University of South Carolina Libraries
CAMPUS PEL BY I.ZOLA MARY WILLIS You know Mary Willis, don't you? She's one of those clever students who complete their college careers in three years. She's at Carolina now in the capacity of student assistant in the French library, and in pursuit of her master's degree. Next year she will teach school. Fond of reading, she enjoys the nov els of Paul Verlinne, and Dumas and the philosophical works of Descartes. Deeply interested in dramatics, she is *chief critic and a regular patron of the University Players. "I always buy their first ticket," she says. "I hate turnip greens and concen trating. My weakness is laziness, and I love listening to music, but I can't even play a comb. I prefer Wagner's operatic airs." Mary is a Phi Beta Kappa, and while at Carolina has held membership in Polumatheian Club, La Societe Ami cale (French fraternity), Eta Sigma Phi (Latin fraternity), Euphrosynean literary society, and the,. University Bible Club. She has been president and .ecretary of Polumatheian, presi dent and treasurer of the French fra ternity, and critic of the literary so ciety. Mary is in favor of the installation of a new course at the University; one in spoken English. A course to check up on pronunciation would not be a bad idea, she thinks. More recogni tion should be given the French Club, too, she says. She advocates increased appropriation for N. Y. A. work. Mary is planning to take the Euro pean tour planned by the French de partnient of the University this sumn mer. She'll visit England, Holland, Belgium, the Rhine, Germany, Swit zerland, Italy, the Riviera and France.

GARETY FLETCHER SPIGNER The tall, blonde, broad-shouldered captain of the Carolina track team pre fers brunettes, because "they have the best personalities." If a girl is sin cere, he'll gladly overlook all her other faults. But, if by the smile of the gods, she happens to possess beauty with her sincerity, Fletcher is entirely capable of appreciating the sublime combination! A freshman in Law School, Fletcher is another of those clever students who have attained their A. B. degree in three years. Unusually active in campus organi zations he holds membership in Sigma Nu, Euphrosynean literary society, La Societe Amicale (French fraternity), Pi Gamma Mu, Lampad Fraternity (physical culture fraternity), Cotillion Club, German Club, O. ID. K. (leader ship fraternity), Beaux Arts, Y. M. C. A., the Honor Council, the glee club, and, of course, the track team. Dur ing his freshman year, while playing on the freshman football team, he suf fered a knee injury which prohibited his ever carrying the pigskin again. He has been president, secretary, and Pan Hellenic representative of his fraternity, Sigma Nu; president and vice-president of the French Club; honorary captain of the freshman foot ball team; director of the Y. M. C. A. freshman orientation camp; and mem her of the Y. cabinet. This genial campus leader urges in creased appropriation for The (;ac cock and the University art depart ment, and better student support of the Y. M. C. A., and the University Players. It is his fervent des to see better salaries for underpaid Carolina professors, and new buildings for the campus.
