HIGI SCHOOL NOIV
CAROLINA TOMORROTV
Hello, high-school students!
We, as the oldest state-supported Univer
sity of the nation and as the most up and
coming college in the state, welcome you to
the Carolina caml)us. WVe know that your
first business here is with the various con
tests, but we hope that you will make other
use of your time than merely to show how
good you are in Latin or in French, in ten
nis and debating.
The opportunities that the University of
fers have been outlined by President Mc
Kissick in his message to you which ap
pears on page one. Look over the campus,
and before you leave get to know us.
When you leave our campus, we hope that
you will have not left for good. We want
you back as students here. There are jobs
waiting for you: positions on The Game
cock staff, offices in the literary societies, on
the Garnet and Black staff, membership in
the social and service fraternities. When
you leave tomorrow we want you to think
of us as your University, the one that you
are coming to.
Instead of saying good-bye to you tomor
row we shall say, "So long-until Septem
ber!"
FRIEN)
TO CAROLINA
For the past several years the University
Y. M. C. A. has published a handbook and
sent copies to high school students in an
effort to interest them in coming to Carolina.
Numbers of high school students have re
ceived their first information about their
state university from reading their copy
of the Y's bird.
Three years ago the merchants of Colum
bia, realizing the benefits they derive from
an effective advertising of the University,
decided to join together and bear the ex
pense of )ublishing the handbook by con
tributions instead of solicited advertising.
Through their generosity in donating the
amount necessary to put out the handbook
they have made it possil)1e for hundreds of
high school students to learn of the educa
tional opportunities offered by their state
university.
To Mr. O. S. Ilillman, president of the
Merchants' Assocjitioni, who hit. wvorked un
tiringly in securing the money to pay for
publication of the handbook, should go
most of the credlit for the service rendered
to high school students.
Last year's handbook was dledicated1 to
Mr. Ilhilbnan, aln honor wvhich he indeed
mlerited1. Tro him as a real benefactor of
the University. Carolina extends sincere
thanks.

FUN SJIEET7
To Pro fessors HIavilah Babcock, Hlarry C.
D)avis, and S. C. DePass The Gamecock
wvishies to express its appreciation for the
he.lp which they as faculty advisors gave us
on tihe AIpril Fool issueC. H aying spon
sored1 ourI p)etitioni for a fun sheet b)efore tile
faculty, they found themiselvecs burdened
with the dulty~ of examlininig with us all lma
telrill to appeailr.
Tfime is alvays anm ilmportant factor iln
pu1ttinig out at nuewspaper. The p)rofes5sors
as ad visors coul easily have grealtly hin
dered us inl getting tile cop)y to p)ress. Tfak
inIg the copy for thme pauper inl handl( at atll
timles of the dlay, they laid asidle their own
work and gave imumediate attention to ours.
In p)ositionm to enforce a p)rud(ish censor
shmip uplonl us, our advisors confined them
selves in mrost cases to correcting our~ spell
ing and grammar, even our~ versification !
Knowing thait they might be blamed by
their fellow faculty lmenmbers fun-poking at
professors they let practically all of the ma
terial go through, in no cases dlemandling
that copy be deleted, and suggesting changes
in very fewv places.
The Gamecock wishes to commend Pro
fessors Babcock, D)avis, andl D)ePass for their
consideration, their senIse of proportion,

THE PARADOXICAL
COLLEGE MAN
That college men are alike the nation over
and that northern universities are very like
this of the southern variety is shown by ob
servations made by Raymond E. Manches
ter, Dean of Men at Kent State University in
Ohio in a pamphlet that we received re
cently:
"The college man is a living paradox.
Most people cannot understand him and
those who do, come to their conclusions by
indirect proof. He talks of the future but
worships the past. He is liberal in his con
versation but conservative in his action.
He is radical in his opinions on politics, but
elects stand-patters to the class offices. He
demands freedom of thinking but defends
with all his strength the traditions of his
institution. He takes wild stands on religi
ous theories yet attends college and univer
sities that are created and maintained by the
orthodox creeds. He preaches democracy
yet supports the most rigid campus caste
system. Ie demands that his university
maintains the highest athletic standards
vet in the same breath also demands a. pro
fessional football team. lie scoffs at his
profs yet defends them strenuously when
they are criticized. He rebels against rules
but sets up more rigid ones when given the
opportunity. IIe hazes the high school grad
uate who comes with a boy scout badge on
his coat, but he covers his own vest with
medals and keys. He invents and uses the
most outlandish slang on the street, but reads
and writes pure English in his room. He
clamors for self government but doesn't want
it after he gets it. He laughs at conven
tion but insists upon it. He cuts classes the
(lay before a vacation but comes back three
days early.
You ask "What are we going to do about
it?" We are going to praise the Lord that
we have him and that he is just what he is,
a walking contradiction of himself."
POOR LiTTLE
R1III BUILDING
To I)elta Sigma Pi, the commerce frater
nity on the campus, We offer our congratu
lations for their fun night plans. Not only
is the fraternity supplying entertainment
for the high school visitors and for us on
the camp)us, the group is at the same time
earning money for the Student Union Build
ing to which the profits from tonight's pr'o
gram are going.
Tihe Student Union Building has, since it
was op)enedl last semester, been the poor~ lit
tle rich child of the Carolina community.
The newest and1( proudlest of our buildings,
it has been one of the most p)oorly equip)ped.
Recognizing the fact that the sofas, tables,
andi chairs p)rovidled by the University were
not enough to make the lobby livable and at
tracltive, the board of directors of the build
ing have attempted to raise money by aip
p)ealing to service organizations andl by giv
ing twentv-five cents Saturday night (lances.
With the money collected little by little in
this wamy the board has bought new curtains
But curtains and a radlio (10 not mauke a
Stiuent Union. TIhe lboardl, when the
money commes in, hopes to buy rugs, pic
tuires, and1 1books to attract the studenits to
lhe building. If the building is to come ump
to what the board wishes it to be, more
space for tmeetings, for chapulter rooms for
honorary fraternities miust be p)rov'idled.
'The Carnegie Mumsic Set, placed in a room
so small that it has to be p)layedl at one
tenth of its volume, needis to be put in a
larger pla1ce, in one of the rooms down
stairs or possibly in one of the wings of the
bu11ild ing.
All of this takes money-money which the
UJniversity has not been able to supply. To
make chapter rooms out of the first floor
of the east wing and1 possibly to put a small
chap)el there, p)artitions must be removed.
While other service groups have contrib
uited to the Student Union Building, Delta
Sigma I is the first to make a concerted
drive to raise funds. For their unselfish
ness and vision for a better Carolina they
desearve the higrhest m.aise.

CAROLINIAN: The literary mag
azine, which appears every time the
printer is pepped by a bowl of Wheat
ies or something, is to be turned over
to new guiding hands-or blue pen
cils-today. Inside information
scoop-leads this columnist to pre
dict that the new editor will be Ham
let's Meloncholy Cannon. Undoubt
edly the magazine under the influence
of the feminine Eleanor will have a
more romantic tang-like the Ladies
Home Journal-or maybe the mag will
suffer from Droughts. But Cannon
like her name-is a powerful person
ality, and it is more than likely that
the reader will get his fifteen cents
worth... Retiring Gamecock Editor
Charles Lee, who will return next fall
to seek his Master's degree, is slated
for Literary Editor. Other day Charles
told me he thought his short
story, "Mothers Are Like Balloons,"
was very good, despite the fact that
the public and Story Contest judges
seemed to think otherwise. Budding
authors are hereby warned that their
magnus opus may be just a lot of
trash to the Erudite Charley. But he
is honest and frank enough to make
a verbal statement of his opinions.
His predecessor, Canada's Walter
Connolly, also had some singular ideas
concerning literary values, but, since
he dared to publish Tribble's story,
his short career was a success... The
issue which has-or which will-hit
the campus contains, among other
things, the winners of the Story Short
story contest-that is local winners,
whose manuscripts were forwarded to
be judgcd in a nation-wide competition
...Al Rouslin thus retires to be re
membered in some day to come as the
first editor of the New Carolinian
which is one of his secret hopes.
VARSITY SHOW: The riddle of
the campus follies was cleared by
Harry Riddle, who, after many changes
of management, turned out to be the
local Zeigfeld. Under Harry's guid
ance the tempermental talent and the
filibustering footballers have worked
hard to whip the show in shape. The
script, which keeps the revue from
running in all directions, is the work
of Helen A. Proctor. The ambitious
Jerry Miller, who really started the
whole thing, is now' content to re
main in the background-despite the
fact that his script was dliscarded..
Bright feature of the show wvill be the
original songs composed l)y Jane
Ward, Lyn Edwards, and Max Hus
bands. The last mentionedl, for a long
time, wvas suspected of being a jour
nalist... Comprising the cast are sev
enty-five students, who will sing,
(lance and try to be amusing--and
from recent rehearsals it appears that
they will succeed along all lines. En
right's gridders are featured in two
numbers: a serious modernistic dance
a Ia Ted Shawn; andl then a bur
lesque number, ambitiously expected
to abruptly move the audience into the
seatless aisles.. .To be presented as a
highlight is a new college pep song
to be rendleredl by the University Sym
phony Orchestra. This ponderous
group will retire later in favor of the
swing music of Gregg Pearce and his
Pickups-five pieces- who'promise to
lbe loud...Maestro. Stephan and
Woods, busy with other enterprises,
gave moral support--andl a little more,
which consistedl of inducing local re
ticent talent to become vociferous.
TJhe "operators of the fake travel bu
reau:" (free p)ublicity) are in charge of
p)roducimg some "prize high school
plays", to be presentedl here in the
near future... On May fourth and fifth,
at Drayton Hall, the Varsity Show
makes its formal appearances-and
this column hopes it is before a ca
pacity audience-packed house to you.
STUDENT ELECTION: Ralph
Dearth lost the election to Jerry
Hughes because of a dlearth of votes.
And because the Machine, which in
cludes Bimbo Howe, who obviously
has not yet learned all the tricks from
his big brother Gedney, could not ral
ly its patronage-or something. Some
one ought to take photo of Jerry now,
and then compare it with one taken
