A Coed's By Velda Do you ever have a secret desire to slide down the banisters in LeConte col lege or make a speech from the balcony of the Extension building? All your life have there been certain things you wanted to do but just couldn't because you were afraid people would laugh at you or think you were crazy? I have many such desires. For instance, when I'm sitting in a crowded movie theater watching one of Robert Taylor's most emotional love scenes all I can think of is how much I would like to stand up and shout, "Fire, fire, the building is on fire." This would probably endanger the lives of many people, but in spite of this the idea keeps popping up. Everytime I ride in a bus and the driver stops in the middle of the block to go in the drug store and get his after noon Coco-Cola I long to jump in the driver's seat and fly through the streets of Columbia at about 80 miles an hour. Everytime I would pass a corner, I'd make faces at the people who were wait ing for the bus and observe their startled expressions. Think what fun it would be to call on your friends and offer to take them to ride in a big red bus. I also have a pet weakness which also seems to be that of other Carolina stu dents. I love to draw mustaches and false eyebrows on statues and pictures in magazines. My idea of a perfect day would be one speut in the University library just drawing disiguring marks on the statues of Soutih Carolina's eminent statesmen. I woulk also enjoy dressing then up with hats and bow ties and painting their noses red if it seemed to suit their personality. Dturing the Carolina-Clenison game the statds are always tilled with excite ment and everyone is cheeriug but at the most thrilling moment my mind always seems to be on some far away subject, such as what fun it would he to walk out to the middle,of the held, sit down and start playing a game of jackstones or marbles and completely ignore the game wilich is going on. Everytime you go into a library or any TRUE ROMANCE' and GLORIOUS ADVENTURE... IU- ..4.. GARY COOPER 'Jldwenlures .Marco Polo BASIL RATHBON ERETTRUEX e GEORGE BARBIER ALAN HALE * BINNIE BARNES Starts MONDAY! PALMETTO Impulses i Harth place where it is perfectly quiet do you long to sing a popular song at the top :f your voice, or when you enter a hotel lo you want -to shout "Call for Philip Morris"? These are some more of my weaknesses. I've always wanted to ride in a dumb waiter. I would like to slip inside quietly when nobody is looking and then ride ip and down to my heart's content. When I got tired I would stop.at the ground floor and wait for someone to open the door and then yell "surprise" when they lid. I would also like to have a custard pie battle witp someone, preferably a very fat person, as is done in the Hal Roach comedies. Of course, I'd give the other fellow a chance and let him throw a few pies at me. A dance is another time I am likely to be overcome with these wild desires. Hlow often when I have had to "cheek to cheek" dance with one of those boys who just didn't have time to shave before he left home, have I wanted to turn my head around and take a big bite out of iis right ear. And then, who doesn't wvant to lead a band? I always have the strongest yearning to climb up on the >andstand and put the orchestra through i chorus of "Tiger Rag" in the fastest empo. I can think of many other things I'd ike to do which would shock the neigh >orhood and disgrace the family but, uckily, I was born a timid soul. Library Receives Numerous Books Recent statistics show "The Citadel" ind "Northwest Passage" are at pres mnt the two most popular books among ;tudents at the University. "Of Mice and ifeii" by John Steinbeck has been run iing a close second.

Garden Work Goes Forward Work in the University Botanica garden recently has consisted in sowinf down the unplanted areas in peas an< soy beans, in order to put the land ii gondI condlition for planting next fall anc winter. These cover crops will keep dowi weeds and add nitrogen to the soil. The icaves and street sweepings whici the city street force gave last Fall for - compost heap have been used as a mulcl for beds already planted in shrubbery Leaf mulch not only mellows the soil ani furnishes fertilizer to the young plants but also by checking the growth of weed! and grass will save cultivation durinj the summer season. Considerable progress has been mad< also in improving the trails through th< woods, and in providing drainage for thi woods paths, and building steps dowi the steel) parts of the hill. Generous gifts have come in for th< garden recently, including a truck loa< of clean, white sand, given by Charle: Foster, manager of a nearby sand pit and also ten truck loads of rich wood! dirt contributed by the Palmetto garde, club.

Such are the good points brought fori in the business man's inventory. Profe sor R. S. James advises his secretari students to develop attractive personal ties, as this point heads the "desirablei list. Professor James says that most peop are so vain that they make themselv4 believe that their bad characteristics al few and insignificant, and that peop prefer to enlarge upon theii good cha acteristiks. What is personality? Webster says is "that which constitutes a person which would include, intelligence, reasol ing, sensations, reflexes, instincts, emi tions, perceptions, imagination and met1 ory. Personality related to secretari training should include qualities by whic others judge you. In a recent survey made in Californi business men were asked to list undesi able characteristics most prevalent stenographers. Most frequent of the! were as follows: discourtesy, gum cheN ing, gossiping, irresponsibility, overdres ing (including bright nail polish), la? ness, petty dislikes, poor posture, sellis] ness, talking too much, tardiness, discus ing personal problems with other c ployces, clock-watcher. Professor James advises students take an inventory of personal qualiti and eliminate or improve them to the e: tent that they will not be a liability, that when students complete secretari training at the University they will 1 able to sell their services at their ov price rather than pt their employer's di count. -U. a. C. University Buys' New Equipment The mimeographing department buying new equipment : A Multigral Duplicator and a paper cutter, Miss Ali Benet, director, said this week. The equipment will arrive about Ju 5, and a demonstration will be giv June 15. An expert will teach Miss Bei the technique of the machine. Both the paper cutter and the dup cator will speed up work considerabl Miss Benet said. She expects to get printed forms for iexi year done tt summer. The machine will be used f the work of all departments of the c< lege. It is supposed to pay for itself on tl summer's running, Miss Benet said. The only drawback, she remarked, w that it took 20 minutes to get the machi going, and 20 minutes to clean it 1 after the day's work wa done. -o m. a.

In each high It. school visited, she made a talk to the ik seniors describing the advantages to be rs obtained at Carolina. "I feel that work through the high th schools, contacting every member of the s- senior classes at once is much more profit al able than visiting individuals through the summer. The best students seldom wait until summer to make up their minds," Miss Gaines said. Ie It is probable that she will make trips through sections she was unable to touch re le this year, but there will be no extensive r travel as last summer. Since this is the first year field work has been done it through South Carolina, Miss Gaines feels that next year's work can be ar ranged in a more effective way. It is her . plan to start early in the year and work through contacts already made. al She will appreciate it if any Carolina :h. a, THINK OF s COLUMBIA h Prod to SOLD AT TH K_ al )e 1726 MAIl IS THE NEW 3 SOUTHERN A is ."DIXIE'S GREATEST NA cc 01S nie e WE THA ii y, In this, the last issue ol ill lis wish to take the opportu or >I- dents and faculty for s shown us during the yea as serve you in the future. 11C jP Warwick D be 1616 Sumter Street of a t.
