Press Rate Collect By George Zuckerman DISSA AND DATA: OR, THE WAY OF A DIGRESSOR: Well, your girl Fanny Fortnightly did it. She went and married the undertaker, just as she threatened last week. As a parting pun, she left this note in your typewriter: "Expect to spend my honey moon at Embaln Beach." As you sit here now tapping out this trivia, you wonder what's going to become of Fanny. * * * * * * It seems the embrygo barrists in our law school were more than somewhat boiled by Editor Hendley's reference to them as "scoun drels". They may in time deserve the nomenclature of "shysters", but you believe Hendley's word for theni was ill placed. After all the lexicon defines a "scoundrel" as a man without honor. And, as Confucius say, honor is a great thing. * * * * ** As you were about to exit from Legare College one day last week, Historian Wienefeld momentarily stopped you and reported that Tuesday and Wednesday classes were beginning to become unpopular with the students. Not very long ago Saturday was first on the college cut parade. Why Tuesday and Wednesday have suddenly become so popular with would-be-truants is an enigma to you. . .unless this is the explanation: it takes three days to recuperate from the week you spend on Sunday here... * * * * * * It was drawing near midnight last Friday at the field house where forty-six boys in search of glory with gloves battled each other and the trio of fistic fates. ihe cheers were loud, and the yawns were low and wide, especially the one emitted by a scribe at the press table. "You know," he said, "the show is pretty long". For a moment he paused, then, turning toward Rannah Heyward and Dumes Turner, he quipped: "Gone With The Wind, again!". * * * * * * After the reader has read the details of this yarn it won't be so hard to believe how some denizen of DeKalb avenue sold the Brook lyn Bridge on an average of once a day and twice on Sundays. . . High schoo.athletes in search of college scholarships have employed the practice of sending local newspaper clippings of their football fame to coaches. The trouble with this scheme seemed to be the dearth of clippings, and you mean the same clippings. For most of these lads hit the headlines infrequently. Not perplexed how ever was the gridder from Brookyn seeking a pigskin place here. This enterprising youngster sent a sheet, the size of a movie poster, to Rex Enright. The whole thing was a photostatic copy of his combined press notices. . . All of this was fairly effective until shown to another refugee from Dodgertown who translated and deflated the getup.. . One of your favutiie figuwes in rcccrt history, is Pancho Villa, Mexico's gormandizing generalissimo. To the tune of La Cucar acha he transformed a multitude of peons into an army of pilgrims with a purpose. He plundered. . .khled. . .lived with lust. . .and ,nade news. Charles Short, the veteran referee who was one of the officials at the boxing tournament, told a tale last Saturday which brought history into the realm of personal experience. A little more than two decades ago Short was a professional boxer, and uie of his pugilistic peregrinations brought him south of the border down Mexico way. (By permission of the copyright owners). After a successful fistic engagement, Short and his manager beamed as they thought of how their suitcases would be packed with pesos. With the announcement of the winner-who was Short-into the arena, preceded by bristle bearded and barefooted bodyguards and the whistling of the cockroach ditty, lumbered the Mexican govern nient-better known as Pancho Villa. And he came not to be ap plauded but to collect sixty percent of the Short cut. His booty collected, Villa and his brigands left as they came, only slightly richer. And left with the short end was Mr. Short. To town in the last forthnight came a host of sports scribes for the fistic tournament. . .and one camne to get a pigskin pae'wo the 1940 edition of the Enright Riders. Tlhat was Burke Davis, Charlotte News sports editor. After listening to Burke tell tales of tall frosted glasses he encountered in HIavana, you had to hurry and get a (lope to assuage your thirst. . . Well pleased with the boxing bouts were Jake WVade, Charlotte Observ'er's sports editor, andl Dick O'Brien of the Washington Times- Herald. . . Both of them handle the G;oldlen Gloves tournaments in their cities. . . From Clemson's drum beater Joe Sherman came the modest statement that Banks Mc Fadden made himself an All-American. . . D)on't you believe it. . . Benny Alperstein also came and the entire array of lightweights were v'ery relieved to see Benny in a dlouble breasted suit while all the leatherpushing w'as going on... All's quiet here now. . .nothing much doing. . .nothing to wear b)ut clothes. . .nothing to eat but food...

Glenn Rice, a junior from Belton, S. C., has re sponded favorably to Enright's daily stresi on punting. He is now sending high, long spirals booming down the field, and usually well away from the eager hands of the safety man. Enright also has been teaching Angelo DeMarrio, Al Grygo, Joe Grugan, and Jack Crawford the fine points of the kicking game. Any or all of this quartet may come through next fall. Tuesday the Bird mentor sent his charges through a long and inten sive scrimmage in an effort to catch up on work lost during the two (lays takenti up by the Southern Con ference boxing tournament. Anoth er rough and tumille session is slat ed for today or tomorrow. So far most of the work has been of offensive nature, but beginning next week Enright will begin schooling his charges in defensive football. All scrimmages from now on will be toward a better and tight er defense. As the halfway mapk of spring practice is reached, it looks like a real struggle will develop for the starting end posts next fall. Fred Snell, Stan and Steve Nowak, and John Leitner are all going to town at the flank slots. At present it ap pears that the elder Nowak and Snell have the upper hand, due to their superior experience. Jr. Biologists Look Toward State Meeting The South Carolina Association of Junior Biologists held a meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 21 at the Univer sity of South Carolina. Plans for the new constitution for a state wide organization were discussed. The constitution will be voted on at the next meeting. Tentative dates will be set soon for a state meeting of similar groups probably in comjUlction with the South Carolina Academy of Science meeting to be held this spring at Greenville. iDuring the iaecting a paper was read by Bryan Lumpkin.

Surely these feature stories were placed on the editorial page by mistake. Has it occurred to you that your editorials should be a' result of your education at Carolina, that they should, by their tone, use of lan guage and expression, encourage en rollnent in the University? Do you think that parents will send their children to the University to be come proficient in the use of phrases and words such as; "A letter which does not read like a page from a Rover Boy book would do for our mnind what a corset does for a woman's hips", "stinking organiza tion", "if your belly can stand some figures, read on and find why this is so", etc. I would like to submit this letter to The Gamecock and the student body, feeling that the editorials published in The Gamecock, the University's own newspaper, are certainly not representative of Caro lina as it now is and do not aid Carolina in what it wishes to be come.

The flight school is being held at Municipal air field under experi enced airmen of the Hawthorne Flying Service, Incorporated, with whom the Civil Aeronautics Au thority has a working contract. The minimum of flying time required for a pilots license is 35 hours for each student and the maximum is 50 hours. Marvin Hemble, manager of the Municipal Airport, is in charge of the flight instruction. He said that the CAA has provided him with several log books for the aviation courses. These logs contain detailed records of each flight th'e students make during the training period. The Hawthorne Flying service has put four new training ships of the type required by the CAA into service for the University fliers. The air school has now been functioning for 16 weeks. The University is already receiv ing request for information about next year's program which will be carried out as it is being done this year.
