News from tlhat denisely populated pun itidicates tiat the business barons have not yet accepted the erstwhile giant gridder. Writes Irving: " ... How's everything with you at good old Carolina? I can't seem to get used to the idea that Ilh home to stay and certainly miss the old place. . . \Il of wihicih is sincere nostalgia....And not to be taken with a Cranoff salt...

Formula for pool success appears to be: Winla Southern Conference boxing title.. .or ally yourself with one of the machines ... 1rom your vatntage it looks like another blitz krieg at the iolls ...Just what roles Bimbo [lowe and Judge I-ol land will play in the forthcoming elections is conjecture. Both of these holbishells, of late, have been going through campus life like a couple of duds. It might he the clinched silence before the storm. Or it might be that college politics, here, is as ante(dhilvianl as the big al)ple... * * * * From chilly Chicago comes some philousophy (correct spelling) via Farley's penny postcard. . ..".This is a hellava life, if ever I've seen one. Sometimes I resent th)e moment of beauty because they make too great a contrast with the continuum of ugliness-which otherwise might be tolerable." The author was not Confucius or Schopenhauer-but J. Martyn Hlodes...which explains all... * * * * Best work of the week belongs to Professor Babcock who landed a havmaker on "Gone With Tlie \Wind". . .socked it clean to the trash pile wihere it belongs... Once you attempted to express the same opinion weeks ago, when the movie version was in town, anid immediately were pounced by provoked accents...you (lidln't even have a chance to quote the late Ileywood 11roun's comment on the "classic of the age" which takes an age to read ...

Globe-Times ... One of the best characters ever to color the campus, )arney couldn't be beat in a bull session...This, perhaps is llarney's preatest and gro tesque bid for fame. . .Years back Ilarney was an assistant in the morgue of New York's llelvue llospital. And, one night in the course of his duties to corpses, lie assisted in the slicing of Ernie Schaff's skull after that ill-fated heavyweight was killed in the ring by ponderous Primo Carnera. That autopsy tops all, according to farnicy ... You're glad Barney's relporting now for he has a way with words. * * * * The indignant letter dispatched to the Gamecock by Ralph Lee coinsumnedl many coluns. . .in fact too many. Letter-writing ILee had some fair arguments . ..even if they were prompted an official source related to the situation. .. What interested you was H-enidley's closing replly to Lee in which he claimed that ILee might he able to dliscu ss sex on an intellectual pllane. . .That brings to mind that p)erpetunal (juery: D)o you think sex is here to stay'? * * * * Time back there was some campus chatter about Stalin appear ing in the new Christophersen production . ..Well they have given tup the idea, <pilit Stalin, and whipped the show in shape. .. As Arnold Miuir, one of the cast, quipped, "We've stopped all this Hlullsheviki and( gone to work''. .. If the passes show uip in tiime, you'll be there 'Tluesday night to reviewv "D ark Tower". . .andl to probably' entjoy it. * * * * This seems to be a stag column-filled with mail-but before you write thirty on this copy yon are goinig to include a missive sent by Fanny Fortn ighitly, until recent ly your secretary. . .As yout reported last week Fannyi, who married the undertaker, was spending her hioneymooni at Eiibahin B each.

During the siege of Atlanta, only three things were running. Belle's place, Prissy's nose, and the laundry that kept Rhett's white suits snow white. Atelanie's baby arrived about the same time Sherman did. Both were equally welcome to Scarlett. It was, so far as our painstaking research revealed, the first haby ever horn in technicolor. Anyway, the South lost the war again in the picture. (What could you expect with a lot of Yankee pro ducers?) and Scarlett married Rhett to get even with him. Their married life was just like setting in hell's fire and listening to the heavenly choir. Finally, after Afelanie (ied (the doctor's always right) Scarlett re alized that she didn't love Ashley but Rhett. Scarlett was as change able as a baby's underwear. llowever, Rhett had had enough of her foolishness and when she told I im, he says, "Frankly, my (lear, I (lont give a damn."
