DISSA AND DATA: OR, WHO LIVES IN THE SIMS
COLLEGE TOWER?
Through the canteen you strolled and the other day to discover
that spring and politics had arrived upon the scene ... elections..
. may queens ... bicycling. .. grass sitting. .. class cutting..laiquid
lectures... and thoughts of june, and january on the breadline...
* * * *
On the salaried subject of breadlines, you are reminded that you
have a letter from Irving GranofT, postmiarked from 1rooklyii. 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...
Back to the local scene.. and spring.. according to the testimony
of hb Greenfield. spritig is a lot of hooey. . .The spelling might be
incorrect. but a fan letter told you this week that you spelled Conl
fucius correctly, and that the rest of the Ganiecock -tatT did not...

Local politicians report that the campus campaign will be more
than: merely interesting. 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 ... Brouti: ... "(; \\ 1 V
should have been given to a metropolitaii night city editor who woulI
have chopped it down to about one hundred pages" ... It is your be
lief that Thomas Wolfe's works will be long remembered after
GWTWI\ is finally classilied with larold 1ell \right's novels...
* * * *
Barney Beidleman, recent refugee from our school of journalism,
is now a star rel)orter with the llethlehem (.1'a.) 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. Now Fannyi writes: "The honeymoon
is over, andl now thle troublle has begun. It senms we can't dlecide
wh ere to live. Mly hutsb anntd, M ort TIisha n, has a penchanit for liv
ing up lstairs over ani einl tyv lot. I donti thinuk I would like that. I 'd

And Belle. You'd have loved
Belle. Everybody did.
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."
Neither, by this time did the an
dience. They were glad to see the
end, their own having become
number than somewhat from seats
harder than a landlady's stare.
