Press Rate Collect By George Zuckerman CHEESECAKE IS FOOD FOR THOUGHT * * * * * CHILDREN MAY CRY FOR CASTORIA, BUT ADULTS CLAMOR FOR' GLAMOR. Glamor even holds the spotlight in such a nefarious business as war. From England recently have come photographs of nurses in abbreviated costumes. Strip tease shows, which in the recent past were banned in London by the clergy, are now approved by the bigwigs. All of which, no doubt, is intended to make the war something besides 'a bore for the legion of Tommy Atkins. Right here on our campus we are in the midst of a cheesecake festival. Everybody is glamor girl conscious, ommphatically so. For instance now you take our May Queen election. Norine Huey, whom you wrongly described as a walking anachonism, won top honors. And Rannah Heyward rannah close second. You honestly believed the Huey gal was a pulchritudinous picture of the past. But that was weeks ago. Since then a metamorpho sis has taken place here. Responsible for that was Frank. Ward law, director of the University news service, and Perrin Kennedy, local camerartist. With Wardlaw directing, Kennedy captured with the camera eye some Hollywoodish angles of Norine. When the fotos were released they were on par with movie publicity stills. * * * * * YOU WENT TO CAMDEN THE OTHER SUNDAY WITH SPORTS ANNOUNCER Jim Young. While watching the equs trian interpretation of billiards, Harper Gault, sports editor of the Rock Hill Herald, came by to say hello. Harper began talking about the fine publicity coming from the University. "That was a swell picture you sent out last week," he said. You thought he was talking about some gridiron picture, or the photograph of a track star. But he continued: "Yes, that was a swell picture of the May Queen. Why, we even put it on the front page." Trains crash and kill scores of people . . . ships sink . . . blitz kreighs thunder in Northern Europe . . . the Dodgers win three in a row ... and yet they find room on the front page for cheesecake. In case you have gotten the idea that this columnist is again' it you had better see your psychiatrist. THE MOST INTERESTING SPORTS NEWS NOW EMATING FROM THE UNIVERSITY concern two femi nine athletes, Jane Crum, the Lady of the Links, and Sarah Rush ton, Queen of the Tennis Court. Most of the sports editors in the section are requesting pictures and stories about them. Jane's photogenic countenance has often sported the sports section of the Charlotte News. This week to Scoop League from Varsity, a new weekly devoted to college news, came a request for fotos and stories about Crum and Rushton. One weekday afternoon you were sitting in the stands of Mel ton field with two major league baseball scouts. There was a baseball game in progress and the ivory hunters were ostensibly searching for another Ty Cobb or Babe Ruth. But the two gentle men seemed more interested in the gambs than in the game. One of them confessed that he thought our co-eds looked better than our ball players. * * * * * EDITOR COIT HENDLEY CAN HARDLY THINK ABOUT EDITORIALS THESE DAYS. His main source of concern is Mary Daly, who is beautiful daily and Sunday. Mary is the South Carolina entrant in the beauty contest sponsored by Radio and Screen Guide. Should she be chosen among the top twelve in the nation, she and Hlendley would get a free train ride to Galesburg, Illinois, the home of Knox College and the background of a rac coon coat flicker soon to be released by the cinematstros. * * * * * BUT YOU KNOW A FELLOW WHO STILL LIKES HIS WOMEN BEAUTIFUL but dumb, as the expression goes. In other words he has a yen for glamorons. -Contest -nefa (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1)(CNIUDFO PAE) The finals in all scholastic con- Teewr h anpit n tests are being held in Peabody Gym, at University High, under thevoedacrin tonanuc direction of Prof. H.

South Carolina is low on the list of illiteracy as compared with the rest of the states in the Union. Since the War Between the States, South Carolina has not regained her place of prestige. To most sections of the United States the Old South Carolina holds a significance-but the new one has relatively little. It is in lieu of this fact that I advocate and feel the need for a little South Carolina advertisement. You should be proud to live in the same state with a band as fine as the Winthrop College Band. The Legis lature, which represents the state as a whole, is proud enough of us to show us off to the whole world by sending our band to the New York World's Fair. They, which represent your home town and mine-your taxpayer father and mine, reflect and register the same attitudes of our parents as a whole. That is why they are sent to the State Legislature; that is why they were elected-for had not our parents and other voters faith to put into those men's and women's hands their trust, they would not have been elected. And so they act as proxy for our citizens and taxpayers. To get a new chapel, Kappa Sigma Kappa doesn't have to "orgaisize a co-ed band with the May Queen as drum majorette," nor "plead your cause with strains of 'Dixie' and 'The Hupa-Hula March.' " No! All you have to do is to have the motivation. After having that, then you will find a way-even though the money comes from your very own pockets which is now being spent as social "musts." So, I don't understand why you be grudge our one small taste of the so cial sweets of life-for most of our other life is not a social sweet. If you don't believe me. ask transfers from our college to your University; for they just couldn't take the many grains of social salt they had to swallow here, for that is why they transferred. And yet you begrudge us the only mouthful of social food which is fed us by the state. IIeaven lfielp the narrow-minded pessimism of such gluttons as are all for themselves, with never another thought of others who are less for tunate! I am, Sincerely yours, (Miss) Lessie Gertrude Wilson. A GREAT STORE IN A GREAT CITY Haverty Furniture Co. TWO YEARS OF LAW Leadina to the LL.B dear.. CUMBERLAND UNIVERSITY LEBANON, TENN.
