DIVINE AND MAPL.E STREETS PRONES 8105 - 3106 Female Artists, Male Scientists Dominate Campus Freshman Preference Results Show Traits For Jobs Of Future Big tough scientists and mathemati cal wizards, and sweetly feminine mu sicians and artists are abundant on the old campus this year, or at least that is the biggest dream of fresh men this year according to preference records filled out during freshman week by new students. Loud are the laments about the tough math teachers and the long science labs, but the quiz filled out by freshman boys this year shows a preponderant interest in computation al and scientific interests. As has of ten been suspected the girls showed the most marked preference for the softie subjects of art and music. Based on sample scores from a large number of mid-western college freshmen the averages for Carolina freshman eds and co-eds ran very close to the western averages. The boys' chief interests ran towards sci entific, mathematical, and persuasive occupations. Above the mid-west average was the interest of Carolina girls'in art, music and social service occupations such as welfare work and nursing. Authors, artists, and musicians suf fered alike in the choices of the males. P e r s u a s i v e characteristics are marked a wee bit lower than average for freshman co-eds but better men than Gunga Din will testify that they are pretty good at persuasion-at least outside the testing classroom. The quiz is divided into seven scores, each representing a separate trait or occupational preference. The seven traits are scientific, computa tional, musical, artistic, literary, social service, and persuasive. KSK To Distribute Telephone Books Directories To Be In All Dorms Soon Because of an insufficient supply of telephone directories throughout the campus, KSK has undertaken to dis tribute these books in every tenement, according to Dan Gibbes, secretary of the fraternity. Luther McCutchen and James Gal loway were elected as a committee to see about the proper distribution of these books. McCutchen will act as chairman of this committee. If everything proceeds according to plans these directories will be dis tributed in about two weeks at the most. Every year KSK endeavors to fos ter projects similar to the above for the improvement of the campus.

SKcRETARY-TREASURER IOMe DRADS Dlina Meets y' Cut Rate igs. OINTS Letters To To the Editor of The Gamecock: It was quite a surprise and shock to me when I returned to school and found that there was a strong prob ability. of the Carolinian's being dis continued this year because of lack of financial aid from the student ac tivities fee. I have enthusiastically endorsed the Carolinian since it was first revived three years ago and have read every copy with much interest. I shall miss a great deal of personal enjoyment if it does not come out this year. But great as my personal loss would be, I should regret much more that Carolina, as a school, is failing to support its magazine when it is the best in the state. Practically all of the schools in South Carolina have magazines which are supported by money from their activity fees. It is natural to expect that the University of South Carolina, which offers more latitude in liberal arts Constitution Rests In Faculty's Hands Professors Defer Action On Document For Month The new proposed Student Body constitution is to be mimeographed and copies distributed among the members of the faculty, according to a resolution passed by the faculty at the meeting held last Wednesday af ternoon. The constitution will again be con sidered by the faculty at next month's meeting. The action was taken after the spe cial faculty committee made its report to the faculty. The members of the faculty expressed themselves as de siring more time to study the new document. After final action by the faculty, the constitution will go to the board of trustees, before it can go into effect.

At present we seem to be retreating. It would be foolish to condemn un-. necessarily those who have charge ofI allocating the student fees for not-. giving the needed support. They have their problem in giving the organiza--.. tions on the campus an equitable share of the money. But it does seem to me, when we i have increased the fee without the consent or approval of the students, it would not be amiss to give our magazine a little support before it ' goes under. The Carolinian has supported it. self for three years through the in dustry of a small number of students, who were interested in making it a success. I think it is time we give;, them a little help. Yours sincerely, Harold Prince. 140 Applicants Take 'ROTC Exam Bosun's Mate Former Says Two-Thirds Pass Until Wednesday noon 140 appli cations had been received for nem bership in the new naval ROTC unit, Chief Boatswain's Mate L.
