Too Late To Class...
By PAUL "SCOOP" LEAGUE
The following is a scene that George Zuckerman,
former Gamecock editor and now one of Uncle
Sam's most private privates, forever contemplated
writing. This certainly won't be up to his style,
but he can be consoled. Perhaps they have a can
teen society at his army camp, and he may yet be
able to write it.
CANTEEN SOCIETY:
Early morning doughnuts-and-milk breakfasters
grabbing a bite and scurrying off to a History
lecture and bumping into the postman, the laundry
man, and even other students hurrying from earlier
history lectures. They're all hurrying, and even the
postman doesn't wait to ring twice.
Smooth-complexioned Edith Bateman comes early to grab a center
table (the more room for men to crowd around, you dope) and a
bumpy-faced day student sits alone in the back booth munching a
chocolate bar and wonders why she sits alone.
The Smith girls and Mana Connor, move down in formation, eyes
scouting for their favorite front booth and a man; any man. Dick An
derson uncaps a coke with his hands but his eyes are over the counter
into that booth. A freshman named "Peanut," who has to buy over
sized handkerchiefs when he gets a cold, is there too, but we Connor
say why.
Mag-ie-ish chitter-chatter indicates that Pi Phi sorority has gotten
together over a couple of cokes and a dozen straws and a hope in every
breast that the football squad will call signals their way. Like op
posing armies the other sisterhoods begin pitching camp for battle.
Tri Delta (which is not an advertisement for a commercial airline)
sends their sweater representatives to be ogled at by the Post-office's
N. Y. A. assistants. Nonchalant-appearing S.A.E.'s stand over in a corner
passing their sole cigarette around wishing that they could join the
crowd, but afraid because of their Sigma Nu bath.
The machine, Bimbo, Sol, Mayer and Betty, locke the door on an
other booth while a chap named Tommy Truluck looks on and wishes
that he were the key of a locke and key situation. Lesser statellites,
one grinning from ear to ear, and another looking for Connie Morton,
give the pass word and are admitted.
Wahlee Henson and Lanny Lofdahl lean back against red leather
and wish that two other gals that can't take a hint would go away.
The two other gals have already bruised their arms and faces from
diving out at the men that passed, and as a last resort have even con
sidered giving the eye to a chap named Venable Vermont-printer kill
description, name sufficient-who is boring Charlie David about why he
can't buy a book.
Grady Lemond, Jimmy Sinson, and Henry Zimmerman put the
O.K.a on the passing scene-Patty Breeden, who has just emerged
from the inner office of the canteen dean, Whitey Rawl. She leaves
the door cracked to show a conference between the coaching staff,
Flinn Gilland, T. A. LaGrone, Frank Taylor, and Tatum Gressette, all
discussing what they would have done if.
Enter a freshman named Joyce Hetzel and every male senior wishes
that he were a sophomore; also the scene doesn't change and enter
Frances Smith and her friends that don't like to walk.
The boys from the once-famous Tenement 21 only sit and watch now,
subdued, since their little Boy-Scout, Bill Marano has left. Joe Kirby
treats to napkins and Waldo Hyman says thank you.
Members of that super-brain-trust, the law school descend in droves,
as a puny whang dribbles from the new bell system. Patterson, Hemp
hill, Hare, Legare, Yarborough, Rogers, Goldberg, Karesh, listen, while
Cliff Brown tells in a whispered sort of way about his date with Mary
Hull Kaminer the night before. But their laughter doesn't disturb the
serenity of a measles victim hiding behind dark glasses who sips orange
juice at the counter.
Peggy Forbes, with the beautiful orbs, and Sara Flinn, with the
enticing grin, finally are introduced to Jimmy Funderburk and McIver
Riley, stand talking by the door. Two W.P.A. co-eds from up
stairs descend on Corky Griffith, who passes out laundry behind the
counter, and tell him to "come up and see us some time."
The faculty in the person of Dink Gaines and Prof. Hodge splurge
over a chocolate milk shake and look as if they'd like to hold hands.
A nosey journalist slouches in and begins to tell Quinn, Sloan and
Eggerton about how funny it is the old lady that works in the library
reading room can chatter all the time and then expect her warnings
to students to "shush" to carry weight.
And this it seems has covered canteen society.

For Wednesday
Ralph Lewis Will E
Of Alumni Associal
Association Plans Spec
Class Before Members (
A meeting of the senior class
afternoon at 4 o'clock, Jim Gall
nounced recently. This concla
discuss all matters pertaining tc
tation, by Ralph Lewis, of the
Alumni association.
One of the motives that prompted
this meeting was the hope that the
'41 graduates could be knit into an
alumni class organization before
they graduate. It was hoped that
an alumni class fund and some form
of entertainment, the details of
which are yet to be completed,
could be arranged.
Another arrangement was also de
sired whereby all this year's grad
uating class will receive the "Alum
ni News," the Gamecock and other
services of the association, begin
ning next year. Among other things
the Alumni office would like to
plan a reunion for the class of '41
in June of 1942.
Also the Alumni association is
planning some special entertainment
for the seniors before they leave
Carolina. Tentative plans include a
reception for all seniors in the near
future and the invitation of all
seniors to the Alumni Day dinner
during this June.
One of the arguments in favor of
such a pre-graduation organization
is that it will help prepare students
concerned for their future alumni re
lations with Carolina after they
leave the campus. Ralph Lewis is
very much impressed with the value
of such preparation and has prom
ised to urge the Alumni association
to help not only seniors but any
class of the university to prepare
any project conducive to class unity.
Lewis has assured the senior pres
ident that if the class can get to
gether in an alumni organization
sometime soon, the Alumni council
would be glad to lend all possible
aid to then in any project they
would like to sponsor between now
and their departure from the Uni
versity.
According to Lewis this invita
tion to ask aid from the association
is not limited, by any means, to the
senior class alone.

Elise Livingston, from the New
man Club; Junie Hymson, from the
Hillel organization.
Elinor Flinn will contact the fac
ulty members; Sarah Flinn, the so

Elizabeth Bird, are contacting the
sororities; Dick Young is in charge
of the tenement canvassing.
Nevin Betts is directing the drive

Gibbes, and Jimmy Gal.loway spoke
to the fraternities; Carolyn Hayes
is in charge of poster publicity; and
Maude Byrnes Chisholm represents
the law school. Hal Prince has
charge of city publicity.
Every student at Carolina is urged
to donate something for this fund
to help other students abroad who
are not so fortunate. Realizing that
many do not hive the extra money,
the committee desires students to
try to make some sacrifice for the
cause. Successful campaigns have
been conducted on other campuses.
The World Student Service Fund
has no overhead and therefore every
donation results in some relief for
the young people. The officials are
paid by an outside organization.

-STUDENT BODY
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1)
The formal motion had been made
by Bernie Bass, it read, "We the
members of the student body here
by overrule the decision of Student
Council of week before' last and
declare Willis Beall eligible to run
for the office of president of the
btudent body." Although most of
,the discussion of'the question had
been completed by this time, further
discussion, frequently interrupted by
the impatient student group, was
allowed.
Ed Cushman made a motion for
amendment to the student body pro
ceedure asking for a secret ballot.
On the floor at the same time was
a suggestion by Beall that those
wishing to vote do so "openly". His
suggestion was passed ,in the form
of a motion by Bernie Bass and the
students were asked to signify their
vote by standing.
Setting a precedent for future
student body meetings, this was the
first under the new constitution. The
efforts of the presiding officer to
preserve order and the delay of ac
tion by interruption of speakers for
both sides promised at times to dis
rupt the gathering entirely.
Both President Blatt and Beall
asked for quiet consideration of both
sides.
Beall closed his remarks in his
petition to the students by saying,
"I am putting my problem in your
hands and hope that you will vote,
