A. Hall, organizer and commandant of a Carolina's Naval ROTC. If the English lan guage lacks any one thing, that is a new word to express appreciation.

This is a farewell with thanks for a job well done. c( Our loss, Annapolis, your gain. la n ALL AIN'T HOPELESS Boys, Don Law and news service director 21 Frank Wardlaw made it ... so all ain't hope less.

If the plan succeeds we wi iot only meet the extra physical fitness requir nents necessary for the war, but we will hal ,one a long way toward correcting one ( he greatest weaknesses in Carolina's studei ithletic set-up. 3ET out on Melton field or in the gym at mo: Iny intramural game or physical ed. clas IOU will see visual evidence of a situation thE kis long been a daily complaint of student 1quipment for intra-murals and physical e< ias been woefully lacking or in ill repair, ou otal athletic resource turned to the majo ports. In all justice to Coach Enright and his staf t it be said that the Athletic Association i ighting along under a heavy debt load . . id must produce a winning football team c Ise. But it is hard to convince a student wh ays his good money to activities fees, equir: ient fees, University canteen and bookstore hen sees stands full of paying spectators a ames-that there is no money for equipmeni qEW equipment will be harder than ever to ge ow, and if there ever was adequate excusi )r the poor student athletic situation, the wai ill provide it. But that Coach Enrigh iould have to provide an excuse is an injus ce both to himself and to the student t< horn it is offered. The weakness of the situation is not only iA ie program itself, but in the actual athleti< -ganization. If the average Carolina ed oi )-ed had implicit faith that his athletic dol .r was going toward what is best for his owr elfare, then he wouldn't squawk if the intra urals and minor sports suffered even mor( Lan they do. Alu'CI iE may be built by merely stepping up the gyr rogram for all students, as is done under thi w plan. But the belief of the."men anc omen of Carolina" in Carolina will never b( iilt ump until they are taken into the confi. mece of the athletic director and the situatior .lked over straight from the shoulder. Granted that we would give our shirts t< e Carolina take Clemson at the state fair ime, we would still like to be sure that ouw irts are needed before they are taken. Th< ar cry of the whole athletic group, since in~ debtedness was announced to the publi< ur years ago, has been "we have no money .' (with which to take care of minor sports tra-murals, physical education classes). IT SAYS H E RE-' is the usual comment of the average Caro ia student because he has not been giver iough real information to be0 in symnpathy ith the group who must handle the ticklisl hjletic situation. And because University of ials have not given him facts, to throw baca those who hint that something is rotten ir SC's woodpile. In short . .. The Gamecock advocates a neii ogramn of taking the students into confidenc4 >ncerning the school's problems, so that we'l: ive solid confidence in those directing omi rorts . . . even if we do have to go withoui w equipment. In shorts . . . let's get out and work hard get in shape to win our fight against de ocracy's enemies. And in passing, shake hands with Coacia aright for realizing that the students o1 BC must eventually come first in athletici well as in academic life.

S t AC P's Jay Richter Reports from Washington JOBS Washington-(ACP)-The pressure of war has prompted the Fed eral Civil Service Commission to offer its "Junior Professional Assistant" examination to college people for the second time this year. In previous years it has been offered only once-in January. Also for the first time, it is open to every college senior or graduate, regardless of his major. Each applicant will take the same two-hour examination, designed to test his general knowledge and adaptability. Openings exist in Washington and in "the field." The jobs will pay $2,000 unless you indicate willingness to take less L ($1,440, $1,620 or $1,800). Especially sought are those interested in pub lic administration, business analysis, economics, home economics, library science and mathematics. Get blanks and details at the postoffice or Civil Service District office. Closing date for filing is April 27. College students with architectural training are needed by the govern ........."runior Architect" jobs paying $2,000. Seniors may apply. No written test is given. The Civil Service blank to ask for is "Architect, $2,000 to $3,200 a year." * * * * WAR More than 3,000,000 workers have beena trained by the Nation's schools in special technical lines to serve the armed forces and war industries. Since the report two weeks ago that 9,500 of Norway's 10,500 teachers had resigned in protest against Nazification~ of the Norse schools, 2,000 Norwegian schoolmasters have been arrested by the Nazis. Almost all Norwegian schools are closed. * * * * NYA Student self-help under NYA may become a wvar casualty unless it can prove itself a war-itme necesasity. When the President asks Congress soon for funds to operate NYA and CCC during the coming fiscal year, he will probably suggest that the wvar functions of the two agencies be merged, and that their peace time functions be scrapped. NYA Director Aubrey Williams, as well as several educators, has done a good job of defending NYA before members of the Senate Edu cation committee. He told them that (a) most of the machine tools in NYA training shops were obtained before priorities went into effect, and (b) that a month before the general newspaper attack against NYA started the agency had begun inventory of its shops for machine tools that might bc turned over to war industries. Letters To The Editor Dear Editor: O ore enifre I have just heard of the new rul-oftelarnviainsfthod ing by the University authorities thatruedin latsmtr.Ises a student will be charged one dollar t e oee,ta nefcnl for having a bed put in his room for fntoig Mrhlsofc ol a night. hv lae i hsstaini This is certainly not a good ad vertisement for our University.

By JIMMIE HILL NUTS TO Those blasted back-stabbers who persisted in running up to me all during the past week and telling me how good my column was last issue. Can I help it if the editor makes the mistake of letting lovely fems write this space filler in the absence of the regular typewriter banger. Yes . . . Yes . . they did a good job, but the next one that comes through that door to tell me about it gets this typewriter crammed lown his throat by way of reply.. CENSOR DUTY I visited the offices of the Winthrop "Johnsonian" while I was up that way last week, and was received very cordially . . thanx. Got to talking to the girls there about the fued that paper has been carrying :n with Judson Chapin of .the Clemson "Tiger" (whatever that is). It seems that Chapin insisted that the "Johnsonian was a censored news paper. I talked the matter over with several of the girls on the staff, and also the faculty member who supervises everything that is done in connection with the paper, and they didn't seem to think there was a thing to his accusations. AND WHILE I'm on that subject, I'll throw out a personal bouquet to Dr. Warren Keith of Winthrop for sponsoring the forensic contests that have been practically the last haven for public speaking in this section. And while, I'm on that subject, I'd like to make nasty remarks and all that about the narrow minded bunch that have decided to do away with these events from now on. I don't know what attitude they have taken concerning any evil effects that might evolve from these contests. Whatever atti tude it is-it stinks! GETTING BACK To Carolina for a while, one notices that the grass is all green, and the trees are all ditto. This is very interesting. It seems to indicate that spring has definitely made its arrival. Co-eds and Eds are populating the campus. Eds are telling Co-eds to help them find a four-leaf clover. A petition has been handed in asking Dr. Coker to clear the campus of four-leaf clovers. Then it would take longer to find them. Smart Ed. AND FURTHERMORE Improvements have been made on the antique buildings here and there. Several of the "historical" buildings have new bath equipment. Just in time for one's spring bath. DeSausaue classrooms have new ceilings. What a pity. This takes all the thrill out of attending classes there. One need no longer sit and wonder if the plaster is falling down on his cranium. One can only sit and listen to a lecture. Professor Waterfall says he won't need a G.I. tin hat. He is also afraid that his Red Cross courses won't be needed for crushed craniums in Economics 42. "Several", he comments, "seem aiready crubijeu. A FLAGPOLE is going up near the old library. We will be proud to display our countries colors. They should be very inspiring. When they go up, one will begin conjecturing. Perhaps if we are required to take about a dozen gym classes, we will be awarded the Navy "E" for Efficiency. Wouldn't that be just dandy? IN MEMORIAM To the Varsity Show that was-to be. It has gone. It died because the students at Carolina didn't give a barrier-to-hold-back-a-river This is the attitude most students here assume. It is the reason this column is so filled with tripe. Nobody cares to do anything. The campus is There once was a time when things happened. Professors who seem to frown on mischief will tell yuwth a gla-nter y ftig that used to happen here. yowi1agemnthreeofhns dBut the Caroliniain on today is in a mental lethargy. He is lack adasical. He is a droop. Surely there must be something more in teresting to do than to plod to classes for a few hours, then plod back to one's room and flop in a chair. Why don't we wake up? Why don't we do anything? Right or wrong, for heaven's sake, lets do something. MUSCIN' IN With ED PATTERSON ( Editor's Note : Patterson has declined the honor of scribbling this hash this week again, so two dark horses have colaborated to turn out what's below.)
