Daniel Leonidas Gibbes, Jr. was, editor and Henry Heriot was business manager. Gibbes, who is now wait ing to be called to the navy, was on the campus when the distinction con ferred on the annual was announced. The "honor roll of distinction" of the NSPA is the top honor which can be given by that organization. Garnet and Black All-American honors began in 1940 under the ed itorship of the late Hubert Harmon ahd the business managership of Mac Singletary. In 1941, the annual was also rated All-American. Paul Sansbury was editor and James Howe was business manager. Last year, another South Carolina college also won the honor. The Clemson College Taps was rated All-American at that time, but no information on their rating for this year annual is available now. Forty-four years has been the life span of the Garnet and Black. It was first published by the student body in 1898, preceding the other college publication by ten years. The Game cock was founded in 1908. "Added to the usual difficulties from a carefree student body, un available photographers and uncer tain staff cooperation, were the in terference of priorities with engrav ers' materials this year," is the an nual's own interpretation of the '42 struggle. Due to these facts, the book was late in publication, reaching the stu dents after school had closed. Panel pictures were used only in the class and social sections and every effort was made to make the book more informal. Aside from regular features of other years, a sixteen page feature and a nine page Naval ROTC section was added, a com pleteYy informal faculty section in clucrd.

IY CLASS YEAR N RINGS )nors A Babcock Says Most Students To Be In War In Six Months Women Will Have Even More Important Roles In Defense Employment "Within six months, the majority of University students will prob ably be in the armed forces or drafted for defense work," ]Dr. Havilah Babcock, head of the Eng lish department at the University, told a group of his students this week. "The bill calling for eighteen and nineteen year oldsters to be in cluded in the draft will probably pass congress this week," he con tinued, "and that will take away from the universities all boys not studying essential subjects, and maybe those in the reserve corps. "President Roosevelt said last week that we must soon match England in the percentage of women workers-and over there it is about 88 per cent. This will take a lot of University coeds as well. "My advice to you is this: first, decide in what field you are most proficient, and then perfect your self in that work. Second, go into that work before you are drafted into some work you may not like. "Another important thing for stu dents to remember is that the bet ter marks you make in school the better chance you will have for a good position in the armed forces. I have received numerous letters from boys asking for help in Eng lish, so that they could be advanced. One University alumnus, now in the Solomon Islands, is taking a course by correspondence. "To meet these great changes, I advocate a school setup where ef fort is the determining factor, not time. Students should be allowed to take exams, and get credit for courses when they have learned the required material, regardless of the time spent in classroom." McKissick Suspends Fee For Guest Beds By order of President J. Rion Mc KisCk t Unier;t reglton re quiring payment of a dollar a night for guest beds was suspended for the week of October 19-25 to allowv visit ing Clemson cadets and friends of students to stay on the campus with out the customary fee. Beds for guests may be obtained by students by requesting them at hte office of Marshall Ottis F. Kelly. Mr. Kelly has requested that all requests be submitted by the day before they are needed so that his staff will have sufficient time to install beds. The one dollar charge for guest beds was put into effect last semester to prevent abuse of the privilege. Previously, students could obtain beds for a minimum time of three days by submitting a written request to the marshall's office giving the name of the expected guest. W. M.

Young Frenchman E4 Hopes To Return W Personnel Bureau Aids Patriot With Testings Escaped from under the Nazis' hands to flee to America in order to join the U. S. Army Air Corps! That is the thrilling story of Paul X, young French boy now sta tioned at the Columbia Air Base. Although he knew not one word of English when he arrived in this "land of the free and home of the brave," now, one year later, he speaks it so well that one would never guess lie hadn't been here for years. Paul studied at night school in Charleston for four months, and there learned most of the English he knows. But Paul is not satisfied with his present edicational or military rating. ie wants to advance so that he may become an air cadet, and return to his native France to bomb the invaders who have set themselves up there. Certain tests must be passed satisfactorily before men can be accepted into the Air Corps, and to establish 'Paul's edu cational status, he was referred to the University of South Carolina Personnel bureau. He is now taking a series of apti tude and placement tests to de termine whether or not the school ing he received in France is equiva lent to the Air Corps educational requirements. Paul has been in the Air Corps since January of this year, being stationed at Morris Field in Char lotte, N. C., as mechanic, and later transferred to the Columbia Army Air Base. lie served in the French Air Corps, also as mechanic, from 1936 until the fall of France in 1940. When the Nazi government took over France, Paul escaped to Spain, Portugal, South America, and then to the United States. When asked what he liked most about America, Paul immediately replied, "Why, the freedom, of course." Because his family is still in oc cupied France, somewhere in the Parisian area, Paul was reluctant to talk very much for the newspapers for fear German spies would read what he had said and torture his family. We gently but firmly re fused to tell his surname, answering questions smilingly, with only "My name is Paul." Hie admitted mod estly that many reporters had in terviewed him in Charlotte for the Charlotte papers, and also the Addition of 34,0o0 volumes to the University of Texas library during 1941-42 has brought the library's total to nearly 7oo,ooo volumes.

He never goes to our movies, lie says, mostly because lie doesn't have the time. His du ties at the Air Base keep him busy. His opinion of jitterbugging is not to be printed, but he did laughing ly admit that he would never at tempt to learn how. American girls, 'Paul states, are so different from French girls that they cannot be compared. They are very much more expensive, he admits. They are much more ac tive than French girls, too. French girls, lie says, stay at home and American girls don't As for dress ing, they are about the same, al though American girls go in more for sports clothes. Paul smiled goodbye when he was called to take another test. Our sincerest good wishes went with him as lie left, that he shall realize his eager ambition of learning how to fly in America so that he may go back to France to bomb the Nazis from whom lie escaped.

This was revealed today by W. G. Edwards, Columbia manager of Southern Bell Telephone and Tele graph Company, who asks students to join other civilians in reducing their calls. Specifically, everyone 4 is requested to reduce his local (with in-the-city) calls by at least one-third and not to use long distance unless there is an emergency. The request carries especial time liness in view of the activities of Fair Week, which ordinarily is ac companied by a heavy volume of stu dent calls in connection with social and other activities which are spurred by the fair. If the usual volume of calls develop this year, there would be serious danger to the war effort because vital war calls might run into costly delaps, according to Mr. Edwards. He said it would be extremely helpful to the war effort in the im portant Columbia area if students would omit entirely the telephone * calls which are not essential and would be as brief as possible on the essential calls. In making this request, the tele phone company merely is asking of students what they are requesting of the public all over the United States in order that war calls may get quick est possible service. "This matter is extremely impor tant to every civilian in America, but it naturally is doubly important to all of us in a place like Columbia where there is so much military activity and such a heavy volume of vital war calls that must go through rapidly.
