Eight Top-Ranking
NationaL Scholastic P
Publication; Annual Ha
All-American honors were again aN
versity annual by the National Schob
Only eight annuals in the nation i
1942 is the third successive year tha
for the position.
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.

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.

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

1941-42 has brought the library's
total to nearly 7oo,ooo volumes.

Paul's opinions on good Ameri
:an customs and people were hu
morous. 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.

lals Request
tudent Calls
Fair Week Curtailment
Especially Emphasized
University students can help whip
Hitler, Hirohito and Company just by
reducing the number and length of
their telephone calls.
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.
