BY TINA CANNON
There may be no gas for long
rides in the country; there may be
fewer trips to the beaches, and
lake and mountains; there may be
fewer bovs in loud clothes for co
eds to smile at; there may be
exams; there may be a war. But:.
The azealeas are in bloom; the
campus is green after a long dreary
winter grey; classrooms are warm
and humid; professors' voices sound
like the drone of sleepy bees; stu
dents wriggle, and turn pages nois
ily; class over, there are dozens of
loungers swapping stories, and
speculating on the outcome of poli
ties; the area around the ODK sun
dial voting circle looks empty and
waiting for the swarms of voters,
left arms are sore from typhoid
shots; clothes are lighter, gayer
La, spring has coene to Carolina.
No longer (10 eager industrious
students cram the library to burst

situate themselves on top of the
radliators to keel) warm, andl no
longer do they threaten apoplectic
rages when the hot water in the
showvers really turns out to be
frigid.
Thoughts turn to visions of blue
skies, blazing sunshine, velvety
grass. Classes prove somewhat
soporific. Plans begin for souse
p)arties at beaches. Self-conscious
co-eds p)aradle p)ast the pIre-flight

Campus Drive Nets
$350.00 For WSSF
Did Not Reach Goal Set
At Beginning Of Drive
The campus drive for the World
Student Service Fund, which ended
yesterday, netted $350 in pledges and
cash, R. G. Bell, YMCA secretary
announced. Of this sum, $243.10 has
been collected, the other pledged.
According to a statement from
Bell at the beginning of the drive,
the goal hoped for was $500 or more.
The drive is an annual affair, put
on jointly by the YMCA and YW
CA. Its chairmen this year were:
L.eone Strickland from the YWCA
and Alva Lumpkin from the YMCA.
"The money collected during the
drive will be employed in an inter
national program to aid war prisoners,
Chinese students, and other causes
which, without the help of the Ameri
can student group would go unaided,"
Mr. Bell said.
The fund was conducted by stu
dent volunteer pledges.

to handle various functions of the
annual Yi-YW retreat, to be held
here April 9, 10, and 11 were ap
pointed by Ken Salleiger, president
of the retreat, at the Y. M. C. A.
cabinet luncheon last Friday.

of the recreation committee, and
Bill Hunley will plan a picnic for

meetings will be held in Flinn Hall,
however, the sunrise service, Satur

held in the Arboretum behind Sinis
Hall, and the church service Sun
day, will be held in the University
Chapel.
Although the retreat is usually
held at Camp Long, and was sched
