Some of the more persevering ones are reportel to have haunted the lo cal hardware stores in search of tents, cots, and mosquito netting. Others are said to have turned into real estate agents, selling sites on ye olde campus, for a reasonable price, that makes ideai locations for weary students to pitch their tents. One student, guzzling a "dope" in the canteen, was overheard saying that if he could find a partner, who had a little ready cash, lie would buy, a vacant lot near the campus and use it as a trailer park. The trailers will be enjoyed more by the stay at home type and the tents for the roaming and nature loving le-man. The healthy students are thinking about sleeping on the ground under the trees. Thmis will work in sum muer but they' may have trouble with icicles next wm'uter.

Gremlins Pester Newspapers As Well As Fliers From Ite New York Herald Tribune For the millions who are slightly pixy-minded, the discovery of the gremlins, those devilish little sprites who mess things up for the fliers of the royal air force, has provided one of the major excitements of the war. Come to think of it, it is as easy to believe in gremlins as in banshees and leprechauns or in aniy of the crea tures that dlance across the pages of that line Irish writer, Mr. James S tepheni s. Butt gremlins were not enough. The alert though somietimies exasperating mindts that conduct the radio indus try hiave come forward with their set of cute little people. Thelise are cal led grohmns. One type of grohm, the slohnik, "lotuses tip" the copy of script wsriters; another, the haffnix, tlattenis the hines of comedians ;still anothe r, the foobus, miakes noises in microphones. This, also, is an in teresting discovery, sure to provide much merriment among the people of radio, to whomt laughter comes rather easily. Itut why the excitement ? Journal ism itsel f has lonug had its own set of little rascals who for generations have niessedh up one thing or another. Various phenomena observed in newspaper otfices leads to the in escapable conclusion that journa lismu is hatuntedl by pernicious a set ot strange folk as ever harassed an airpllanie pilot or made life in a radlio studhio miserable.

Those reasons are, she pointed out, to swell the ranks of professionally trained people during the post-war period and to enable the leaders of the next generation to understand the cultural heritage of the past. These, she said, "are the tools for creat ing new cultural heritage." We (it) n,)t realize how few people are college trained, she said. In 1940 10 per cent of the ien and women 18 years of age and over had spent one year in college; of these, three per cent had graduated. The profession one chooses does not indicate one's worth in the world, according to Miss Babcock "That depends on hozw you do it," she in sisted. She outlined six general needs which professional people can fulfill to advantage. " We need teachers, journalists, radio writers and commentators to impart information correctly," she said. "We need physicians, dentists, psychiatrists, to prevent and re lieve suffering. "We need to be governed justly and wisely through people trained to take elective and civil service posi tions. We need labor leaders, and agricultural workers to produce and distribute the essentials of life," Miss Babcock continued. "If we can burn gas and make things cold, why can't we stop war?" she asked in urging college students to become more interested in social engineering. Ve need people trained to discover scientific truth in the psychological and social sciences as well as in biology and chemistry, she "Why does man live?" "What values make life significant?" We need teachers, artists, authors, poets and religious workers to discover the meaning of life and impart it to others," she said. "You cannot separate the home and the community," she advised. Form erly, she said, a woman's job was to build security in tile home. Today, her work has gone out of the home; she must (10 it on a connunity-wide basis. THE CAROLINA LIFE INSURANCE CO.
