Free Lunch for Workers At noon sharp, all will assemble on the main campus for a free lunch. All. according to Miss Flinn, means all who have worked. Stu CampusTuesda) SouthernYMCA SecretaryVisits Henry Ware Speaks To Joint Meeting Of YM, YW Leaders Visiting the 'niversity Y.\ICA Tuesday was Henry Ware, secre tary of the southern regional staff of the association. Ware' met with the individual members of the local Y cabinet to discuss their respective jobs. and to help them plan in what wave thev could tie in their duties with the national association program. At a joint meeting of the YWCA YNfCA cabinets for luncheon, \\are spoke to the group abont the new emiphasis being pushed this spring by tile national associations-that of cooperating in every way pos sible to aid in the religions life of the military contingents, stationed Oil college cal)lses. \Vare also uri:ed the students to remember their two-iold part in be ing responsible Y members. He said, "We must keep our eyes oil what we are doing and work like the mischief for victory. This is the near vision. Bit we must also have the far vision. We must look ahead at tihe problems that will come."' In speaking of the cooperation bet ween regular students. anld mili tary contingents, W\are compli mlented the I'niv ereite hovys for the result of the recetnt mleeting held at which pre-tlighiter., and regtular stu dents pledged cooperation. "This is just what we are working for,'' the secretarv said. While here, Ware alto helped in the planning of the tri-state conl ference to he held the tirst week in June, at BIon C'larken, N. C. ted Gamec Craig, Freeman Are Managing Editors The board also made a provision, that if any of the naval contingents which will be on the campuits during the summer semester wished to pay the student fee entitling thlem to thle Gamecock, an associate editor was to be elected to handle news from that group. The usual staff setup, of one edl Itor, and oneC managing editor, was changed this time by the staff, for two reasons, according to a letter sent to the board of publications, from the editor; one, the overload ing of work many students are carrying would make it impossible for two to do the work; two, be catise none of the new editors have been on the Gamecock staff for more thana a year, kt was thought lean Will Follow anup, 12:30 ;eball Game stivities End Day dent captains in all dormitories, teieients and classroom buildings were given, this niorning, along with their cleaning supplies, a cer tain number of tickets to the lunch. Only those qualified by work would be i"lued tickets, she "aid. After otile lunch, which is being prepared by a commn-ittee under the chairmanship of Anne Royale, Dean Hugh Bradley and Dr. E. C. Coker vill lead the group in singing. Unique Feature One unique feature of the day, suggested by Dr. Havilah Babcock, and taken up gleefully by the stu dents. was that on this day. all stu dents will have the privilege of calling professors by their first names. This means that for those who take advantage of the oppor tunity. instead of President McKis. sick it will be J. Rion; instead of Deat Chase. it will be John A. The faculty members were told of this suggestion at a rerent mopt. ing, and according to Miss Flinn, the suggestion was answered only by chuckles and laughter. So, she said, the committee took this as a sign of acceptance, and gave the students a go-ahead signal. "Howy ever, 'she warned.' those who have their forbidding professors, should take the liberty only at their own discretion.* Baseball Match Main feature of the early after noon will- be th. haseball match be tween "The Colonel's Lady's Ladies", and "Babcock's Battling Beauties." The Ladies will be com posed of female members of the faculty, and faculty wives, and ac cording to Jane Brooks Marshall, chairman of the recreation commit tee will wear slacks. The team is being coached by Dean Arnie R. Childs. and Mrs. J. Rion McKis sick. The beauties will be made up entirely of co-eds, who according to Miss 'Marshall, will be dressed in shorts. The co-eds nine is un der direction of Dr. Babcock. At -1:15, the crowd wvill gather on the main camlpus again, to ,ee the NR(TC unit drill. A special Ki wanis club medal will be presented during the drill. A picture of the special drill platoon appears in this issue. May Queen Coronation Culmination of the day's program will be the coronation of the May Queen, Miss Nora Alice Walsh, of Reatufoi t. President MecKissick wsill crows n the quIeen, after a large group of attending maids in pastel dresses have formed the semi-circle around her. The planners have almost dis, counted the problem of rain, assert ing that ''nothing that bad could happen", but they' announced that in cake it did, both the Itunch and the coronation will take place in the field houmse.
