With Apologies We Spend A Hai Lana: But darling, I love you so. It was a beautiful, cool Saturday. From our lonely window we could see smiling sailors in gleaming whites and bright laughing girls tripping blithely across the campus, pleasure-bound. It was a (lay for happiness. Nature had mustered every one of her myriad charms with the obvious intent of appealing to man's gayer emotions. But it was all just salt in our wounds. We were restricted. We cursed the sun, the laughing girls. the gleaming sailors and the serene weather. We cursed the officer-of the-deck, and all mates-of-the-deck, irregardless of guilt or innocence. To put the thing briefly, we cursed impartially and promiscuously. Then a sudden flash of ration alism burst up on our tortured mind; its brilliance and strength driving out the nasty words and bad thoughts of a second ago. Here was a chance to try a little applied psychology! "Ahaa," we mur mured contentedly, somewhat in the manner of a Carnation cow, who is both surprised and pleased at her cleverness in bit ing a particularly luscious blade of grass. The idea was, of course, to assume a manner of felicity, and think felicitous thoughts. If we remembered our Psych. 1 cor rectly, the result would be a change in mood from one of bleak frustration to joy. Why, if our thoughts were felicitous enough we would probably be positively beatific. So we sat on the bed, smiled our most dazzling smile, and be gan to do, mentally of course, important and wonderful things. The first happy thoughts went somewhat like this: Us: No, Lana, I will not.

When two consciousnesses come to a certain nearness, the im petuosity of their interactions leads on. on, on, to an inescapable cli max." (Philosophic pause). We have passed that climax, and our re lationship must perish. Lana: (Drinking iodine) I cannot live without you. Us: Mon Dieu! In iodine veritas. Feeling very satisfactory per sonal reations to the above dia logue, we adjourned to our desk, light an imaginary Corona Per fecto with a very imaginary twenty dollar bill, and answered an imaginary telephone. Miss Jones: Sir, John D. Rockefeller has been waiting three hours to see you. He says millions are involved in an im mediate decision on your part. Us (phlegmatically): Faugh.

New Field For YWCA; To Visit Boys Infirmary The Campus Service Committee of the Young Women's Christian Association has taken over a new field of work. Formerly they only visited the girls' infirmary, taking magazines and flowers to the sick. Now they will carry their work to the boys' in firnary. Charlotte Tuten and Elizabeth Gibert are co chairmen of the committee. All girls interested in this committee are urged to speak to the chairman. The Freshman YVCA. headed by president Zoa Wade. has started a new project.

F.D.R.: Larry, this Madeira is a most excellent vintage. Us: Yes, Frank, it is rather pal atable. One of my men in Madrid, by an admirable coup de maitre, procured it from the roval cellars. It requlired a bribe of fifty thousand, tit coute que coute, I must have my \I adeira. F.D.R.: ila. ha! I think I've got you. I knock with four. Us: No good Frank.

And tell Winnie to send me a few more boxes of those cigars. I'm all out. Us: (modestly). Pshaw! That was nothing Frank. (Drawing a card). Trouvaille! The cased king and a rummy!

An ob servant student spotted the smoke and remembering the adage, "Where there's smoke-" he quickly sum moned the fire department. By now students were milling about in growing numbers as the smoke leaped higher and higher over the roof of the V-12 barracks. A moment later fire engines ca reened onto the scene. First came the crimson automobile of the chief followed by four thundering trucks. They halted at the front of the building which by now was covered by a darkened pall. Firemen, dressed to ward off the heat of the conflagration, piled from the engine. Sonic grasped ladders while others carried axes to smash their way to the blaze. A few were feebly equipped with only hand ex tinguishers to combat the fury of what now appeared to be an uncom batable fire. Within a matter of minutes stu dents had observed the column of black from all parts of the campus and were converging on the scene. Even Dr. McKissick had been roused, and soon the "Colonel" raced across the campus. The dauntless firemen were not to be stopped by the hazards of such a blazc, however, and soon they crept up closer and closer to the licking flames. The unremitting courage of the firemen doubtlessly saved the day, for soon the blaze was squelched. and only smouldering ashes attested to the terrifying fact that the trash container back of the building might have gone up in flames.

At this meeting an annotuncement was made coneerning the Blue Key campus directory. As it will take approximately five weeks to publish the directory, and as the semester ends soon thereafter, it was decidtd not to prepare a summer edition. During the rest of the semester work will be done so the directory can come out at the beginning of 9 the fall semester. As 600 new boys are expected in November, a sum mer issue would he stale material for them. A current project of this organi zation is a plaque containing the names of all Carolina alumni killed during the war. This will be placed in the new library. -Happy Hour (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) Packin' Momma". Zoa Wade from Hawaii, played several numbers on her Hawaiin guitat.
