We'll namc a few of them here and hope that you who are looking for something to resolve can find some helpful suggestions. You civilian students may like this one. Have you been to breakfast every morning during the past year? It's really the best way to start off the day. Besides being extremely good for you, it does away with that "hungry feeling'' and puts you in a much better humor. We students as a group could make a great many improvements among ourselhes. Speak ing to everyone on the campus \ ith a friendly smile would be far better than passing theum with a frozen stare. Everyone could also par ticipate more freely in student activities. We who have meetings to attend could re solve, above all, to attend-and he on timiet. Each of us on the campus has a iob to dki. However small that job .inay be. a good project for 1944 would be the carrying out of that job with more deterinination than ever before. The Gamecock will try to carry out, a few resolutions itself. WN'e shall try to give you the news you want wlieu you want it. If it's 'personalities in the news" that has a par ticular appeal to you, that's what we shall try to bring you. Last, but not least. you should all restlu to put all your efforts towards nuakiiig (artt lina bigger and better. \Witlut your support the spirit of your school w\ill be iothing bt sonething of yesterday. Eatlh and everyone can begin today by iuakiiig il-l1 the best tear ever for our university.

In the past years it hias also worked with students in high scholjOs. As an organization, this committee stand.h beside the leading service organizations on thi campus. Its wvork is always well done. We hope that you who were ini the dark are niow clear on this one subject at least. As a purely personal comment, we would like to say that this committee seems to be the most worth while on the campus.

Statistics show that moLe students have left the campus for week-end trips in the past year than ever before. This, of course applies more to civilian students than those under super vision of the Navy. It seems rather ironical that this year, of all, should be chosen for the great immigration to other parts on the week-ends. For, on all sides radios, magazines, posters, beg civilians to stay home unless absolutely necessary to do other wise. The trains and busses are loaded with service mci on furlough or trying to reach camp on tine. You who travel know for your selves the condition of transportation. Mother and father sent you to school to study, not to get a front row view of every state in tle union. If you do nothing else t'ward the winning of the war, let this be it. The trains have more than they can handle taking I toopis from one part of the country lo I he t iher. And, tie saddest fact of all is I hat you1 woli) travel needlessly are depriving soee service min of his only chance to get Stay at arolina for a while.

Circulation Manager................Corliste Kearse Assistant Circulation Manager.......Buddy Black Chicken Feed' By KATHERINE JENNINGS Happy New Year Ah, back to school; and now we'll have time to 'catch up on all the sleeping we forgot to do during the holidays. Oh yes, plenty of time. (I'm sure I'm not fooling a soul but myself 1) Everything has sho' been looking deserted the last few days, even the boys who constantly play football in the middle of the campus are conspicuously not there. Must be that every body who could scrape up some cuts is taking a final fling before the rest of this long, hard winter. Novelty One of the most surprising presents received this Christmas was a gorgeous red Le, sent to V-12 Jack Hubert by a doting aunt. Guess she thought it would be just'the thing to brighten up that smart dark-blue sailor suit. Rival to Frankenstein Just' to start the New Year with a bang, Meta Boykin gave the Simsites the scare of their sweet young lives tile other night. Wearing a long black cloak, and terrifyingly realistic flesh. ' colored rubber mask, with the face of an old man, this practi cal jokester crept quitely from door to door. In answer to her knocks came shrieks, slammed doors, and truly surprising ex elamations. But "Pete" was more frightened than her victim, when one fainthearted babe took one glance, threw her hands above her head, and slid tq the floor with a low, gentle moan. In Memory of Mid-Semesters I put my trust and faith in you, - I thought I could rely, But now I'm disillusioned I wish that I might die. I made you my ideal, you see; And so I copied you, I should have copied someone else, 'Cause now I'm flunking, too. A Loaf of Bread, etc. Since food is what we're all thinking about, I might as well write about it.. The Wade Hampton cafeteria is always good for a laugh, if you're not too ravenous to notice. One girl swears that the attendant asked her if she wanted arsenic and parrot, but I'm sure she really said oysters and carrots. The height of efficiency was displayed the other morning when one foggy coed, in answer to the red, white and blue sign begging one to take only the food that one wants, told the management that she wanted scrambled eggs. Scrambled eggs were most definitely not on the menu that day, but the obliging attendant took time off to scramble some eggs to perfection. o Tomorrow I'm gonna tactfully mention that I simply adore steaks, medium-rare. Science Science Prof.: What happens when a body is immlnersed in water? Student: The telephone rinIgs. On The Beam Mani, I'In really right there! Whelmn I wrote miy last column, efficiently ahead of time as always, the heat was beating down and a gentle zepher was playinig among the sunbeams. By way of novelty, I wisely predicted snow, and by the time the paper came out thle white stuff was inches deep. So if you want some pull withm the weather-man, just cross my palm with a little silver. ContributionA Once again my slightest wishl is gratified, and here is a bit of a poetic contribution fronm izzie Wilson, an alumna. The thought is deep, and a trifle complicated. IIere 'tis: I ate a piece of chicken; Of course the thing was dead, I even saved the feathers For a pillow on my bed. I used the bones for witchcraft, As did I do the feet And dare a ghost to appear in Mahatma Ghandi's sheet. Dlaffinitions Intoxicated is to ,,eel sophisticated and not be able to pro nounce it. Those who' go to college and never get out are called pro- * lessors. Tact A certain salesman was proposing to his girl. "And, sweet, heart," he finished, "1'll lay my whole fortune at your feet." "It isn't a very big fortune,'' she reminded him. "1 know, (lear," he replied, ''but it will look awfullybi beside your little feet." Only Asking A small boy came hurriedly down the street, and halted breathlessly in front of a stranger who was walking in the same direction. "Have you lost a half dollar?" he asked. ~"Yes, yee, I believe I hlave", saidl the stranger, feeling in his pockets. "Have you found one?" "Oh, no," said the boy.
