BOoste ROTC Rifles Repor A $hows WAVES Wil Be Added To Squac Coptoin Dicks Uses An Ancient Flintrock Gun In important Mptches Lacl' of M4ateril Sends WAVEI To the Firing I4ige. When your reporter interviewe Chief Davis today he found th Chief enthusiastic over the pros pects for the shooting season i '44. The newest note in the lineu: is the use of waves from the off ic to fill in the squad. The Chief ex plained this by adding that th team was short of good shots, an( as several of the girls were marrie< they had lots of experience. Dicks, the captain of this year' team, and veteran of two others was interviewed also as to his ex perience with the guns. le is s local boy from the southern par of the state, who got his start shoot ing squirrels. Dicks was given flintlock by his father when he wa only two years old, and it was witl this arm that he learned to shoot. L is rumoured that he still use the ancient weapon in importan matches. To quote Dicks on hi early training, "If you couldn't hi 4 squirrel in the eye at 5,000 yards folks thought you just naturall: wasn't no good." Another rising member of thi year's team is young Berkhart, th "Tennesse Bullet." When askci gbout the teams prospects this yea the modest little fellow declined tc give a reply. He did say however that in a pinch, he thought he coul< come through for the squad, so al in all the R.O.T.C. should look for ward to a glorious seaspn on th q ange. Maxcy College To Go To Washington Pennell's Collection Will Cover Ruilding Buddy 1 ennell's collection of wa stamps in the Post Office lobby ha grown to such proportion that eage spectators now plan to continue th accumulation to include not onl; the inside of all )iaxcy College, bu also the outside. The only dange in this plan not yet overcome i what would happen to those stamp on the outside in a rainstorm. How ever, Majed Akel, the sponsor of th, new drive, predicts no rain for man: moons to come (when he became a: astrologer, I do not know-nor d< I recommend his statements). HI has calculated the value of the fina collection at $5,942.57. How he ar fives at the seven cents is anyone' ghcss, but he claims it's logic (di you see it, Charlie?) Mr. Akel's plan includes takinj Maxcy college up to WVashington ID. C., to visit Franklin and Eleano when the project is completed, thi date for which he places at th< latest as July 1, 1944 (optimistic isn't he?) Notwithstanding all ob jections to this plan, Majed con tends that he has a magic rug o: which to transport the entire build ing (with all V-5's, V-12's an: B1euy Crews) to WVashington Asked to explain how he arrives a alh these *mighty decisions, Ake bowed his head, (scuffed his feet ii the ooze and slime of the mud 0, the ground, turned red as a beed looked guiltily about him as thougl looking for an avenue of escape, an< finding none, he turned to me looked straight in my eye, and said "It's natural with me, My ancester, were predicting and being burne< *t the stake as long ago as 1800 It's really quite embarrassing sometimes I wish I could just floa away.'' With which, he floate: away. When Majed returns from WVashi 4ington with the presidential citatiol for valorous achievements for thi defense of the nation- and the carry ing of the war to a successful con clusion, Pennell plans to t4ke dow' the stamps, and with the money t< be garnered from their sale, buy trailer to put pn the back of his jalopy and roam the country fo: the next ten or fifteen years, seeini gll the sights pf the nation. Ocoujrse, Pennell hopes that thi students will be freer with theil stamps than )(j.

The blonde fluttered her blue eyes. "Gosh, Annie," she said, "here, you can read some of mine." And she handed Annie three letters. "Ooeh I" breathed Annie, reading, then added as an afterthought, "ahhhhhI" The blonde finished the three lt le-ters she was reading, lay them down and waited on Annie to finish. Annie finished.

Also Offered Precedent-shattering degrees art in the offing, said Dr. W. H. Call cott, registrar, when cornered in th< cobwebs of his office. In the futurt not only will students spend theii time in search of sheepskin A.B.'s M.A.'s, B.S.'s gnd so fo'th, but it addition they may struggle througt the years to attain an M.P.B. M.F.F., or even a D.T. The first niew degree to be of. fered is that of M.P.B., or Mastei of Pin-Ballery. The overwhelmint majority of male students who pur, sued this gnce pleasant pastimt forced the utiversity to add this de. gree, said Dr. Callcott. Knowledge of mathematics in de termining the course of the pin-bal; is absolutely essential. A full under standing of the English language is prerequisite, for an examining com. mittee found many new, and old words forcefully used in constani incantations to the immovable pin. ball machine. The second degree may be con ferred only upon females of the fe. male species. M.F.F. is the acceptec abbreviation of Mistress of Feni nine Flirtation. The degree will bt awarded upon proof of the appli cant's ability to wink surreptitiously to smile discreetly, to make-up witl7 a perfection that will please a male and to tell little white lies with in. finite feminine grace. A marriage license will be accepted as completc fullfillment of all requirements foi this degree. I Last, but not least, is the D.T., o Doctor of Tears. It will requirc powerfully persuasive tears to make the painting of J. Rion McKissic< cry with you. Thus, students are cautioned to avoid the D.T.'s. Pyromaniacol Activities To-B I-.ed By Dean Chase Dean Chase has announced thal he will lead a band of pyromaniac: to the steps of the new library a' six o'clock this afternoon to set the campus on fire. All students are in. vited to witness the- conflagration All participants are advised to bring their own matches. Fishing, he adds, will be best foi the V-5 boys on the patio of Sinm: and Wade Hampton Colleges. Comi and try it. Results are not #uaran teed, however. Oh Equals Zero Interviewed By After an absence of severaJ years the Carolinian is slated to make a comeback here on the campus. Ini a recent session, the Board of Pub lications determined to resume pub lication of the magazine, which is a monthly collection of the best litera ture submitted to the editors by University students. The first issue of the reorganized Carolinian is scheduled to appear in mid-April, with subsequent issues planned for each succeeding month. At first the Carolinian is to be financed by an allotment from the Student Al locations Committee, but an exten sive circulation campaign is to be launched immediately after the ap pe;rance of the first issue, and it is hoped that the success of this drive will defr;y the majority of future Qe ?aa Ik UNIVERSITY GRILL NASTY ODORS AM FOOD - Comp@titors: SHOP~ - PTQMAIN * d in gnything, cent na's X-PIayhoy.

The boat is to be ntated the Roe boat, honoring the dean of the school of engineering. Sometimes We Wonder It w'as an intotTensive bit of note book paper. It never done nobody no harm, not at all.

If it's a male, he'll eat it: and if it's a female, she'll eat it. This heretofore inotfensive scrap of paper was found in the Foul Fowl's office. How it came to be here, we do not profess to .know. We sometimes wonder. Says Jenkins, *Bilgewater expen'es. Named by the Board of P'ublica tions to head the Carolinian this 5e mnester are: H-arry Jenkins, editor; Elizabeth George and Betty Kin ard, poetry editors; Jean Sims, essay and reviewv editor; Ernest Stokes, fiction editor; and George Delay, business manager. F,dith Adams, Ruth Blundrick, Jeannette Hiolley, Mary Kane, and John Reese coin plete the staff. Contributions in any field of lit erary endeavor by any student will be welcomed by the editors. They may be addressed to thc Carolinian and deposited in the campus mail box in the postoffice. The editors promise to give every offering due consideration before selecting the best work of the month. dorn iD GREASY E TAVERN act "JOE"- 2 lender - *emmasse..-.---m New Li At Sundown" Story Class STORY Jr. l lavilah I{tahbuck. in utonunenting is short story writing (la-s last week. w%ith oult parallel," he ifurthierI comu > 'TIhe bh11:hin11g. eca,i%ae author when tilltfrntedl ht a ('amc c.ck repourter. n%h u lumle hlnt dangling rtIn the tu' If ti 4.camnl,s flag llle. tinally adlinitted: "Shaw, twe"ren't nothin' After -lidilng hiwn tih 'lt . the author yielded to the reporter's gentle, p,ersna,ive ba,eball bat and consentedi too submit his monster piece to t he Fil I-owl for plublica tiun.
