What professional bricklayers ever made walks that lead to formidable buildings of learning so fascinating? What common brick layers ever possessed the skill to lay such figures as the Greek alphabet e No common bricklayers did mis chievously says Dr. Ifavilah Bab cock, head of the University Eng lish department. And they didn'tl The walks are symbols of the spirit of the students, alumni, and friends of Carolina and the strength of character of Dr. Babcock himself. Tired of a messy campus and muddy shoes, Dr. Babcock and Omicron Delta Kappa in 1930 cam paigned for contributions toward a fund for walks at Carolina, since the University had no extra re sources for such a purpose. Receiv ing a ready response they were able to raise $2,200. But that was only the beginning! The students directed by Dr. Bab cock furnished the labor and many became expert bricklayers, rather than journalists or physicists, before the job was completed. "It was our idea to insert the em blems in the walks, except the stu dents put one in honor of me," mod estly states Dr. Babcock. "The Carolina brick walks with their em blens are probably the only ones of their kind in the world!''

"This is good, mind you, but it doesn't have the taste." He set tied comfortably back in his chair and winked at George Wright, first class aircraft man, who also wore the R.A.F. blue. "Shall we tell them our secret, George?" After a lengthy discussion on both the pro and ion side of the situation, it was finally decided that the allies should cooperate in every respect, so the secret was let out of the tea bag. The two flyers arrived in Co lumbia Tuesday to spend their twelve day leave visiting friends on the campus. "We flew from Naussau to Miami and took the bus from there. That ride was a bit cheesev." A translation was called for. "Oh, that means as you Americans would say, rugged. Now that we are here, we like it. Especially the American girls. They're so friendly," Cot terill said. The English like your American soldiers. They're real decent chaps. I've heard they're quite fond of our English girls and beer," smiled George Wright, "Thats a fair swap I'd say."
