"USS Shut-Eye" McConaughty Opens At USC To TecHr UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA CROWING FOR A GREATER CAROLINA Z676 Volume XXXVIII, No. 4 COLUMBIA, SOUTH C&RIOLINA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 25 1944 ponn e Unive University 1 Weekending "USSShut-eye" Opens Sept. 1 a Approximately 150 servicemen from stations more than 15 miles from Columbia will be given sleep ing quarters at the University on Saturday nights, beginning Sept. 1. - They will be housed in Coker and Thornwell Colleges in September and October and thereafter on the second and third floors of Maxcy College. This project, known as the "N.S.S. Shut-Eye", was devised by and is operated by the Col'nbia Navy Mothers Club. It has been housed in the Columbia High School gymnasium, but will have to move early next month. The purpose of the project is to provide for soldiers, sailors and ma rines who cannot find sleeping quarters elsewhere on Saturday nights. The servicemen pay 50 cents for the iiighi's iudging and breakfaal. This represents actual costs. The University makes no charge, but contributes its part in grateful recognition of the service of these men in the nation's defense. 'Breakfast for them will be served in Flinn Hall by the Red Cross can teen corps. The servicemen will conic to the campus not earlier than 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon and will check out by 11 Sunday morning. The Navy Mothers Club will have charge of registration and manage ment. M. P.'s will be on duty at the dormitories used. Double-deck beds, mattresses, bed linen and towels are supplied by the club. The Hoard of Trustees of the University has given special permis sion for the transfer of the 'U.S.S. Shut-Eye" to the campus. Mrs. '. H. Leonard, commander of the Navy Mothers Club and mother of a Carolina alumnus killed in the war, says that she has never met a nicer group of men than those staying at the "Shut-Eye" and that none of them has ever caused any trouble. Admiral Jules James, Comman dant of the Sixth Naval District, has said that he considers the "UJ.S.S. Shut-Eye" the best project *for servicemen in the state. Servicemen from 44 states. Can ada and Eng land, have regkieed heretofore. Thel Uiversity reserves thei right to discontiue thle airranigemient at anyi time if it should nered the space utsedl or if, for anyv other reason, it should wish to terminate the ar rangemient.
