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.
