This is. a Frog!
"Anatomy students will sympa
thize with a certain young man's
dislike for frogs," said Prof. Wil
liam E. Hoy, head of the biology
department at the University. This
young man answered one of the
questions on a quiz thus:
"A frog is both aquatic and ter
rific."
Attention Track Enthusiasts!
Dr. Penney, who has coached the
Carolina track teams of the past
several years, has announced that
there will be a track team again
this spring after a lay-off of a year.
He hopes to start training the boys
in February and asks that anyone
interested in this sport come by to
see him in his office in Le Conte
College.
Hey, Billy, Whoa!
It has long been the secret desire
and ambition of many Carolina men to
invade and to see what goes on be
hind those scared inner doors of Sims
dormitory.
War has brought its many changes.
but as yet this fortified objective has
not been captured and still has not
been outflanked. That is, until the
fleet anchored.
Two co-eds were headed for class
when to their amasement they meet
an ROTC'er strolling up their steps,
headed for the third floor.
"Say," asked one after she re
covered from the shock, "Isn't your
compass sorta out of whack!"
")o you know where you are ?"
asked the other.
"No it's not and yes I do," came
the answer.
Bill 'T'idwcll hurried on up the
steps pausing on the last step to de
root the two girls who still stood
there in their exact same spot watch
ing his ascention.
"Please don't worry about me. I've
got a girls' orentation clacs up here."
Thus he hurried on in to the Sins
Third study.
Yes, the war has wrought many
changes, even to the niviersity of
South Carolina.

USC Radio Program
"Gamecock On The Air"
May Have Renaissance
After Summer Absence
From November, 194:3 till June,
1944, radio station WCOS offered
a weekly radio show entitled the
GAMECOCK ON THE AIR.
Edited by Ernest Davis, with co
editors Zan Ileyward, Jr. and Jim
Sheridan and guest editors Roy
Bass and Barnwell Myers, THE
GAMECOCK ON THE AIR at
tempted to cover the news of the
week from the Carolina campus in
fifteen minutes of broadcast time.
Occasional departures from the
newscast were introduced in inter
vicys with leading personalties on
the campus, among whom were
Betty Varian Crews and Ann Roy
all.
In June of 1944, the GAiE
COCK went off the air andi has
not reappeared since. The editor
simply could not discover enough
capable students who were in
terested in doing the -job free. Now,
in response to student request.
Davis is again endeavoring to put
the GAM I?COCK ON 'I'll E AIR.
Changes in the program and the
form of presentation will necessi
tate a much larger staff. Guest mu
sicians from the student body may
possibly he used at various times.
'wo announcers, three reporters,
two script-writers, and two typists
are definitely needed. The program
must he rehearsed a day hefore
broadcast. Soloists and musicians
nav be called upon.
All students interested in anty
phase of this organization should
contact Ernest Davis, Box 544, as
soonl as possible.

Ward Sees Impt
Pan-American I
Lend-Lease Cements
Growing Friendship
"Our relationships with the Latin
and South American countries are
improving," said Mr. C. H. Ward,
Director of the Extension Division
of the University of South Carolina
today. "I think that we are making
great steps towards cementing our
nations together."
NIr. Ward has just returned from
W\ashington, D. C., where he at
tended a conference of Leaders 0A
Inter-American Activities. This
committee, headed by Nelson Rock
feller, was designed particularly to
Further the "Good Neighbor" policy.
According to a report given at this
meeting the South American coun
tries have done an about-face in
their opinions of Uncle Sam.
'Now," said M1r. WVard, "they see
that the Monroe Doctrine is purely
a protective measure, rather than
in excuse for the United States to
Ineddle with their affairs."
Naturally, the war had (lone much
to raise our popularity in South
Aterica. Lease-Lend has benefitted
rur neighbors to the South, and the
United States had also purchased
large amounts of war material from
he Pan-American countries.
Mir. \Ward later said that the
United States has given a helping
tand in other instances. When at the
outbreak of World War 11, soldiers
from the United States were sta
tioned in Chile, the Army doctors
found the hcalth situation deplor
able. They immediately took the
matter over and completely cleaned
up Chile. The grateful Chiiian gov
ernment, seeing what ;-plen(lid work
the United States Army had done,
allocated money to carry on their
work, on the condition that, not
Chilians, but the United States,

the new interest in South America.
"The program of exchanging stu
dents from the different countries
has been discontinued during the
war, but we hope to resume it soon.
It is only through education and a a
clearer knowledge of each other that
tle Pan-Anlcrican counitries can
truly be brought closer together."
