WAR-DEPLETED STAFF
FACES MAN-POWER SHORTAGE;
DESERVES COMPLIMENT
"It's the war.''
Few students realize fully the 'ritieal short
age of imlanpower w'i'h faces the University
statf, the stai'i that washes th' widitlows. eleaus
the dormitories, and keeps the canpus neat
the stafT that tends the tires that heat the
water, that puts the mail in the nmailboxes, tat
handles the endless paperw\"ork of registration.
Few students know that recently the men
in the boiler room of t hie n liversit v were coii
pelled to work for twenity-four hours witi i
relief because there was no one to relieve them
-that four ment there are doing the wtrk that
was formerly done by six.
lin almost every adninistrative departncit
of the University there is a ntiaitnpower short
age, a short age which causes ineit'iiecires.
The administration and the dean of the idt
mitnistration is fully cogt'nizaut of th-ese inef
lieiencjes which are so bitterly coptltthiied
about, but it is powerless to eliintat e many of

LAST REGISTRATION
GREAT IMPROVEMENT;

cheerful students. greeting each other with the
happy voice of a rejuvenated spirit aniid energy.
It was an ordinary day, and yet it wasn't.
Could this he regist rat ion day, the enigma
of the freshntu and the plague of the upper

Take it off, take it off,-your foot I mean-and don't forget
that the Gamecock's policy is-to fool you so hadst better be
careful in your guess work.
Waslt't the Powder Bowl game a thrill? The Buck and the
Skimp really had their gals in there fightirig. Buck tells us that
the Pi Phi's worked hard for their victory-but look what they
had for an inspiration,-or Buck,-or Jill.
Spring sprang in and then sprung right out again. Ole Sol is
really bearing down these days. Noticed along this line are
several cases of complexion change. Sokol and the Moose look
like a couple of Indian chiefs and "Toozic'' .Johnston could pass
for a mahogany desk ornament. Just the other day Ban Moody
was walking down Main Street and two darkies tried to get her
phone number.
Oh, yes! We again have a hero. An unsung hero and we, his
biographers, believe that he wishes to remain unsung. llowever,
his words are pertinent and worthy of campus criticism. 'T'he

A discussion about the disuse of the const itutions of several cain.
pus organizations. The Question: Is there a constitution any
where on this campus that anyone follows? Our hero's apropos
remark : Yes-we have one person on this campus with a very
strong constitution and SIHE follows it to the letter.
Don't shoot now Dennis, but we must tell the girls to go out
and watch Georgie Farris run the track. Between those pretty
red shorts and those shoulders (oh, those shoulders) we don't
know which to swoon over. Be careful of the little lassie who
has recently received his Sigma Nu pin. Speaking of Sigma Nu's,
how does Ilunky's hairent look to you? It's been rumored that
