Their question of the week al present is "Have you ever hammered on Main Street" When the girls of Carolina started stepping into men's places with their Powder Bowl girl football classic, the Co-ed Association backed them wholeheartedly. Students were ap pointed to attend to a breakfast given the players, to decorate and muake signs, and to erect a ticket booth on the Main Street of Columbia to sell tickets to the game to the towns people. The two co-eds were told to -accomplish the latter deed, but not how. And so they started. The great day began when the two wandered to breakfast, loaded down with posters and paper, paint, thumb tacks, scissors and glue. Of course the campus stared, but then almost anything can happen on a college campus. The University, it seems, had a booth available, and so was trans portation and permission from the mayor of Columbia to erect the booth. Around the campus the girls dashed, making arrangements and setting the time for their arrival on Main Street. Kind professors let them out of class a little early to carry their charge uptown. Into the back of the truck from the Marshall's Office the girls climbed, holding on to the booth which seemed in danger of slipping Carolina Granted New Scholarships Future Teachers Eligible For Pan-American Courses W.

"Unlique" Powder Bowl Game Impresses Life Reporter "This weekend has reminded us of our exciting college days", said Miarie Hansen and Zelda Gottlieb, Life Miagazine photographer and re porter wvho covered University of Carolina activities last weekend. The representatives were im pressedl by the beauty of the campuw and the cooperativeness of the stu dents. Mirs. Hansen, who recentl3 madle a screen test in Hollywood remarked, that Carolina was ar ideal place for a movie. "I have beer expecting someone to shout 'Lights action, take' several times this week endl", she continued. Trhere is no way to determin whether the story of the Powde Bowl game will appear as a fea ture mn Life as yet.

CAROLYN Be( Found ex< PHONOGRA CL-ASSICAL - POPUL.AR FOREIGN - sEPI) WILSON RAC 1835MAAINt STREET Establishes ztown Columbia out as they rounded every corner. Down Main Street they went, while people stared and the Army cheered. At the selected corner they hopped off, to stop traffic while the booth was unloaded, and the work began. Then coies the question, "Have you ever hammered on Main Street?" It was impossible to decorate the booth before carrying it downtown, and the girls planned to do it later, never dreaming of the disturbance they would create. There they were, in the midst of the passers-by, obli vious to everything except the posters and streams of garnet and black which they were attaching to the booth. Help in plenty was offered, and many an obliging man hammered for a while. Or exactly when one girl cussed at a bruised finger or viciously attacked a stubborn nail, there came the eternal question, "What are you doing?" Patiently they explained the first 5o times, but they soon learned. At last they nailed up a poster and continued. The ticket selling: why, the re sponse was wonderful. Two Marines stationed themselves to draw a crowd, until they decided that they had rather go drink beer. And one eager soldier was seen chasing potential buyers down the street, still insisting. But by the end of the three day life of the ticket booth for the Powder Bowl game, the booth looked good, and the sales had soared. And that was enough for the co-eds, although they will never hammer on Main Street again. Hubert H. Biser USC A lumnus, Honored Overseas Hubert H. Biser, who attended the University of South Carolina for one year before entering the service on March 17, 1945, has been authorized to wear the Distin guished Unit Badge with one bronze cluster and promoted to the rank of technical sergeant, it was an nounced by the 15th AAF Head quarters in Italy.

For Ploesti: "U nder- the most difficult andl trying conditions on the ground and (despite extremely adverse wveather cond(itionls in the air, the group . . . successfully de livered a devastating blow to the important enemy oil installations". "Tile grinm determinlation... and heroic courage of the combat crews, together with the profes sional skill and devotion to duty of ground p)ersonnel . . . are out standing in the history of aerial wvarf are." Sgt. Biser was graduated from Dreher High School'in Columbia in May, 1941.
