probleis facing our Congress and government,
though political platforms fail to reveal them,
to occupy the minds of all whose mind is
worthy of being applied. Can the labor versus
capitalism and ownership battle be finally set
tied with mutual acceptance, or will the strife
circle on, demand, strike, acquiescence? Can
the prejudices of race, color, and creed be
minimized into unimportance and extinction?
Can the people of our own country who know
poverty, hunger, or privation of any nature
be satisfied of their daily needs or will pov.
erty, and privation continue to be the black
mark of our civilization? Can illiteracy be
eliminated by more federal anld state help to
the agencies of education and when will those
governments realize this need? Can the Presi
dent of the United States and all other state
and federal officers be the most capable men
in that state or this country or will the rank
odors of avaricious politics continue to avert
many of the best men from the service of their
state and nation? Can the South bolt the one
party system or will it contimue to remain in
national political obscurity, an wifavored
child? ( vranted that Americans art not born
either free or e(ial, can this idealism be at
Iainled, or would the "out" Iolitical party,

The Foot Is Off
The Face
And so again we say good-bye to rolling Gibbes Green, to
Legare and Dessausaure, and to the gentle Southern architec
ture of all aging chapel. (This is not a Travel-Talk!)
Forgive me if I wax a bit sentimental on this memorable
graduation occasion (weddings and funerals affect me the
same way!), but I feel the "bacholaric" urge! This being (and
this time I ain't kidding) my last week of suffering the
tortures of this column, I wish to say farewell. Let us hang
our books on the weeping willow tree-adieu, adieu, kind
friends, adieu!
EDITORIAL ON COLUMNING
(I might well direct this paragraph at one R. Bass. The
unfortunate lad is destined to become my successor in this
space. However, I'd like to swear you all to secrecy on what
I am about to divulge, because I'm filled with morbid curios
ity to see how the illustrious Bass will conduct these ill fated
inches-without being aforewarned of their treacherous
ness!)
The columnist equips himself with several yellow copy
sheets and the worst typewriter in the office. The pencil be
hind his ear serves but one purpose: before he has pounded
out his twenty inches, he has consumed the eraser of same
and is having trouble digesting it.
The indigestion, however, may be attributed to anyone of
numerous causes. After he has typed out one sheet of his
manuscript, he turns in search of another. The discovery
that some other scribe has made off with the rest of his copy
sheets is not conducive to an altruistic disposition. le is
forced to type sheet two on the back of a discarded Honor
Council story.
Sheet two completed he rifles through the confusion of
papers at hand for some notes lie needs. The notes he finds
are being utilized for writing headlines. Okay, so he turns
back to his typewriter to make up wvhat lie was going to copy,
but, no, iiow he don't ever got a typewriter. Big news story
must be typed immediately.
Well, the guy's an accommodating soul so he thinks he'll
let 'en use the machine while he rushes out to scare up a little
news. iIe journeys down to the canteen in search of an in
former. Settles himself in a booth with Iutchinson who al
"Ways knows all. Learns a little good do)e. Hutch departs, and
from a nearby table an eavesdropper comes over. Ie's over
heard the big scoop the coluniiist has just been given, and
"doesn't think it would be wise to print ''."
Back in the office, the columnist reclaims his machine. '
le's got nothing to go on but his own ingenuity, which cer
tainly is not going to hold out for ten more inches. Well, he'll
try his hand at poetry for a coul)le of inches. Suddenly great
guffaws begin surging over his shoulder. 'Tis Ernie Davis
who has completely misconstrued the "pome," and Cndows it
with a distinctly lewd interpretation. This in due time is
brought to the attention of the editor who would never have
thought up the angle on his own hook. lowever, since it has
been suggested to him. he thinks it wise to junk said "pome."
The columnist again finds himself with a I)erfectly blank
sheet of paper and an even blalker mind. Perhaps, an e(di
torial on campus social relations will (10 the trick. But the
editor who has nlow becolme conscious of his subordinates'
existence and is now prowling arounld the office looking for
some copy to swipe. "This," he decides, "will make a fine edi
torial for my page." And so the column1ist hlys dowvn his
heads (by this time he feels as though he has three!) and
There is no alterniat ive but to lift from D)orothv Parke's
little volume of caustic gems. And if you dlon't mind( so we
will:
WITH APOLOGIES TO DOT
"Go seek, my love, your ntewer way
i'll not be left ill sorrow
So long as I have yesterday
Go take your dlamned tomorrow''
(Tfhis might well be the sentiment of the Carolina lass
whose love is going home on leave-doubtless to make up
with the girl next door. Never you mind, me lassy, the First
Army will dlrowvn thy sorrows when it arrives shortly. And
never' let it be saidl that we should sit and wvait for the Navy
to make up its mind while the Marines already have the sit
uation will in hand ! Sail on slip) of fate-our hearts are
bloody but uncowedl.)
WHAT SHALL I WRITE ABOUT NOW?
Well, what shall I wvrite about now ! . . . What about you?
And what leads you to believe the world is in any way in..
terested ini your comings andl goings! ..ou say your im
portance lies in the very aur'or of mystery that surrounds
you. .. ..hat no one knowvs your innermost thoughts. . ..
Conic now, my boy, this campus wouldl never condlone such
an enigma. . . . Man cannot live without his fellowv creatures.
..*. Else who wvill lie bum his cigarettes from. ...And wvho
could serve as much extra dluty as have you, but that p)eop)le
would connect his handsome mug with the domestic broom.
*... Ah, and who but you cleaned those magnificent fowls for
the Y-Retreat? . . . Nor' can we ignore that moving voice that
has so captured the feminine heart of our university....
From whence came those pinuk butterflies sur'roundhintg yon
co-ed's head ? . . . You, oh master of romance, are not, can
never be a mystery. . . . For cupidl sooni will f'ind his truest
mark, and we will add you to the list of one-time independent
souls who were caught and led by their public's wvish ! (Note
to readler: You recognize him, of course !)
VACATION
I'm sure you've mlade your lplanus for' the Summer vacation.
. . Everybody has. - -. Well, we couldln't get a cottage at
IPawley's. . . . We had one in the mountains,g but the word
is that you'll starve up ther. .. ..Meat rationing is fierce.
. . . Might try one of the other beaches. . . . All too crowded
tho. . . . Why not just take trip to see some friends in an
other city? . .. Can't trav'el on the bus or the train, too
much traffic that way now T.h 01(1 fmla' dos'ge
fed again until the new ration stamps come in, so that's no
go. .. . Why dlon't you just stay home and sleep, huh ? .* And
better still catch un on next ..-et-r, .p..a''e*
