"We can't begin to supply the de Miand," she went on to say. "With World War II at an end at last, the need for men and women to be sent throughout the world as social workers has increased tremendous ly. The Red Cross is desperate for helpers. U.N.N.R.A. also offers po sitions which are just begging to be filled by graduates from our school. In fact, many of our former stu dents are now in Europe working for U.N.N.R.A."

There was a suf ficient number of people there to fiii a banquet hail, most of them trying to talk at once. There were books, magazines, copies of the Gamecock, the Garnet and Black and the Carolina Review on the dlesk and many chairs, stools and cushions placed in odd spots in the study.

Just then Charlotte Bake rush ed out of the room to get a picture of a boy from Mass. "She looks like she's taking off for Atlanta," someone laughed... "I didn't know Charlotte was from Georgia . . .

The societies decided, how. ever, to make the magazine a cam pus publication, and work was be gun last September on the current issue. If one person can be given credit for a magazine which incorporates the ideas of an entire staff, that person is MacHammond. theeditor. When asked to comment on the magazine. Hammond said. "I've read all t he material so many times that I have no idea whether it is good or not. But we printed what we received. And, anyway, the im portant thing about the magazine is that it is out. In a way, I think it is something of a miracle."
