"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." New Department Head Professor Johnson, who only re cently left the ranks of associate professors, has just returned to the Sociology Department after a three year leave of absence. During this time she was Chief of Public As sistance at the State Department of Public Welfare.

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. On each of the doors was a bulletin hoard from which hung snapshots, pictures, and portraits. souvenirs, and collector's items.

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 . . . I'm from Rome." Thus spoke Audrey Chapman, look ing up fr'om her paper. "Hey, Red . . . telephone!" came a call from the hail . . . Three ti tiani-haired girls collided at the door. "Which brand do you want," Mary Cabell called, "Michigan or New Mlexico, or Georgia?" "Barbara Dudd," the voice called. "Where's Dudd from, in Michi gan?" asked Mary Cabeli.

"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.
