PEOPLE EXPECT MORE at AND GET IT!! 1630 Main Street ,The right slant on refreshment s Schi Iy Prexy Makes ina's Future me." replied Fred Brogdon when asked what his reaction was to the news that he had been elected president of the student body of the University of South Carolina. "I had been on pins and needles for several days. "My home is in Sumter," he be gait in answer to your reporter's question. "My favorite sports are swimming, football, tennis, and baseball. I like to eat, especially fried chicken," "You won't believe this, but my pet like is accounting. I do it for fun. After 1 am graduated from the University. I want to study some more, maybe at the Wharton School of Commerce. After that, I may do some work under an accom plished accountant for a year or two, and then I want to start my own business some place," lie said. "What would I like to see accom plished toward the improvement of the University? Well, naturally, I am in favor of anything and every thing that will make Carolina a better school. But there are some points that I have definitely de cided to try to do something about. "First. I'd like to see an amend ment to the constitution that would prevent anyone not a stu (lent regularly enrolled at the Uni versity running for any office on the campus. "Second. I'd like to get some widely-known speakers for convo cations. Our convocation programs have been good and we have all enjoyed them. But I think that widely known speakers on our pro grams would give us the best in entertainment, some practical ideas about current problems, and would -ive the University some favorable publicity. "Third, I'd like to see the various meetings about the campus arrang ed so that none would conflict with any other. For instance. the veteran's meetIng should be sched uled to meet when no other meeting was in progress. Others should be scheduled likewise. "Fourth. I'd like to see the ex paision program furthered, and I am going to do all I van toward that end. "Fifth. I'd like to see pre-regis rat io "ugurated this coming year. This would save many hours of work for students, and would give all an equal chance to get classes in the part of the day stu dents wish to have them. "Sixth, I'd like to see the Veter an's organization grow and take more active part in campus life. ''And this coming summer. I'd like to see the freshman camp that Carolina had before the war re turned to an netive status. This wouldt make helter Carolina stu dents of each entering freshman. They would have a chance to meet others hefore cominig to school, and they also would learn something about the' University and college life before entering.

Carolina Needs New Orchestra, Says Garrett The need for an orchestra on the ,,ampus for lihe Fall and Spring term has been expressed by Roy Garrett. business manager of the university. "Unless there is a band formed by this coming Fall. the Ulniversit. will be lacking music for dances on many occasions," said Mr. Garrett. There are few( dance hands in Co lumbia as it is. and they have en gagements far in advance for every night. The Universi t. has been nn the black list of the local musician's atiion becausoe thie University or ihestra members did not belong 'o the union. It was impossible fot them to join a union, since three qluarters of the members wete ;n the navy and were prohibited from taking such action. The coming term, the Univer.sty will probably be taken off the black list, for the present orchestra will disband when the navy leaves. Any new hand wlich might be foamed will have no restrictions har ring membership in unions. Mem bers will he free to play wvhen theuy wish and wher'e they wish. Mr. Garrett st ressed the fact that t hough any new hand formed would have the right to choose when anel where they would play, that it is hoped that they would prtefer to p>lay for C:ttolIna's social affairs. 1...

Tomlin. associate pro fessor of Economics at the Univ,er sity of South Carolina and state price executor of the O.P.A.. was the principal speaker at inst Tues riay's Public Affairs Forum. Declaring himself in favor of a ,ontinuation of price controls for it least the next 18 months, Tom lin stated: 'The O.P.A. makes pos sible a comparatively orderly tran sition from a war to a peacetime economy. Inflation would be inevi lable if price controls were to he emovedt right now." isto,ry Of OP'A Tlomlin traced briefly the history of t he orgaizat ion from its ttrial Ind err'tor incipiency to its power rut preCsent day position. li Ic on linued : "The Office of rice Ad mlinistrtat ion has (tone a matrvelous joh of creation hut a poor' job in admiinist rat ion. The chief reason ot this is the ignorance of an pathet ic public in spite of the act(t that the O.P.A. has one of the reatest prtop)aganda mac'hines everi reated. This indifference is cousn erbalanced somewhat by the intr st shown by groups who ate anx ous for price increases."
