How To Win Feed People I By MARY SAYE GASTON Two ex-G.I.'s and a - pretty, young co-ed at the University of Texas have found an answer to that question ever before college students: "How can I make some extra money ?" While doing this, they have also found an answer to another of our questions, or rather, to that statement: "I'm darned hungry but haven't timeMto dress and go down~ to Joe's or to the Grill. And how'li I ever study when I'm so hungry? Why doesn't someone go oyt and get me some thing ?" It seems that the girl, Morgia Howard, thought that it would be an excellent idea to supply snacks for students during the hours when they are studying (or maybe holding those nightly bull ses sions). She found that the two ex G. I.'s had a. similar idea so the three joined forces. From theqe plans, "Night Sneck" was born. This firm spe cializes in providing sandwiches and milk for students. It was no problem to find people who could take the time to make the rounds every evening.' Regular routes were established to ali fraternity and sorority ,houses and dormitories. Each night, these are followed by the "delivery boys" carrying bas kets ofaham, chees., and egg salad sandwiches and .bottles of milk with sanitary paper cups. About on. thousand sandwiahes and Ier B wedi Carolina's Band At: Game Today Professor Louis A. Pink of the music department has announced that in today's game the new band which replaced the Navy band will be wearing its uniforms for the first time in four years. There will be fifty members on hand, five majorettes, and a drum major. Some sort of exhibition has been promised. Friends And Vith Profits bottles of milk are sold nightly so it is easy to see that the firm is receiving a nice profit from their venture. The partners work from the kit. chen of one of the ex-G. I.'s and his wife's apartment. Morgia goes from classes to the kitchen where she supervises the whole pro cedure. Say, aren't there some eager people on our campus who might be Interested in some similar ven ture ? I know that there are plenty of hungry students, because I'm one of them. Of course, there's that small Item of getting sup plies to start the venture, but first, there would have to be some or ganization (eager people) willing to get the ball rolling. The campus could really use something of this type. AUl that is needed now Is someone with a kitchen, some spare time, (What Is that anyway? If you have any to spare, please let mes know where It Is on sale?), just loads of en ergy, and, yes, a will for work. Now If any energetic students de cide to try this, for goodness' sake, don't forget to put the "Gameeoi" on your route! We'd like to be steady customers. 'Long 'bout 9:80 or '10 o'clock we're all ready for a pick up of some kind so we can keep working to get this paper of ogrs to you while news is still new! owiFi 3yPi 1575 Students Now Enrolled In Orientation By PEGGY TREXL4R Frank L. Culbertson, dean o: he orientation department of th4 University of South Carolina ha announced that approximately 1, 675 registered students are nov enrolled in orientation classes. In 1940, a group of Universit: students made a general study oi University conditions which led t< a number of recommendations tA the administration. Among then was a request that the course o: lectures to new students bi changed in form ao that AeIMte% upperclass men and women coul serve as leaders of orientatioi classes which would study an< discuss topics pertaining to stu dent life and activities, history traditions, honor principle, clas. attendance and functions and prob lems of the State University os South Carolina. The present system is the out growth of this request. A studeni committee, working under and ii conjunction with the personnel bu reau has complete charge of the organization of the classes, selects the material to be presented, helpi write the text. Instructors for thi classes are selected student volunteers, chosei by a steering committee made uj of student and regular facult: members. There are 68 teachers.
