01 HAPPY HOMECOMING DAY, EVERYBODY! In honor of this great occasion, I am turning most of this column over to news of Carolina alums today. Every year, hundreds of Carolina students pass through her portals, leaving their happy, carefree college days be hind them, and venturing out into the "harsh," cruel," world. But they never forget their Alma Mater, and we never forget them. Many of them visit the old school all through the year, but Homecoming Day brings them back in swarms. So welcome back to Carolina, alumni, and alumnae! We love you everyone. We've planned a great big celebration in your honor, too. Sororities and fraternities have trans formed their various rooms and lawns into Homecoming dis plays and posters; drop-ins and tea dances claim every spare minute; the mighty Gamecocks will stage a thrilling ex hibition on the gridiron this afternoon. Mary Shoun will reign today as our 1946 Homecoming Queen, and in her court will be Jeanne Early, Sarah Rodgers, and Jan Fulmer. And now, let's turn the spotlight on you-our Carolina alums! Carolina alums had a regular get-together in Chicago re cently when Herb Beitel, attending the University of Chi cago Law School, Amy Block who is working in Chicago, Sid Wise who is getting an M.

Miss Eloise Buck of the Kath erine Gibbs School, New York, will speak t' the Co-Ed Associa tion of the University of South Carolina on November 26. Miss Buck's subject will be titled "Em ployment Opportunities." This sub ject was chosen by the Associa tion because most of the girls are still undecided as'to their future vocations. Mr. C. F.

It was voted at this meeting to give $100 of the proceeds of the last Co-Ed dance, to the Burma hospital fund being raised by Dr. Gordon F. Seagraves. Becky Ann Melton of Cheraw was appointed chairman of a com mittee which is to make ribbon pins for the homecoming game. "The Egg And I" Non-Fiction Best Seller Is Reviewed By RITA LEVENE Some people like their eggs fried, others like them scrambled, and some take them over lightly, but to Betty MacDonald, that small, oval object not only be came the title of her book, "The Egg and I," but also sent her on a merry chase to determine which came first, the chicken or the egg. The humorous, ridiculous, and often homespun events of life in the wilds of the northwest give "The Egg and I" a delightfully rich and wholesome flavor. When as a less hardy modern pioneer, Betty MacDonald takes to a place in the country to get away from it all, you wonder how she ever learned to cope with baby chicks, insects, moonshiners, In dians, bears, unpredictable stoves, pressure cookers, and neighbors who might have come from To bacco Road itself. The end comes about blissfully, but reluctantly when it is decided that the hen is boss. To read the book is to laugh. Drop in on thesf for the bo HOT CHOCOLATE Eclaire Ice AT FIVE .

The University is the only school in the state possessing such machines. The enrollment in the school of music is the largest in the history of the University.
