Around T by Redmo] Your author is not a columnist in the finer sense of the word, and as someone once said he isn't anything in the finer sense of the word. He has been sports editor for the Gamecock, and he has been a member of the society staff. This column is something inbe * tween. It is not society, it is not sports, and it is certainly not news, but is more of a Nash-Winchell Runyon type. You call it what you will. Campus reporter is not the right word, for many activities that may be read here will have oc curred off the campus; Joe's, The Green Derby or the Drive-In. From Five Points to the airport, from Columbia College to the air port, and from Columbia's night clubs to the airport. In view of this wide variation, please let your author choose his own name. So much of Columbia will be cov ered by Around the Campus your author will use a conservative nom de plume, the Airport Re porter. A touch of the Yuletide spirit has been added to the Carolina campus-not bourbon, not scotch, and certainly not blend-but Christmas trees. The Sigma Chi's were the first off, placing a light studded tree in their front yard with a background of appropriate music. As religious emphasis week comes to an end on the campps, shy co-eds are seen running around discussing the worthwhile things they learned in the mar riage seminars. An interesting tale arises from one seminar where * a lecturer interrupted a most in teresting discussion that he was holding and calmly asked a co-ed, "Where is Joe's"? A pert reply was given, and as reports come in the co-ed was walking with the lecturer to Joe's. It was undecided as to who the guest was, he or she. Infirmary Laugh ByInstalling Oil "We certainly installed our new heating system at the right time," declared Miss Sallie Bell Cash, nurse at the Wallace Thompson Infirmary. "This cold weather doesn't bother us a bit." Miss Cash' went on to tell how much more efficient the new sys tem is in comparison with the old "Look For The Dog" MEHLMAN'S 1427 M Have yoi CHOCOLATE COV with coffee . .. .

He was immediately hailed by a lurking police officer, riding a shining motorcycle. When asked if he knew that he had com mitted an infraction of the law, our fellow student pleaded guilty. The student, realizing that he was receiving an invitation to an af fair that he had no wish to attend, explained to the officer the va rious reasons why he should not get a ticket. But to no avail. "You are hereby commanded to -." So our perplexed student accepted his cordial invitation to a meeting with the City Clerk, and slowly drove away. Things looked gloomy for our fellow student. He was a veteran of long standing, and as such vet erans know a veteran's check is slow in coming, and a fine for a minor violation of law in itself, is no little bit indeed. But fellow student appeared in court the next morning, where he found that the judge was an old friend of his father's. So all was well. The moral is, either watch for stop signs, or have a friend in court. Your author is not one who goes to the airport for reasons other than those of a professional na ture - journalism profession -, but when he does he does not want to wait in line for a place to park, Either the city must put parking meters there or another airport must be opened in Columbia There is a certain peacefulness watching the Delta come in. It swoops down on one like a large bird, seeking its prey, and just as you expect it to strike, it leveh off on a magnificent runway, and glides to the observation tower Most of this column's readers probably know how the Delta comes in, however. Isn't it a beautiful sight? s At Coal Strike Heating System one. The new furnace was in stalled approximately a month ago. It is automatic oil heating whereas the old one was operate< with coal. "And even after we went to the trouble to get this new heating unit, we don't have nearly as many patients as we usually have in winter," Miss Cash laughed.
