Do you have the ability to give a good "snow" Job??? Can you use a few more hours on your pledge activities? ? ? Do you like to have doors slammed in your face and hear every ex cuse from A to Z??? If you fit a the discription, brother, you're in! All of this boils down to the l fact that the Garnet and Black needs "Ad Sellers" desperately. The 1947 Garnet and Black will be out in June this year if wei *meet the February 1st deadline. - To be abfe to meet this deadline, we have to have student aid and eo-operation. This is what we're 1 pleading for nowr.1 The 1947 Garnet and Buck will cost the school approximately $12, 000. To date-we have approximate ly $7,000 in the treasury. That means . . . to you finance wiz zards . . . there is a balance of $5,000 that has to come from somewhere. The "Somewhere" will be the ads that we, the students, can and will sell. Many times we have heard stu dents say, "I'd love to do some thing for the school and organi zations if someone would only ask me." For those, this is a golden opportunity. So please, you fine, fine people, take a few minutes ~and read the next paragraph. There will be a meeting of the 1947 Garnet and Black business staff today at 4:30 in the base ment of Sims where the Garnet and Black office is located. If some of the students would ~like to help but can not be pres ent at the meeting because of labs and classes, please get in touch with Sue Rives, extention 84 or Garnet and Black office. ousmf 'Tei Lists Sites Foi irary Buildings armanent, will be erected or rniversity of South Carolina 1, president, who yesterday porary buildings okeyed b3 month. :ormer Professor o Deliver Addres4 ro January Class Dave W.

Wondering Abc By LACY BUTLER "Say, when Is WUSC going to get on the road ?" "What's this I hear about a campus station--where In the world is it?" "Isn't it about time to start that station? Whatcha hung on?" These questions are asked every day and many think that plans for the campus radio sta tion have dropped, but such Is not the case. A handful of students have been planning and working for over a year to establish the station, and they are still plan ning and working. Campus stations usually start out with equipment and money, two Items which WUSC lacks In part.

Confirmation from Authority is expected today, Smith said. FPHA district offices in At lanta had informed the president last week that estimates on work completed, work to be done and the cost to complete the project were being prepared. Smith had emphasized to the Atlanta branch that the university had no funds to be used for the construction of veterans housing units. In an attempt tp bring about the g completion of 54 separate dwell t ing units in the G. I. building pro i gram for the University of South e Carolina, Smith had contacted of 's ficials in Washington and Atlanta n to extend the stop order for con struction until the buildings could 'y be finished. I- The Federal Public Housing Au it thority ordered all work discon !d tinued indefinitely on housing for r- veterans in a telgram to Admiral st Smith December 19. Since that date no building has been done s- on the housing unit going up on te Asylum road. is Fifty-four prefabricated houses se and four six-apartment units have n. been erected with the exception of re roofs. In a telegram to the FPHA e- in Atlanta, President Smith in ns formed authority officials that te "stoppage of work on these build th ings before they are sufficiently ,y protected will result in severe )n damage and loss to the govern ie ment." -" In letters to South Carolina congressmen, Admiral Smith pointed out that the university, the city of Columbia, the state and several of its departments have done a considerable amount of work and have expended con siderable funds in preparation of plans, making of surveys, locat ing, leasing or buying and pre paring satisfactory building sites within the city for the veterans housing development.
