Hey How You There has been a great deal of discussion as to the Identity of the one who introduced this little greeting to the Caro lina campus. Some say that it was friend Wickenberg, some * say others but never the less we still have it. Yours truly suggests that it be used more ... Carolina is falling down on its friendliness. Just the other day a friend complained that he was having a hard time becoming acquainted with one of the thirty odd co-eds who entered this semester. He t explained that when he greeted her with our little ditty she ' looked at him as if he should take a course in freshman Eng- I lish. Speak to everyone on the campus, whether you know p them or not. Co-eds please note: "Hey, How You's lead to c I Do's". Ground Hog Some have wondered just what is the usefulness, if any, of this organization. For those who haven't noticed ... The Ground Hog club sponsored a rather large and rather costly ad in last week's issue of this publication, advocating Clean Speech Week, which is a fine movement. That is a good proj ect. I joined this organization, and am glad, because my dime helped ... I hope. r Glimpsed Around The Campus a r Carolina Co-eds acting not too lady-like in rough and tough c tasketball games this week.

Comparison Overheard in the Canteen, a freshman co-ed was compar ing her boy friend with those of her friends. After a period of silence, a most attractive girl, whose boy friend was evi dently named Jimmy, popped up, "Well Jimmy's got more good looks than Admiral Smith's got Hat." FOR THE BIGGE~ST .
