Deadline c Applicatio Odd Resident Haunts USC There is an inscrutable person ality at the University off South Carolina. He looks off into far horizons. He dreams and he is alone. The flare of life goes on around him and he observes it with modest Interest. The face of this personality is an interesting study. Emotion is a thing of the past with him. His whole . being emanates calm se renity. Passions and circumstances that would throw most things of life into tantrums seems to en dow him with a greater impertur abability. Sometimes the faintest hint of a smile will touch his quiet face when he looks at the horizon or sees some vain person walk by. He never answers questions, he never expresses an opinion for he is a-Dog. It is doubtful that he would talk if he were a hu man being. His name and description are being withheld because he dis likes notoriety. With a piercing insight into the subtle sense of things and a clear knowledge of the weaknesses of life, he with -holds his wisdom for those who will know him for what he is and will not commercialize him. Do not seek him for curiosity and if you find him, do not pet him for he wlil not wag his tail or growl, he will only look off into the distance with that wistful, in scrutable gaze. rrrr.rrr i"rm-rr 3L-r rII CENTRAL DRUG CO.

He keeps II the place clean and mixes his daily g work with homespun philosophy. F When asked for an interview Lee replied in a drawling uncon- a' cerned tone, "This is the wrong F time now, some other time. This T is my lunch hour. Nothing inter- n feres with my meals." Lee has a way of jumping from one subject to another that has e no rhyme and yet conveys a mean ing. "What you want to know? Is you going to print it?" He ban- 8 tered on, "If you'll print it I'll tell you everything." He walked around the room c hardly conscious that he was al ready telling a story. "This business of coming back from overseas, now," he said as he reached under the bed for some dust, 'that's tough. Settling down after the excitement is hard. The only thing you can do is move." "And these boys that comes up here every semester from high school, I feel sorry for them thinking about the hardships and knocks they've got to take here in school and the world when they get out. It distresses yuh." When asked if he made any bones about taking money, Lee answered, "You got any money I don't turn it down. I need it worse than you do." With this parting farewell, Lee the unmovable, moved on to the next room.
