Terrifying Friends
Playing'That Game'
Auburn, Ala. - (ACP-) -- Since
bridge is a favorite pastime
around the old campus, let's dis
cuss some typical players.
There is the You Fool 'type.
These are the self-appointed au
thorities who have calculating
machiries in their pointed heads.
Most of their time is spent in
leering at their partner from their
fan of cards and slapping their
foreheads and stamping their feet
at everything you say. Answer
their bid and you should have
passed, don't answer their bid and
you missed a slam. They can
quote a Culbertson at length and
give percentages like an insur
ance salesman.
The Bid and I'll Scream type
are the ones who will usually let
the bidding get to about the three
level and then begin to put the
evil eye on you. They hesitate be
fore each bid, begin to look out
the window, shake their heads,
light cigarettes, ask for change,
ask what time it is, kick over coke
bottles and do anything else that
will divert your attention from
the cards. When they do these
things you had better pass-un
less you have missed your cue
and they turn out to be the fol
lowing type.
The Don't Bid and I'll Scream
type are the ones that bid and
then begin to clear their throat.
With this type you usually wind
up at the four or five level with
absolutely nothing at all, and
then they see to it that you are
the one who has to play it. After
they have gotten you much too
high and have laid down their
hand, they get up and go out the
door, turn right and then turn
right again.

Locksmith Reports
Over 100 Lost Keys
During Last Month
University students lost more
than 100 dormitory room keys
during the month of November,
H. L. Benedict, locksmith, said
this week.
Benedict said that the number
of keys lost by the students will
decrease during December because
of the Christmas holidays, but
when students return in January,
many of them will find that they H
have lost their keys. s
Besides making keys, Benedict tl
said that he spent much of his s
time repairing locks broken by
students who have lost their keys. o
Many times it is necessary to re- t
place the door because of this, t
he said.

.jx 4,
People for this man are a hobby. t
is ear is always open and his s
ioulder ready for the troubles
iat stem from life at a univer
ty.
Few who tread the brick walks
f Carolina fail to come at some i
me during their college career I
the little office of R. G. Bell
i Flinn Hall. His official title
executive secretary of the
'MCA, but his unofficial capacity
that of temporary "father" to
s all.
Every morning for 28 years
with a few exceptions) this man
as walked into Flinn Hall ready
Dr a day of service to the stu
ents. It is his job to run the
'MCA, but it is his belief that
ince it is a students' organiza
ion, the students themselves
hould run it. One of his col
magues in the office has termed
Uis one of his measures for suc
essfully guiding the program of
he association on this campus.
Father Bell believes that stu- i
ents learn by doing, and that is 1
xactly what he lets them do. To
e sure, he is always seated in
he background ready to answer
uestions, give much needed ad
ice, and in general keep the ball
olling the way it should roll.
Religious Emphasis Week, which
as just drawn to a successful
onclusion, is his annual head
che and his annual week of the
~reatest joy. The work of long
reparation and effecting the
roper spirit for this occasion is
andled for the most part by com
nittees of students and faculty,
ut his guiding hand is behind
t all.
"Mr. Bell, what are we going
o do about this?" "Father Bell,
)octor So-and-so called about
his ?" "Could you come to this
ommittee meeting and sort of
ret things started the right wvay?"
Thus, the Y office has its hectic
lays, but through it all is R. G.
lell, standing in the middle,
iatching up everything here and

here, and enjoying it more than
nyone else, for it is just the
ituation to have that effect on
4im.
He likes nothing better than to
ee everything moving at once,. HE
vith everybody getting to the iw
,ight place at the right time and
etting what should be gotten out sp
f the program. That is his situa- Bt
ion, and, with his experience, he ye
nows just how to handle it all
vithout offending the little man fo,
itanding'In the corner hoping it th
will all blow over so that he can
,et his chance. te
Father Bell is always involved in
n some little project for some wi
ndividual student, too. Last year tii
when so many veteran students vi
were having trouble getting their
ubsistence pay from Uncle Sam,
1e stepped in to arrange a loan
;ervice for the students. Through n
-mall acts like this he wields a I
eep influence on this campus, for a
t is the little things done when su
.hey are needed that the student -
-emembers all through his days
ere, and even outside the walls.
And through it all, Bell has
naintained the religious senti
nent in the university Y that so -
nany of the organizations on
>ther campuses have forgotten.
'he Y, he has said, does not op
irate to put Christian ideals into
z student, b)ut to allowv the stu
lent to acquire thenm by helping
thers, and in this way helping
himself.
So, down through the years,
Pather Bell has been just that for
ll of us at Carolina, someone to
whom we could turn for guidance,
for~ help and for kindly advice.
