At the start of World War II, all this began to change. The Navy took over the school to train its personnel. Early morning cal isthenics were the order of the day. Fraternities, honorary organi zations, and class elections were controlled by navy students. Class schedules were speeded up. In stead of two semesters, there were three. Navy students were in their dormitories by dark. Lights had to be out at 10 p. in. CENTRAL DRUG CO.

But somewhere in the transition from a civilian school to a military one and again to a civilian institution, the friendliness and oneness of the student body was lost. Since the end of the war and the return of civilians to the cam pus, things are still amiss. The average age of the men students is greater than ordinarily it would be. Many students are married and have children. They are, for the most part, obsessed with one idea . . . to get a degree and get ouit of school. They don't have time for extra curricular ac tivities, nor the patience. Next fall shouldl see another transition period for Carolina. Most of the older studients will b)e graduated. and one of the largest freshmen classes ever to attend Carolina will enter school. SAY ...
