"I'm titing on my buddy," he said. Soon, when the proprietor wasn'l )king, he ordered an oyster stew d a piece of pie. But, he was de -ted. After thirty minutes 'of picking his food, the youngster went to e back of the restaurant. There stayed for another ten minutes, te proprietor, knowing he was im e back, weitt after him. Not see g the boy. the man bolted the ck door, leaving only the froni or as means of escape. Finally, after-an hour and a hall suspense, the owner was re trded when the boy meekly uched into the front of the res urant (after the crowd had sub. led) and pitifully said "I wasn'l kitin' on any buddy.

Postof f ice Boxes Means Assurance Of Information Post Office boxes for every stu dent have been assigned, accord ing to the postmaster, although some students have not yet re ceived their box numbers. The postmaster urges all men and women to stop by and receive their assignments. The bofces were reworked during the summer and combinations changed. Since the intra-campus mail and U. S. mall are likewise forwarded to students through the boxes,- box holders deprive them selves of important information by not learning box numbers and by irregularly checking them. Stop by today and look into this business. SAY ... "I saw it im THE GAMECOCK" THE.

All of a sudden they seem to be afraid to speak, or even smile. This campus could be a very nice and friendly place if this would only happen, Elwood Cannon4 says.4 There have been all sorts of National Weeks declared in the United States, from National Dog Week to National Sweater Week. "There is nothing wrong with h a v i n g Campus-wide Friendly Week here at the University. It could be.carried on throughout the semester and the following one," Elwood remarked. If this were to take place, then visitors to the campus would find the congenial atmosphere that they might expect from a large group of people attending college, Cannon decided. EGE SHOP.

Nothing has- stood in Mr. 'ears. The depression after truggles that accompanied the econd have been unsucessful i ampering his never-ending initia Ive. Mr. Bell came to the university i September, 1919, as director of le YMCA, after being discharged rom the Army. This was by no ieuns his first experience with *MCA work, for after attending ie public schools in Atlanta, corgia, he entered Erskine Col !ge at Due West, where he was etive in Y work as well as a iember of the Glee Club and the )otball team. After graduating om Erskine, Mr. Bell joined the Aff of the city YMCA in At Lnta, where he remained until the atbreak of World War I. He was discharged in February, )19, and went to Emory univer ty, where he worked with the MCA there until June. When Mr. Bell walked into Flinn all thirty years ago, the sight 'hich met his eyes was not the leasant, friendly atmosphere one nds today. A group of Army ien had just evacuated Flinn Hall, > from that first day, Mr. Bell as worked to improve the Y. Back in 1919, there was no can !en and no postoffice at Carolina. [r. Bell was given the duty of :sting mail for 509 boys twice a 1y. His duties did not stop with ail service, however. That same ear, he organized the first Glee lub on the campus and he holds ie honor of forming the first *eshman Y camp in the South. e also introduced dormitory dis ission groups to the campus. Through his guidance, the intro iction of the Religious Emphasis reek to USC in 1939 was a great tccess. Carolina holds the honor being one of the three most suc saful universities in the nation carrying out such a program iat year. Also, during Mr. Bell's irty years at Carolina, 350 stu ?-fs have entered the ministry id severiatiuve gone ii.t. -foreign issionlary work. This, in itself, significant of the growing im )rtance of the Y. "The purpose of the Y is three ld," Mr. Bell said. "First, the Y is for its ideal the goal of help g students find a way of life. Cond, it tries to provide whole ame entertainment for the stu ~nts, for we believe that 'idle snds are the detvil's workshop.' hird, we want to help students ho need extra money to take em through school to find em oyment." His kindly blue eyes, a ready nile, and the cane which he Lrries when his "football-knee" >thers him, are just as character tic of Mr. Bell as his never ading friendliness and his devo an to Carolina.

C. DePass Has Good Reasons For Disliking Title Prof. S. C. DePass, dean of the school of journalism, was in the midst of his 10 a. m. lecture. Abruptly the professor shoved his chair backward and reflectively gazed out the window to his right. Unrest drifted over his students; this movement was alien to Pro fessor DePass' disposition. Following an agonizing 10 sec onds, the dean of journalism im passively related his thoughts to the class. "Several years ago a notorious pick-pocket was apprehended. The press called him 'Dean of Pick Pockets', and I've never liked the name dean since then."
