Tongue Dear Happy Harriett, the Homebreaker: A question has been plaguing me for the past few weeks. I have lost my sleep, my good looks, my friends, and my beautiful figure. So, hearing through the grapevine of your wisdom and sympathy, I have decided to ask you to answer my question. First, I think I ought to de scribe myself. I am eighteen, strong and healthy, and have good teeth. My feet, though slightly flat, are serviceable; they are at tached to my legs, which are nicely formed, but howed. My eyes are pretty, being big and dark, but slightly crossed. I am five feet and three inches; I weigh 116 pounds . . . on some scales. Now, my boy friend and I were very much in love. Only he is get ting married. This- marriage pre sents difficulties. I may be need lessly worried, but I feel that this may interfere with ar romance, since I'm 'not the one he's marry ing. Could it he possible that he no longer loves me ? So that's my problem. Bewitched, Bothered, and Befuddled. )ear Bewitched, Bothered, and Befuddled It appears to me that you are getting unduly excited. In this day of modern conventions there is no reason for his marriage to inter fere with your romance. I am sure something can he worked out. After all, I'm sure the new wife won't object to your going along to an occasional movie. I think you are jumping to con clusions about his not loving you. You are misconstruing the mean ing of his actions. It is obvious that he only wants a little variety in life, so why not let him enjoy the potentialities of two women? --H. ii. If you too have a problem, let Happy larriett help you solve it. for Shoes that look like new .4 VISIT ROBERTS SIIOE REPAIRING SE VICE f Shoe A ees ries Leather ,oodis * * A Ss om ' LDWE 'S t , 19 Sumter St. UN IVER SIT A Co pie Universal F BULOVA WAT ELGIN WA SPIDEL In Cheek Send your sob story to H.H., the Homebreaker, in care of Box 80. * .~. * "how did you make this cake, sweetheart?"

Cassidy, psychology professor. The demand for assistance with emotional problems has been so great, Professor Cassidy said, that the university decided to set up the clinic. The dean of women, dean of men, student testing bu reau, and other guidance personnel will work with the clinic officials on a cooperative basis, in conjunc tion with the student health service. "Many students have visited our department seeking advice on a varied range of problems," Profes sor Cassidy said. lie also stated "that only through the cooperation of those seeking our advice can we be of much beneficial assistance."

(USC Professor Blames Broken Homes For Many Failures Easton, Pa. - (I.P.)-Retarded eading and broken homes are mong the main causes for stu ents' failures in college, Prof. rank R. Hunt, dean of students t Lafayette college, says afier a hree-year study of reasons for ailires. )ean Hunt asserts that too many tudents arrive at college with in dequate preparation, a limited ocabulary and a general inability o comprehend issues from the rinted page. The remedy, he sug ;ests, is smaller classes, more eachers, a more careful selection f those planning to prepare for ollege and more personal atten ion to those students. As for home environment, Pro 'essor Hunt says that the great in reuse in the divorce rate since Vorld War I has resulted in many tudecnts in college from broken omes. The common results of the tudent's emotional reaction from roken homes is inability to con entrate on the work at hand, the lean holds. His study has showvn that such student has lost his sense of se urity, is frequently torn between )yalty to one or both parents, is II at ease in accepting invitations rom friends to visit their homes ecause he cannot reciprocate, and ftin feels responsible for the fi aiatl supplort of his mother. Other reasons listed for failures aclude financial factors, inability I) work independent of supervision nd lack of experience in using the reedom wvhich is found in college ife.

College Boys' IIl Times CUJSTOMER Next T'o Fire Sta..on Know Your Professor By JOE STRINGER This week I'm writing about s professor who was wearing a greer tie, brown suit and had on a palh of yellow socks the day that I in. terviewed him. I also noticed thal he was a chain smoker. In fact hF is famous for the length of cigar. ette ash. This professor, Dr. Havilah Bab. cock, has been at USC for 23 years. He is head of the English depart ment. His most popular class is English 129. Dr. Babcock has made quite a reputation for himself as a writer. Some 150 of his stories and essays have been published in national magazines during the past 15 years. A collection of his stories, "My Health Is Better in November," has been widely read and is now going into its third edition. This was the first complete outdoor book by an American to be selected for braille by the American Association for the blind and the Library of Congress, and has been published in three large braille volumes. An example of Dr. Babcock's humor is illustrated in the dedica tion of this book: "This volume is affectionately dedicated to my Alice (his wife), without whose many suggestions it would have been finished in half the time." Dr. Babcock is the past presi dent of the South Carolina Game and Fish association, and past president of the South Carolina Wildlife federation. At present he is National Director of the Izaak Walton League of America, and National Director of the American Wildlife federation. He belongs to Phi Beta Kappa, O.D.K., estab lished O.D.K. at Carolina and was a National Councilor of O.D.K. He is a member of Kappa Alpha social fraternity. He is included in "Who's Who in America" and "Who's Who in the World."

Dr. Babcock has been a news, paper reporter, editorial contribu tor, and a newspaper editor. He was the director of School of Jour nalism at William and Mary col. lege and the assistant to the presi dent there. During the depression Doctor Babcock and his students raised money and laid most of the brick walks on the university campus. They did the actual work them selves. . . . For a long time the walks were known as the Babcock Walks. As a sportsman, Dr. Babcock is considered a crack fisherman and hunter. He also calls himself an "undistinguished" golfer. It has been said that Doctor Bab cock has been seen practicing golf strokes at wee hours in the morn ing dressed in his pajamas. As a teacher and a person, he is independent, frank, and surprising. So students, don't be surprised at what he does. Even a postage stamp is worth less, unless it has sufficient lick to make it stick. "Fool's gold" is accounts re ceivable . . . ninety days old.
