AustrianExch Plans To Be By JACKIE SOUTHERLAND A new student to the Carolina campus this year is twenty-year old Alfred Matzer from Austria. Born in the country and now having his home in Graz, Austria, Alfred is a sophomore here. He studied for five years at elemen tary school, eight years at the gym nasium, and one year at the Uni versity of Graz. He learned his English in school, and because of his natural quickness in picking up languages, he plans to be an in terpreter. At present he is major ing in English and French. Alfred is here on a scholarship as an ex change student for one year. This summer, for the first time, the dark Austrian traveled outside his own country. He visited a sis ter in France and journeyed also to Switzerland and Italy, where he learned to speak a little Italian. lie was in Italy when he received word that he had been chosen, after answering many tests and printed forms, to come to Caro lina. While people are nearly the same the world over, Alfred has noticed some outstanding differences be tween this country and his native Austria. He was first struck by the tall skyscrapers of New York. The people here are very friendly, he says, and have a higher stand ard of living. American women, according to Alfred, wear far more make-up than his countrywomen and have much more freedom. - AN OPEN -t( Coeds, Men Studc Administr< We feel sure that our prices and try our I take your laundry and d UNIVE LAUNDRY & D SERI Next Door to P.

Andy has been in radio for five years and is now a staff announcer with WNOK, as well as conductor )f his own program. His program is on the air on Nfondays, Wednesdays, and Fri lays from four till five, and on 'uesdays and Thursdays from four ill five-thirty. His record show s called Juke Box Review and features popular music exclusively. During his Jamination Time he plays mystery tunes that reward luick, well-informed listeners with four passes to the Carolina theater. While he personally likes popu Lar music equally as well as the :lassics, Andy is sure that al nouncers get tired of a hit tune nuch faster than does the listening mublic. The trouble is, he explains, :hat a disc jockey hears the ielody five times to the one the iverage person hears it. In addition to working thirty five hours a week at the station, Andy is carrying on with his regu ar school work and is a member f the Air ROTC. "ATTENTIOI U.S.C.

This in dividual is tired of the invariable response to his reply to the ques tion, "Where do you work?". His reply is, "i run the iusic ron in the library." The invariable response (from freshmen to seniors) is something like this, "The music room - what's that?" So in hope that the pen be mightier than the voice: The music room is a circulating music library where records may be played or checked out for a period of two weeks. It contains a well balhanced clas ical colleet;on to suit the taste of the neophyte as well as that of the sophisticate, and also has a small collection of some of the better known literary recordings. It is located in the southeast wing on the third floor of McKissick library and is open from 7 to 10 p. m. on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Thurs day nights.
