New Freshman Is Old Hand iA By JAMES B. SIMS The Carolina band got a real prize package when Olin Kearse selected the university as his Alma Mater. Olin is the young man who does all that high stepping and fancy baton-twirling for the 70-piece Carolina band during half-time at the stadium. When he put in his appearance at Gsmecock football games he already had an impres sive reputation. This young man has been strutting his stuff as a high school drum-major for the past four years. A native of Bam berg, he must be good - just take a look at his record: While going to school in Alba, Alabama, he was chosen to lead the State Peanut Festival Parade held yearly in Dothan. This is a big event in Alabama and forty-five bands par ticipated. Kearse was adjudged one of the best in the state. Last year he attended high school in Day tona, Florida, where the Florida baton-twirling contest was held. Here, too, Olin excelled, being se lected one of the five best twirlers in the state. The contest was open to every high school of the state. For the last two summers, Olin has given outstanding perform ances at the )aytona Civic Club as well as the Daytona Band Show. He is nineteen years old, and is the son of Mrs. F. W. Kearse and the late Mr. Kearse. lie is a nephew of State Senator Carl Kearse of Bamberg. Qualified observers say that Olin Kearse's initials are inade quate, but, nevertheless, quite ap propriate. Att'n Wadiak: Prizes For TD's The title, "Mr. Touchdown, U. S. A.," and a deluxe model tele vision set will be awarded to the football player on the major col lege team who scores the most touchdowns during this season in a national contest sponsored by RCA Victor.

Local prizes of a 45 rpm self contained phonograph will be given each wveek to the football player wvho scores the most touchdowns in each RCA Victor territory.
