I would rather live in a cc without a government thai ernment but without news Spring 1 A few hours after this issue of The Game cock is distributed, many Carolina students will be following the lead of the scantily clad, beach-bound individual to our right. Indeed, Spring has sprung, and with Spring, Easter holidays are upon us. House parties should be in full swing by nightfall. For many of us this will be the last fling. The last holiday in a holiday-filled, four-year career at Carolina. We are the seniors, the old pros, the wise-old-birds who look down upon freshmen, sophomores and juniors. The worm is turning, however. We are beginning to envy those freshmen, sopho Harvard Is i The University of California lost another professor who didn't believe in loyalty oaths, and the "Daily Californian" didn't like the idea one bit. It declared: "Harold Winkler, former assistant profes sor of political scierice here, has been ap pointed to the faculty of Harvard university. "Winkler. .. is one of the academic boys who ,refused to knuckle under when the Regents demanded a test-oath of non-sub versiveness. . . .

He is also former research director of the Council for Democ i-ieacaches? i The "Ohio State Lantern," slightly im mersed in self-pity, recently printed the fol lowing editorial: "We note that a recent physician's survey indicated that college graduates have far more headaches than hose with little education.

They still have one, two, or three years of Carolina life ahead of them while we face the shocking reality of being forced out into the cold, cruel world in just a little over two short months. Oh bitter fate! Look to your holidays you freshmerl, sopho mores and juniors. Make them count and enjoy them well. Someday you too will be seniors and a final Spring will have sprung for you. You, too, will be facing your final holiday as an undergraduate at the Univer sity of South Carolina. Will you be prepared to step out and face the world ?-T.

"This, however, would not satisfy the Regents; they had to have his signature under a mass of nonsensical mumbo-jumbo or he was 'unfit to guide the minds of our gullible youth,' as the saying goes. "So Winkler left the University of Cali fornia, where he has been one of the most popular and stimulating members of his de partment; now Harvard has him. Harvard, in contrast to California, is still willing to judge a man upon his own merits rather than upon his willingness to crawl upon his knees." io Wonder... bullets and all.

He spoke of honesty in politics - "Idealistic words for a politician," you say? Perhaps - and vat wa have a feeling that he meant them - and we have ,a feelf that he will accgmy;ish this honesty. This feeling was not brought about by his words - we are not naive enough to realize that prac tically all politicians speak well - aio i.&use bf his personality --most politicians have good per sonalities - but because we have heard of some of his past policies and actions. During his brief stay thus far in the state house, he has voted op posite to some measures that would be to his personal advantage had he gone along with the crowd. These votes could hurt him, should he choose to run again, since they disagreed with the "powers that be" in the state. He has also made attempts to find out where state appropriations would go by inspecting institutions which are asking state money. These are just a few of the things he has done - but they are encouraging signs that South Caro lina's government is improving. We trust that he will not lose these ideals as he grows older. The purpose of this column? Only to tell of an encouraging note and to urge the students to work, as he has done, for better govern SPRING BA( (A Dormite They gave us a bed and They gave us a desk and They gave us a closet w We filled'it up and they They gave us a radiator The steam came througi There's a phone on the,a That buzzes like Wadial We found a place where And a lamp, and a clock And they ain't said Boo But they somehow won Why won't they trust u They dam sure DON'T With the H.O... 3ging Note ment.

If you aren't old enough to vote, you can urge others to vote - you can attend ward meetings - you can campaign for better men to be put in office. Sone years ago, several students were partly responsible for causing some unscrupulous politicians to be put out of office in the city of Co lumbia. They proved that it could be done. If they could accomplish this, think what 2,800 determined students could accomplish in the state - if they cared enough. The ridiculous scandals of politics as they now stand could be done away with. And remember this - in addi tion to all else, better politics would give us a greater Carolina.' WE'VE ENJOYED ... We've enjoyed praising some thing, today, and in that tone we'd like to give our congratulations to those responsible for the painting of Rutledge and Desaussure. We hope the other buildings get the same treatment. There have been complaints about the color of the paint (a cross between battleship gray and army khaki in which the battleship won) but there are not many colors one can paint these buildings and this is about as good as any.

Registrar Active Many things concerning this have been learned by us since that time. First, the university, under the guidance of Henry 0. Strohecker, registrar, is actively contacting pro. spective students. High.Schools Visited Mr. Strohecker explains the procedure as follows: After contacting the various high schools throughout the state, he receives an invitation to appear at each high school on a par. ticular date. Mr. Strohecker acknowledges each invitation and asks a faculty member to get up a deputation consisting of three or four students to represent the university. At each school the Carolina professor addresses the pupils who are interested in colleges. He also distributes pamphlets, shows an interesting photo display, and answers questions concerning Carolina life, curricula, and requirements. Cards are given to those students who are interested in attending Carolina on which they state the particular de partment that they are interested in. Upon return, these cards are given to the designated department head who writes a personal letter to the student requesting informa tion. Good Results Carolina has contacted the students of more than twenty five high schools through this procedure this year. Surely the results have been felt. The registrar says that the president and members of the faculty have been most cooperative in this project. We are immensely pleased at the fine work being done along these lines. "It involves a great deal of work on the registrar's part, but I am only too glad to do it because it's for the good of the University," Mr. Strohecker said. "We believe that in time this will lead to the possible development of a full-time man for public relations," he continued. Public Relations Man Needed Now this is what we are driving at. Of course, money is what is probably holding the university back in this project, as in most others, but still we can see that it would be readily worth the salary of a man who would do nothing but go from high school to high school as well as send out correspondence to these prospects. Why Why is this needed? First it would ease the burden of the registrar and members of the faculty. But even more impor tant, there would be one man to send to these schools who would be a polished speaker, with a pleasing personality who would know all phases of university life. This public relations man would have made a complete study of all departments of the university and would be able to answer all questions concerning this institution. Follow Citadel's Lead The Citadel has acquired a full-time man for this purpose as a part of its expanding public relations program. Surely it is hoped that Carolina can follow suit in the immediate future. Jackie Southerland Pass The Worms I'm beginning to develop an in- Ia h it mteglwt feriority complex.
