New Receptionist By C By "JINX" WILSON "There's a boy at Carolina whose name starts with 'B.' He lives over that way. Where can I find him?" "Here's a bottle of vaccine I want kept cold. Can you help me?" Such questions as these are rapidly becoming everyday routine to Mrs. Nell Echer Pritchard, the new receptionist and purveyor of information at the info desk in Maxey College. A native of Columbia, Mrs. Prit chard has spent much of her life in cities far removed from her old home tovn. After earning her A.B. at Winthrop College, she taught English in Wardlaw Junior High School for a year.

While in the Navy she was stationed in New York City, and says she enjoyed her work there more than the various other positions she has held. Mrs. Prit chard's experiences were so varied, however, that she finds it hard to compare one job to another. The brown-haired, blue - eyed woman has finally "come home to roost," however, and is a graduate student at Carolina. As soon as she prepares her thesis, she will receive her M.S. Degree in Eng lish. "Although. Carolina is smaller than most universities I have visi ted, the school spirit is much stronger. By school spirit, I don't mean only the football spirit, but the all-over feeling that the stu dents hold for the school," opined Mrs. Pritchard, who also said that being from Columbia has little to do with her impression of Carolina. Mrs. Pritchard is replacing Miss Jane Brooks Marshall, who has left with the America4i Red Cross for Korea, where she will set up a recreational club for troops there. Miss Marshall is a graduate of Carolina's School of Journalism.
