S asV " Campus A lobbyist who was opposing any 4 large appropriation for a state col- ] lege approached a legislator who boasted of his self-education. "Do you realize," asked the i portly lobbyist gravely, "that up at the state college men and women have to use the same curriculum?" The legislator looked startled. 1 "And that boys and girls often matriculate together." "No," exclaimed the law-maker. The lobbyist came closer and whispered, "And a young lady stu dent can be forced at any time to show a male professor her thesis?" The legislator shrank back in horror. "I won't vote 'em a damn cent!" " " " Slowly, her eyes glowing softly, the young co-ed raised the glass on high, exulting: "Port wine to me is the nectar of the gods, the i elixir of life. When I imbibe its i fluid, my very soul begins to throb f and glow. The music of a thousand muted violins whispers in my ear, d and I am transferred to the make i believe world of magic.

The students who are now pre siding in the orientation classes are Barbara Blackwell, Pat Davis, Robert Wilkins, William Wilson, James Abert, Frank Drucker, Ed ward Glenn, Bill Gibbes, Sylvia Berry, Betty Bellinger, Mary Bloodworth, Nancy Lackey, Pete Edwards, Elizabeth Lewis, and William Powell. Also, Neuland Collier, Mark Fos er, Madelyn Campbell, Fred Dun lap, Joseph Bull, Earle Hayes, Samuel Goforth, Robert Raiford,1 Bill Novit, John Bodenheimer, 4 Reubin Thornton, H. B. Allison,. Miller Lide, Siamma~ Rentz, Leo MacCourtney, Frances Hagood, Charles Ferguson, and Tommie Herbert.{ The first step in the processs of being an orientation teacher was to volunteer. But, one wouldn't have been accepted after volun teering if he had not had seventy five credits prior to the fall term. The steps following were aptitude tests for teaching, personal inter views with three separate mem bers of the faculty committee on personnel service, and a review of previous college grades of each candidate. By this time a rating had been reached, and those with the highest scores became teachers. Students who had taught before were not in competition. The group which made this pos sible was the Student Personnel Service and Orientation Staff, con sisting of Professors McCall, chair man; Bradley, Brubaker, Childs, dle Gravelines, Hoy, Nelson, Novak, and Walsh. $250,000 Student Union Building Discussed By KSK The first regular meeting of KSK was held at five o'clock yes terday afternoon, President Paul Field announced. The group dis cussed the possible construction of a Student Union Building for the university. The proposed structure would be erected at an expense of $250,000 to the University. This building would contain various facilities for students' use after and between classes. Kappa Sigma Kappa is a local leadership fraternity with member ship based on student campus ac tivities.

S. -- For- your conve rlglu* here on em Exchange S Customs St] By BARBARA THOMPSON Feature Editor Perhaps it has never occurred to us students here at Carolina tha.. the everyday customs that we take for granted would ever seem strange or even wonderful to any one else. However, four students from Palestine, Germany, and China think that our American dating customs, our informality, and our styles of clothes are tops. Kamal Mobarak, a pharmacy student from Palestine, finds the American students extremely friendly and helpful. However, he finds that our dating etiquette is very, different from. that of his native homeland. In fact, the stu dents in Palestine never have dates! The only way that boys get to know the girls is through affili ations with the parents of the girls. When a boy decides that he wishes to marry a certain girl, 'he goes to her parents and asks their per mission. In turn, the parents ask the girl if she is willing to marry the boy. But Kamal says, "I like the American custom much better. In fact it has become a familiar thing to me since I have been at Carolina." For recreation in Bethel, Kamal and his friends played soccer, the European football game. "The only difference in this way and the American way" says Kamal, "is that we play only with our feet, while the Americans use their hands." Another favorite pastime of Kamal's is working with his stamp collection. So far he has seven valuable stamps, one dating back to 1873. When asked how he obtained all of these stamps Kamal replied, "Oh, I write to girls in many different countries and they send me stamps." Another newcomer to our cam pus is Waltraud Retsch from Erlangen University in Nuerm berg Germany, who has come to the University through the ex change program. Enthusiastic over her arrival in the United States and her entrance to Carolina, Wal traud says, "I just love it! I like the informality and the friendli ness of the American students. The I Rat Caps Symbol Of Sehool Spirit; - Wear With Dignity Nearly 450 rat caps have been sold by KSK, local service fra ternity. Proceeds from this sale will be used for their scholarship fund. The remaining 150 caps may be obtained outside the rear of Maxcy between the hours of ten and twelve each morning. All freshmen must wear a rat cap until after the defeat of Clem son at the State Fair classic. Should Clemson be the victor, the garnet and black headpieces must ,be worn until after the Wake Forest game. Rat caps symbolize the class and school spirit of Carolina and should be shown the reapect and dlignity which they deserve.

In explqining the exchange sys- a tem, Waltraud made this praise of g the program, "I think that it is a wonderful thing. Although the cus toms of nations may differ, the d people are the same. They are all d human and they are all alike. I am happy that I have had this s opportunity to meet so many people." However, there was one thing tl that perplexed the pretty German tl girl-the American dating system. C She cannot understand why the h; girls place so much emphasis on , dating many different boys. "In cl Germany we have only one boy- al friend, and when a boy begins to r4 take a girl out, he usually has m serious intentions," she explains. A A third foreign student is Renate a] Oat, also from Germany. Majoring e: in English and American History, _ Renate finds that the American - school curriculum is very different from that of the German schools. "In high school we have to take everything offered, math, biology, physics, and everything. In fact, we have to graduate in all the courses. When we get in college we take only two courses, our majors. How ever," explains Renate, "we have one advantage. We can attend class when we wish. The professors never check on us and they don't care how many cuts we take." After spending four weeks in Alabama, Renate found that the South was even more beautiful than she had expected. "It is not all cotton fields like I had thought, but the countryside is very beau tiful. Oh yes," she added, "I have really learned to like grits and Gamecoc To use the vernacular . . .
