Dig Then Man, Thel By LINDA CAUTHEN Gamecock Staff Writer If you've seen some "real gone" characters on the Carolina campus, wearing "crazy outfits" that come just above the knee, they're just getting in the swing of things with the current fad for Bermuda shorts. First observing the "creation," college students made such com ments as "they don't have it." Plaid, khaki, and in all sizes, Bermuda shorts gained in popu larity on many campuses in the . past year. The trend has grown so that in some colleges they are even worn to classes and social events. This year the Associated Col legiate press took a poll of what college students across the nation think will happen to the fad. The results indicate that 70 per cent of the students expect Bermudas to "catch on" with men, or women, or both. Some of the Southern colleges report that Bermudas are already "the thing." What will happen to the rage at USC? A poll taken here of 20 students indicated that 10 of the co-eds definitely liked them and only two were completely against them. The rest liked them on some people and some occasions. They are, however, more popular for the girls. The following were some of the comments: Mackie Prickett, St. Matthews, soph.: "I think they look right fancy on other people, but not on me." Helen Harris, Conway, Junior: "Men in shorts-'Puss in Boots' both look equally yell." Betsy Quinn, Lancaster, Fresh man: "I think they're silly on boys, but I guess they have as much right to wear them as girls." Charles Sheppard, Grover, N. C., Junior: "They are all right on the golf course, but on campus they look absolutely ridiculous." Harry Jo King, Lancaster, Freshman: "I like girls In Bermuda shorts, but the -boys bet ter cover up their boney knees." Mary Price, Charleston, Soph.: "The boys with pretty legs will get a whistle, but for sparrow legs, I advise against it." George Bomar, Rock Hill, Junior: "I think they should wear Bikini walking shorts definitely." Mary Alice Breeland, Walter boro, Junior: "I like them, and on girls they look better than German Student Requests Pen-Pal Dean of Men Jesse B. Jack -son recently received a letter from a boy in Germany, re questing correspondence with a - 4. student at the university. The letter follows: D)ear Dean: Please excuse my applying to you. I am 17 years old, and I have the wvish to correspond with a pupil of the same age in your school. I write because I amig ine a correspondence with an American boy would be very nice. I am interested In tech nical subjects, sports, and music. You will wonder why I ap plied particularly to you in Co lumbia. I simply looked into the @Atlas and picked out a city in the U. S. A. I hope it will not cause you too much trouble to put you in touch with one of your pupils. Thanking you in advance for your efforts. Hoping to receive an answer soon. I am, Max Nagel Address: A bs.

John Altman, Charleston, Senior: "I have among my friends many who wear them, but I don't especially like them." Carol Brandenburg, Bamberg, Soph.: "I like them. I think it would be a fine idea to wear them to summer school." Pat Coble, Greensboro, N. C., Junior: "For those who can't af ford the whole pair of pants, it's a pretty good idea." Jack Buckles, Kingstree, Soph.: "I think there is a time and a place for them and that place hasn't come yet."

Sumner Waite, Camden, Senior: "I think it is a fine idea. I think it is appropriate for coolness and good dress. Beautiful and good looking legi, are a prerequisite. Science Fair At University The Science Departments and the Extension Division of the university will hold the second State Science Fair in LeConte College on Saturday, April 30. Dr. .Julian J. Petty is in charge of the fair. Dri. Petty said that the purpose if the fair is to arouse an interest in science as a field of study on the p)ublic school level. "Although college attendance in America has been increasing, the number of students in the fields of science is remaining about the same," he said. About 100 exhibits are expected PHARMACISTS GO . ..
