Aside from being fun, the drop ns serve many useful purposes. Phey help new students become icquainted with other students and ,ven the ones who have been at ,arolina for longer periods meet iew people. The drop-ins give students a hance to talk to friends and to omplain about their hour quizzes .or the following Monday and the Iuizzes they had the past week. Phe drop-ins also give the starv ng a chance to get a bite to eat. Phis is the pleasant part, for with nost college students, Sunday ight meals are few and far he ween.

A cross section of the campus met and mingled together and-every one seemed to have a good time. Held Indoors and Out Now that summer has at last come to our campus the drop-ins will be held both in and out of doors, and when the weather is pleasant, it is so wonderful to be able to sit on a porch or lawn and enjoy the entertainment these events provide. If you haven't been going to the drop-ins, find the list of events in The Gamecock and attend the next one. You are certain to have a good time, and it will be a'refresh ing change from studying. You will be able to go back to your books with a clear mind. From the Stockton College school newspaper, The Collegian, comes the following editorial.
