This was Libby Tim mons, a Carolina senior's, sum mer. She and a party of six sail ed June 30. She saw innumerable highlights -of the old world and also many an amusing sidelight that an average tourist would never come in contact with. The trip and extras were all possible because of an English woman with many friends and a iig heart. Mrs. Evelyn Righton was born in India where her fath er, a colonel in the British army, was stationed. She is the grand daughter of the late Sir Joseph Fayre, private physician to King Edward VII. Mrs. Righton trav eled to England several times in her youth and has made traveling her vacation. At first she took only the daughters of friends, but now she also takes other girls from the United States. On board ship the radio officers gave a party for the girls and they saw everything from the radio room to the engine room. The trip across was quite un eventful in comparison with the fast following events. At a party given by Mrs. Righton at the English Speaking Union, Libby met Bill, and London is a slight bit dearer to her now than per haps it might have been. No Rudder In Devon Libby and party stayed for five days at Crompton Castle. This small, 500 year old castle is still in the possession of Sir Humphrey Gilbert's ancestors. While at Cromipton Castle, Libby went for a boat ride aboard a Dartmouth Naval School boat. En route they saw several of the noted English Castles frqan the river. Not until they were at sea did the fun begin. Suddenly there was a loud noise--a rudder. had fallen off and there was no possible way to fix it. They re tracedi their steps rather pain fully but using first one motor BA LI OfficialI 1959 USC Ri A.B. a Total Price (Including 10 Pennyweigt, $26.95 - (Gfrla' ael for $19.75 14K Gold Can Be Also on Order Official FRED V 1S40 Senate - Cl Libby Timmons, senior, spent ith many added attractions such 6e rain In London. n Europe - Adventure MeKINNEY Vriter and then another. One delay led to another and they were two hours late for dinner with the Gilbert's, which is an unpardon able sin. The party spent one day at Stratford on the Avon, staying in the Shakespeare Hotel. The rooms in the hotel are named for Shakespeare's plays and for various characters In his plays. In Hendon they met the owners of three Tudor houses. When the houses were bought, the beams had been plastered over so the three small cottages were a real discovery. Climbing Sheriff Muir In Edinburgh, Scotland, Libby visited a Schola Regia-as con trasted to the village school of Devon. The boys enrolled were highly select and quite advanced. Five year olds were adding three numbers of two digits each. Of course Edinburgh Castle was the dominating feature of the city. Blain Drummond, by Stitling, the home of Sir John and Lady Muir is in the foothills of the highlands. There Libby made a "jolly good effort" climbing Sher iff Muir, a small mountain, in the rain. Life at Blain Drum-' mond is carried on in the style of old Scottish life. The high light here was a dinner party and dance. The dancing was strictly Scottish and the music was pro vided by a bagpipe. All the boys wore their kilts In the family plaid. At Buckingham Palace Back in London, Libby attend ed a formal Garden party at Buckingham Palace. The repre sentatives from countries in the British Commonwealth all wore their native costumes. A band played as tea and cakes were served to the huge throng which had come to see the Queen and the Prince of Edinburgh for the last time to formally present the debutantes of England. The un predictible English sun even man aged to shine for the festIvitIes. Jewelers ngs in Stock rd B.S. Taxes) For 10K Gold - 13 PennyweIght, S29.95 and must be ordered.)

MUSIC 2F AMERIC) Fi'om Bei Glass Ca By DAVE I Musie'A Van Cliburn's recent ..Invasion of Russia may well mark' a mil lenium in the recording Industry; for -the first time in history Tchaikovsky has out-sold Tequila. Why is it that rock 'n roll sells better than Rachmaninoff? The reason is simple and has become an iron-clad law: "if the kids can't bop to it, they won't buy the record." Neither will the kids listen to any radio station that doesn't program Top Forty Trash. One of the biggest puzzles to me is why do people prefer to listen to second-rate music? I'm not condemning, I'm wondering. Musically speaking, R&R is as close to nothing as one can get . . . it's called the Big Beat The Queen and the Prince mingled informally with the crowd for some time before adjourning to their place of honor. Before she left England, Libby managed to walk all over Lon don in the sprinkling rain and to take an all afternoon boat trip down the Thames, under London Bridge, and on to Greenwich Ob servatory. * Ah, France France! The Flanders fields with poppies, the gaiety of Paris, the old sections of town; these, we feel, were not quite as fully enjoyed as those delightful days in England. The French food, however, was just exactly right, as Libby managed to gain about 10 pounds. The all-day trip to Montserrat, a Berdedictine monastary, in Spain was enjoyed in spite of the fran tic driving done by their guide. The route carried her through small towns, and along narrow, rocky roads which they shared with horse-driven carts carrying hay and the like. Barcelona Fiesta In Barcelona a Spanish Fiesta was in full swing. Everyone was celebrating.in the streets, danc ing, singing, and in general, hav ing a gay time. The Magic Foun tain held the attention of Libby and all the other girls, too. The fountain sprays forth a variety of water patterns, each pattern con stantly changing form and color. After seeing a bull fight, it seem ed impossible to believe that in Barcelona a bull fight was spon sored to raise funds for the S. P. C. A. Libby enjoyed seeing danc ing common to all regions of Spain and visited several typical Spanish night clubs, spots that the average tourist never sees. In Rome Libby explored the ruins of the Baths of Caracalla. These old Roman public baths now form the world's largest amphitheater. The operas pre sented are always romantic and seem even more so in this ancient outdoor setting. She browsed for a time in the Colosseum and the Forum. The shopping spree in a Roman dime store was fas cinating. For 98c, Libby was BOOKING DRESE The fe 'l 34 EH&-RUJAl The esm.th .esIeating Mac gay entane eloak roome, Equipped ti h. moot mi pleet air conidtoqed for year r Tuse the MERUJAN aind The BLEDSOE ialyst because there is nothing else. One thing can be said for it, it -is easy to listen to. By that I mean there's no strain on the brain, the rhythms are about aa subtle as a charging hippo. I think that we-as a country have become completely depen dent on outside sources to tell us what to listen to. Have you ever thought about the songs that are written that are never heard? All because someone, somewhere, decided that another tune would go on the Top Forty.- Formerly, the disc jockey was king, if his music wasn't liked, tune in an other one. Dave Garroway came on with: "It's Jazz, if you don't like it, the knob to the left turns it off." A case in point: The Hi-Lites came out with "Beach Baby." It 'was, I'm told, a big hit-made the Top Ten and all. Big deal, it was played by a top Southwestern station as the record "least likely to succeed." All of which is not knocking the Hi-Lites or "Beach Baby." It stands on it's own merit, but it does. prove how people can be told to like something . . . then, according to how strongly they're told' to like it, they'll buy the record. I I've had my say, and gotten it off my chest . . . glass-cages overdrive-ins nothwithstanding. I don't like the music that is being played-in the most cases-over the air. So there. By the Way, Let's all support the Current Artist Series. This is a much-needed feature at Caro lina, and seems an excellent start ing point for a new auditorium. able to purchase six articles about a $2.50 value in the U. S. She and the other girls were so fascinated with the people that they ended up spending quite a long time there-just watching. Leaving Rome, Libby threw a penny into the famous Trevi Fountain. Florence was the shopping cen ter of the trip and Libby man aged to purchase enough linens to fill a hope chest. Her linens were made by two sisters who spoke not one word of English; Libby soon caught on to the knack of sign language. Of course, while in Italy she had to try an Italian hair cut, which is fine for Italians, but not greatly appreciated by Americans! Venice-Gondola Express In Venice everything--boxes, books, and people-went to the hotel by way of gondola. It was really a relief for Libby to be away from cars after such cities as London and Paris. She spent the nights listening to Italian music and liked it so well she bought several records. Upon re turning to the U. S., she was amazed to find that some of them, such as "Volorie," were popular here.

Main Street - Columbia, S. BOOK REVIEW Portrait O* It is evident that this three dima'nslonal portrait of Greta Garbo, compiled .by John. Bain bridge, was done through extin sive research on his. part. Re searched -he life 9f thre.amious mystery lady of Swedon And cinte up with this biography. Miss Garbo's intimacies and private life are discussed openly enough to give any gossip plenty of material. The account leaves one cold at the end: even though it discusses Miss Garno extensively and time 19, she still remains mysterious and distant (as she is even be fore the book begins). Mr. Bain bridge has done "Portraits" in the "New Yorker" since 1938; it seems he could have revealed in "Garbo" something that would have kept this work from being an encyclopaedic account. For the reader who wants a verbal portrait of a mysterious woman overly described by ad jectives which make her more mysterious, this is what Mr. Bain bridge offers him; but, if the reader wants a revealing depict Sophmore Is Pledged By Delta Omicron Delta Omicron National Pro fessional Music Sorority held its first meeting of the semester last Wednesday at Leibr College with Addie Louise Wise, presi dent, presiding.

Imitating as women are, they changed from fun2y-haired, fat-cheeked, shinny-kneed crea tures to what they thought to be prototype of the Great Garbo. Her influence, as emphasized by Bainbi'dge, should not be under estimated. "Garbo" should be read only once, for if it were read more times she would be lost in the fog of obscurity forever. The geneological account and the description of Swedish con ceit is particularly lassitudinous. On the other hand, a complete list of Garbo's films with the casts of characters and premieres is compiled at the end of the volume by the author and adds a unique quality to the book as a w'hole. It might be interesting to note that in all her American films and most of her Swedish ones she had starring roles. It is evident that Miss Garbo gave the author no assistance. Even though she Is a citizen of the United States (obtained in 1951), her habitat is international. She flits from one continent to another with,little effort; in this way she escapes her followers. y Me Author of " "Barej ONCE MORE UN' Today begins my fifth year of v eventful five years it has been I not seen!
