Gather round, gang, it's tir

academic superiority, the ralsi1

exams are upon us.
Back when I was a coOy b

ic Students have the wrong idea

et by intensive studying which strains
their eyes and ruins their reflexes.
My friends, finals are just an in

nt
- What really counts in a course
is interest. Do you think that any
professor will feel kindly towards
a person that fills blue bouk after
blue book, thereby cutting into the
professor's valuable time? He
will not.
You just watch, the ones that
use a single blue book and write
a minimum of words will incur not
only the friendship of an economy
minded administration, but the
.everlasting gratitude of the pro
fessor.
These simple rules will be in
valuable in the taking of finals:

Exams
after all, only shows that 'you are
able to parrot some authority on
the subject.
Be original and witty . . . insert
little comments like, "Who was
that blonde you were out with last
night, you gay old blade you?"
This insures certain passing, -par
ticularly if the gay old blade was
Dut with a blonde the night before.
Second
Dress neatly. This not only
boosts your morale, but gives a
gentle lift to those around you.
Take a shower as a la3t resort.
Third
Most important, study the handy
exam guides that were published
as a public service previously.
Stock phrases show a professor
that you have a grasp of the situa
tion that extends beyond mere
book-learning.
Of the course the best of these
is: "Recent trends have definitely
shown earlier indications to be
somewhat inadequate." Science
and engineering students should
substitute "data" for "trends" be
cause of rather strict departmental
regulations on the subject.
Graduates Develope Fine Art
Some students prefer to quote
obscure authors as authorities on
various subjects, but undergrad
uates had best beware of this tech
nique, as the graduate students
have developed this to a fine art.
Best of luck on your exams, and,
to all male students intending to
follow these bits of advice I have
this to say: "Don't forget, there's
a place for YOU in Uncle Sam's
Army-see you at the induction
center."

American
By LARRY MAY
Feature Editor
The All-American "Gamecock"
has happily received for the
past four years, the Wilton E.
Hall Award Trophy for the best
all-around newspaper in South
Carolina.
Also, for excellence among
larger colleges, a gold trophy
was given for the second time
to the energetic, hard working,
members of the "Gamecock"
staff for the best college paper
in the state.
Excellent Work of Entire Staff
Without the help of the superb
staff, columnists, reporters, car
thonists, and splendid manage
ment of the editor, it would have
been impossible for the paper
to receive these trophies over
close following collegiate papers.
Individual awards for out
standing articles-news, sports,
features, book reviews, sketches
-have been given on numerous
occasions to deserving members
of the "Gamecock" staff.
The trophies rotate around to
the winning college newspaper
each year.
Awards Began in 1948
Beginning in 1948, the W. E.
Hall trophy wias won by P.C.'s
"The Blue Stocking," in 1949,
by the Clemson "Tiger," and the
"Gamecock" possessed it in 1953.
Again in 1954, the "Tiger"
accepted it and in 1955, the Fur
man "lIornet" received the
honor.
In 195, the "Gamecock" was
awarded the trophy, and has for
tunately kept it in their posses,
sion ever since.
Best College Paper
The best South Carolina col
lege newspaper trophy award
also began in 1948, won by Wof
ford's "Old Gold and Black,"
then by the "Tiger" in 1949. In

'AFF ... These two trophies were
splendid work put forth by the
or the best all-around newspaper,
i"Gamecock" for the second eon
their way from reporters to
leading positions on the staff.
There is no one person who does
it all.
There is more in the paper
than students see each week.
Much effort, skill, -and time is
required by all members of the
staff for each edition of the
"Gamecock."
University students, this is a
wonderful campus you are a part
of and remember that your own
Carolina "Gamecock" is ready to
print any articles for the stu

an outstanding All-American,
trophy winning "Gamecock."
BOOK
REVIEW
BLOW UP A STORM
Although the original title of
Garson Kanin's forthcoming novel
had to be changed because it
was pre-empted by the author
of a current book, Kanin took
the news cheerfully. He thinks
the new title, BLOW UP A
STORM is an even happier choice
for a novel about people in the
.azz coterie because it's part of
their own language.
Jazznmen say "let's blow up a
storm" when they're in a mood
to burst their hearts (and lungs)
to reach perfection.
PORGY AND BESS
A first p)rintHig of 500,000
cop)ies for a hard-cover book
merits the word "colossal"-and
thereby hangs the tale of a
p)ublisher and the two most pub
licized motion-picture produc
tions of the year. One house is
going to press with these print
orders for the hard-cover sou
venir programs of Samuel Gold
wyn's Porgy and Bess and
MGM's Ben Hur.
The p)rogram books will be
ready for the June 20th opening
of Porgy' in New York, and the
Fall '59 debut of Ben Hur. They'll
be sold at $1.00 in theatre lob
bies wherever the pictures are
shown in America and around
the world, with translations Into
altl languages.
