'Gamec Student Ct 'Norn;a,1X il BY JUDY KILLOVGi Feature *ditor An ever-growing segme4 o . Carolina, the married students, go rather unnoti4ed. They; ari rather cut 'off from th' 'suai social life of the campus. They generally live in apartments, either on or off campus. They raise their children, pay their bills, and act v4ry much as do most young married couples - with one exception either husband or wife, or both, is in college. Usually it is the husband in school, with the wife providing full or partial support for the family. Many of these couples have children. Most couples living on campus have maids to care for the children while their parents are gone during the day.' Interview To give a view into the lives of the married students, we have interviewed D o n n a and Tom Snyder, with occasional assist ance from Tommy Snyder, aged two and a half. The Snyder's five-room apart ment in University Terrace is neatly a n d attractively furn ished. One of the upstairs bed rooms has been made into a study for Tom. Signs of Tommy are recognized in such objects as the hobby horse in the living room. Donna and Tom are f r o m Cumberland, Md.

Athletic Scholarship Tom, a junior, is on an ath letic scholarship. He plays end for the Gamecocks, seeing quite a bit of action in the past season. Donna, an attractive brunette, works five days a week for Jeff Hunt Machinery, in addition to her household duties. And, so, to Tommy, a small boy with more energy than any body has a right to have. During t h e interview, Tommy alter nately ran around and around in the yard, and played tackle with his father on the living room floor. 'At first, he wouldn't come into the house. It was really a sight to see t h e 6'5" "Gamecock" photographer draped around the front door, waiting for Tommy to give up and come in. Tommy came in the back way. A Real Ham However, he finally decided that he liked having his picture taken and posed like a real ham. He soon had the photographer eating out of his hand. While we were there, Linda and Rodger Groves, a neighbor ing couple, came over to play bridge. This is one of the few social pleasures for which the Snyders have time. This is a down-to-earth couple, facing t h e responsibilities of marriage; but there is an under tone of the teasing that goes on in a family that is happy and at ease.

Mountaindale College, enroll ment 101, was having difficulty with getting their students signed up in the basic courses. Now Gus was a self-made man relieving the Almighty of a horri ble responsibility, say some-but r Annihilate P Sandwiches! gooey peanut butter on a nice, fresh slice of bread (sigh). Peanut b u t t e r sandwiches ? Sure. There seems to be some thing about that item of food that begins to haunt you, to penetrate the deepest concentra tion. Once you've tasted it, from then on you're caught in the clutches of an addiction for it. Peanut Butter Addict Far worse t h a n cigarettes, coffee, opium, marijuana, or any of those, peanut butter reaches to your very heart and soul. The intense desire to grab a peanut butter sandwich in your clammy, grabby little paw begins to tor ment you. Nothing can ease this insati able appetite for peanut butter. You H AVE to have it. You can't "go on the wagon"; each hour is painful. Peanut butter, peanut butter-, peanut butter. And then comes the newvs. ALL~ PEANUTS IN AMERICA HAVE TO BE DESTROYED.

Young Tommy lay session; sometimes this rope dini couldn't untie. is Crusade ge Affairs his interest in higher education was sincere. I was working as copy boy at the time, and I can remem ber Gus saying, in his dry droll tone: "Boy (he had mislaid my social security card, and my name had escaped him), you show me and eddicated man, and I'll show you a man who can write his own name." Chuckling at his native wit, he aimed an amicable kick in my direction and sent me scurrying for more copy. Gus' Plan Gus proposed a method of en rollment that to this day bears a part of his name (disGUSted). This plan consisted of printing only 50 enrollment cards for the 101 stuJents. The top ten students would be notified of their suspen sion for academic failure The professors would then rush around, taking advantage of the confusion to sign everybody up for 8:00 classes. The plan for making everyone pay during the hours of 12:00-1:00 p.m. (the lunch hour, seemed to work well, until it was discovered that the treasurer was in cahoots with the efficiency expert who dreamed the system up. Both were last seen heading for Mexico. After four days of mass confus ion, every student was enrolled in Mountaindale College, no one had classes after 9:00 a.nm., and the professors could go home and call hogs in their spare time. Modesty G;us refused to take credit for his master plan. "Shecks," said he, "glad to do anything I kin to ad vance larnin'." Gus even had the cast for his arm-broken in a play ful tussle with three outraged stu dents--signed by the mayor him self. "Well boss," said I, full of ca maraderie and good spirits from the night of frolic, "Guess you did your good deed for (lay." Blushing modestly, he knocked out two of my teeth with his cast, and said simply: Shaddup 'n git to work." ON CAMPUS Twco students sending mes sages th rough infirmary w'in dme to flu patient friend.

Well, you can go down to Housing and ask, or-you can read this and find out As of the moment, you won't get an apartment. They are all full, with 280 couples on the waiting list. There are 122 couples living in University Terrace, which in cludes all the buildings on the block behind the B. A. building. Carovet Apartments now house 106 couples; but are to be torn down this summer. These Caro vet buildings are relics of World War II, built as temporary gov ernment housing. These two numbers, aaded to gether, equal 228 couples living in University housing. Facilities Facilities? All utilities are furnished by t h e University, with stoves and refrigerators furnished at University Terrace. but not at Carovet. Prices vary with size and loca tion of apartments. At Univer sity Terrace, t h e apartments down the hill are less expensive than those in the three buildings formerly g o i n g under such aliases as Freshman Center and East Terrace. There are, in University Ter race, six efficiency apartments. These are composed of a kitchen, bath, and a bedroom-living com bination. They rent for $34 per month. Price Range Down the hill, one-bedroom apartments rent for $38; two bedroom, $42; a n d three-bed room, $48. Up the hill, a one bedroom apartment w i ll cost you $42; a two-bedroom, $48; and a three-bedroom, $54. The p r i c e differences are caused by the fact that the rooms in Freshman Center are much larger; and t h e r e are better facilities. Requirements for moving into the apartments are simple-in addition to having the money in your hot little hand and being on top of the waiting list. The h u s b a n d must be in school whether the wife is or not. He must be married and in school at the time of application. Discouraged ? Cheer up, you can always mn o y e in on the family! NEW COLUMN "T'he Gamecock" is trying to start a column expressly for married students. We hope to have a reporter in each of the University Terrace buildings to give us news.

Ozwina Tells Mom About Campus Life Dear Momma, Well, things have been a bit confused here on campus lately. All this past week, they cut our morning classes ten minutes short so they could have us at tend another lecture (actually, it was a series of lectures) on the subject of "Where is God ?" Maybe you can tell me, Mom ma. You're getting older now. Do you know where God is? Now I'm not saying that you're ancient or anything because 1 know that you're still 35, just like you keep telling everyone, but being 18 years older I am, you've had a little more time to forget. Can you give me an an swer? I really don't know what I'm going to do. We've only been in school a week now, and I'm al ready three weeks behind In my studies. Actually, I don't think it's fair for those old professors to give us so much homework. It's interfering with my dating anid sorority meetings. If the load doesn't get lighter, I'm just going to have to drop two or three, of my four subjects. It seems like I don't have any spare time to study any more. But that's about .all for now. Love and kisses, Oswina
