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.

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. Donna and Tom Snyder
have made a home.

Gus Jones Lea
On Local Colk
By Staff Writer
By golly, I can remember the
time that ol' Gus Jones, editor of
the "Ozark Weekly News" went
on an editorial crusade about con
ditions at the local college.
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

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.

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."

Filled Now
How do you go about getting
University housing? 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.

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. Any volunteers,
ideas, advice, or contributions
will be greatly welcomed. Just

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
