Although you ma, e not find the latest in glass-blow ing kits there, you can count on i friendly reception from the folki a working in various ground rooms Those who patronize the Russel House are often greeted by nam by these business managers an< their helpers, who make it a poin to cater to Carolina students Their interest often goes far be yond just learning a student'i name. So, to turn the tables for i change, here's a brief sketch o: some of the personalities that ar4 employed on the ground floor. Watch The Starch! Our tour begins in the laundry where we are greeted by Mrs Francis Powell and Mrs. Maybell Jones, both wearing glasses an< smiles. Mrs. Powell, a Columbit native, has been managing varioui branches of the Dixie Laundry foi 20 years. Mrs. Jones has beei assisting her at Carolina for fiv4 months. Currently, they have n4 student help. "Carolina boys are particulai about their shirts," claim thes4 two ladies. "In dry cleaning, the want an Ivy league press." Hov are they able to call so many stu dents by name? Mrs. Powell an< Mrs. Jones attribute their abilit to good memory and to the im pressions that people make oi them. - Next stop is the post offici Its "organized confusion" i under the direction of Mr. Jo Lawrence, who is aided by a clerl Miss Mary Francis Fayard, an six student assistants. "Our busi est time of the year is at the b( ginning of fall term and aroun Valentine's Day," said Mr. Lav rence. He appears quite unruffle by all the activity surroundin, him. Campus Shop Now we're entering the Campu Shop where the manager is M1 Marion Dantzler. His assistant i Mrs. I'Ans Daniel, whose stunnin jewelry c a t c h e s the eye. Mri Pearl Garren is cashier and Mr Betty Holloman acts as jack-ol all-trades. The policy of the Can pus Shop is to "buy with th students in mind." Here's the barber shop, whic has the latest in reclining chair and wallpaper. Crew-cutting awa are Mr. Ray Crosby, manager, M te-have aI BI st mok! Reception David Johnson, Mr. Paul Con - nell, and Mr. Bobby Gause. A x forthcoming addition to the bar 3 ber s h o p is an air-conditioner, which should help to eliminate some of the heat. Do these men perform any serv kes other than cutting hair? "We t trim a few beards around Old South," replied Mr. Crosby, "but usually we do regular work." Chow Time L Also on the ground floor are the F Cockpit and the Athletic Diner 3 Room. The Cockpit was originally a recreation room. Since it was rarely used in that capacity, it was converted into the present canteen. Here, Mrs. Jane Withers is familiar to many students. The Athletic Diner Room is an eating place for football players only. It I has a seating capacity of sixty; however, ninety persons can pass between its rails. r Now we pass through the lobby with its own yellow square bench, ! which serves as a convenient rest ) ing or meeting place. Occupying a place of prominence is the stu 7 dent bulletin board, which adver tises everything from the latest movie attractions to the latest in , roommates. It completely over . shadows the Air Force ROTC bul letin board, which faces it. , The last stop on our tour is the - Russell House cafeteria, where 1 Mr. George Troup, a good-natured Scotsman, is in charge. Mr. Troup switches the help around to vari " ous rooms, and has many student 5 helpers. e Early To Rise Cliff Farr is the head baker and he is assisted by six others. The bakers begin work at two o'clock d in the morning while the cooks be g gin a, four. Among the student help are the cashiers, Edna, Nita, and Mary. Serving as "back-up boys" are s Don, Bob, and Jack. Joe tends - to the ice and juices while Philip is usually seen with a pot of hot 9 vegetables in his hand. Mille cooks 3. the eggs and offers advice to I- troubled students, assisted by - Marie. There are many more e Slater workers. h Our tour has come to an end.

Things is kinda dead now that Rush Week is over. The reason I said this is because everybody has about had it. With things goin' the way they do right now, I bet it gonna be a long Moon from-Monday 'b e f o r e anybody touches any more cokes. Boy, I never seen such tired people in all my born days. I mean when the cats around here get tired ("cats" is college for "people"), they don't even make an effort to go to their classes. But don't worry none, cause they make up for it by spending extra time at the "Iloffbrau" studying Applied Chemical Mixtures. (Ila!) Well, anyway, I was talking to Ray the other day (which ain't no easy trick) and he told me all about the Air Force ROTC Band, i or he calls them "The Junior 1 i r d m e n 's Answer to Ray Charles" ). It turns out that wvhen you just haven't got nothing to do aroundl here, and the day happens to be a Thursday, you can find m o s t everybody on the campus M "Columbuas Finest" the perfect tailoring of the "Harburt Skirt" complimented by the "Country Shirt" An essential part of the college U.S.A. wardrobe . due to their wonderful tailoring and perfect fit.
