POVERTY CAN BE FUN
It is no disgrace to be poor. It is an error, but it is no disgrace.
So if your purse is empty, do not skulk and brood and hide
your head in shame. Stand tall. Admit your poverty. Admit it
freely and frankly and all kinds of good things will happen to
you. Take, for instance, the case of Blossom Sigafoos.
Blossom, an impecunious freshman at an Eastern girls'
college, was smart as a whip and round as a dumpling, and
scarcely a day went by when she didn't get invited to a party
weekend at one of the nearby men's schools. But Blossom never
accepted. She did not have the rail fare; she did not have the
clothes. WVeekend after weekend, while her classmates went
frolicking, Blossom sat alone, saved from utter despair only
by her pack of Marlboros, for even an exchequer as slim as
Blossom's can afford the joys of Marlboro-joys far beyond
their paltry price: rich, mellow tobaccos, lovingly cured and
carefully packed, and an exclusive selectrate filter. Croesus
himself could not buy a better cigarette!i
H owever, Marlboro's most passionate admirers -among
whose number I am p)aid to count myself-would not claim that
Marlboro can entirely replace love and romance, and Blossom
grew steadily nmoroser.
TIhen one day came a p)hone call from an intelligent sopho
more named Tomt O)'Shaniter at a nearby men's college. "BIos
Isom, " said TIom,, "I want you to come down next week for the
barleyt festiv al, and I won't take no for an answer."
"No, said Blossom.
"Foolish girl," said Tonm gently. "I know why you refuse
me. It is because you are poor, isn't it?"
"Yes," said Blossom.
"I will send you a railroad ticket," said Tom. "Also a hard
boiled egg in case you get hungry on the train."
"But I have nothing to wear," said Blossom.
Tomi rep)liedl, "I will send you one suit of cashmere, two gowns
of lace, three slacks of velvet, four shoes of calf, five socks of
nylon, and a p)artridge in a pear tree."
"Th'lat is most kind," said Blossom, "but I fear I cannot
dance and enjoy myself while back home my poor lame brother
TJiny Tlim lies abedl."
"8end him to Mayo Brothers and put iton my tab,"said Tom.
"You are terribly decent," said Blossom, "but I eannot
come to your party becauise all the other girls at the party
will be from rich, dhistiniguished families, and my father i. but
a humble woodcutter.''
"I will buy him Yosemite," said Tom.
"You have a great heart," said Blossom. "Hold the phone
while I ask our wise and kindly old1 Dean of Women whether it
is proper for me to accept all these gifts."
She went forthwith and asked the Dean of Women, and the
D)ean of Women laid her wise and kindly old hand on Blossom'.
cheek and said, "Child, let not false pride rob you of happinesh.
Accept these gifts from Tom."
"Oh, bless you, WVise andl Kindly," breathed Blossom,
dropping grateful tears into the Dean's reticule. "I must run
and tell Tomn.''
"Yes, run, child," said thme Dean, a smile wrinkling her wise
andl kindly old eyes. "And ask hinm has he got an older brother."

Few schools have had the good

State's Roman Gabriel. A Concen

almost legendary career as one of
the best quarterbacks ever to de
velop in this part of the country.
A strong candidate for post
season honors again this year,
Gabriel is currently leading the
ACC in total offense with 831
yards, despite his team's 3-5 rec
ord. No one-sided individual, he

rush toward a .500 record at
Raleigh tomorrow morning.
Playing in the Ilorning for the
Cirst time this year because of a
conflict with the N. C.-Duke game
at nearby Durham, the Birds will
try to keep the playing pitch they
reached inl recenlt games with
Marylamd and Ch-mllsonl.

With the play they displayed last
Saturday against Clemson.
State's offensive performance
w'ill depend largely upon the
aiout of help Gabriel receives
from running members of his
backfield. Coach Earle Edwards
has at times this year gone to
three sophormores toE run with
Gabriel on the first unit in an ef
fort to bolster his running attack.
l.ast year State's freshman
teamui was undefeated and one of
the principal reasons was a hard
running halfback named Carson
Bosher. lie was injured at the be
ginning of the year, but since his
return has become the rushing
leader for the Wolfpack.
Against this rather weak run
ning gane, the Gamecocks match
their one-two punch of fullback
Dick Day and halfhack Billy Gan
hrell. Together these boys have
rolled for 564 yards in eight
games and rank as the number
four and five hall carriers in the
Conference.
AXt the quarterback position, the
hormeteam claims the tops in the
ACC. A superlativ'e passer and
