Shirley Na By Regina Galgano The interview with Bill Shirley started off very hectically as he wandered around the office for a couple of hours without notice. When someone finally noticed him, he was ushered into the office where he proceeded to give me a story about the Drill Team. After a long dissertation on the Navy, we both discovered that we were talking about two different inter views. Bill then gave the Drill t Team story to someone else and t started telling me about his life, which was what I wanted to know I in the first place. John William Shirley was born in Greenville, but moved to Bel- I ton, S. C., when he was about five I or six. lie then s;aid that his interests were tennis, tennis, tennis. When he wias fifteen he won the state tennis championship. Then he t gradually lost interest in the sport and his interest in it resumed this year. All of a sudden he said, "This chair is comfortable. But I really do like tennis." Bill claims that tennis is not only fun, but is I also good exercise. Among his other interests are I the Navy and the freshman Drill I Team, Freshman Drill Team, and 8 the Freshman Drill Team. Bill s really takes great interest in his Drill Team. They have staged i: quite a few exhibition drills this I year. He admits quite frankly that f he is very gung-ho on the Navy o and thinks his drill team is superb. a Shirley, we quite agree with you. k The drill team has proved quite outstanding. t CAMPBELL'S PHARA Cornell DRUGS - SCHO NOTIONS - SOD LUCKY STRIX presents: "CL ''We/I, well, wel, burn-the-dean-in-eff "I'm we/I aware, 'Hoc 48 points against~ you scored only 46 C CHANGE TO CA.

Bill would like o go to the Nuclear school in few Haven, Connecticut for his raduate studies. In connection ith his Chemical Engineering, he s a member of the A. I. Ch. E., nd Tau Beta Pi. Among his other activities, he eaches a Sunday School class ol en-year-olds in West Columbia -le enjoys this and has had som( nteresting times with these chil. Iren. Other interests include Mirian loss, to whom he is pinned, anc ias been since a year ago lasi Fanuary 30th. "If I forgot that ] vould lose my head." Bill is a member of ODK, Con niss and Chart, Honor Board, anc he judicial council. He has als( erved as Prosecutor on the I.F.C .ribunal. The old expression, "Al vork and no play makes Jack F lull boy" does not apply to Bill n the first place his name is nol lill, and in the second place he s treasurer of Chi Psi fraternity le w a s awarded outstanding Pledgo of Chi Psi, and served aF ecretary of same (luring hi ophomore year. Bill stated quite plainly that hk s a Republican, is against the ederal Aid to Schools Bill, and ree aid to nations. He is in favoi f lessening the National Debt nd thinks that people should now more about the military.

After "Uncle Jack's Joke Session" we got on with the interview. One of the reasons that Bill is so interested in the Navy is that he came to Carolina on a Naval Scholarship. An interesting thought is that, Bill 5 even though Bill is a junior, with senior hours, he is one of the few juniors who have been elected to "Who's Who In American Colleges and Universities." This is, needless to say, quite an achievement for a junior. But it is quite plain to see, from his numerous accomplish ments, why he was chosen. Bill has some very serious ideas 'I: "NOBODY LEAVES THIS DORM TILL WE FIND OUT WHO PUT SPAGHETTI IN THE PROCTOR'S BED!I "There, there, Dean LegrE many of the boys are fon R. Supposing that after you'vei ugh money left for Luckies. Wha help you. That's what the Deani students smoke more L.uckies t ~et a part-time job.

This is quite i true. Bill thinks that the Univer- 1 sity should incorporate a plan by which drills could be staged. He 1 said that many colleges have tried this and it has worked quite ef fectively. This is a serious subject x... m t t r Wbrlev t if you will just think about it for a moment. Where would you go if' we had an atomic attack ? Just an interesting note, but did you know that Bill likes to play with tinker toys? In fact, he played with some over the holi days. It took him two hours to make a draw bridge. Seriously, he does think that they are very ed "THE DEAN" e. /'m sure d of you." ~aid all your fees, you t do you do? You go to s there for.

Speaking of children, Bill haE rother who is fourteen, and ji n case anyone is interested irother in electrically inclined. Oh,! Bill informed me that kes to ski. In fact, Miriam tauf din how last summer. He a dded that since she taught h ow to ski, he is going to teE ier how to play tennis, "if I e, ret time." Bill likes the Twist, and iates rush. As far as he is c< erned rush could be gotten oi vith in five minutes. Well, i eally that fast, but he does thi hat the off-campus rush part Lre unnecessary, and that I noney spent on that could be sp( in better things. When Bill was he National Chi Psi conventi ast summer, he talked with soi 'oys from other chapters, and tl aid their rush is similar to I dea presented above. Just a note about the Chi I onvention, "We ate and ate a te. One night we started eati t 6:00 and finished about 9: Ve didn't even have any speak4 hat night." That sounds li soome" convention. Bill likes classical music. sked me to not ask him a ames because he doesn't listen he names, just the music. He a ikes music that changes in to \ll this came out during a c< rersation about stereos. By I vay, Bill built his girl a stereo or Christmas, it even works. act, it works quite well. I asked Bill if he'd ever had a -mbarrassing moments, and af en minutes of concentrated thii ng he decided that he didn't kn > any that I could print. As natter of fact he couldn't ei hink of any, printable or not. W it least we know he isn't emb assed very easily. Bill, for some reason, announ< ,hat he has a very bad teni watch out, everybody. If you h blast in the Russell House, tl you know it's Bill blasting I rticle. A bit of philosophical i rom0n1 him, "A temper is a v ,uod thing to have, always k t.'" From this point in the int iew we started talking about i ind everything. After a while I >olitely informed me that started talking when he was< md hasn't stopped talking sir 3ill, this wasn't meant as a c >ut you said I could print it. 'act, he said that once he sta alking about something that rea nterests him, he could talk fr ow until doomsday. Like to: 'ou try it, Shirley. It must ome feat. After wve talked for a fewv m< ninutes someone' came in and s. hat they thought Bill was bec ng part of the fixtures in1 'Gamecock" office, so wei trapped himi from the chair, a mnlocked the door and let him. 3y the wvay, if you walk into 'Gamecock" office and see F hen we too will believe that ins become part of the fixtut hut oh, wvhat nice furnishings mow have up here.
