Faculty Sketch Book Prof. Charles F. Martin University astronomy Professor Charles F. Martin is a man whose interests truly range from the ground up. Although he de votes most of his time to the observatory, he spends his leisure time in his rose garden. Professor Martin, known to his students as "Admiral," started his education at the College of Charleston in 1910, where he grad uated with a degree in math. Four years later, he entered the ucs Naval Academy of Annapolis. Upon graduation from the Academy Ca he was commissioned as an Ensign. While in the Navy, Admiral Je Martin was the head of the Department of Submarines and Torpe does at the Submarine School in New London, Connecticut. While hel teaching he wrote the textbook on submarines used by the school he for more than 25 years. In 1927, lie took a post graduate course far in law at George Washington University in Washington, D. C., wa graduating with a Bachelor of Law Degree. He was appointed for Commadore towards the end of World War II. Upon retirement from the Navy in 1946, he was made an Admiral. f Professor Martin, began teaching math at Carolina in 1947 cai and taught for three years until he was asked to take over coi astronomy. set Professor Martin has now been teaching astronomy for 12 foi years, and we hope he will be here for at least 12 more. the da set, Little Audrey let (Continued from page 4) chi Mi and Carol Sowers, Bill Davis and Pat Valtouse, Robert Lee mi and Ann Goller, Ty Cobb and Jean Carter, Ken and Beverly nei Baker, John Stevenson and Harriet Dorman, Tom LAnker tel and Ellen Travers. thi SHE'S GREEK TOO an Now, since she's pinned . . .

Following is my contribution: sei It has been said that television allots no desirable viewing orl hours to educational and intellectual programs. This is simply off not so. For instance, you can see "The Kant and Hegel Hour" th( every day at 4 a.m. This excellent show is followed at 5 a.m. ma by "Kierkegaard Can Be Fun." For such lazy scamps as lie abed beyond that hour, there is a splendid program on Sunday " mornings at 7:15 called "Birds of Minnesota, Except Duluth." th< So much for the myth that TV gives no prime time to edu- Be eational programs. Now let us deflate another canard: that TV po is not eager to inject intellectual content in all its programs. wi If you have sat, as I have sat, with a television planning "P board, you would know that the opposite is true. I was priv- tht ileged recently to witness a meeting of two of TV's topmost it program developers--both named Binkie Tattersall. col "ilinkie," said Binkie to Binkie, "if there is one thing I ing amt bound and determined, it's that we're going to have intel-] lectual content in next season's programs." sel "Right!" replied Binkie. "So let us put on our thinking als caps and go to work." tCo "I forgot my thinking cap in Westport," said Binkie, "but u I have a better notion: let us light a Marlboro." tiv "But of course!" cried Binkie. "Because the best way to thi think is to settle back and get comfortable, and what is the ti cigarette that lets you settle back and get comfortable?" "I saidl Marlboro," answered Binkie. "Weren't you listening?" "A full-flavored smoke is Marlboro," declared Binkie. "Rich tobacco, pure white filter, a choice of pack or box. What is better than a Marlboro?" "A Marlboro and a match," replied Binkie. "Got one?" Binkie had, and so they lit their good Marlboros and settled back and got comfortable and proceeded to cerebrate. "First of all," said Binkie, "we are going to avoid all the old clich6s. We will have no domestic comedies, no westerns, no private eyes, no dleep sea divers, nq doctors, and no lawyers." "Right!" said Binkie. "Something offbeat." "That's the word-offbeat," said Binkie. Trhey smoked and cerebrated. "You know," said Binkie, "there has never been a series about the Coast and Geodetic Survey." "Or about glass blowers," said Binkie. *They fell into a long, torpid silence. l'ou know," said Binkie, "there's really nothing wrong with a clich6 situation-provided, of course, it's offbeat." "Right!" said Binkie. "So let's say we do a series about a guy who's a family man with a whole bunch of lovable kids who play merry pranks on him." "Yeah, and he's also a cowboy," said Binkie. t "And a deep sea diver," said Binkie. "With a law degree," said Binkie. "Plus an M.D.," said Binkie. . "And he runs a detective agency," said Binkie. "Binkie," said Binkie to Binkie, "we've done it again!" They shook hands silently, not trusting themselves to speak, and lit Marlboros and settled back to relax, for Marlboro is a cigarette not only for cerebration, but for settling back with in fact, for all occasions and conditions, all times and clime., all seasons andl reasons, all men and women.- ~e ,a em...

Gets 3dicine Wiarty said that her hobbies are rking around campus, and try r to give something to Carolina, is brings us to her pet peeve, it can be called that. Marty es not think much of people io take no interest in the Uni rsity. "College gives us so much, at we could never start to givc If of it back, but we can try, d service to the school is the Marty Sheheen at way. Another good way is rough RSVP. I guess that's one the reasons I enjoyed working th it so much. Another thing it I don't like are peop)le who ipe about the way things are ng done, and then do nothing to prove on these ways. The peo w~ho gripe are usually the ones 10 do nothing." Of the foreign countries that e has visited, Hawaii is her vorite. Marty described it in ly two words, but those t.wo rds seemi to fill the bill. To her waii is "just beautiful." Mdarty said that in the Philip ies school hours are really irl). Because of the heat, school ly lasts from 7:30 to 12:30. iere's only one problem, the iools over there are equivalent the higher grades over here. r example the fifth grade over Phone A For Professiona Cornell Arms Personal it Our ?

"The weather in the Philippines is beautiful. You can go swimming on Christmas day. It's really gorgeous, except during the rainy seasonl . . . which is about sib months of the year. I remnember one time that it rained. The rair seeped in the walls of the house and we had to walk up the stairs with an umbrella." But it's bad luck to oIpen an umbrella in the house. .! .\arty likes semi-chassical music, like that of the Four Freshmen. She also likes p)opular music, the kind you can dance to, and she loves to dlance. in fact, in the lady's own words, "I'd almost rat her dance than talk." It 'seems that Marty rat her en joys conventions. Last fall she and some others from USC at tended the St udent Union Con vent ion att the University of Vir ginia. She has only one thing to say about this, and that is it was "really very educational" A not her c'onve'ntion that she attend~ced was the Newvman Club convention in Florida. "We had so much fun on that, and Florida is really beauti f ul. 1L 3-0432 I Beauty Service Beauty Salon y Styles by ;tylists LODELING CLASS >lumbia Model ROUQU IE FOR USC COEDS HAIR CARE -~ MAKEUP Pauty Conatests, Girls! thooI of Dance sopping Center Columbia . C. It seems to be the general con census that when Marty was So ciety Editor, she was a "slave driver." Really, we don't think you were a Simon Legare, that's just your nature. No, no, not the guil lotine, please! When Marty and Mike were babies, Marty's mother made bows and taped them on poor lil' girl's bald head so that people would know that she was the girl and not Mike (who had a beautiful head full of ringlets). That story comes from Michael Sheheen, so you'll have to ask him about the validity of it. Before Marty left the interview for a meeting she said, "Cocky's crowing . . ." That seems to be the password around Carolina now. To find out why, see the next edition of the "Gamecock," but be sure not to ask Marty. She might throw you out on your ear.

The wind is still nippy, but warm weather will soon be upon us. Meanwvhile we are ('aught in the "in-betwveen" time wvhen winter clothes are get ting dull and tiresome. F'or the changeable wveather' we're having right now, may wve suggest a light wool pleated skirt and an oxford cloth blouse with a round or button down collar and three-quarter length sleeves. For' those windy days, take along your shetland sweater. Tops on this spring's fashion parade are the collarless shirt waist dresses, culottes, and the A shaped skirt. Casuel clothes are striking a practical, easy--to-keep tone in striped seersucker and hopsacking dresses. The accessories include straw or burlap bags with leather trim and the ever-popular "weejuns" and "tennie pumps." Hemp or madras belts also provide light, fresh touches. Add a dash of a scarab or charm bracelet, and you're off I
