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

EDUCATIONAL TV: ITS CAUSE Ka
AND CURE ori
sei
A great deal of nonsense has been written about educational me
television. 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...

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."

"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

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.

In-Between Blues
Are Here Again!!
There is just a faint touch of
spring in the air. 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
