Faculty Sketch Book Dr. Louis J. Maloof By Barbara Moore Since most of you are familiar with the crowd on registration day, then you will know what it was like when I went to interview Dr. Maloof. After waiting several minutes I decided that I couldn't waste any more time, so I fought my way through the maddening crowd of %students into Dr. Maloof's office. After receiving first aid for the injuries I had gotten from fight ing my way in, I began asking questions. Dr. Maloof is a native of Rome, Georgia and a former newspaper reporter and editor. He still considers himself a newspaper man in stead of a professor. He received his bachelor's and master's degrees ' from the University of Georgia. After World War II, during which he served as a Marine in the Pacific, he turned to teaching in Con necticut, North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. Dr. Maloof has written and edited several books and numerous magazine articles. He has contributed articles to magazines including Life, Time, Newsweek, and Leatherneck. He is the co-author of Social Problems, a textbook which is used in 150 colleges and universities in the U. S. He is currently co-authoring The Arab in Transition with Dr. Raymond E. Christ, of the University of Florida. An I. Q. test taken in 1947 and 1950 placed Dr. Maloof in the recorded top 10 percent of the world's most intelligent people. He contributed his success to the wonderful teachers that taught him in Rome, Georgia. Dr. Maloof is a winner of the O'Sullivan History Medal, the Photog raphy Award, and the Pi Delta Epsilon National Journalism Award. He is also founder of the National Regent, Levantine Clubs of Uni versity Men and Women. Dr. Maloof is in American Men of Science, Leaders In American Science, and Who's Who in America, WHICH proves he's not only popular with his students but with everybody. He is a member of the American, Southern, and Rural Sociological Societies, the American Academy of Political and Social Science, and the American Association of University Professors. He is a life mem ber of Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Kappa Phi, and Alpha Psi Omega. Dr. Maloof is well thought of by all who know him, whether they are students of his or just acquaintances. (He refuses to confirm or deny rumors that he will not return to the University of South Carolina next year. If the University loses Dr. Maloof next year they can really say they lost one of the best professors they ever had or ever will have.

Let us instead study hard, cram fiercely, prepare assidu ously. In this column today let us make a quick survey of English poetry. When we speak of English poetr, we are, of course, speaking of Byron, Shelley, and Keats. Zme say that of the three, Keats was the most talented. It is true that he displayed his gifts earlier than the others. While still a schoolboy at St. Swithin's he wrote his epic lines: If I am good, I get an apple, So I don't whistle in the chapel. From this distinguished beginning, he went on to write an other 40,000 poems in his lifetime-which is all the more remarkable when you consider that he was only five feet tall! I mention this fact only to show that physical problems never keep the true artist from creating. Byn, for example, was lame. Shelley had an ingrown hair. Nonetheless, these three titans of literature turned out a veritable torrent of romantio poetry. .Nor did they neglect their personal lives. Byron, a devil with the ladies, was expelled from Oxford for dippig Elisabeth Barrett's pigtails in an inkwell. He thereupon left England to fight in the Greek war of independence. He fought bravely and well,.but women were never far from his mind, as evidenced by this immortal poem: How splendid it is to fight for the Greek, While Byron fought in Greece, Shelley remained in England, where he became court poet to the Duke of Marlborough. (It is interesting to note in passing that Marlborough was the origi nal spelling of Marlboro Cigarettes, but the makers were unable to get the entire word on the package. With characteristic in gnuity they cleverly lopped ofthe final "gh". This of coure letthem with a "gh" lying around the factory. Tixey look for some place to put it and finally decided to give it to the Director of Sales, Mr. Vincent Van Go. This had a rather curious result. As plain Van Go, lie had been a crackerjack director of sales, but once he became Van Gogh, he felt a mysterious irresistible urge to paint. He resigned from the Company and became an artist. It did not work out too well. When Van Gogh learned what a great success Marlboro Cigarettes quickly be came-as, of course, they had to with such a flavorful flavor, such a filterful filter, such~ a flip-top box, such a soft pack-he was so upset about leaving the firm that he cut off his ear in a fit of chagrin.) But I digress. Byron, I say, was in Italy and Shelley in England. Meanwhile Keats went to Rome to try to grow. Who does not remember his wistful lyric: A lthough I am only five feet high, Some day I wilt look in an ele phant's eyje. But Keats did not grow. His friends, Shelley and Byron, touched to the heart, rushed to Rome to stretch him. This too failed. Then Byron, over the ladies' man, took up with Lucresia Borgia, Catherine of Aragon, and Annie Oakley. Shelley, a more domestic type, stayed home with his wife Mary, and wrote his famous poem: I love to stay home with the missus and write, And hug her and kiss her and give her a bite. Mary Shelley finally got so tired of being bitten that she went into another room and wrote Frankenstein. Upon reading the manuscript, Shelley and Byron got so scared they immediately booked passage home to England. Keats tried to go too but he was so small that the clerk at the steamship office couldn't see him over the top of the counter. So Keats remained in Rome and died of a broken heart. Byron and Shelley cried a lot and then together composed this immortal epitaph: Good old Keats, he might have been short, But he was a great American and a heck of a good sport. 0 ies s namwa..
