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.

Many Loves of Dobie Giell.", etc.)
CRAM COURSE No. 3: ENGLISH POETRY
Final exams will soon be upon us. This is no time for fun and
games. 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.
