You will be seeing two shapely, but distinctly individual blonds - the Pritchard twins, Agnes and Sally. Daughters of James Pritchard, director of the USC Band, these identical baton twirlers will be a double feature this fall as they perform with the Marching Game cock Band. Natives of Sumter, S.

A special feature of "the front yard" Is a small fountain situated )n an island. From here the huge zlass doors and windows offer a view of the interior of the lobby. Here the decor of the individual lounges includes paneled walls, potted palms, handsomely uphol stered furniture, and a view of the stone terrace, which can be used for outside dining purposes as well as for mere relaxation. Although the first floor provides beauty and an atmosphere for -mance ins Talent not confined to twirling, as evi denced by the fact that both have become accomplished musicians. Agnes plays the piano, clarinet, and bassoon, while Sally specializes on the French horn. As freshmen the identicial sis ters are looking forward to excit ing and rewarding years at Caro lina. According to Agnes, "Carolina is a friendly school. It is im possible for anyone to be unhappy because there is an interest here for everyone." Although the Pritchards are freshmen, they are not strangers to the USC campus. For the past three years they have substituted in the Coquettes line and have grown quite familiar with the life in the Carolina Community. As twins Sally and Agnes have similar tastes and characteristics, but prefer people to think of them as two separate, individual per sonalities - not as merely "the Pritchard twins." Often they also find themselves thinking or say ing the same thing at the same time. In addition to twvirling and in strumental music some of their other common interests lie with dancing and skiing. According to them skiing is the "greatest sports discovery of all times." k with Scripto. ling your schoolwork, point (or three) by Scripto.

The latter, capable of seating 350 persons, will be avail able to all students, the former two areas supplying midnight snacks and washing machines for the occupants of the dorm. Perhaps the most welcome and enjoyed feature of this 10-story structure is the air conditioning system throughout the entire build ing.

Sentimental mothers cry, check signing fathers s h u d d e r and brothers and sisters look gleeful as the Carolina Community re turns home for another battle in the war for education. Feelings from purebred fear tc obvious superiority run rampani in the manner of each of the four classes of combatants that enrol in the fall. Strange how time can change the outlook for a Caro linian in so many ways. The lowly FRESHMAN is un steadily testing his sea legs, usually away from home for the first time, and wondering what new things he can do now and get away with. Uncertain, inquisitive, imita tive, the "frosh" come in ever-in, creasing hordes, green as grass, but full of new ideas and oozing with a spontaneous feeling ol spirit, unblemished and undis. illusioned, that a greater USC will be built with.

Although long distance calls are not permitted these phones enable the girls tc reach all Columbia numbers with out charge, a facility which for merly was not available. Built-in beds a n d spacious closets which line opposite walls of the room give the students ad ditional comfort and storage space. Also found on each floor are apartments of similar design where Freedom Here D' tend to join every organization il sight, others come simply t( party.
