Room at the Top By Andy Orgonik (Ed. Note: The following is a! unsolicited article from a malt Carolina freshman.) A USC freshman is, besides be ing the lowest thing on the earth except for the whole cow campus basically three things. He i1 eager to please, anxious to mak< good, and hopeful of being no ticed. It is really unfortunate foi him that he has these attitudes if he didn't, he would realize thal everyone around him feels th< same way about the same things If he could realize this point, h( would see that the only one in col lege that he really has to be afrai< of is himself. The freshman has entered inti a world in which he has provei himself mentally capable. Now i is up to him to make himself wha he wants. There is no longer any one to give him a push and no on( to tell him what he must or mus not do. For in passing this tes he has taken himself out of th world of childhood and has en tered the rough and tumble worl< of the "mature" adult. If he wants to be someone o value, he will now have to pu forth much effort. He is here first, supposedly, to educate him self and secondly, to learn a much as possible about himself an about other people. Now he mus be open minded, for he will hea and see things with which he ha not come in contact before. No matter who he might be, eac USC freshman has the ability, i he is willing to work hard enough to get what he desires in his ow way; his own "ROOM AT THI TOP."

Study! -All Part Of Carolina Life Now that sumrnmer is over, and the weejuns have been resoled, it's time for Carolina students to paint a smile on their sunburned faces and to greet old friends with a new wave of enthusiasm and in tellectual vigor. It's also time for a new influx of rat caps, a new tide of teases from upperclassmen, and a new crop of or-so-old sophomores, just recently elevIated from the first year frenzy. For the old, almost ready for-the-grave seniors, it means the most joyous year of all. In just a few months their college career will end, and the now smiling visages will be plastered with frowns, mirroring the long ing to stay among friends. In just a few weeks "our green little freshmen" will be accustomed to the rat race, and the long lines with hours and hours of waiting. The football games, rush, pledging, parties, indoctrination in places of interest (the "Patch," Owl's Club, the sundial by night) will all be come an almost mundane part of each new student's life. All these things are like the dusk before the fireworks, and the fireworks will he a shock to a few. Finally the year will be over and all freshmen will become old faces on a campus of undeniable fun and hard work. Every old student knows the campus cycle and soon new students will know that the Carolina Community is often imi tated but never duplicated. So to all men and women of Carolina . . . welcome and welcome hack! This is going to be the best year ever!! ust $1.00 I special! --SCHOOL SPECIAL.I worth of cartridges FREE. FOR *2.95 :FE RS Freshman For Coun By REGINA GAILANO Society Editor The Carolina campus has been showered with a wide and interest ing variety of freshmen this semester. One of the most in dividualistic and amusing of them all is Hill Dodgen. A native South Carolinian, Bill has always been fond of the Uni versity, and is serving it in the capacity of Dorm counselor. He's on the 6th floor of building "H" so watch it boys, he was a profes sional ,restler, and it wouldn't be very wise to tangle with him. Bill has spent time experiencing life and discovering the "whys" be hind all the traditional theories of life. An admitted non-conformist, he has done many of the things that the average person only dreams about. LikeN To Write His main interest is writing and Bill has pursued this "hobby" for the past six years. For his jour nalistic pursuits, this "frosh" has a set schedule. "I write from 1:00 a.m. until 6:00 a.m. These are my best hours, for a number of reasons. You see, I'm very ad dicted to the "Tonight" show and I can't write until I'm sure that the TV is off and there will be nothing to disturb me. These hours are very quiet, peaceful and serene. There are few noises out side, and the few sounds which do drift through are usually soothing and peaceful." If you're wondering about his getting enough sleep Bill only rests four or five hours a night. "I never get more than that. I don't need it." Bill is his worst critic and claims that many of the things he writes end up in "File 13," the wast< paper hasket. "I write only foi myself. What others say does noi affect me. If only one person ap preciates or gets a moral fron what I've written I think I've don< what I set out to do I then fee satisfied." The person who encouraged Bil to start writing was his ninti grade English teacher. It seems that she leaned more towardq literature than grammar, and re quired her class to do quite a bit of creative writing. "I remember we had to write a poem. Well, wrote one, and it was the bigges mess I'd ever seen, but that teachez saw something in it and en couraged me t; continue writing From then on, I started staying Welcome, MEAL TICKE $15.00 Vali LUNCHES M( At the Open End Is this th using Me Skin Bracer's rugg vious attribute.

Poe and Lanier Two poets have greatly influ enced him - Edgar Allan Poe and Sidney Lanier. Although Bill does not directly or intentionally copy Poe's style, a lot of his poems are along the same pattern. He writes things that seem despondent and usually have a twist at the end. Most of his writing is done in sad nionients, when the happiness of another can be reflected and con trasted to the sadness of someone else, usually himself. He has written and had published two complete volumes of poetic works. "I paid for the publishing myself, and gave most of the books away," Bill said. This versatile student has also written a book on the pride and prejudices of the South and its )eople. This book is presently in the hands of Vantage Press. Bill said that he has not even tried to seek any other kind of publication, except where he pays for it, as he (loes not want to become indebted 1ll Students rs AVAILABLE ie for $14.25 )NDAY-FRIDAY Oc of the 'Horseshoe' e only reason to mnen Skin Bracel ed, long-lasting aroma is an ob is it everything? ed Skin Bracer is the after-shave ather than burns~ It helps heal crapes.

Valuies 11m(ividualism11 William llenry Dodgen IV claims Aiken as his home town, saying, "My reputation around Aiken is that of being a character, good for a few laughs, and a person with contacts." It seems that most people rarely try to make close friends with him as "they think that I'm some kind of nut." Ac tually, the fact that Bill values individualism above all else sets him apart. As for Carolina, Bill says that he has always loved it, and has always known that USC would be his college. "I was yelling 'Beat hell out of Clemson' when I was only four," he said laughingly. "I remember going on a hunting trip with my father when I was younger and listenin,_ to the Caro lina-Clemson game on the radio." Another interesting thing about Bill is that he never approaches any situation with a defeatist at titude. Perhaps this will help carry him through History 11! Imlitates Voices Bill has several comments about Navy life, "I didn't like it because it tied me down and I couldn't write. You can't start plunking no a typewriter at one in the morninte in a barracks without be ing clobbered."
