Lads From Downunder -(Gamecock Stall Photo by Gaskins.) Bob Crombie (left) and Alan Rose (right) stride through a workout in preparation for the ACC Meet. Both boys are from Mel bourne, Australia. Crombie will run with the freshmen team this spring in the 440 and 880. Rose is the varsity's number one two miler. .On COinpu9ab (Author of "I Was a Teen-age Dwarf", "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis", etc.) GLAD RAGS The hounds of spring are on winter's traces. Soon buds the crocus, soon trills the giant condor, soon come the new spring fashions to adorn our lissome limbs. And what will the American college student wear this spring? Gather round, you rascals, and light a Marlboro Cigarette and enjoy that fine mellow tobacco, that pure white filter, and possess your souls in sweet content, and listen. As everyone knows, campus fashions have always been casual. This spring, however, they have gone beyond being merely casual: they have become mukeshift. The object is to look madly improvised, gaily spur-of-the mioinent! For example, why don't you girls try wearing a peasant skirt with a dinner jacket? Or matador pants with a bridal veil? Or Bermuda shorts with bronze breastplates? Be rakish ! Ble impromptu! lBe decvil-take-the-hindmost I And, men, you b)e the same. Try an opera cape with sweat annts. Or a letter-sweater with kilts. Or a strait jacket with hip boots. Be bold I Be daring I Be a tourist attraction I Bunt all is not innovation in college fashions this spring. In fact, one of the highlights of the season turns timne backward in its flight. I refer, of course, to the comeback of the powdered wig. T1his charming accoutrement, too long neglected, has already caught on with in undergraids everywhere. On hundreds of campuses the bossai nova is giving way to the minuet, and patriotic uindergraduiates are dumping British tea into the nearest harbor. Th'lis, as you may imagine, (10es not sit well with King George III who, accordling to reliable reports, has been stamping his foot andl uittering curses not fit to rep)rodtuce in this family newspaper. For that matter, a lot of our own people are steamned up too, and there has even b)een some talk about the American colonies declaring their independence of England. But I hardly think it will come to that. I mean, how can we b)reak with the niothier country when we are dlependent on her for so many thiings-linsey-woolsey, Miinid balls, taper snuffers, anid like that? She, on thme other hand, relies on us for turkeys, Marlboro Cigarettes, aind lh)ute 66. So I say if Molly Pitcher andl those other BIiadliffe hotheads will calm down, and if gentlemen will cry "Peace!I Peace!" we may yet find an amiicab)le solutiotn to otir differences. But let not our British cousins nmistake this willingness to tnegotiate for weakness. If fight we must, then fight we will I Paul Itevere is saddled u p the rude bridge arches thme flood, and thme IROTC is armed1 But I digress.

Th'link howv welcomme they will be when you sit thirough a long lecture! They arc niot, however, without cer ain dlange'rs. I ast week, for exiamiple, Rtimbaud Sigafoos, a sophoirmnore at the Unmiversity of Pittsburgh, fell out of a 96th stoty windlow in the lower of I e'arning.

Track Te Australiai The USC track team could nc cope with the depth of the Tarhe squad as they were defeated la Saturday at Chapel Hill in a pra tice meet. The defeat was somewhat offs by outstanding performances fro two USC trackmen who hail fror Melbourne, Australia. Freshman, Bob Crombie, who r( cently enrolled at USC showed h heels to the Tarheels as he we he 880-yard run in a Conferen< record time of 1:55.8. Alan Rose, who is in his secor year at the University, ran awa with the varsity two-mile. Th was only the second time that Ros tas run on the boards and it we Crombie's first. In the varsity competition Ne Atkinson was edged out by Brow >f UNC in the 70-yard high hurdle The winning time was nine secon< flat. Carolina's only other victory i varsity competition came in th :hot put. Footballer Walt Christei sen won the even with a toss < 17'6". The frosh had better success wir ring two of the five events in whic they had entries. Fulton Dukes we double winner with a victory i he 60-yard dash and the shot pu The Frosh had seven entries bi hey all looked very good.

USC Swimme, School Recorc _The USC Mermen head North with little hope of bringing back a victory, but they will smash a few school records. Friday they meet the University of Virginia at Charlottesville and Saturday they take on the Maryland Terripins. Johnny Evans and Joe Ilulings will be swimming against some of the best swimmers in the Confer Vence and there is a good chance that they will break some of their own records. Evans will be out to better his time in the 200-yd. butterfly. He will have excellent competitior Sfrom Maryland's flyer who beat a N. C.

It was the Nu's first ntramural basketball loss in two y'ears. Sigma: Nu could not cope with the hot hand or Sidney Bet hone who led the Phi Kaps with 19 poinits.

He was off his feet for several weeks following his high school graduation due to a baseball accident. Previously headed for I)uke, he read some college catalogues that were lying around the house and decided that he liked Prince ton's Foreign Service program (Ile is now taking history). Bradley is perhaps the best ballplayer ever to play in the Ivy League. Coach Ilarry Gala tin of the professional St. Louis Hawks said that he Would play Bradley right now if he had him. Bradley, as Hey man, has played all the posi tions. Walt Hazzard is almost an other Bob Cousy. Ile directs the UCLA attack in a pro fessional manner with profes sional demea nor.
