BY HENRY EICHEL
Maybe it's the veil-block con- i
struction that makes the freshmen
boys' dorms look like giant bird h
cages, or it may just be a desire to 8
get away from studying, but the e
boys in H, J, and L dormitories are
constantly seeking new ways to act
crazy.
Wrestling matches and shaving- s
cream fights are commonplace, of I
course. Hardly a week goes by
without several of these. It's the
new, the unusual that the boys are a
looking for. To play football (tackle t
variety) in a room, to pour trash- i
can after trashcan of water under
someone's door, to build a fire in n
the elevator, or roll a shot-put a
along the floor is to be in the i
spirit of things. c
Every week brings something t
new. When it snowed in February,
there was a hockey game with s
broomsticks and cans on the roof
of H. More recently, there was a
saltine fight in a room. Several t
boxes of crackers were used up in i
the course of the struggle.

Pranks on individuals are the
lost common. One boy was
tripped of his clothes and taker
or a ride on the elevator. People
ave had their backs painted with
hoe polish. At times, boys have
ntered their rooms to discover
hat their mattresses and bed
lothes were missing.
What do the hall counselors dc
bout these things? Well, one coun.
elor had the habit of participating.
le chased boys with a broom, was
hrown into the shower several
imes, and could usually be found
n the hall making noise. He quit
t mid-semester last fall, saying
hat he wasn't doing enough study
rg.
Another counselor, of an opposite
ature, cracks down on his boys
,nd is rewarded frequently with his
oom being flooded by the trash
an method. Most counselors take
he position that if the boys aren't
oo noisy or don't destroy property
uch as burning doors, they car
ave their fun.
There is some studying done ir
he dorms, though. In the after
oon and at night until about 11

But then, all hell has been known
to break loose. Some boys will tire
of studying and look for something
to do. Then are the trasheans filled
with water, the binoculars trained
on South, and the halls turned into
battlegrounds.
Things usually begin spontan
eously. A fellow will say to his
roommate, "Let's get the guys A
downstairs." Then the two of them
will take turns shooting shaving J
cream through the lacework into
the room below. If the boys down
stairs retaliate, the fun really B
begins. The next night, there will h
be something different. There al- tE
ways is.

As in the past, the advent of o
this year's wave of freshman co- f
eds brought a new tradition to
Carolina's dormitories. ci
The girls' dorms are very quiet. d:
That is because girls are such con- fi
servative, r e s e r v e d individuals; w
they would never stoop to a foot- s
ball game or water fight. They use c<
stronger stuff - ammonia!
It began once upon a moonlit a

dorm counselors - temporarily bor- n

Ruthie's other interests range
rom waterskiing to Town Theater
rork; she's appeared in Bye Bye
3irdie, South Pacific, Guys and
lolls, among others, and currently,
'he Brave Little Tailor, for the
,hildren's Theater. On campus she's
cholarship and party rush chair
nan of Pi Beta Phi sorority, a
nember of the Women's Standards
,ommittee, Pep Club and Y.
Somehow she still finds time to
levote to her major, journalism.
;he works part time on the Co
umbia State newspaper and does
ommercials for WIS TV. "I'd like
o work in public relations or ad
rertising-in the television media
,f possible," she hopes. Graduate
work in this field or other plans
ire still indefinite, however.
As to the immediate summer,
:here'll be numerous festivals, cele
>rations, and of course, the Miss
south Carolina pageant the week
)f July 4th. These are her main
luties as Miss Columbia: to repre
ent the city at any function which
he Jaycees of the city wish: lunch
ons, banquets, f a s h i o n shows,
penings, etc. Her greatest experi
nce in the contest, she relates, was
tetting to know all the girls and
vorking with the Jaycces, whom she
ates as "one of the fine-: and
est organizedi groups i:n Columbia."
Exactly 10 years ago, at the aget
'f nine, Ruthie wa crowned Nine:th
nternational Orichid Queen in
4fiami, Florida. Following nmmi
'rous honors at Universi:y liigh
school, she was also a finalist in
he Miss Garnet and Black contest
his year. Her only pet peeve is
hat there "aren't enough hours in
he day." (But she still finds time
o short-sheet her roommate). A
'olumbia resident for the past six
ears, she's also liv'ed in Guam,
he Philippines. Germany, and oh
iously Haw;aii.
