ON WROCKS WITH WHAT IT WERE Howdy, out thar, Frens 'n' neighbors! I done come out of hidin' in them thar hills to write up this hyar column. Yep, I floated down the Congaree on my flat bottom skiff, landed at that purty bridge and brung my humble words to the folks down home. Right pe-culiar thing happened on the way to the Gamecock Office: I ran into a plenty slick politician who stopped me and ast me was I for it. I said heck yeah and started to go on when he ast me what I's gwine do 'bout it. (I thought that went without speak ing about in these parts but that I'd wait to see what he thought about it.) He swears that it is the greatest thing going since the Coloseum in Rome and I thought that was a funny way of putting it but I couldn't help but agree. Anyway he's right anxious to larn if'n I was 21 and I wondered what that had to do with it then I remembered some statutory or other'n what says you have to be a certain age to get by with it. Then this feller says he fanatically: REGISTER!!!! Wall now, thet clone it - I jest laughed and thunk to myself he didn't know the half of it and made a note to tell my good friend and buddy Dean Cooper that even those Richland County Democrats were on his side about them dam fraternity parties. STORY TIME Now children, teacher has run out of stinging retorts (I-N-S-U-L-T-S) and today I am going to plagerize (S-T-E-A-L) from a dear old man that lived many years ago. His name is Mister Aesop. And remember. Could fables and fairy tales written over one thousand huge long years ago have any significance today? Of course not. He wrote a harmless little ditty that I am going to call Enough Rope. Once upon a time fourteen Bulls fed in a field to gether in the greatest peace and amnity. A wolf had long watched them in the hope of making a prize of them but found that there was little chance for him as long as they all kept together. Two of the Bulls got caught outside the fence one day and the wolf gobbled them up. Then he began secretly to spread evil and vengeful reports of one against the other, til he had fomented a jealousy and dis trust among them. The wolf danced a jig of glee. (Picture this.) No sooner did the wolf see that they avoided one another and said Na Na Na Na Na about each other, than he feed upon them singly, and made an easy prey of them all. Moral: It is tar better to unite and become friends, than to furnish food for the wolf. The end.

Now the number of -irls is just a little less then hat of boys including the Navy program. The top figure of Columbia girls has been reached and there is a ;reater number of C o 1 u m b i a Freshman girls than in preceding years. Mrs. Arney Childs, Dean of Women, states, "To me this in Jicates the best thing that could happen to us here at the Univer siy." For years after Wade Hampton was first opened as a girls' dormi tory, the total of boys has always been greater than coeds. Since the war, the number of girls has slowly gained on the boys. One year the total of each was about equal. "The March term will probably be the first time that the coeds will outnumber the boys at Caro lina," says Mrs. Childs.

Quoted in the Harvard Crimson, ich subsequently termed the :usations "exaggerated" in an torial, Monro warned students ainst "orgiastic parties" and bandoning girls in the houses."

Colleges put themselves in a unique position by allowing girls in boys' bedrooms." Under college rules, Harvard men may entertain women in their rooms from 4 to 7 p.m. Mon day through Friday and from noon to midnight on Saturday. Radcliffe girls are allowed to have men in their rooms for a total of 25 hours per week. From their sophomore year on, they I also can stay out all night without asking college permission. Radcliffe President Mary Bunt ing said there was "no cause for unusual concern about the activi ties of Radcliffe girls." The Blaine report also stated that the trend toward pre-marital sexual relations is going up and that "this trend reflects a cultural change in the United States." According to the survey, 35 per cent of college women in 1938 were not virgins, and 50 per cent were not virgins in 1950. Blaine said, "The trend in sexu ality is due partly to the accessi bility of bedrooms in college dormitories and many students fall into sexual relations for which they are not ready."

You, like many of us, may be reaching out in an effort to iden tify yourself properly, - to learn who you are and where you are going. We believe we have found the answers to these questions in the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. You can find them, too. We invite you to come to our meetings and to bear how we are working out our problems through applying the truths of Christian Science.
