For it was this same man who is World War i commaanded the hattleship Ienensylvania - the ssel that fired more tonnage of telat enemy. forces thani any othier ship in the history of the world. This is but another story of the Admiral, one of the few men who served in both world wars. His long and historic stay in the Navy began upon entering the Naval Academy in 1910 andl grad tinting four years later. In the first World War Professor Martin was a Lieutenant on the battle ship Wyoming which was one of the ships included in the British Grand Fleet stationed near Scot land. "I think the finest thing of my experiences," the Admiral recalls, "wams that die Wyom,inag and other s.hips of our fleet took part in the .inerendering of the entire German High Seas Fleet. When they suir rendered they had to come be tweeni our two lines of ships as they filed out of Kiel Harbour, G,ermnany."

It was at this time the Admiral wrote his textbook entitled, "The E I e m e n t s of Submarines." The book was used as the standard text on underwater vessels at the submarine school for 25 years. reaching the submarine officers out of his own book was his teaching experience before coming ,o USC in 1946. W he n in command of the Pennsylv(uia in World War II, his vessel was the only one of the Navy's 21 hattleships that re ceived the commendation from the Secretary of the Navy for out standiig heroism in c o m h a t against the Japanleset 4 e n e li V forces.

Professor Martin was made an Admiral in 1946 upon his retire ment. Now he teaches as a pro fession, gardens as a hobby, and relaxes only as a necessity. This is the story of Admiral M! a r I i n - successful scholar, sohtlie'r andl teacher. But all this did inot come. about by chance. What is his formula for life, one may ask? Perhaps bits of it can be detected in his words to the wise. "My adlvice to college students," he began, "is fir-st to tell the truth undler all circumstances. Second is to work hard and third is to think . . . think all the time." And this is what he has done all his life.

It cuts down on trans p)ortation costs. Weary students simply proceed from their last final to that "big recess" on Bull Street. The bars serve to protect the student from the tenacious grasps of perverted professors and their cruel world of tests and grades. Of course everyone knows that teachers are evil spirits, and Life B panionship. They go home with their roommates, or the room mates go home with them; they can take off to Charleston or Myrtle Beach or Daytona or New York. Day students seldom have close enough friends to fly away with, and even if they did, Daddy won't let them. This brings us to parents. Parents are perhaps the most trying part of being a (lay stu lent. They can see what their kid is spending money on, and have a first-hand knowledge of how much is needed, and if it's really needed. There's no s e n d i n g home for money, begging that your room mate borrowed your last five dol lars and lost it in a fourth-floor poker game. The day student feels watched because his parents are always around, looking over his shoulder, seeming to say, "You don't spend your money on the right things" :r "You should spend more time )n your Spanish" or "Stop playing those Frank Sinatra records and maybe you'll have enough con centration to study," or just about anything. When a person reaches college age, he wants to get out on his iwn andl be independent. It's bad enough being in the same town, but to stay in the same house is sometimes unbearable.

There went summer! Nothing goes as fast as these precious three months of reprieve granted to students. The lazy days of heat, sun-tan lotion, sandy hair, and hasty va cations pass much too fast for fun-loving Carolina students. The prospect of three luxurious months of study-free days dwindles into two measly weeks. Since USC is a composite of many and various characters, the reactions of students toward their future parole varies. Seniors - yes, Freshman, there is a senior run around the campus, point E Dorm By CAlOL ROBINSON Copy Editor Day students just can't win. Around this college, or almost any college, a day student really hasn't got a chance. The on campus students can sleep late, go to club meetings, enjoy recitals, take off for weekends with room mates, defy dorm rules, and all kinds of other jolly things. Day students can seldom enjoy any of these pastimes. We day students must get up at 6:30 to make an 8:00 class, and, ergo, we usually have to go to bed earlier to make it. Clubs and shows on campus are generally out of our reach, unless we have cars and/or dates. When we have a morning class and an afternoon class, we have to hang around and eat and kill time on campus, not having time to take the bus or even, if lucky enough to have a car and a place to park it, drive home. When we have to use the refer ence books in the libraries, we must come early and leave late, since we don't live close enough to come and go as we please. A day student, therefore, must spend more time running around the campus than the dorm student, wvith his cozy room and stereo and soft bed. We know that dorm students have their problems - cold coffee, complaining roommates, curfews, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. But at least they have someone to sym pathize with them. Day students must go home to weary mothers, yelling fathers, and irritating brothers and sisters. Surely dorm life can't be this bad.

Only nineteen and already they are "has beens" who never were. There is always a bright side. Visiting hours are frequent, and Mother promised that there would be swings and a nice big sand box. For some obscure reason, every year students flee to the beach to bask in the sun and to partake in other amusements. Carolina stu dents play regardless of where the cat is. The sandy shores of the beach, or at least the part which is still remaining after Easter, are ivaded by sun-worshippers. Here one exists in sand and salt. The c o m b i n e d substances penetrate one's skin, scalp, hair, nose and brain. There's nothing as bad as a sand-covered salty b r a i n; espe cially when said brain has already started to disintegrate. FINKS WORK While others play, some persist in working. It simply ruins the public image of the typical Caro lina student. There have been etter? | aren't compensations. A day stu dent has the advantage of getting his education in the locality where he will probably work - but sup pose he wants to move to Cali fornia after graduation? It's nice to have parents around sometimes - but constantly? When a student is sick, he has his old family physician - but surely the infirmary could do a passable job. And, while meals are cheaper and sometimes better, the student often must cook them, eat them, clean up after them, and then study, if he has time. Dorm students have the best of it, after all.
