Hut Admiral Martin had not
always been noted for his gentle
tiess to the opposition.
For it was this same man who
is World War i commaanded the
hattleship Ienensylvania - the
ssel that fired more tonnage of

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,

rl Career
After World War I, Admiral
Martin had dutY in submarines
and was later made head of the
Department of Submarines and
Trorpedoes at the United States
sub-school in New London, Conn.
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.
These are just a few of the
events experienced by the Admiral
Juring his Naval career. The
countries visited by him during
his time i n c I u d e d France,
England, Ireland, Scotland, Nor
way, S w e d e n, Germany, Spain,
Australia, Mexico, 11 o n d u r u s,
Iati, Cuba, the Fiji Islands,
30hoINlon anl Marina Islands plus
the Philippines from one end to
the other.
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.

There seems to have been some
trategic planning b e h i n d the

campus. It cuts down on trans

simply proceed from their last

grasps of perverted professors and
their cruel world of tests and

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

poker game.

seeming to say, "You don't spend
your money on the right things"

those Frank Sinatra records and

summer! Nothing goes as fast as
these precious three months of
reprieve granted to students.
The lazy days of heat, sun-tan

fun-loving Carolina students. The
prospect of three luxurious months
of study-free days dwindles into
two measly weeks.

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.
Another advantage that dorm
students have is vacation coim

There is always a bright side.

Mother promised that there would

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.

to have parents around sometimes

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

Enough sweethearts have been lij

the Cockpit downstairs in the a

Here, in this year's final issue
of The Gamccock, after repeated
requests from a student employee r
of the Slater System, a hard- th

woman is about to be unofficially 01
crowned "Queen of the Cockpit i
Crew."
Mrs. Jane Weathers, b e t t e r P

has been working for Slater Sys- hl
tem for the past ten years. Eight 01
years ago, when the Cockpit was P(
opened on a trial basis, Granny
was put in charge of it. Since then
both have grown in popularity b(
and esteem. cc
Granny is known for her speedy cc
trips to the ice machine. It is said et
that she "hauls ice" faster than er
anyone around. a1
Originally from Alabama, Mrs. er
Weathers and her husband (a re- ot
