This, I' afraid, I cannot accomplish on ti impetus provided by Tenness< Williams' Period of Adjustment.

Much thought and consider able effort must have gone into the construction and renovation of our greatly increased physi cal plant in recent years; how ever, someone keeps forgetting that the modern American is a mobile American, and that the internal conhustion engine is as common to the American can pus today as the raccoon coat was in our father's time. Unless modern parking facili ties are provided for the student within reasonable walking distance from the classroom, we are sure to see more of these remarkable two wheeled conveniences abound.

I can tell because 'they" have turned on the lights n1 the library. The great outside is hurrying to ts destiny, horns honking and wakes squealing.

But before we do so, and before we are likewise accused of being "un-American," we must explain that the Harley (ugh) )avidson Company is the ONLY American manufacturer in the field. Their claim to fame t is the "Harley 7.1" more com monly known among bike buffs as the "Harley Hog." To be more specific, if you see a car on two wheels (or what appears to be a half of a car rolling dow%n the street) you have seen the "7-1 Duo-Glide."

As students regain their "study rabits," they notice enough new hings on campus to be interested mld enough old to feel at home. Among those new things are cores of fresh, young, gullible aces belonging to scores of re pective gullible, young freshmen. A favorite pastime for upper lassmen, in between periods of liligent studying, of course, is the iew game of "Spot the Freshman." f he smiles, studies, or is on the >oard plan, he is a freshman. Some ynical souls, dismayed at the iumber of new studients, assert hat if it walks or talks, it is a reshian. Fortunately, it is a fashion for ollegiates to have hair this year, ven if it isn't their own. Accord nig to the number of new blondes mn camipus, Miss Clairol had a very lusy stimnier. Will the real blondes ileas estand up and be counted ? )nly the roots know. A cursory survey of the coe(s how that the chic hairstyle calls or "swinging hair" as a fashion niagazine terms it. To the illiterate *r non-readers of this particular! a s h i o i magazine, "swinging air" is long tresses which get nto a girl's eyes. If it is blonde onfusion, so much the better. Giving the student a sense of ecurity and the feeling of finially being back," are several hi fads. Again, fortunately, for the more rudish, clothes have remained in tyle with the tops intact.

This machine which started the whole thing two years ago is not hibernating in the val ley. Bob Gonzales, its proud new owner, has the Army surplus bike on blocks for a general overhaul and we shall soon be seeing it making its haughty reappearance upon the Carolina scene.

No matter what they are wear ing, everyone shares the same problem of transportation. Most students, either for monetary or health reasons depend upon their natural resources-their feet. Of course, there are still some who jet about in sports cars, con- - vertibles and other convenient autos. Fairly new on the scene, how ever, are ambitious lads astride motorcycles or motorscooters. They zip to and fro with the great est of ease and noise. Take heed, USC, a future Marlon Brando may be forthcoming from such a hum ble surrounding. Whether he rides a motorcycle, influences the natural color of his hair or simply walks with a mop or mousey-brown hair, he fits into the USC student body of varied personalities.
