Britisi By TOM PREWETFl' Staff Writer The continent of North America has recently fallen victim to an enormous influx of British cul ture. The American people, the de scendants of those stalwart pa triot who fought for freedom from the Mother Country, have recently succumbed to an epidemic of British culture which threatens to reclaim the United States as part of Her Majesty's Empire. In deed, if the -teenage population of America could vote, one Ringo Starr would certainly, as a write Tour Mai Will Visi1 Search for the 1965 Maid of Cotton is being carried directly to the campuses of leading colleges and universities throughout the Cotton Belt. Miss Patty Povall, Maid of Cot ton tour manager, Memphis, will visit the University of South Car olina campus on October 21 in quest of likely candidates for the title. During her visit, she will meet with school officials and campus leaders.

The nation-wide desire to imi tate our British neighbors seems to have reached its zenith recently when that phenominal group of mopheads known as the Beatles invaded the "colonies." Sale of British-made or British inspired articles has reached an almost unbelievable peak since their first visit. A recent movie release, A Hard Day's Night, grossed $1.6 million dollars in its first week in the United States. This movie provided the American zager Of I USC Cai from a group of 20 finalists in Memphis, December 28-29. Her first official appearance as the cotton industry's fashion and good will representative will be at the Cotton Bowl Festival in Dallas on New Year's Day. Later, she will fly to New York to be fitted with Girl-Watch( To Four P( By SUE ADAMS Staff Writer If any USC coeds have ever passed by a group of boys and wondered about whispered num bers, this article attempts to ex plain those numbers. Girl-watching seems to be the sport with the largest following among males on campus. On any sunny day, a large number of boys may be seen on the benches outside Russell House observing girls. Approximately 80 per cent of the girls are graded. Those whispered numbers are the grade the observed girl receives. This year the boys have switched from a six - point to a four - point system. The ranks are as follows: four "cream puff" three "let's ask her for a date" two "pleasingly plump" but not my type one "Frankenstein's sister" Boys have been known to throw pennies at girls in the three and one-half to four range. Another annoyance (to the girls) is the boys' habit of en Imported Alpaca ...The sweater that's sure to be the most popular in your fall wardrobe ..,. sizes S-M-L in maise, It. blue, It. green, red, or white 17 Shown here with double pleated wo skirt by Ladybug 14 Use our exclusive "Miss Gamecoci Charge Account 3ce A1 people the chance to really hear, I see, and absorb the current at- a mosphere in "jolly olde England." a Now that the truth is known i about the "demi-paradise" where the glorious Beat Beatles cavort, the youth of America can effec tively set to work at converting the U. S. into a somewhat larget than the original carbon copy of n the "sceptered isle." Mod or Rocker - that is the question.

Approximately 20 b to 30 boys will stop a girl or girls r and ask for dates. Sometimes as many as six boys will get dates h1 this way. g The benches at Russell House 1 are only a few of the girl-watchers' I favorite spots. Although the li brary is meant for studying, few boys are able to study there. Aren't those stairs crazy? It is rumored that all the boys on the front side of Preston have binoculars. These are used for watching girls get in and out of cars and sitting on benches at Russell House. Another rumor is that the University telescope is d being modified. Since boys observe girls so much, they have had ample time to notice the different types of i clothes. Wrap-around skirts on a a windy day are the favorites. c Although the girls can't com pletely avoid the girl-watchers, I certain precautions can be made. r Never walk by the Russell House a benches, never wear wrap-around u slcirts, never go to the library, t and always carry an umbrella. a .98 .98 .98 )pears umors are beginning to creep bout that the youth of America re taking up the sport of belong ig to either the "Mods" or the Rockers." For those who aren't acquainted ,ith such terms, "Mods" are the lotorscooter - riding, well - dressed 4ite, and the "Rockers" are the iotorcycle - riding, leather jack ed, super-jumbo s u n g I a s s e s 'earing, and coolness personified wingers. Rumor has it that the 6tter is dying out rapidly. Rest i peace, Rockers! How Now, Brown Beatle? The amazing popularity of the eatles has led our youth to such Ktremes as affecting British ac ants. Everyday conversation is aturally full of such Liverpudlian ang as "ciggies" for cigarettes, telly" for television, "grotty" for rotesque, and "potty," meaning to be crazy about." Please don't >k for these words in Webster. The craze for imitation of the :ritish has most widely mani !sted itself in the wearing of ritish-made or "British-looking" lothes. Young men can be found every 'here wearing stovepipe pants, lack turtleneck shirts, vests, col irless coats and especially weird balian-made boots which the Brit ;h seem to love. Alas, the British are "in" for he present and everybody else is out." There is nothing left to do ut to join the ranks of those who efuse to be beaten. If you are wise, you'll let your air grow out, learn to play a uitar and calmly wait until the roverbial sun sets upon the ribish Empire.

However, some students here i s p 1 a y e d much ingenuity in ,decorating their rather Spartan taarters into amazingly comfort ble and attractive accommoda ons.
