Pierc By MARGARET SHALEULY Feature Editor Along with feminine straight hair and masculine long hair, pierced ears have invaded the Carolina campus as the latest fad of the fad-crazy coeds. Here, there and everywhere, girls can be seen with various t y p e & of earrings peeping out from their drilled ears. For ages the older generation has compared the -younger genera , ion to the tribes of deepest and wildest Africa. Dances, clothing and manners have all come under this scrutiny. The pierced ears of the modern civilized coed has given another clue to this mystery, ac cording to many. As everyone knows and has seen in the "National Geographic Maga zines" of grammar school, various ,An Inquit Values OJ By LAWRENCE E. MINlZ Staff Writer Before attempting to deal with those specific characteristics of our subjects that have prompted this dissertation, let us clearly de fine the boundaries, limitations, and weaknesses of our survey. Although all three basic species of ACADEMIAN PROFES SORSAURUS are to be found in habiting college campuses through out the world, necessity forces us to here deal only with specimens gathered and observed at the Uni versity of South Carolina. Despite the lack of scientific justification for implying any similarities be tween our subjects and their inter national relatives, the author per sonally feels justified in contending that such similarities exist. This survey has been further limited by its confinement to the activities of the subjects while in pursuit of the means of survival; i.e., the classroom habitat. We will leave the task of analysis and ob servation of leisure pursuits and inter-personal social relationships for a later endeavor. Due to the highly specialized and rare nature of our subject, we have been unable to establish any control group that haq any rele vancy whatsoever. We recognize the existence of many hybrids, subspecies, and freaks that do not fit into our three basic categories; however, due to the lack of scien tific justification for the existence of the above mentioned and our failure to note any (luring our study, we will, for the time being, ignore these exceptions to the rule. We justify this on the grounds that our subjects are equally prone to ignore anything resembling an exception to a rule; thus we should he accorded like privileges. We further recognize that the concept of awarding inquiring stu dents like privileges to those of ACADEMIAN PROFES SORSAURUSES would be dis missed as absurd by the latter; but as this dissertation is for my col leagues, we continue. Any further limitations, scientific inaccuracies, omissions, etc., are either inten tional, imaginary, or resultant from what I am sure will be -xcused as purely natural and understandable prejudices. Our three species shall be named and examined in the manner and order as follows: a) Parrotus Textbookian b) Directus Bibliographia c) Proposeand Debatit Parrotus Textbooklan Is charac Sun., Feb. 7 3 .M COLUMBIA TOWNSHIP AUDITORIUM EXCLUSWVELY ON@GWamer Brothers Records Pwk.: $5, $4, $1. IUY TICxaTs - Mhmn's 400 Main Taylor Steet Phemacy 22 Arcade Seklig T.e..e.. a.. er ALo4re ed E primitive tribes have pierced ears, noses, and sometimes heads. Pierced ears date back to pre historic times. According to Homer's Iliad, Juno "put in her e a r s, skillfully pierced, earrings worked and ornamented with a triple precious stone." Many of the ancestors of the coeds of Carolina were ardent ad vocates of the art of piercing ears. The ancient East Indians, Medes, Persians, Egyptians, Arabians, and Hebrews considered the stylish woman, the woman with the most skillfully pierced ears. As usual, the men always have to get into the act. Some Roman men wore earrings in their pierced ears. In the third century A.D., Emperor Alexander Severus had to forbid their use by men. No wonder Rome fell. ry Into TI 'Academiti terized by its uncanny and un failing ability to memorize long passages of data that have been assigned to its victims, and begin each period of capture with lengthy repetitions of said data. It is also prone, when memory is neither possible nor called for, to read directly from the source, also at great length. In our study, no specimen was observed imparting any new information, personal opinion; or stimulus to classroom discussion. The second specie that we shall here examine is the DIRECTUS BIBLIOGRAPHIA, a more organ ized member of the genus. Directus Bibliographia is characterized by its ability to present a variety of capsule approaches to every prob lem, along with a list of sources and a recommendation that one embark on a program of research and self-education. This species is, of course, more useful than its previously discussed relative. There are some theorists that even say that DIRECTUS BIBLIOGRAPHIA represents the highest level of achievement among the ACAD EMIA N PROFES SORSAURUSES. This is refuted, by other theor 1A1 fashion righi campus righi separates by No matter what sha Spring, you'll welcoi skirts and the easy c< S polyester/cotton sep< *Slim skirt, side ripperi in black, navy, loden, sk bark.

According to these cultured folks, earrings prevented evil sounds and malicious suggestions from enter ing the ear. Therefore, they were ornamented with mysterous signs. In the Middle Ages, men wore their earrings in their pierced left cars. Later the custom of wearing the hair over the ear caused this ancient fashion to fall into disuse. Earrings for men had a short vogue at the court of Henry IV of France. Fortunately for the women the vogue was short. It must have been very frustrating for the children to have lived in a two-earring family. As yet, the modern male has not begun to pierce his ears. It would be rather futile anyway since his te Charac [i Profesq ists, on the grounds that there is no stimulation towards the forma tion of individual theory, no analy sis in depth of the intrinsic values of any one particular thesis, and that there is an evident over-em phasis on the importance of com parison and contrasting to be found in the methodology of the specie members. We do not wish to take sides in this learned academic controversy; however, our tests show that, while the student of exceptional merit is able to adapt to, and overcome the superficiality e l e m e n t in this above-stated treatment, the aver age and below average student is left entirely without stimulation and, alas is more than likely doomed to perish from a strange disease, BORDUMUS COLLEGI ATUM. The third specie of our disserta tion is the PROPOSEAND DE BATIT. This specie is the rarest of all the members of the genus, as well as the member most char acterized by individual mutations and variations. In our study, we have encountered approximately five representatives of this specie, .ll of which were possessed of characteristics that would, under russ.toggs peyur i o h jetepootoe :r ofteeIarn rate by ussogg .t russ toggedu; sm phr youl're con beforne hite, blue /wite, green /n S4.98 swear First Floor opuk 0 .P ,tenris tics, ;orsa urus most normal circumstances, indi cate that they were members of entirely seperate species. PROPOSEAND DEBATITS are usually quite popular with their prey. Despite their gruff exteriors, belligerent natures, and frighten ing egos, they usually manage to create exciting classes, academic interest, and healthy, happy vic tims. The main drawbacks and pit falls that we have discovered in the habits of these specimens are the tendency to dominate and stifle the argument by an appeal to their authority, the trap of pragmatic and shallow "solutions" to the academic problem, unjust grading (in some uncommon situations such as personal antipathies, etc.), and interrupted and diverted in tellectual quests, disturbed by per sonal notes, humor and laziness. We hope that here, we have whetted an appetite for the fasci nating study of the ACADEMIAN PROFESSORSAURUS, and pro vided an introduction that will stimulate other students to ob servation and analysis, and guide them in their pursuit of knowledge.

The usual fee charged by doc tors for piercing ears runs about $5.00. Carolina coeds may have their ears pierced at the infirmary if they have written permission from their parents. However, many ambitious girls have an experi enced lay person to drill the hole. The usual home method for piercing ears is fairly simple. The ears are numbed by putting an ice cube on each side of the ear lobe. The needle to be used is steri lized with alcohol. After this pre caution, the needle is stuck through Brave Hal High Amc By TOM PREWET Staff Writer One of the most familiar figures to men students at Carolina, the residence hal counselor, is also one of the least applauded for his work. Let's face it, the job of a hall counselor is not an easy one. It ranks right up there with the Kamikaze pilot, human cannon ball or editor of The Gamecock-three of the most deadly vocations in the world. These brave souls who volunteer as hall counselors are subject to some of the most hair-raising ex periences imaginable. They must be ready on a 'round-the-clock basis to douse wastebasket fires, readmit wayward residents into their locked rooms when they have left their key in the "other" pants pocket, stop water and shaving cream fights and silence shower room operettas. These are only a few of the perils experienced by the unsung hero who lives on each hall of each and every male dormitory on campus.
