Boys Face Many Unusual Problems In Rainy Weather 11% GEORGE SANDERS Feature Writer The "ultra cool" bracket of USC students is again setting the pace in campus fads. The latest one has put a new twist on the late, great, Ben Franklin's saying, "It is better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it." With the coming of the monsoon season has followed the usual-unusual rash of black umbrellas. The latest thing is no more to walk around without an umbrella but to carry one and not use it. Thus the addition on the age-old expression and out comes the latest: "It is better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it, but it is best to have it, need it, but not use it." This rule does not apply when the rain is really coming down, let it be known. The best time to play "King Cool" is during a slight drizzle when, of course, all the coeds are protecting their lovely hair with multi-forms of water proof garments. There is reason behind this mad ness when one stops to think about it awhile. If a boy walks around during a slight drizzle with his umbrella up. he just feels funny about it for some reason. And what can he say if one of his friends conmes up and asks him about it? Look at my hair, it's a mess. I can't dto a thing with it when it gets wet," would lead someone to ask him what he would do0 with it if he had a choice and that is a 30-point question if there ever was one. So for fear of public ridicule, the umbrellas will continue to stay dlown on this sidte of the campus. Cool it, boys. wanted! virile men who wish to earn $5.00 apiece The makers of By George!

Bolivi By VIRGINIA CARROLL Staff Writer Miriam Neis has only been in the United States for a little more than three weeks, but since her arrival she has made great strides toward becoming a well-adjusted American college student. Miriam is from La Paz, the capital of Bolivia, which she says is very similar to Columbia in size and cultural features. There are a number of scenic parks and play grounds, as well as the downtown area with its modern department stores, all of which make La Paz a very beautiful and exciting city. Bolivia In the capital is located Bolivia's university, famous for its school of medicine. This school is the only completely free national university in the world. A student can obtain an education even if he has no money, for the state pays the ex penses. Many Americans go to the school to study. Bolivian stu dents are likewise encouraged to study in the United States. A num ber of scholarships are specifically awarded for this purpose. Bolivia is a country of very high altitudes. The average is 3,000 meters or about 10,000 feet. The climate is very much the same all year round. "In one day we have the four seasons," stated Miriam. The nights and early mornings are cold, but the days are quite warm. The only snow is in the mountains. Although from La Paz one can see a snow-covered mountain, Illimani, the entire year, there is never any snow in the city itself. Family Miriam's family has not always lived in Bolivia. Her father and mother were born in Poland. After World War II, they went to Rus sia, Berlin, and finally South America and Bolivia in 1951 when Miriam was four. Miriam was born in Berlin. However, she says emphatically, "I am not a Com munist!" Soon after the family arrived in Bolivia Miriam's only sister, Jane, now 13 and a high school student in La Paz, was born. Miriam was not a complete stranger to the United States when she arrived in January. Her father is manager of a department store in La Paz and she had been with him to New York on buying trips. In comparing the two areas in the United States with which she is acquainted, Miriam decidedly pre 1 the to do som your Il an A fers the South to the North. She says that the people are much friendlier in the southern states. Because they have traveled so extensively, both her father and mother speak a number of lan guages - among them, Hebrew, German, Polish, Spanish, and Rus sian. She herself has "only" learned Spanish, German, and English, but All Students Invited To Free Dance The Special Events Committee of the Student Union will sponsor a dance in the Cockpit Room, Sat urday, February 20, from 8 p.m. until 11 p.m. Music will be furnished by the Crescents Combo. Students will be admitted free with one I.D. card per couple. Dress for the dance will be informal. For many years Carolina hasl been called the "Suitcase College," because of the large number of students going home each week end. Supposedly, the reason for this is that there is nothing hap pening on campus to interest stu dents in staying. This phrase has been muttered time and again. In response the Student Union is attempting this semester to provide some type of entertainment every weekend. This dance is the first of a series of events to be held this spring.

Colege Miriam originally wanted to major in languages, but she is now considering pre-med. Her main problems in all subjects is her in ability to understand her profes sors. Also, homework assignments are doubly difficulty because she' must often use a Spanish-English dictionary to understand the ma terial she must read. In her spare time, which is al most non-existent now, Miriam often went to movies in La Paz. Movie-going is a favorite pastime both because there is no television and because the movies are very inexpensive.

There was first the adapting to hearing a language constantly used that she had previously only spoken in the classroom. Customs were different - even the pace of living was much faster. Also, like most other freshmen leaving home for the first time, she had to combat a severe case of homesickness. However, now that Miriam has made the hardest first adjustments and adapted to her new way of life, she finds that she feels very much at home in America - and at USC. As time goes by she be lieves that her only serious re maining problem will be that of every college student-trying not to flunk out. RESTAURANT Y SAMMY rH MAIN A. - 7:30 P.M.
