USC Studi 'Cock-A-D By MARGARET SIIALEULY Feature Editor John McCravy, student artist at USC, likes to draw. His creations of "Cock - A - Doodles" have ap peared regularly in The Gamecock for the past semester. John is currently a second se mester freshman at Carolina and hopes to get his degree in the School of Education. His future plans are to teach history or art and to coach. A native of Columbia, John lived in Baltimore, Md., for a period as a child. After graduating from University High School in Colum bia, John served six months in the Army. John worked for the South Car olina National Bank in Columbia for three years before beginning his studies at the University. A family man, John, his wife Sandra. and four-year old son Mark, live at 1622 Edgehill Road. Young Mark is already showing signs of taking after his father. John reports that when he is working on a drawing or just sketching, son Mark will often also take up a pencil and com mence drawing. Remarkably John has had no formal art training. Other than a high school course in art and some art courses at the University, John has been drawing on his own since early childhood. After his interlude in the Army. John began to first draw with the goal of publication. Prospects for artists in Columbia, according to the student artist, are dim and WOMG.L' p~~ X - - .ie turned me d April Foolk Attempts A YeNtrdlay' was a bad day for at lea>t one unsuspecting Carolina studet. lie rolled out of the wrong side of the lbed as usual, cursing the daylight. After going to all the trouble of getting up, he found his cloithes and other vital necessi ties missing. Threatening to decapitate a hall of fellow~ dorm mates, the poor stuident finally got his belongings back amidlst a unanimous shout of 'April Fools.'' Not only di-i the student become permanently branded as a "bad sport ." but he also missed his much(l - nleededl break fast. Barely making it to his first class, he found he had not only left his goodl humor in the dlorm but also his notebtooks.

"Eventually I might go into commercial drawing if the pros pects are good," added the artist. A typical "Cock - A - Doodles" cartoon takes from 30 to 45 min utes, beginning with the idea to the finished product. "I'm doing these cartoons on an experimental ground. Everytime I see one printed, I find errors. Gradually I hope to develop a dis tinct style," explained John. John also wants to develop a character or group of characters cind perhaps, later, have them syndicated for college publications. When asked about sources for his cartoon ideas, John replied, "I Aee humor in everything. I must be peculiar but often the everyday things seem humorous to me." When not drawing or studying, John's interests range from art to spectator sports. Interested in writing, J o h n enjoys reading novels. Some of his favorites are "Exodus" and "Seven Days In May." Short story writing is an ither favorite pastime for John. Like most men, John is an ardent golf fan. He also enjoys the more sedate game of chess. A man of wide interests, John attended 43 football games last year. Interested in coaching, he is a very frequent spectator of all football games played by Carolina and local high schools. John states that he enjoys work ing with young people. Next year, 'luring the football season, he will help coach at local AAA high schools.

In the men's dorms ol campus, the breeze presents a definite problem to room decorations, for the three-page P/aYboy fold - outs which literally paper the walls of these rooms instantly become the victims of the ruthless wind. Why doesn't someone invent a stronger tape that will stick to those con crete walls? Wind or no wind, the "Playboy" pin-ups will stay up one way or another. They have become a status symbol in the men's dorms on campus. The more "Playboy" pinl-u)s the better. Of course the question alway arises: are these pictures art or outright pornography? This ques tiora is left for the individual to In this,specia4l. 64-pae suppemen in the April issue of Harper's Maga zine, 14 distinguished writers discuss the delicate relationships between South and North, between Southern white and Negro; the moods and fears of the Southern people; the changing faces of the land a'nd its cities. Together, they have placed the last century in historical perspective, and created a portrait in depth of the South today that will surprise and inform every American. Contributors include Southern his torian C. Vann Woodward, w'ho shows how the North helped but tress and condone racial segrega tion; James J. Kilpatrick, conserva tive editor of the Richmond News Leader, who believes that the South will solve its racial problems quicker and with greater maturity than the North; Negro author Louis E3. lo max observing the changes in both races in his home town of Valdosta, Georgia; Jonathan Daniels, editor of the Raleigh News & Obserrer, dem onstrating how Southern industrial growth continues to make victims of its people; child psychiatrist Robert Coles investigating the human im pact of school desegregation. Among the other contributors are novelist William Styron, British his torian D. W. Brogan, novelist Walker Percy, Whitney M.
