Competing will be fourteen men t e a m s representing the Univer sity's Men's Social fraternities. The ladies of USC will offer their talents in the inter-sorority tri cycle race which will get the afternoon's activities underway at 2:30 on Davis Field. In addition to the two races, a clown dunking and a car smash ing will supplement the gals' affair. Official starter for the one hundred-lap, twenty-five-mile main event will be Miss South Carolina, Sue Smith, who left USC last spring to reign in her current title.

The "Little 500" was begun five years ago when Sigma Nu felt a need to sponsor an event which would not only be enjoyed by the students at Carolina but would give the fraternity a chance to donate any proceeds to a worthy cause. Beaches Dr Weary US( By TOM PREWET Feature Writer Summer vacation is now only a few weeks away for most Carolina students but every weekend finds a large group of eager sunwor shippers headed for the beach. As soon as school lets out for the summer, thousands of students will converge on the grand strands of various beaches to try to top the antics of the stars of the popular "beach party" movies. Some beaches offer d a n e e s, rides, refreshments, games and fishing piers. Most beaches pro vide secluded jungle drives, juke boxes, souvenir shops and pavil ions All beaches feature sand spurs, sharks, jellyfish and sun burn. Until summer, students can toughen themselves for the trau matic experience by making brief 'A-PREST )TTON SLACKS SHIR TS -$1.98 sHIRTS - $2.59 OR $5 K VT'S embly - Open Evenings daway Ceinmibin. S.

At the close of the weekend, the students sadly r e t u r n to the campus wearing their flaky sun burns, sandfilled shoes and sea shell-encrusted bathing suits. The weary sun-worshipper drags himself to his room and before passing out on the bed wonders, "Was it worth it all?" As the exhausted student rapidly drifts into sleep, a whispered answer leaves his parched lips . . . "Hell, yeah!"

This week's selection comes from the "Parables of Chaungtse." We know little of the life of Chuang Chou, better known as Chuangtse (B.C. 369-B.C. 286) ex cept that he was a native of the little state of Meng where he lived a hermit's life and that his only known position was that of an officer of the "Varnish Grove." The following consists of selec tions with flashing humor. These are things he tossed off very often in the midst of discussion of the deepest problems of philosophy. 1. The Butterfly's Dream. "Once upon a time, I, Chuang Chou dreamt that I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butter fly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was Chou. Soon I awaked, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming that I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming that I am a man. Between a man and a butterfly, there is necessarily a distinction. The transition is called the 'transformation of material things'." 2. Final Instructions.

"I regard the heaven and earth as my coffin and outer coffin, the sun and the moon as a pair of jade gifts, and the constellations as my burial jewels. And the whole creation shall come to my funeral. Will it not be a grand funeral? What more should I want?" "We are afraid that vulture crows will come and eat our master," said the disciples. "Above the ground, I shall be eaten by the vultures, and under ground, I shall be eaten by the ants. Why rob the one to give it to the other? Why are you so partial to the ants?" Chuangtse replied. 3. Chuangtse Fishing. Chuangtse was fishing on the Pu River when the prince of Chu sent two high officials to tell him, "Our prince desires to burden you with the ad ministration of the Chu state." Chuangtse went on fishing with out turning his head and said, "I have heard that in Chu there is a sacred tortoise which died when it was three thousand years old. The prince keeps this tortoise carefully enclosed in a chest in his ancestral temple. Now would this tortoise rather be dead and have its remains venerated, or would it rather be alive and wag ging its tail in the mud?" "It would rather be alive," re plied the two officials, "and wag ging its tail in the mud." "Begone!" cried Chuangtse. "I too will wag my tail in the mud."
