Students I Fall Seaso By TOM PREWETT Staff Writer Attention, Students of Carolina: Fall has fell! Gramatically correct or not, the current season has done just that. Freshman Class Causes Changes By WILL BALK Staff Writer A campus-wide surge of grati tude toward the Freshman class and the Administration has become evident among upperclassmen; thousands of faces glow with ap preciation for the wonderful changes brought with the class of '69. The University, once offering little but computer - scheduled classes, now blesses us all with two unfinished dormitories and one un finished cafeteria; with lines at meals which rival the length of registration lines; with electricity black-outs during odd hours of the day. These innovations provide an educational program daily. Innum erable advantages otherwise un available have been thrust upon us. How many girls can honestly say that their dormitory room was a closet? Who can count the friends everyone has made in the lines for meals? Isn't standing for an hour or more great for build ing up leg muscles? Who knows when an air raid blackout may come? Repeatedly the Administration declares the growing size of the University brings growing possi bilities and problems. What may we look forward to in 1966? i"amanos Al1ez ons! Let's go!

Also, the fashions around the campus tell us so . . . and the colors of the trees tell us so. But not until last Friday night did the weather tell us so. Now that Jack Frost has made his first appear ance in Columbia since last year, we can count on lowering tempera tures and the appearance of cer tain phenomena which pop out at the first signs of autumn. Carolina students may look for ward now to football games with out drag-along cans of insect spray. The usual crop of coduroy slacks, suede shoes and bulky-knit sweaters is bound to show. Girls asked to go on walk-type dates on cold nights will begin to tell their suitors to "crawl off." Men's bar ber shops will begin to go bank rupt as the male campus popula tion begins to prefer human hair overhang to camel hair earmuffs. All sorts of nice things happen around autumn time, like Hal loween and Thanksgiving and har vest time dances, but what can equal the Fair for good, clean (hah) fall excitement and fun! ('an you think of anything so titil lating as watching the ever-popular hoochie-coochie girls plying their wares beneath a banner reading "Twenty girls . . . count 'em . . . 20!"? What could be tastier than pink and blue cotton candy coated with a thin, barely detectable crust of dirt? Fall can easily be the most exciting season of the year . . . or if you like, it can be the dullest . . . but then you've only got four seasons to choose from, so what the heck, make the most of it.

I ju%t Ornotholog] Characteris Biy LEWVIS LEVY Feature Editor In the animal kingdom are found many strange and exotic species, but the strangest of all must be that odd hird known as Studentis carolinensis. Studentis carolinensis is strange ly akin to the mythical phoenix in that he literally burns himself out at the end of a nine-month active period and then rises from his ashes three months later. This process is repeated for some four or five years, depending on the in dividual specimen. At the end of this span, he disappears from this area and is only seen in crowds of his contemporaries e v e r y few years. Much has been said and written about this creature. Some authori ties claim he is destructive, hostile, and altogether incompatible with human existance. Others cite him as being among the active and hard-working of birds, a natural friend to man. Irregardless of these two opposing points of view, Studentis carolincisis leads an in teresting life during his active period. The female of the species (an be particularly fascinating. At the beginning of her active life she wears a lightweight, brightly colored c'oat of feathers. The coats of no two females are identical. A round the beginning of October she molts into a much darker and heavier coat. If two females with similar coloring should meet, they both assume an air of hostility. In April the female will again molt bac'k into her original covering. finished registration." ist's Stateme tics Of Strair Thus she remains until she burns herself out at the end of May or beginning of June. The male of this unusual species is not quite so prone to molt. For varying lengths of time he may continue to sport his warm weather feathers, although the days may have already become cooler. Dur ing the winter his covering is heavier than usual, but his color ing remains approximately the same. From year to year, however, there may be startling changes in the appearance of any one individ ual. The male of the species is usually good natured and fun loving. Once a week, for a period of some ten weeks after he has regained his activity, a special group of males will engage a similar group comprised of mem bers of a neighboring and closely related species in a form of mock combat. Usually the members of both species watch and seem to enjoy this form of entertainment. Such a fracas occurred a few weeks ago with Rellhopis citadalis.

Well, weep no more, my friend, the answer to your problem is a simple one. All you have to do is join the Slater crowd and stand in line.
