A brisk November breeze fans over the Carolina campus as a previously lifeless form begins to stir. A USC student starts to open his eyes to a new day, a holiday. Sluggishly he pulls himself into a sitting position. From this van tage point he surveys his room and collects his thoughts. It is Thanksgiving morning and he is one of the few students re naining on campus. Iis room mate has gone off to enjoy a long weekend at home, at the expense of cutting a few classes. More awake now, he glances to ward his clock. It is already 11 a.m.! After 20 minutes of cleaning up he is ready to face the world. After "brunch" at the cafeteria he wanders aimlessly about the campus. seeing a few familiar faces. In a sort of daze, his ac tions have no definite purpose. Going back to his dorm, the stu dent realizes there are only one or tw%o boys left on his floor.
