Weather P To Out-Of BY TOM PREWETT Feature Editor Marh, the interim month be tween winter and spring, can, and often does, hold meteorological surprises for many out-of-state students attending Carolina. Perhaps new USC students from other climatic regions of the na tion and world are luckier than usual this year. The S. C. Weather Bureau tells us that we had fewer inches of rain this February and fewer days on which it rained than is average for that month. But judging by recent weather, what we lacked in rain, we made up for in snow, sleet and hail. Most seasoned Carolina students Entertainmein 'Death Of / The Columbia College Speech Department skillfully presented Arthur Miller's Pulitzer Prize winning play, "Death of A Sales man," last week-end at Cotting ham Theatre with much feeling and perception. Willy Loman, the salesman, has deceived himself all his life into believing that he has been a suc cessful businessman and father. In the last hours of his life, one perceives (via flashbacks) this de lusion. Willy, played with genius and insight by Lou Kaplan, is con vincing and impressive.

Ti roves To B< -State USC know that during this gusty month which has just begun, we may ex pect anything from snow and ice to semi-tropical weather with a wide variety of nondescript phe nomena in between. These ex tremes often alternate rapidly and cause frustration to the victims of the fickle weAther. A day that begins in the thirties may end in the seventies or vice versa. This kind of weather, typical for this time of year in S. C., has doubtless tempted many a meteorologist to take an extra tranquilizer or spend an extra 20 minutes on his an alyst's couch. In such highly variable weather, deciding what to wear can be quite a problem to ever-on-the-go & Salesman' 1 n only fault lies in his effort to pick up the pace in the first, slightly slow-moving act by quickening his dialogue, which resulted in loss of lines on rare occasions. Supported by Janet Nichols, as his wife, and Don Law and Jim Reynolds, his sons, Kaplan con trols the stage at all times. Law, an exceedingly talented performer, gave one of the best performances I've seen on a Columbia stage thus far. His transition from teenager to a mature philanderer was accomplished with profes sional finesse.

It's typi cal weather at USC for this time of year. Greeks Pin, Pool Brothers' Lovers During This Season Pinning and pooling is indeed in the vogue among Carolina Greeks at this time of year. The tradition carried out by most fraternities is a serenade in front of the "pinned" girl's dorm with a presentation of flowers while fraternity brothers sing in the background. The pooling of the male is an es sential part of all pinnifigs and is sometimes carried over by sorority sisters of the pinned girl, resulting in her pooling as well as the boys, regardless of the weather.

Answers to an exam he administered to a new crop of freshmen last semester exempli fied this. His students were asked to define the Parthenon. One slightly confused answer was, "The most beautiful building in Rome. it was located in Athens." Dr. Ferrell remarked that the increasing size of Carolina history classes has unfortunately sep arated the professor from the in dividual student, making lectures and pop quizzes expedient.
