probleis facing our Congress and government,though political platforms fail to reveal them,to occupy the minds of all whose mind isworthy of being applied. Can the labor versuscapitalism and ownership battle be finally set-tied with mutual acceptance, or will the strifecircle on, demand, strike, acquiescence? Canthe prejudices of race, color, and creed beminimized into unimportance and extinction?Can the people of our own country who knowpoverty, hunger, or privation of any naturebe satisfied of their daily needs or will pov.erty, and privation continue to be the blackmark of our civilization? Can illiteracy beeliminated by more federal anld state help tothe agencies of education and when will thosegovernments realize this need? Can the Presi-dent of the United States and all other stateand federal officers be the most capable menin that state or this country or will the rankodors of avaricious politics continue to avertmany of the best men from the service of theirstate and nation? Can the South bolt the one-

party system or will it contimue to remain innational political obscurity, an wifavoredchild?

Once again Carolina has led the way in oneof the most important jobs that it is thehome-front's privilege to perform.

The Foot Is OffThe Face

And so again we say good-bye to rolling Gibbes Green, toLegare and Dessausaure, and to the gentle Southern architec-ture of all aging chapel. (This is not a Travel-Talk!)

Forgive me if I wax a bit sentimental on this memorablegraduation occasion (weddings and funerals affect me thesame way!), but I feel the "bacholaric" urge! This being (andthis time I ain't kidding) my last week of suffering thetortures of this column, I wish to say farewell. Let us hangour books on the weeping willow tree-adieu, adieu, kindfriends, adieu!EDITORIAL ON COLUMNING

(I might well direct this paragraph at one R. Bass. Theunfortunate lad is destined to become my successor in thisspace. However, I'd like to swear you all to secrecy on whatI am about to divulge, because I'm filled with morbid curios-ity to see how the illustrious Bass will conduct these ill fatedinches-without being aforewarned of their treacherous-ness!)The columnist equips himself with several yellow copy

sheets and the worst typewriter in the office. The pencil be-hind his ear serves but one purpose: before he has poundedout his twenty inches, he has consumed the eraser of sameand is having trouble digesting it.The indigestion, however, may be attributed to anyone of

numerous causes. After he has typed out one sheet of hismanuscript, he turns in search of another. The discoverythat some other scribe has made off with the rest of his copysheets is not conducive to an altruistic disposition. le isforced to type sheet two on the back of a discarded HonorCouncil story.

Sheet two completed he rifles through the confusion ofpapers at hand for some notes lie needs. The notes he findsare being utilized for writing headlines. Okay, so he turnsback to his typewriter to make up wvhat lie was going to copy,but, no, iiow he don't ever got a typewriter. Big news storymust be typed immediately.

Well, the guy's an accommodating soul so he thinks he'lllet 'en use the machine while he rushes out to scare up a littlenews. iIe journeys down to the canteen in search of an in-former. Settles himself in a booth with Iutchinson who al-"Ways knows all. Learns a little good do)e. Hutch departs, andfrom a nearby table an eavesdropper comes over. Ie's over-heard the big scoop the coluniiist has just been given, and"doesn't think it would be wise to print ''."

Back in the office, the columnist reclaims his machine. 'le's got nothing to go on but his own ingenuity, which cer-tainly is not going to hold out for ten more inches. Well, he'lltry his hand at poetry for a coul)le of inches. Suddenly greatguffaws begin surging over his shoulder. 'Tis Ernie Daviswho has completely misconstrued the "pome," and Cndows itwith a distinctly lewd interpretation. This in due time isbrought to the attention of the editor who would never havethought up the angle on his own hook. lowever, since it hasbeen suggested to him. he thinks it wise to junk said "pome."The columnist again finds himself with a I)erfectly blanksheet of paper and an even blalker mind. Perhaps, an e(di-torial on campus social relations will (10 the trick. But theeditor who has nlow becolme conscious of his subordinates'existence and is now prowling arounld the office looking forsome copy to swipe. "This," he decides, "will make a fine edi-torial for my page." And so the column1ist hlys dowvn hisheads (by this time he feels as though he has three!) and

There is no alterniat ive but to lift from D)orothv Parke'slittle volume of caustic gems. And if you dlon't mind( so wewill:WITH APOLOGIES TO DOT

"Go seek, my love, your ntewer wayi'll not be left ill sorrowSo long as I have yesterdayGo take your dlamned tomorrow''

(Tfhis might well be the sentiment of the Carolina lasswhose love is going home on leave-doubtless to make upwith the girl next door. Never you mind, me lassy, the FirstArmy will dlrowvn thy sorrows when it arrives shortly. Andnever' let it be saidl that we should sit and wvait for the Navyto make up its mind while the Marines already have the sit-uation will in hand ! Sail on slip) of fate-our hearts arebloody but uncowedl.)WHAT SHALL I WRITE ABOUT NOW?

Well, what shall I wvrite about now ! . . . What about you?And what leads you to believe the world is in any way in..terested ini your comings andl goings! ..ou say your im-portance lies in the very aur'or of mystery that surroundsyou. .. ..hat no one knowvs your innermost thoughts. . ..Conic now, my boy, this campus wouldl never condlone suchan enigma. . . .

Else who wvill lie bum his cigarettes from. ...And wvhocould serve as much extra dluty as have you, but that p)eop)lewould connect his handsome mug with the domestic broom.*... Ah, and who but you cleaned those magnificent fowls forthe Y-Retreat? . . . Nor' can we ignore that moving voice thathas so captured the feminine heart of our university....From whence came those pinuk butterflies sur'roundhintg yonco-ed's head ? . . . You, oh master of romance, are not, cannever be a mystery. . . . For cupidl sooni will f'ind his truestmark, and we will add you to the list of one-time independentsouls who were caught and led by their public's wvish !
