Football Rooter Outlines Action
Obstacles beset your path from the moment' you cheerfully wave good-bye as you leave for the football game until your heavy step wearily sounds on the walk.
The first test of your strength lies in rushing for the V car. Your worry subsided, you board the vehicle only to be squashed in a mass of humanity for 30 minutes of straining your arm holding a leather strap.
Walking to the coliseum, you are waylaid with “Buy a paper! Get the line-up for the game.” But taking a determined, eyes-ahead attitude, you reach your destination. FIND ROOTER’S SEAT
Your ticket tom from its place, you rush into the rooters section. Here, a black-sweatered Squire takes you in hand and indicates a seat with the admonition, “Watch the cards.” Sinking down on the bench you painstakingly adjusj; your dark glasses.
The game begins. A thundering roar is emitted..
Your eyes glued to the field, you are able to witness the combat. A man streaks down the field. Madly, you wave your pom-pon and your neighbor reprimands, “Please, my eye is in your way!” Guilty, you lower your eyes, only to raise them as a screeching yell, minutely gathering momentum, reverbrates. What’s happened?”
CARD STUNT CONFUSION
After a series of these shatterings of the ear drum, you glimpse a fleeting security by the gun, announcing half-time. A voice through the loud speaker reminds you of the card stunts. Shrieking, “Hey! Give me a red and gold! Quick! I haven’t got that one!” you find yourself with the four necessary objects.
1-2-3 down, 1-2-3 up. Shakily, you search for a green. 1-2-8 down, 1-2-3 up. Now, a gold. Now, a blue, and your head is a mass of rainbow hues. Some one grabs the cards, and you realize football playing is to be resumed.
At the end of the second half you leave the contest arena with the happy knowledge of the defeat of one of your enemies, but what happened to your team? Listen to the radio!
Vitamin Diet Work Told
Had your vitamins today?
That question, blaring out from numerous signboards around the country, is soon to take on added meaning for workers at local defense industries.
Since the news reports came through that Germany was feeding its soldiers a concentrated food tablet to give them added strength and resistance against fatigue, many persons have offered suggestions on similar “pep up” programs here.
Now two scientists, Dr. Burrell Raulston, professor of medicine at SC, and Dr. Robert A. Millikan, president of the California Institute of Technology and head of the institute’s nutritional committee, are doing something about it.
General plan of the project is to supply the defense worker with balanced vitamins without changing his usual diet. Details are being worked out by the two originators.
In order to check effects of the plan before adopting it throughout all plants, Dr. Raulston and Dr. Millikan will select a group of 1100 workers at the Lockheed aircraft plant, put them on the vitamin diet, and check the results. Less nerve strain, more pep, and increased effectiveness, are predicted by the two scientists as the
this area, the film offers little visual evidence of how war is fought in Africa. After fine, adult talk about war, the characters depart on the standard exotic adventure. This involves the rescue of a beautiful maiden from a tower, and necessitates a nick-of-time arrival by the English marines.
IGNORE OWN PREACHING
Speeches stressing that the British should try to understand and rule kindly their Negro citizens are especially good, yet not practicing their preaching, the filmmakers made little attempt at a corresponding dramatic understanding of the Negro character in the film. They are just the stock types, serving only as background for the story.
A fine documentation of life in a small British army post is the first part of “Sundown.” With admirable genuiness the characters of the three officers are contrasted: the durable hero, famed for his knowledge of the Negro people, Bruce Cabot; the frivolous fellow, Reginald Gardiner; and a stern person, George Sanders.
FEAR GENERAL REVOLT
Job of the three is to learn from what Italian source the natives receive gun supplies. They fear a general revolt, incited by the Italians. Had not a lovely creature in an abbreviated native costume, Gene Tierney entered the story we might, have expected a sound, realistic adventure film.
The authors were so fascinated by this creature that they soon forgot their notion of realism. The actions became more and more absurd and improbable. Climaxing their daze, they concocted one of the worst endings, least unified with the story, that we have seen. FELT AFRICAN POWER
In a few air shots at the start of the film, we saw large herds of animate galloping across the African plains. For several visually pleasant moments, the audience sensed the space and wild power of Africa. This sensation didn’t return again in the comparatively static remainder of the picture.
As in his. film on the recent Spanish civil war, “Blockade,” Walter Wanger has again chosen a news-famed war area as locale for an improbable adventure story. Yet, in spite of the story, he has had the courage to express some frank ideas on the causes of war.

Archibald Sessions Choral on the Tune
“St. Anne’*_________________ Noble
This early English hymn tune, composed by William Croft, about 1708 is in a severe outline, and rugged simplicity, but of easy range, a good tune, and very singable. It has been used by many of our great composers for the theme of elaborate works.
Prayer and Cradle Song.Guilmant Cortege et Litanie ________ Dupre
Dupre, famous for his organ playing, and a marvelous master of improvisation, establishes, in this number, an atmosphere of mysticism and solemnity, leading to an aftermath of intense exaltation, the organ lending jubilance with a brilliant array of reeds and mixtures.
Governor Olson Praises Army, Pledges Support
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Cal., Oct. 19. — (U.E) — Praising the “Citizen’s Army” America has built in the last year, Gov. Culbert L .Olson today pledged the full support of the civilian population of California to the soldiers of the state.
After formally reviewing members of the 40th Division at Camp San Luis Obispo, the governor told 18,000 steel-helmeted soldiers that America “is preparing herself for
In response to your editorial about SC women and their response to the call for aid in national defense allow me to point out a few things.
In the first place, you should know the main reason why more of us didn’t go out for the aircraft warning service. Those three hours each week come in the morning when we must attend classes. On Saturday a lot of us work, study, or help around the home.
Because we weren’t able to help as much in that field, however, don’t condemn us entirely. Many of us have knit sweaters for the Red Cross and worked for the USO. Come over to the YWCA some Tuesday afternoon and see the girls folding bandages and knitting sweaters.
Just because we don’t all talk about the amount of work we’re doing is no sign that we aren’t accomplishing a great deal!
Patricia Wiese, ’44.
(To Miss Wiese, V.E. — who presented the same argument in this column Oct. 15—friends, citizens, and countrymen:
1—an	administrative official estimates that approximately 250 women have one day free from classes;
2—only	7 per cent of this number volunteered for the U. S. aircraft warning service;
3—several	of the volunteers do have classes every morning—yet they volunteered, nevertheless;
4—your	arguments, therefore, are interesting but invalid.—Ed.)
Shipping Officials Confer With Navy
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19.—O) —Representatives of Pacific coast shipping companies will confer tomorrow with Rear Admiral John W. Greenslade, commandant of the 12th naval district, to draw up a plan for transfer of naval reservists from merchant vessels to active navy duty, it was announced today.

Ed, who started his fascinating business of key-making and harboring at the university some five years ago, keeps his little workshop and vault in a secluded spot on the ground floor of Old College.
“Vault” is a most appropriate word in this case, for that is just what it is. The room in which he keeps his thousands and thousands of keys and master keys in no less than a 10 by 12 foot fireproof, double-doored vault. The walls are lined with keys of all sizes, shapes, and descriptions. There are big ones, little ones, important ones and unimportant ones.
HOLDS EVERY KEY
“With the keys in this vault,” explained Stafflin, “I can unlock any building or room in the entire university.”
“Each key is numbered, catalogued according to what lock it fits, and placed on large filing boards or in filing drawers. The master and bub-master keys to each individual building are kept in special drawers in the ‘room/
“The master keys have twin sets of tumblers, and in the case of a ii lost key it is a very simple matter to change the tumblers as little as one thirty-second of an inch to make the lost key useless in opening the lock. The tumblers are 3| small brass pins which work up and down on the inside of the lock when the key is inserted.”
EXPERT LOCK PICKER
Ed Stalflin could be considered	h
the “Jimmy Valentine of the SC	r,
campus” for he not only makes all	y
the keys for this university, but	o
