Faculty Orientation And for the first time since these conferences began, it was suggested that a similar program be adopted by the faculty to orientate other faculty memb?rs who also are commuters—to SC and what it stands for.
It was pointed out that a great many faculty members, like students, merely come to SC, teach some classes, and leaw when they are over, without ever really get ting to know- the school.
The problems of integrating the independent student into life at SC was l>?ld similar to the commuter integration problem — but with these additions:
Both Greg Taylor and Lauretta Misraje independent mens and women's representatives respectively, felt that eliminating independent apathy would have to come gradually through an intensive publicity campaign.
OK Rmind-TTp But Taylor said he believed the “orientation w?ek round-up'• program was a very big step in the right direction. He and Miss Misraje emphasized, however, that perhaps a new word could be found to replace independenr. They felt that as things now stand there is a mistaken stigma attached to the word which make

By Jim Morad
A Florida hypnotic expert has attempted to contact Pat Morris, the SC coed who has a chance to win $100,000 on the NBC TV program “Truth or Consequences” Friday night. In a letter sent to Mrs. Charles Morris, Pat’s mother, the hypnotist insisted he could tell Pat how to break through the hypnosis. If she was successful the fee would be a flat $25,000.
Pat is staying at the Statler Hotel and also attending classes and was not informed of the letter until yesterday afternoon when she excitedly replied: "Really! I didn't know a thing about It.”

Pat is being accompanied by Miss Betty Goody, president of the Hollywood Women's Press Club. Miss Goody is an alumna of SC and the Delta Delta Delta sorority. Her job is to see that no one tries to put Pat under a hypnosis which would make her immune to the hypnosis Friday night.

WAMPUS WILL LAMPOON CAMPUS ON THURSDAY
Wampus, that fun-loving and completely irresponsible humor magazine, is due to hit the campus Thursday, and, according to early reports should leave quite a mark on everyone.

For a menial fee of 25 cents, two-bits, pne-fourth of a dollar, 2 pesos, or 5 56 of a pound sterling, laugih-lovers will have an opportunity to gorge themselves on some of the best material found (by the editors) in any magazine.
The Wampus will be sold in frunt ol the Student Cnion and Founders Hail, as well as at Currie’s and Trojan Studios.
“This year's mag will be the greatest In its long 37-year history. We spared practically all expense in hiring some of the finest writers of humorous material within a one-mile radius of the university,” said the editor.
A bargain is oflered for those who wish to subscribe to Wampus. One dollar for five issues or Si.25 if mailing is necessary is tire cost of receiving all five issues tihis year. An attetnpt is being made to deliver the magazines to the subscribers on Wednesday night.
Willy the Wampus bird, that predatory animal of years gone by, says that the Wampus inner circle hopes to sell out th.is year as they are circulating the sheet on w city-wide basis.__
