•A Guest Editorial by the Editor of The Tatler-

Taller A War-Time Annual A great many changes will take place

in our annual, The Tatler, this year be-cause of wartime shortages of engrav-er's metal and labor, printer's labor and photographer's film and staff.

Because of a limited number of work-ers, the engravers ask that annual staffs get their pictures and all other infor-mation for which cuts are to be made to them as soon as possible. This means more careful planning and accurate work by The Tatler staff. And there is also a "rush" angle involved. The sooner we can get jobs completed, the surer we are of having a well-finished yearbook. Old plates are being used wherever possible in order to save metal for more important parts of the books.

Yearbooks will be printed on 70 in-stead of 100-pound paper this year as a result of the recent OPA order that all book paper is to be manufactured in the lighter weight. This means that a book containing the same number of pages as last year's annual will probably be 30 per cent thinner. In order to counteract that, we shall try to add ad-ditional features which will make the book about its normal size. In an at-tempt to permit the printer to do his best under wartime conditions, he asks for a continuous flow of copy instead of

receiving it all at once. Thus we ask all cooperation possible for space con-tracts and writeups. If we do our part, the printer will do his.

Limitations in the line of photogra-phy are very numerous this year. There is a definite shortage of studio workers and film. Because of it, faculty, sopho-mores and juniors will have to use their last year's negatives, and the fresh-men will have group pictures. These changes are not by choice but by neces-sity. All color film is limited and at the present time unavailable. It is hard to obtain flash bulbs, a "must" for tak-ing inside shots, and available only through newspaper priority. Conse-quently, many more outside pictures will be taken.

Sometime within the next two weeks, if we are lucky, the photographers will finish all class pictures and new facul-ty pictures. The Tatler asks the fullest cooperation of students so that this war-time annual may be one of the best yet.

In spite of these handicaps, yearbook staffs are carrying on meeting each dif-ficulty as it comes — sometimes actual-ly grinning about it. All we need is your support and understanding to help us win another Ail-American rating.

BETTY SANDEKS

What We Live By: The Johnsonian wants io deserve a reputa-

tion (or accuracy, thoroughness and fairness in eoTeriag the Win! h i op college campus. You will do us a favor If r w call our attention io any fai lure in measuring up to any of these fundamentals of good news papering.

A Fund With A Real Purpose Going up all around us now are

World Student Service Fund posters. Daily we are hearing plans for the drive planned for our campus to net $1,000 by December 1. Have you ques-tioned the value of such a drive? Have you wondered if the funds really aid students in prison camps?

Believing that it is logical and evi-dence of a thinking student body, for us to examine organizations, we would pass on to you who are concerned about \V. S. S. F. and the needy prisoners of war this information. Winthropian 'Y' representative Mary Mahon to Union Seminar>- in New York City this sum-mer came in direct contact with the work of the YMCA distributor of funds for prisoners in war camps. This dis-tributor had just returned from visit-ing prison camps in North Africa where men given a few materials are being helped a great deal.

He told of the sickness prisoner sol-diers develop from sitting and looking through barbed wire for so long. This sickness comes from sitting and think-ing, and when the Italian soldiers were given a few seed to plant small gardens with, or some music to devote their at-tention to. it helped their mental con-

dition immensely. Books to study, mu-sic to play or just anything to keep them from standing up looking out at the desert through barbed wire is their plea for North Africa prison camps.

In this YMCA distributor of funds for prisoners in war camps tour, he col-lected a violin which one of the prison-ers who is a descendant of Stradivarius had made with crude implements. The distributor wanted Americans to see what a skillful and a w o r t h w i l e piece of work some of the prisoners can do with a small amount of materials. This violin which Mary inspected had a case lined with part of the prisoner's suit, and she reports the violin was beautiful.

Yes, the funds contributed are being used for the direct relief of prisoners of war. The World Student Service Fund, an international, non-sectarian and non-political organization, provides direct relief for students and professors who are victims of war and aids stu-dent prisoners of war. The part which you contribute will go to Chinese stu-dents dispossessed from their universi-ties and to American and European stu-dent prisoners, evacuees and internees in the United States and Canada.

One thing we con-cluded this week, 29 minutes of time well spent during our busy week is that many Winthropians are tak-ing to see the movie shorts o n Tuesday nights . . . Getting over that way Tuesday, we

noted that many students and faculty members are aware of the value of these news reels on home front activities, for-eign war centers, unusual occupations, and other interesting subjects . . . And looking over the schedule of shorts for the remainder of the semester, it im-presses us that none of the programs to come are over 28 or 29 minutes in length, just a nice breathing spell between sup-per and the nightly tasks, and an in-forming medium at that. • • e • Theee T u r n i n g in our We'd Plug thoughts to those who

are in tune with the times and who are doing a good piece of work because they want to make a contribution to the war effort, we'd plug Miss Sarah Cragwell, Miss Mildred Omnwake, Miss Catherine Bauserman, Margaret McCandlish. Rebecca White, Lee Williams, Naomi Norris, Emily Dil-lard, Halen Turpin, Jane Gregg and Miss Florence Smyth.

CcLnrnpjuM-im'tM Co/mpuA . . . . w i t h A l i c e T u r n e r This week's column is a "REQUEST" one.

Silled with various incidents which proved amusing to some campusers. We'd like to encourage others to turn such material over to us when some such sentiment is attached, 'cause this is just the place for almost any contribution . . . .

/N RESTRICTION From Fort Bancroft have come these lines

written during restriction by Ed Ciofll and Charles Chamberlain. It seems that a by-word "Take It Harry" was used just once too often spelling a blue mood for many a Cadet and ruining a whole evening's fun. • • » »

"TAKE IT HARRY" The bugle just blew, fall out for Retreat There's a big crowd waiting out in the street. Grab you tie, and powder your face. Stumble dowstairs and fall in your place. Stand at attention, wipe off that grin As the Squadron Commander yells, "Fall In." Hark! The Drum Major's whistle just blew And down the street we march in review. Fifteen hundred co-eds lined up by the street! Waiting for the sound of marching feet. The girls ail whistled as we passed by

Somi of them shouted and others would sigh. But enough of this marching, enough of Re-

treat For it's darn near time to go and eat.

So we marched to the mess hall and had a good meal

Salad, dessert, and rationed veal. Now our supper is finished and we're about to

fall out When up stand the "(Cadets' and let out a

shout, . . . "Take It Harry." As we filed out in motley ar ray Again the "Kadets" were heard to say. . . . "Take It Harry." And outside stood the sore Mr. Wholey Who said we had acted in a manner so poorly. He threatened us with restriction that night And of course we all knew that he was right.

So we formed and marched back to the dorm in gloom

For we all knew that night we would not leave our room.

Oh! how true was Mr. Wholey's prediction For tonight has found us under restriction. Here we sit twiddling our thumbs

With drooping faces that couldn't be more glum.

For how well we know on this evening so fair We can't go out for a short breath of air. And why I ask, "Do yo uthink it is right. That we should stay in on this beautiful night?' • • • • I fumed and I stamped and I shouted in rage For I felt l ike a bird in a gilded cage. And "Why" you may ask are we under lock

and key Unable to go out. that "Blonde" and me. It 's al l because of these "Kadets" so merry Who came out in the mess hall with.

"Take It Harry!" e e e e

OUTSTANDING CHARACTERISTICS: Some possessions, we've noticed, a r e worth

commenting on and we wish that they were more contagious. Especially have we ad-mired campusers who own outstanding charac-teristics as Rees Dickson's sincerety, Betty Sanders' dependability. Nan Early's fai thful-ness, and Claire Maxwell 's usefulness. And we admire the creative ability of J ane Cham-ness, the efficiency of Blanche Dantzler, the progress Iveness of Jeanne Marshall, and the capability or Margie Thurman.

At tendance is one of the ma in factors tha t t h e judges base their decisions on. Your class can win if each girl adds her bit to the P e p Meet by being present , watch ing her cheer leaders and showing he r class spiri t by singing and yell ing with enthusiasm.

This is a send-off for the exci t -ing hockey tou rnamen t tha t is to be p'-.yed tha t week .

Monday night will find every t rue -b lue Winthropian tak ing a pa r t in the clash of the classes!

C., the Rev. J . Boyce Brooks, Clemson, S. C., and Dr. Pau l Wheeler , Columbia, S. C., will be on the p rogram.

S u n d a y morn ing f rom 8:45 to 12:00 the Rev. A. B. Hawkes a n d Dr. J . W. ("Bill") Marshal l , S ta te s tuden t secre tary of Virginia, a r e scheduled to speak.

The convention ends a t 12 o'-clock Sunday .

Seriously though, we do think the communi ty sings a t 7:15 before the show provide- a lot of fun and relaxat ion for everyone, a n d in a different way. the motion pic ture version of ou r nat ional an them is indispensable too The way everybody joins so wholehear tedly in singing "The S ta r Spangled Banner" is enough to give anybody cold chills. See w h a t happens tomorrow night at "Conay Is land".

THE CAPERS WE MENTIONED . . . . They closaly resembled s t raat cleaners f rom Mars whan

they invaded the dining room last Thursday n igh t—meaning those Bancroft Broomiters , a rmed wi th gas-masks and brooms, who swarmed in to the wast end of the dining room dur ing supper, to the great amasement and fascinat ion of all those w h o saw the boys l i terally sweeping down the aisles. Stopped by the curi-ous eaters who crowded out to see wha t was going on. the a r m y reversed and re t reated — and m a n y of us a r e still wonder ing ! !

UNCENSORED . . . THAT GREAT AMERICAN GAME. BASEBALL, is gett ing a round

these days, in fact , eve rywhere those Yankee Doodle boys a r e finding their way. Here 's a n excerpt f rom the South Pacif ic:

Have been playing a lot of ball again, a n d the scores of the last th ree games show us still in top . . . w e a r e almost a t the point of completing the squadron basebal l d iamond, a s t retch of land cleared of coconut t rees and leveled off to m a k e a pre t ty nice field . . . t h e first game will be played on Sunday if wea the r conditions permit . . . speaking of weather , it 's been unbearab ly hot he re of late, and it 's only t h e beginning of summer! We really dread the next six mon ths '

And we fuss about the cold — I guess nobody is ever satisfied! TOOTBALL FOR A CHANGE . . .

Now for some football a f t e r long silence on t h e subject . Of top interest was Clemson's wallowing over Davidson last week end to the tune of 26-6. Definitely in the spotl ight for score-gett ing playing were Tigers J im Whitmire . Bill Rogers and Ar thu r Trompore . And nobody played circles around Ends Chappell and Ruussell or Guards Simpson and Traynham.

And we'l l just forget that Ta r Heel Carolinians hit those Sand Lapper Carolinians 21-8 last week end THIS STRAYER . . . .

Landing on page th ree la»t week through ci rcumstances be-yond its control was a spor ts story quote. "Clubs Par t ic ipate In Novice Clashes Set For Late November" , and w e want to urge all members of campus clubs to s ta r t oiling u p the crankcase and tu rn out for that championship cup. Remember , no P . E. majors a re allowed to p lay . . . and B. S. U. still has the cup!
