- • Here is o sneak preview of authentic (straight from the corridors of this university) Carolinians of different varieties. Hear ye!! Hear ye!! Here is the greatest show of the season! Here she comes...here she comes... the color-happy coed. She applies makef up like nobody's business, making of herself an ingenious replica of an African witch doctor.. .wears red shoes.. .yellow dress printed with blue flowers...black belt... pink ribbon.. .painted dark-red nails. From distance she looks like an animated totem pole in technicolor!! The girl who comes to school geared up like a paratrooper. You know hanging bags weighing a ton.. .out-of- By NESTOR M. MORELOS the-wall belt and buckle similar to those worn by Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers ... shoes with heels to compete with the Empire State Building... five birthstone rings... an oversized watch ... knitted shawl over her shoulders... bar pins as big as neon lights... wonder how they lug themselves around with such stuff!! The nationalistic and traditional-minded coed...hair dangling behind her shoulders a mile long .. .aaaaaaaahhhhhh .. .puts on sandals or bakya .. .wears a dress styled way back in 1896 during the Cry of Balintawak!!! Keep up with the time girlie, keep up with the time! And now comes .. .Oh no! Yipes!.. .Good gawrsh!.. .The teen-ager.. .plaidmad girl with her hair barbered down her skull.. .Bob .. .shingle .. .poodle ... army cut.. .ala Ingrid Bergman. When she's behind you, a fine example of a plucked turkeys behind and when she's in front of you, her head's a cabbage! Ouch!.. .hey, cut it out Alice .. .1 didn't mean it.. .hee .. .hee.. .haw.. .haw. And now comes some blah-blah on the masculine side...slick guy with his hair plastered and glued on his head .. .used up five combs and three bottles of pomade in a single setting... nearly strained his arm combing his hair... long sleeved shirts and expensive pants.... puts on sunglasses which unfortunately has become a permanent thing to cover his go-go and tantalizing eyes... day and night... rain or shine... in the classroom... in church... in the toilet... in the bathroom ... he just couldn't take off those goggles. The Bogart or Widmark he-man type.. .bright-colored fancy shirt and the... rolled-up denim pants fit for the barn dance, hunting, mountain climbing and a rodeo. The soldier-boy... knows better than to come to school in those drill-worn uniforms. During drill days, those suits become sweat-stained and skunk-smelling after three hours of military sunbath. The odor... Ugh! Phew!... Give me some air will you? Those fatigue uniforms... its aroma combined with the dugho in your seat can drown your appetite for learning... just try sitting besides these people and the classroom automatically becomes a third-class theatre with all the trimmings! There are you .. .1.. .1 mean there you are, folks .. .ladies and people ... the blow by blow account of colored indians (or is it Carolinians)?... who are ... hmmmmm ... wait a minute... see that group of ladies over there? Looks like a bunch of turkeys gobbling their heads off! Who do they think they are, owners of this university? This is not your house, girls, remember that... oh-oh... that guy... walks up and down the corridors... peeps into classrooms... thump-a-thumping on the floor as if he were the inspector or Director of Private Schools!! There he goes .. .there she goes .. .here I go .. .here I go .. .going, .going.. gone. You one of these people? Will you revolutionize and overhaul yourselves without having the satisfaction of pulverizing and murderizing me? Now... now hold your temper... we are supposed to be human beings... hey, Alice!... put that ax down will you, huh? ... Be a nnnnicceee girl... hey ... heh... heh-heh... Alice!,... Whack! whiz! EEEeeyowwww! Good gosh!! This gals a regular Geronimo!!... Zap!... Shazam!... Stars... Mars!... doggone it!.. .she's after my no-good scalf.. .so I better vamos or vanish, as the case maybe, and preserve my hollow coconut for the final exams... Bye. ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING . . . (Continued from, page 7) ELECTRONICS IN MODERN LIFE Electronics, the "Science of Tomorrow" is already here offering industrial and communication applications which are truly phenomenal. From research laboratories have come such amazing developments as high frequency heating, power system control, heating and air-conditioning control, printing, welding control, invisible rays, and countless uses. Innumerable new industries, made possible by electronics, beckon men of imagination and skill. We are living in an electrical age—an age filled with 20th century wonders; and to the uninitiated, an age of magic. Not the black magic of olden times but "electronic magic." It is a magic born of infinitely small particles of negative electricity called electrons. These electrons are the most willing servants man has. They do a thousand tedious repetitive chores. They are also capable of spectacular achievements, as war has shown. For years we have been using electrons in broadcasting and television, Xray tubes, in photoelectric cells, and in many other ways. The star performer of electronics in battles of the past war was undoubtedly radar. Ships and planes are now equipped with radar for safety and navigation. Electronic welding is now taking the place of riveting. As a scientific instrument the electron microscope is the most remarkable of all electronic devices. Theoretically, it can magnify up to 100,000 times. Electronics has already invaded the field of medicine. In the hands of a physician, the electronic tube is a valuable diagnostic and therapeutic tool. The electrical engineer has, in devising all these instruments, become the partner of the physician. Both physicians and electrical engineers are determined that the great growth expected in the field of medical electronics shall not be hampered. From the cradle to the grave, electrons will, in close alliance with all the other practices of medicine, give us new protection against disease. All these matters are covered by the branch of science and engineering known as electronics. Its basic principles have come from physics and its applications from electrical engineering, and it deals with methods of freeing electrons with their subsequent behaviour and effects.
