UNIVERSITY 0F TENNESSEE A Profile For the symboI-minded, here,s a collec- tion of memorabilia that should be familiar to Tennesseek sons and daugh- ters. The student body is represented by the Directory dog-eared by the date- hunting frill seeker, and there is the football and Nahheeyayli paraphernalia for the in-the-know Joe. Throw in the university crest, a silver trophy, and the glimpse of Ayres Hall. Not shown are many other things people remember about U-T like the Hello Walk, cokes, romance on the library lawn, trailers and pre-fabs, and sleeping through those eight o,clock classes. If your cuticle can stand it, there you have a Tennessee thumbnail sketch.

The Issue at Hand In this yearls VOLUNTEER, welve tried to catch the grins in going to university. We like to think that its just as important to learn to laugh lproviding you don,t major in i0 as it is to learn to work logarithms. dee kept this in mind in attempting to do an annual strictly for and about the students. Naturally, this ruled out a weighty, serious theme and left us with the idea of taking the Esky outlook toward collegiate life, and picturing it as ESQUIRE would. And, with permission, we adapted the ESQUIRE format to our use, borrowed a few ideas, and matricu- lated Esky at Tennessee. Then we began the job of assembling the hundreds of pictures and writing all new copy that would be in keeping with our intention of not taking ourselves too seriously. Anyway, itls all in fun and we hope youill get the spirit and enjoy the 1948 VOLUNTEER. E.S.A. ED 8. ALBERS, JR.

CAMPUS P01! THAI T: University of Tennessee A happy medium of laughing and learning gives the shady Hill a sunny side Back in 1794, Reverend Samuel Carrick donned his homespun cap and gown as the first president of Blount College. He and his successors nursed the institution through lean years and many name changes, until a century after its founding, it came of age in collegiate circles and took its present name; The University of Tennessee. In Reverend Carrickis day, colonial Joe College, a rare creature indeed at Knox- ville, was typified by buckskins, moccasins, coonskin caps, and long rifles. Today the campus is teeming with Joes tand Josephines, toot and the style is toward sharkskins, loafers, tootersi caps, and long convertibles. The years that brought these changes brought a bigger campus and curriculum to augment the one building and the three R rudiments and classics of old Blount. The RECORD bulges these days with courses ranging from Agricultural Business to Zoology and the campus has long since overflowed to include Memphis, Martin, and intermediate points like Oak Ridge. A familiar saw around the university-iithe campus is the stateheis further borne out by its thousands of supporters from Bristol to Memphis who are as loyal as old grads but never got closer to the Hill than Shields-Watkins. At any rate, all real or imagined alumn-eyes turn toward the Volunteers come fall and football time. Traditional is the annual Tennessee-Kentucky winner-take-all brawl-winner taking the beer barrel which bears the scars and scores added down through the years. The keg is empty, but the victory is never hollow for the winner always knows he,s been in a fight. Besides this, there,s the state-splitting VoI-Vandy rivalry, the homecoming color, the rifHe of the studentsi sleight of stand card tricks, and General Neyland,s baggy grey suit. Strong in agriculture, the university for years has been turning out the man who knows fine tobacco, cattle, corn, dairying, hogs, cottom White barns . . . neat orchards . . . lush green fields . . . farmer students take pride in these model features of the U-T farm. Perhaps even more students enjoy the farm by moonlight and are better acquainted with the beauties along the secluded lanes. Dear to the fun-Ioving agri-cult is the annual spring Round-up-a bucolic cele- bration complete with hog calling and cow milking. Harvest time sees the Ag Club take the barnlike gym, fill it with dancers, blend in kick and hick music, and add cider to taste. Garnished with harvest decorations, it,s Barnwarmini. A familiar, even traditional, sight are the surveying parties which perennially map their way around the Hill. Newly acquired wartime electronic equipment augments the more conventional tools of the engineers, who want to discount a widespread belief that they are a bunch of T-squares having little time for anything more womanly than the ouija boards which dangle in leather cases from their belts. Slide rules, the chain jockeys report, are like women, having a variety of figures, being highly unpredictable, and giving numerous wrong answers. However, this doesnit frighten the intrepid engineering set which annually picks four queens, the Iovelies who grace their ACE Dance. Tennessee boasts the best when it comes to coedification in home economics. Theory and actual practice share importance on the credit sheetSetextbooks and homework is balanced with sewing, cooking, craftwork, patt-time work uptown, and practice home management. Up Main Street hill, one can see frock-coated and derbied law fraternity initiates expounding on torts and briefs. There too, budding barristers brush up on court procedure. Economists, marketeers, and hucksters wearing sincere cravats stream into Ayres business administration classrooms intent on developing from 97 cent weaklings into financial Atlasesx At a back table in ESCE, one can see preoccupied pre-medics Boning up and dividing their attention between thick sandwiches and thicker text- 00 s. Necessary to any campus canvas of Tennessee ate splashes of: orange and white . . . bronze for the Volunteer, symbolically holding aloft the traditional torch . . . the candle light and shadows of Aloha Oe . . . crepe paper colors of the fraternity and sorority formals . . k black for the coffee at Byerley,s . . . gray stone, red brick, and sooty slate. Especially nice to remember are the Miss Tennessees, the jeep jaunts to the favorite haunts of Big Ridge and the Smokies, the Nahheeyayli weekends, the laughs of Carnicus, the pre-dawn breakfasts in the chrome diner, the girls as seen from a vantage point on the waII-or from any other angle as far as that goes; Thatis the way it is around Tennesseeis pleasurehouse of learning nowadays, and one might safely predict also that future Volunteer students wonit stand short when it comes to getting a laugh along with some mighty serious book Iarnini.
