For the last several years, pro: I>ects at the beginning have seeme almost as bright as they are th year, but for some reason or ar other the players have dropped ou and by the beginning of the ne> year, the biggest portion of the notorial has disappeared. And this \vi likely be what will happen this yea unless something is done about i We have been getting some of tl best potential material with whic to build football teams here as an other college in this vicinity, bt they have been failing?indeed, vv have been losing them! It is very hard to go out on th field and practice five and six aftei noons out of every week, and the come in and try to study. It take a man with self-control, and a 11101 than average amount of will powe to study when he comes in fror practicing all the afternoon. But, is the price that one must pay i order to play the game. The Gamf cock feels that some steps should b taken to impress upon the minds c these rats" who are trying out fc the team the necessity and impoi tance of studying, and passing thei work. Why shouldn't the Personn< Bureau, which has been recently es tablished, check up on these individ uals and help them in their studiei so that they will not be lost to 11 for service on the varsity next yeai Just here is one of the wea points in our whole football systen If Carolina is ever to have a gre<football team, steps must be take to prevent so much of the Freshma material from flunking. Of course the individual must have a desire t study, and a will to pass, before an v help will ever do him any good ; bt it a little instructive counsellin and help was given him, many mor would be found available for us next fall. If we hope to have a real footba team next fall, now is the time t H working for it.

From all indica- ag tions now, Carolina easily has the ^ best team in the state and should j 'n come through with the champion- ^ ^ ship. But, let's plan for next year. s Come on, Freshman, study, ahd let's ^ stick at it. And you athletic author- .'

Outsiders '1C l" will be watching us from now on. SQ Even though Georgia Tech did t'1 r' beat us last Saturday by such a large score, we have a real football ma- th l.e chine. We will have tough opposi- ai I tion tomorrow against Louisiana 10 y State, but if the students will show lt their true spirit, and go out there e and yell like they have never yelled before, then the team will fight even tl( ie harder. Let's not receive that old criticism n which has been made at times in ;s the i>ast, that Carolina students are "e not good losers. Let's boost our team; let's boost our spirit, and let dc the world know that we can be good tei it losers as well as good winners. And th u then, the annual tussle with the th 5- Clemson Tiger is just a little way of e off. Now is the time to get ready; ge let's all be at the game tomorrow, cr >r and be there backing Carolina. u. s. c. lu ;.| GIVE A LITTLE BOOST Tr. >" Stl I- School stickers go a long way in on advertising a college. Almost every re is college boy likes to send stickers to th r. his girl friends at other colleges; w( k his parents like to have them back th i. at home to proudly put on their au- a 1 it tomobile?they are proud of the n school which their son is attending, n A needed piece of service could i, l>e rendered by some organization o on the campus in this respect. If y one of the service or leadership fra- be it ternities would have several thou- a g sand stickers of an attractive design sh e made and distribute them free to ev e the students, they would be doing a tic big piece of service for their school ga II in advertising Carolina, and would th< o certainly receive the appreciation pe g and commendation of their fellow- Jy d students. Take notice, O D K, Blue po r, Key, K S K, and others. ./The price pa e would be surprisingly negligible. | . v (, 1 1 I 11 1 t WHERE IS IT? ? There is something that is rapidly sappearing from this campus; >mething that has been here since ie founding of this great old hool; something that makes of a itdent a nobler student, and of arolina a grander place to live. Its sappearance is greatly to be re etted, for when it has gone, the I niversity of South Caroljpa will r >t be the same. There are some students here this ;ar who seem to get a big "kick" it of "strutting" by a fellow-stu:nt and not speaking. There are nie, who, from all appearances, ink they are too good to speak to her students, and who seem to ink that they should not go to a tie extra effort of saying "howdy" "hey" as they pass on their way classes. Ever since this University was unded in 1801, there has been lilt up a tradition that every stunt should speak to every other | ident wherever and whenever they ssed. And not only did this come be the custom, and the habit that | is considered a pleasure and a dis iction, peculiar to Carolina stu- { nts, but the faculty also took it { ?, and by practice and precept ( iglit the students that it was the I rrect thing to do at all times, hen a professor passed a student . . the campus, there was a mutual 1 eeting given. When student passed r ident, whether he or she was his 1 >se friend or not, a word of greet* was given. Why ? Because, he I cw that he or she was a Carolina 1 ident, and that it was his duty to 1 cak. 11 But sorry to say, during last year, * d very noticeably this year, there ( s come to be a gradual estrange-1 int of speaking relations among rtain groups of students, and some ve apparently taken the attitude it it is no longer necessary to r cak. And not only has this come J out among some students, but cer- 1 n faculty members have lost all x :lination to say "howdy," and :m to derive quite a bit of en- 1 anient from this new-fangled ( ncy. In fact, there are two men particularly high authority on I is campus who seem to glory in I: alking by students and not speak-1 g; apparently exercising their I eat amount of dignity. But in | ality, are being laughed at, andl wered in the minds of the students I far as admiration is concerned. I Of course, if these persons who I ive come under the above-men-1 ined groups delight in this prac- I :e of breaking down one of the ^e-old traditions of Carolina, then is largely their own concern, alough it does affect an institution r which the University of South irolina has long been noted. Hower, let them realize one fact, facty and student-body, that they are :ing lowered in the estimation of eir fellow-students and perhaps, if i occasion should ever present it lf where they would need some :lp, some little deed of kindness, me little expression of good-will, at it might be lacking. I f you think that you are better lan some one else, don't "strut" by id attempt to exhibit your superrity by refusing to speak; your lie worth will show itself in due me; others will soon find out liether you deserve such a distinc3ii, and if so, will give it to you. DANGER SIGNAL A large number of Carolina stunts croSs Sumter street at its inrsection with Senate street, on eir way up town. At this point ere is an unusually large amount traffic, and at times is very danrous for the pedestrian who is ossing. It is very probable that the Combia City Council would take me action towards putting up affic lights at this point, if the .ident-body, or some organization i the campus would make such a quest, pointing out the danger at is present. Such is needed; it mid help both those who ride, and ose who walk. Let's submit such request to the City Council. j U. 6. C. FOR EVERYONE A college newspaper should not published in the interest of only few of the students, but rather ould be edited for the good of eryone registered at the institu?n. Nor should just a few have to ther all the news, and the rest of e student-body sit back and dend on the staff to do all the work, st here has been one of the weak ints iri The Gamecock during the st, Every student should feel that it , M. . . , . ..* - : .. > is his or her dutx to turn in to the p5 staff a news item, or to inform some member of the staff about some ai happening, which otherwise might J go unnoticed. No newspaper can ad- J, vance with only a few contributing a to its columns. We will not guaran- ^ tee that your article will always be published, but if it is creditably written, and is appropriate material for publication, rest assured that careful attention will be given to it. V. 8. C. * OPEN FORUM I take my vorpal blade in hand, forsooth and egad, for purposes professedly denunciatory. There appeared, in last is sue's "Open Forum," a cryptically signed epistle designated to defame the char acters of three upperclassmen of whom I am one. That the three in question were known to the writer is evident, since he describes the principals thus: "Only the unprepossessing looks and unsavory reputations of the . . . etc." The upperclassmen, says the writer, liave been guilty of a crime against the University. Let me suggest that the writ:r, in his unwarranted and surely un5entlemanly slandering, has been guilty )f an offense that may be prosecuted in :ivil court. The epistle was unsigned ... an * ndication of baseness and of an incipi- p? :nt sense of wrongdoing . . . and a :ondition under which no "Open Forum" j etter is supposed to be printed. My own reputation is without doubt i msavory, and my visage is nothing to rave about, but no true Southerner and | 10 well-bred person would make a point " )f such things. And who in the world g? vould call the studious, unassuming son )f Dr. Morse a person of "unsavory eputation" ? I am personally callous to defamation, laving grown tolerant to it from long subjection thereunto, but Mr. Morse and Mr. Wood cannot but resent this unlccessary denegration by some unknown vhose vituperative tongue reflects more )ile than brains, and more the desire o be clever than the desire to be sin:ere.
