CROWING FOR: A Better Carolina Spirit?Among Alumni, Faculty and Students. Student Activity Building?This is the only way by which student activities can be properly centered and administrated. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1933 Good Behavior Recognized That the University students did appreciate the courtesy shown them by the Orangeburg Fair Association by being quiet and well mannered behavior is shown by the following clipping from the Orangclmrg Times Democrat: "Orangeburg enjoyed very much the visit of the students from the University of South Carolina and the cadets from the Citadel. The football game was more than usually interesting and exciting, the teams giving splendid exhibitions of athletic ability and clean, good-natured rivalry. "The two institutions were well advertised by the conduct of their Student Bodies. As far as we have heard, no misconduct or bad behavior occurred during the stay of these young people, notwithstanding the fact that they were oil on a lark, so to speak, and temporarily released from exacting studies and requirements. The young folk were quiet, well behaved and made good impressions. "Students like these reflect credit upon their institutions. More than that, they help the cause of state higher education, which, very often, needs frientjs, especially in these days of economy and reduced expenditures for government. It would probably do the institutions considerable good if such contacts between the students and citizens generally were promoted more often. . . . ."Orangeburg is always glad to welcome these students and our citizens generally hope they will continue to visit us." U. 8. O. A Modest Proposal For a number of years students have been congregating before the library doors many minutes before it opens, anxious to get in. to do whatever work they must do relative to their academic assignments. Many also crowd the hall of Davis College, some studying in empty rooms, some standing around waiting for the library to open in order to go there. Many day students who would very much like to come to the library earlier than nine o'clock before meeting their academic classes arc forced to remain home, thereby not having the opportunity of using its facilities. It has been the custom of the University library for a number of years to open at nine o'clock in the morning and to close at ten o'clock at night. The Gamecock proposes that the library open at eight o'clock in the morning for the obvious reason stated above. In addition to this The Gamecock would like to point out that since academic classes begin at eight o'clock in the morning, it is no more than fitting that the library, which is supposed to bo a supplement of the academic departments of the University, should open at eight o'clock also. It might be said that additional expenses would be naturally incurred by adding this hour to the regular schedule of the library. However, The Gamecock at this point suggests that the hour from nine to ten at night be 'abolished and the library close at nine o'clock, thereby saving electrical expenses and at the same time offset the would-be additional working hour put in by opening at eight o'clock. > ...... . t More Opinion The Gamecock appreciated the following editorial that appeared recently in the Newberry Herald and Nei&y. We feel that it is especially pertinent after the recent editorial in the State concerning reductions in the University appropriation. RUINOUS REDUCTIONS E Not many people realize?and a lot of ? them, realizing, would not care about? J the extent to which appropriations for the state colleges have been slashed within the t! past two trying years, the reductions be- H ing of such severity as to jeopardize the standards, if not the existance, of these in- P stitutions unless allowances are increased before the harm done accumulates and the legislature, observing that they have managed to survive on greatly reduced budgets, concluded that the funds granted are adequate. Of the cut given the University, the State says: "The direct state appropriation to the University of South Carolina for the calendar year 11)31 was $308,024; for 1932, $290,200; and for 1933, only $16(5,000. The decrease from the year 1931 to the year 1932 was 15 per cent; from the year 1932 to 1933, 43 per cent, making an AGGREGATION REDUCTION of 55 per cent WITHIN TWO YEARS. "So far as is known, the University of South Carolina has suffered proportionally a more drastic reduction than any other state university, and is believed more than any other institution of its class in the United States." One should not be surprised in view of this revelation that a full professor at the In University receives only about $1,000 and ^ instructors several hundred dollars less. tc Good teachers are not likely to accept ,TI S t such stipends gracefully, nor for a longer time than circumstances compel them to. bi ?. a. o. Ol a The Monocle ,T1 l>: James Black and Joe Miot in tc Firpo O'Dell, former University football player, a< committed matrimony this week. d( la The K. A. House Mother says she wouldn't mind Blanche and Doug taking so many meals there if they wouldn't spill the hominy on the table cloth. The Monocle wishes to take this chance to welcome Lowell Mason, former captain of Duke's football team, to the Carolina campus. The Florists Song: An orchid to you! Thanks to Doctor Durham the Monocle offers this verse. You see where Frank gets his talent. T'was on a rugged rock they sat. lie held her hand, she held his hat, He held that kissing was no crime, She held her lips up every time. We noticed in yesterday's Record A\ rather interesting statement from Frost Walker. Frost is quoting as saying in regard to the outcome of the repeal issue, "I have figured it out mathematically and the repealist will win 3.2 to 1.1." We would hate to have you do our math for us, Frost! In reply to a letter received by the editor of this pile requesting that something be run about a certain staff member we regret to say but this is im- c< possible as it is not ethical to write about the 41 ai perpetrators of this sheet. n< Johnny Scott had an accident the other day. c< While speeding in his devil-may-care way down Saluda AvenUe he was rammed by an auto emerging from a side street. Johnny's vehicle was com- s, pletely turned over and this upset him quite a bit. He was accompanied by Eva May Dabbs, rthat delightful Chi Omega. Fortunately neither of them were hurt. It will teach Scott to quit I dabbing around. iti Frank Durham, master of mimicry and wandering poet, has been making numerous cracks c< about this pillar. However, we are not afraid p of Durham as it is well known that ho is all Bull. Nevertheless, it puzzles this column why this obvious jokester has not written a reflection some- w thing like this: I see nothing comical P In the Monocle. This Bull however is not dangerous. He does j not gore, he merely bores. Frankly he is the kind c] | of a guy that would vote dry. cl I |MII I I I1 III) II IB . Carolina To-day - Frank Durham 1 Concerning Our Black Friend Two things in The Monicle last wenk iterestcd us strangely: first, Mr. Hack began his war on us; and secnd, for this fracas he had to call in e-inforcements in the person of Mr. oseph Miot. Mr. Black in his at;mpts at humor, evidently disregards j le old adage: "Too many cooks spoil ] le froth." To us the combination of < Hack's cracks and Miot's mots has [ II the ear-marks of a "dull thud" (to ppropriate a phrase already appro- ] riated by Black.) Black, the self-styled "wandering philosopher" and rimester, j favored us last week by penning a jingle in our honor. Herewith 1 the obligation is canceled: Mr. Black and Mr. Miot, Your column's quite a riot, And your witicisms take my breath away; But the thing at which I wonder t Is the source from which you a plunder All the clever little things you always say. 2 1 a A Bit of Joshing c Joe Miot would carry on more ' lonkey-business if he were "Abel." We Nominate for Posterity: , Buford Worthy, who can speak J Greek in more dialects than any r other man on the campus. e Dave Ellison, who can make his 1 most unimportant action take on > the air of an event. t Nice Girls 1 The Columbia Day-Book in The Co- ( imbia Record recently carried a story ititled "Nice Men." It recounted ow two Carolina co-eds disagreed as 3 > whether or not all men were gentle- S ten. To decide the question they 1 rolled down the street, allowed two ^ len in a car to pick them up, refused oth drinkst and friendly advances fTercd by the two males, but accepted chicken supper at a hash-house three liles from town. When the two men ' lid the chcck and disappeared, leavig the young ladies to go back to >wn in a taxi, the co-eds unanimously ?recd that all men were not gentleicn. After such behavior, we have efinitely decided that all girls are not dies. I Sermon ^ r Last week this column included a fiery bit of rhetoric on the sub- j ject of subscribing to The Carolinian. This week the sequel to f that lesson will be offered. Only through advertisements I can both The Carolinian and The Gamecock be published. Therefore, c it is through the support of local merchants and national corporations that we have our two publi- l cations. Philanthropy is an excellent thing, hut its returns are only a of a spiritual nature and business concerns reputedly have no souls. ( They advertise with us in the hope of increasing their business. If you consider our newspaper and our | magazine worthwhile institutions, you may assure their continuance by trading with those merchants who advertise with us. And when you do trade with them proclaim * the fact that you read their ad in a The Carolinian or The Gamecock. ^ t Suggestion ( John Marion, who shuns publicity, \ imes forward with a brilliant suggeson. After reading both this column j. id that of our esteemed colleague, he cclares that a fine thing would be a t ewspaper composed of nothing but \, Dlumns, and that it be written and j nancially supported by all those who a ave personal grudges and like to air lem We have already reserved our )ace. f w. s. o.

There shall be no parties of any I kind held in fraternity houses except over the week-end. Dr. Ralph K. Foster, director of student activities, said that the exact extent of the "week-ends" mentioned in the third provision had not been definitely laid down but he expected that it extended from approximately Friday noon through Sunday night. The move, it was understood, was made after strenuous protest on the part of a number of interested parties over the recent ruling passed by the faculty completely barring women except at formal functions. The ruling was approved unanimously by the committee. The committee is composed of the following: Dr. Foster, Dr. Havilah Babcock, Professor T. F. Ball, Dean F. W. Bradley, Dean Irene ' Elliott, and Professor R. L.
