THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1936 Comments On The Game Just before the kick-off at the Carolina-Clen son game last Thursday, Sam Cartledge, presi dent of the University of South Carolina student body, addressed the entire crowd of 18,000 people and informed them that students of the. Univer sity are not in favor of liquor drinking at fooutal games. Whether it was this message or whether it was the weather that kept the public from drinking is not known, but certainly there was mllch less than in former years. The old "fight-a-minute" that characterizes the annual classic, was missing. To our knowledge, there were only two fights dur ing the entire game. Students of the University are to be congrattl lated on their splendid conduct. The same goes for the public. And while congratulations are in line, a few bouquets should be thrown at students for their yells. It it hadn't been for our cheer leaders, one could have heard very easily the dropping of a ten-cent piece in the Carolina section. Tony, the peanut man, found that he couldn't sell any of his parched nuts, because students thought that cracking shells would disturb the others present. When yells reached their lowest ebb, Dink Gaines and Betty Iorton, last year's cheer lealers, forgot the usual5 dignlity of sp)onsors and tried to pepI up tile Garnet anid Black supporters, bult their etiorts were in vain. Milking the Carolina section yell wais like making Billy Goldberg enter tile ring againlt Coach Pauly. Carolina cer leaders havi e worked except ion ally hlard this yearl. They(' hiave pullled off many unique features for our' grid battles. It only seems logical and et hical that thle studeltnt body would show thieir' appre"iat ion for the chIee'r leadlers anld the team byll letting oflf a few utteirances at the re maitnder of tile games this season. If we go to Orangeburig with the same amuiount of spirit that was shown at the Clemson game, tile bull pups1) wilI runt through ourli' ne like a freight train passing a t ramTp.

Think it over, brother, and then let old Frank hold the neensr fnndl. The Faculty Takes A Hand "Effective October 20, 1936, and uihtil further notice, no formal dances may be given at the Uni versity of South Carolina or by any organization in of the University of South Carolina at any lo- PO cation in or out of the city of Columbia, unless de the following procedure is executed and ap- th proved: ..." is So starts a long resolution by the faculty com- it nuittee on fraternities and student organizations. th The main purpose of the resolution was to cut in th half the number of dances held at the University c* each year. be This action was taken only after numerous com plaints by students and parents as to the excessive s number of formal dances that were given each atu year. The committee found that an average of tu two major (lances are given each week. That is too much. The only objection The </ame"ock has to the reso- Pr lution is that it limits the number of (lances that fraternities can give each year. Only six of the 13 tie fraternities are allowed the privilege of giving st, a dance each year. It seems that each fraternity th; should be allowed to give at least one (lance a year. cr Every fraternity has a Founder's (lay, and it is is the usual custom for a banquet and at (lance to he given that night. It only seems fair that they should be allowed to celebrate. th The committee's interpretation of a formal dance ar is rather unique.. "The committee on fraternities th and student organizations interprets at formal ar dance as a dance given by an organization where an it is necessary to use a dance hall and employ an ly orchestra." Does this mean that hiring an orchestra to play bo in a fraternity's house will, or will not, be an in- 5c fraction of the rule? te< 'rThe idea of having an auditor check the books sa of each organization before dances is a good one. dii This should meet with the approval of each treas urer. of urer. of there"""luti n wil; giv etidpntc more sa time and money. It takes money and plenty of it to go to dances. Needless to say, it takes time. e The calendar that will be kept in Mr. Harth's d' office will avoid the possibility of having too many pa (lances in the same week. An important point the committee overlooked, th( however, was that of enforcing the resolution they passed. In connection with this, the resolution states: si Ie "The faculty committee regards it as desirable wi that in the reduction of dances to be given by stu- ac1 (lent organizations the (lances shall be so spaced ins that no two major dances be scheduled in the same no week. bo, "It is hoped that all student organizations of the to University in having either formal or informal co (lances will cooperate with the administration in be the spirit of this resolution looking toward the cat reduction of the number of both types of (lances given by students." cat The Gam,,ecock is of the opinion that a definite r rule should be set dlownt which will afflect those thi who (do not cooperate. ma --.... .-- Pr Ad in Thue D)aily Princetoniatn: "WVILL THlE GENTLEMAN who wrapped his girl in one of ev thie (Coloniai Clubo curtains p)leaase return it?" e.

Every North western University chemistry gradl nte of the lst thtree years has been promptly em For The Students (An Editorial) The canteen, book store, and pre r club at the University are si sed to be operated "for the si nts and by the students." W1 e phrase "for the students" mea a bit far-fetched and vague. Dc mean that students are allowed of e privilege of making purcha! ere, or does it mean that the pi eds of the three organizations sh turned over to the students? For a number of years the thi >res were operated by the athle sociation and all excess funds w< rned over to that department. TI ar the University proper is oper r the stores, and the profits will pended at the discretion of t esident of the University. In past years we have seen very I co-op between the stores and I :dents. Prices here are no cheat in at stores just off the campus, a !dit is not extended to students as at stores owned by non-Univers n. At many institutions of learni oughout the country similar stoi run "for and by the students." !se universities, however, the stot run on a non-profit making bas d students make purchases at gre; reduced prices. F-or instance, if a package of no1 ok paper were sold elsewhere I per package, the store (or ca n) at the University would sell t nie material three packages for ne. At our canteen, however, the pr paper, dopes, cigarettes, etc., is t ne as it is anywhere in town. t,xcess wages are noi. pau ji! In fact, a number of the si tts working in the canteen d with federal funds. verybody knows that the stores Lking money. Where, then, d< profit from the stores go? kt present, we are having a lar dent union building constructed ndleton Street, the first floor ich will be turned over to stud< ivities. The furniture that will tailed will be inadequate. Cot t some of the profits of the cante4 Dk store and pressing club be us an advantage in this buildin uld not some more of the prof used to construct walks about t npus? 'here are two ways that the cante become "for the students." T t is for the management to redi. price of articles to a non-mon< king basis, and the other is for I esident of the University to tui :r the profits (above salaries a enses) to representative organi: ns that need financial aid. rhe Gamecock is quite sure that c these two plans will be execut s year. -U.
