Several weeks ago THE GAMECOCK published an offer, made by the fac ulty for the best original Alma Mater song, submitted by any student or friend of the University. The re ward offered is fifty dollars, and will he given only upon the selection of a song that is entirely satisfactory. It seems remarkable that so old an institution as Carolina should be with out a song of this kind. Many younger colleges-even the very recent and breezy Western ones, who have noth ing of a historical background, such as we have had for so long, have yet been energetic enough to acquire soigs which are every year ingraining them selves into the college life. Few in stitutions in the country have greater local color or a more interesting his tory than Carolina, and none can r*e flect a better spirit or one that has tended m1ore towards loftier ideals and the proper molding of public thought. At one time this institution led the thought of the State, notably at the time of the Nullification Ordi nance in 1832, when Dr. Thomas Cooper, the then president, was the chief expounder of this doctrine, and exerted a wide influence by virtue of his position. The college continued to yield a dominant influence in state affairs until the wvar, and always re flected the feeling of its citizens. Since the close of that great struggle the college has had an uphill road, but it is again coming into its own and will soon assume its 01(1 imp)ortance. All of these things should find a place, or, rather, expression in a song which, in a few wvords, will properly set forth the things for which Caro lina has always stood. It is earnestly desired that this song should be wvrit ten as soon as possible, as the need is one that grows more pressing every (lay. A ROOM FOR THlE PUBLICATIONS. The question of providing a room for the staffs of the th,.ee puliation in *college, is one that has often pre sented itself to members of the vari ous staffs.. The need for such a room is apparent, and the. stimualus it would give to work of this kind would be very great. The idea was agitated to some extent last year but at the time no suitable place could be found. It seems now that a room wijl be avail able, which will answer the purpose in every respect. The plans for the re iodeli:ng of Dr. Gordon B. Moore's residence on Sumter street, to be used for the Y. M. C. A. and as a social center, provide that, if desired, a room shall be reserved for the use of the staffs of The Carolinian, GAML: cociK and Garnet and Black. The furnishing, however, will have to be done by the several staffs, in whatever manner possible. The remainder of the builing is to be fitted up from the fund of $850 collected by the late Dr. J. Villiam Flinn, but this will not be available for the furnishing of the publications' room. This is an opportunity vhich should by all means be taken up, for no more suitable place could be found. The furnishing would not be a very for midable matter. Possibly only a be ginning could be made this year, but all succeeding staffs could add to the work, an.d :in time complete it. It woild seei a better plan to have a few pieces of furniture in good taste and of a substantial quality, to begin with. such as a large table, some chairs, and eventually a desk for each of -the three ptblca,ions. A type writer could be installed and save the renting of two or more, as is done at present. This subject should be taken up in the near future, and some plan devised for raising money which, after all, is the first and last essential towards making the room a reality. Game Lost to A. & M. (Continued front Page One.) sutffered a severe relapse. The A. and Ml. btnch was completely outclassed at the bat, Carolina hitting safely eight times for a total of thirteen bases. wlhile the Tarheels totaled nine bags for six clean swats. In the field, hiowever, the story is reversed, and the tale is a sad one. iere, Carolina lost the game. She made nine large errors, and every one came when a slip-tip meant rtuns. The A. & M. infield worked together like a machine, and the .head work of Black at third directly prevented one run at least. The feature of the game, however, wvas \Videman's great wvork at third for Carolina, bo0th inl the field and at the bat. Jrones pitched splendid ball, fielded his position beautifully, and brought in the first run with a warm smash through the pitcher's bo0x.
