Flinn Hall!
What about that ganie?
\e must rememlber that it is very
early in the season.
Flinn I Hall is now% the greatest build
ing on the Campus. I Here we find
almost every county paper in the State,
and those that are not to be found are
oin their way.
Coach Neff is not at all discouraged
over the game last Saturday. and he is
now%, putting the men through some
hard practice, and by Fair Week we
expect to have "The strongest football
team in the State ;" that is. we intend
to give Clemson a battle to be remem
bered.
CHRISTIE BENET.
Every loyal Carolina man knows
Ir. Christie Benet. Those w%,ho are
not personally acquainted vith him
should. at their first opportunity, make
themselves <nown. This man is the
best friend that the University of
South Carolina has today.
On last Monday night Mr. Blenet
caie down to our football squad meet
ing and gave the team a short talk.
WVe wish that every man on the cam
pus couldl have heard his encouraging
words. lie says when he can find a
fewv leisure hours from his wvork that
lhe is comning dlown andl help our team
oni to victory. WVe all remember the
glory that he won for us last Fair
Week. He took our team, as shat
tered as it was, and made it, in our
op)inion, into the greatest team in the
world. For this one act alone Caro
lina loves and resp)ects this man. But
for his many other services adddd to
this, words fail us wvhen we wvish to
express our applreciation, and only by
looking deep) dowvn into the heart of
every true and loyal Carolinian, can
our honest feelings for this man he
found. We will certainly welcome
this man on the foot1al1 f,eld, a.nd ...
wish, and even beg, that he will visit
the campus as well as the football
squad as often as it is possible.
THE SENIORS' PETITION.
The Senior class presented a petition
to the board of trustees several days
ago asking ' that the Senior class be
granted voluntary attendance - to
chapel, with the excebtion of Monday
morning. This petition was signed by
every student in the University that
was asked to sign it. Not a single
man refused to put his name to the
paper. This shows that the sentiment
of the whole student body .was in ac
cord with that of the Senior class.
We wished to establish a law that
when a student rose to the position of
a Senior that he be allowed some few
privileges more than those of his fel
low underclassmen. After going to
chapel for three years, day after (lay,
we think that during the fourth and
last year, it should be left entirely
with the individual a.nd not with the
officials of the University, as to
whether or not he should attend
chapel. As we said above, it was the
voice of the whole student body almost
to a man, that this petition should be
granted. Now, when the officials of
the University refuse to agree with
the student body, we know that
trouble is going to be the result. A
petition is rarely ever presenited to the
board of trustees by our student body,
but when we do presenit such, we beg
that it be considered that we, individ
ually, are the ones whom the laws
affect. and that the honorable board
should not turn it down for the sim
ple and unjust reason that one man on
the faculty values his opinon higher
than that of the entire student body.
Most things which concern us are left
entirely with the student body, and we
always try, to the best of our ability,
to do what is right. We hope that the
same petition will be presented at the
next meeting of the board, anl that it
will be considered from the students'
standpoint and not from any individ
ual's point of view.
THE DORMITORY AGAIN.
Did you know that there are no more
quarters on the campus of the Univer
sity of South Carolina today for hous
ing students than there were sixty-two
years ago? We have not had a new
dormitory since fifteen years "before
the war."
Also, do you know that the student
body is larger by fifty this session than
last ? \Ve have had to convert serv
ants' houses, 01(1 class room and kitch
ens into studlents' rooms. We have
used up ev'ery nook and corner and
crack on the campus, andl now we need
a new dormitory'. This is essential to
the future growth'of the University.
Howv can we exp)ect to get new men
when we have no place to putt them ?
H-owv can we grow without increase in
the enrollment of studlents ?
Although our chapel is badly in
needl of a successor, still what we must
have is dormitory space.
W'hat we want, and wvhat we will
get if the men get behind this need, is
a b)uilding to hold sixty students.
Send a copy of THE~ GAMIxcocI
home.
THE POSTOFFICE.
We beg to call attention to the fac
ulty that we need a better airangement
for getting our mail. There is a pack
and jam at the window twice every day,
and it takes a very- very long while
to get our mail. We have the best
man in college for postmaster, but he
hasn't the conveniences to allow
him to distribute the mail very hastily.
We are now nearing the four hundred
mark on the enrollment of the Univer
sity, and for one man to stand up and
give each individual his mail, takes
considerable time. Something must
be done. We woulk suggest that the
mail be delivered to each tenement,
and that a man be appointed to dis
tribute it to the rooms. If this sug
gestion does not meet the taste of the
management, we would like to see a
lock box given to each dormitory, with
keys enough for each individual.
THANKS.
There is one person among us who
has done us very much good, and we
know that we voice the sentiment of
tile whode student body when wAe give
Mrs. Twitchell our sincere thanks for
the part she has taken $n making our
Monday morning chapel services a suc
cess. On every first day of the week
she is found at her post with a beauti
ful violin solo prepared for the many
lovers of music in our student body.
This is one of the features which
makes the Monday morning meeting
an enjoyable occasion. Ve wish to as
sure Mrs. Twitchell that we appreciate
her kindness in doing us this favor,
and when the students leave this insti
tution they will carry with them tile
fond remembrancc of those lovely vio
lill solos. We trust that the time will
come when we can show her our ap
preciation by some act of kindness and
not )y words alone.
