The Association will get out four pages of the issue and the regular staff vill see that the prin cipal news items of the week are chronicled in the two remaining sheets. We are glad to give the issue over to the Y. M. C. A. and certainly hope that its effect will be felt to a great extent. Flinn Hall is the centre of social life on the campus, anI Flinn Hall is the headquarters of the Association. In the special issue there will be special articles dealing with the growth of the association and with Flinn Hall's great inllueiice on the University. Personalities. Dealing in personalities on the athletic field shguld not he indulged in. To hoot or make any remark to a visiting player which is the least bit out of the way gives the Univer sity of South Carolina a black eve and makes the visiting teams leave Carolina with a wrong iupression of the spirit of the student hody. We know that no man of Caro lina would intentionally hurt the feelings of a visitor nor would any mian here make a remark out of tihe way i f lhe thought for a miomenCIt b)efore dloinIg so. The remarks are made in tile excitement of tihe game. WVe wvant to urge the men to be careful, in the remaining games and try to avoid any per'sonal remarks towards the "stranger which is wvithin our gate." Let the College Lads Go. Next wveek, in Columbia. there wvill take lace an event of interest to every South Carolinian and of peculiar interest to every student at the University of South Carolina, whose g-rondes were once the sene of the devoted service of those whom the Palmetto State desires to honor. The unveiling of the monument to the Women of the Confederacy, erected by the men of South Caro lina in appreciation of the great hearted deeds which enabled the purest of nat ions to wage an unequal fight for four years, should be the occasion for a display of enthusi astic reverence such as has never before been shown in this or any other State. ''hat the dedication of the noble bronze group will be impressive is assured. The one thing needed to colplete the inspiration of the scene is the presence of the youth of South Carolina, the boys and girls whose grandmothers and mothers are to be honored by the uonument. Many already have signified their intention of attending. Several col leges will send their students in a body. The University boys should by all means attend in a body-and in a body means every mother's son of them, as well as every father's daughter. Let the University boys turn out to a man for the unveiling .pril 1. Southern College Press. The Southern College Press As sociation Vill meet in Columbia with the University the latter part of this month. It is up to the men of Caro lina to see that the delegates are given a royal good time. This is the initial meeting of the organization and it is somewhat on our shoulders to give it a good start. Let every man of Carolina try to attend as many of the meetings as possible and let every one do all in his power to make the first conven tion of the Southern College Press Association a success.
