Anybody can (o that. I f von want to do some thing worth while (itlit knocking and boost. It is a safe bet that every man in College wants to see a greater college, a better football team, a better baseball team an(1, in fact, a better everything that goes to make college life wh,Iat it is. There is one way to have such things, and that for each individual to pull for bigger things and for the student body as a whole to get together and work for a greater futtre. What are you doing toward this end ? In the student body this year wve have representatives from every col leeg in the State beside several out of the State. Some of these are men who have finisled at other institu tions and are here taking graduate work and law, while Imian' are stu (lents who completed one or two year"s' work at other colleges before coming here. Besides these we have men here from North Carolina, Vir ginia, Florida, Arizona and New Jersey. This only goes to show that the University of South Carolina is a well known institution outside of our midst. Where are the walking canes an(1 derbies that are the main character istics wvhich different iate the Seniors from his under classmnen ? WVe hope that they wvill short ly be forthconm ing, for then sonie one wvill get an inspiration to w~rite another poeCm on the tapping of the Seior canes. Since an eff(il has been mnade to have better singing at thle chapel ser vice each mior~ning a mia rked im provemuent has been not iced. Untder the leadership of ,Dr. Smith, those studlents who hav'e good, strong voices gather ev'ery (lay or Iwo for a short p)ractice of newv songs. TIhiis is especially beneficial, for with a good, strong choir to leadl, the rest of the men of the studlent body ms.. ally fall in line, and as a result we have that deep, rich, melodious music that is characteristic only of a group of good male voices. It is very gratifying to the older men in the societies to note the nunm ber of new men who are identifying themselves with the literary socie ties at the beginning of the year. It is always best for the new men to get in from the first and begin at once the work that is before you. Get on the program just as often as you can, and when you get on be sure that you go into it prepared to do your best. You may be nervous on your first appearance on the floor, but this is a small matter that can be easily overcome. There are few men who (10 not go through this pe riod of embarrassing nervousness on taking the floor before their fellow society iembers. There is but one way to get into the big oratorical and debating con test here in college, and that is to train yourself. Begin early and work--work with a purpose in view. Don't be discouraged by the failures that may coie your way at first, but go at the next one with a resolution to do more in the f ut urc than you have in the past. Fair week is only one week off. That time of pink lemonade, pin lers and popcorn will soon be with us again. Soon will the text-book lie neglected on a table, littered with posters and hand bills telling of the miarvelous things to be found on the midway. Then will the unsuspect ing freshman dig deep for his last few (limes and venture forth to see "Big Annie" and the "Boneless Man from Borneo." This is the one week of the year when everybody seems to have the privilege of doing things that could not he thought of on saner days. Like the fair weeks that are numbered among the past, this one will bring a period of relax ation and enjoyment to many throughout the State. Let's pre pare for a big one. Get your colors and whoop it ul for Carolina. 19 to o with Virginia shows that the Gamecocks have the goods. Al though we didn't win, our colors were far from furled. Tennis Tournament.
