Representative Hoy of Butler County, Mo., has introduced a bill in the legislature prohibiting women from wearing dresses that button up the back unless the buttons be as large as a dollar. If the gentleman had seen the latest styles in woman's apparel I think he would have intro duced a bill requiring a lady to wear at least one garment. Salutation. With this issue the third term staff takes charge of THE GAME COCK, and makes their initial bow, for the greater part, in the realm of college journalism. With a due sense of the part played by this weekly publication in the life on the campus, and to some extent off, we will strive during our term of office to keep TiE GAMECOCK on the high plane it has occupied in the past and to make it, as it always has been, the best college weekly in the South. We do not propose to make this publication a chronic grumbler or kicker, but when there is need of reform we are always ready and hope to be able to call the attention of those in authority to the needs of our institution through the col umns of TihE GAMECOCK. With the support and co-opera tion of the student-body and faculty of the university wve shall endeavor to make this publication a college man's paper in the truest sense. That Investigation. It hardly seems fair that a man who has spent his life as a teacher of Southern youth and one' who is generally conceded to be the great est educator in the South should be accused of such unwarranted charges as have been preferred against our president. It appears, however, that the legislators of South Carolina are going to find that there are at least some college presidents who will bear imvestiga tion and probably some who will not. / The best of feelings have always existed between Winthrop and Car olina, and we believe this investiga tion will prove that we have never tried to rob her of anything save in a romantic way. If there is any thing in way of monetary endow ments due the Southern universities we believe that Carolina should be remembered, and especially are we proud that our president bespeaks our wants. Posting Examinations. We boast of the fact that the stu dents and faculty of the university work harmoniously together and are always ready to give each other a square deal. When we go out to seek students for this institution this is the argument that we use and naturally it has its effect, be cause when a fellow enters college he takes upon himself the duties and responsibilities of a real man. The writer has been a student of the uni versity for nearly three years, and from his own humble opinion and the opinion of others, the students have not been given a fair deal about hearing from examinations. For many years it has been the custom to post the examination marks in the window of the mar shal's office, but seemingly they have had a hard time getting there this year. There were examinations held two weeks ago that have not been posted, and the students are compelled to take up the second term's work without knowing whether they have made a double star or flunked. We do not know what has been the trouble, whether the professors attended the Corn Show and did not have time to read over our papers, or whether our marks were arrested when they reached the dean's office, where scholarship and discipline go hand in hand, but we do know that we have made many disappointed trips to the marshal's office and have endured many nights of restless sleep because our examination marks were not posted. Japanese Tenor Delights Flinn Hall Audience. Among the most unique entertain nments yet offered the students of the university was the concert in Flinn H-all Friday night of Mr. Pomijiro Asai, Japanese tenor. This was the second visit of Mr. Asai to Carolina, and the remembrance of his delight fuil appearance last year called out a* large crowvd to hear him on this oc casion. He sang in his native tongue and in lEnglish as well. His voice is sweet and clear and full of expres sion. There is in it a wistful pathos which enables him to interpret per fectly tihe dlelicate lullabys of his peo ple. Mr. Asai speaks polished English, and his manner is charming. Even without his voice his appearance would have been most engaging. He is a composer of considerable dis tinction, his published songs having wide reputation. Flinn Hall Annex Nears Completion. The work on the annex to Flinn Hall is progressing rapidly and this convenient adjunct to the facilities of the college will soon be ready for use. It is being built to accommo date large gatherings of the stu dents, especially for such as Y. M. C. A. meetings. The need of such a hall was clearly illustrated during Founders' week, when many im portant meetings were held on the campus. This hall would have been especially adapted for -these meet ings, and such will be its purpose when completed. Student-body Letter. My Dear Mr. Scott: Please extend to the student-body of the University our most sincere appreciation of the expression of their kindness and sympathy in our hour of sorrow. Sincerely, Mrs. Mamie Burch. Florence, S. C., January 29th. The above letter from Mrs. Burch will be read with interest by every one who knew the young man who was taken from our student-body some weeks ago.
