Colmnbia, S. C., February 8, 1913.
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.
