The Engineering Departmient took THE GAMECOCK's hint aibout paving the muddy p)laces about the walks of the camipus, but they used the p)er fectly good ashes for top covering, when there wecre the useless Good Roads bulletins by the thousands. Honey Boy's Minstrel is one of the best showvs that has come to Co lumb)ia. That quartet sang with harmony and melody almost divinie. It renmindled us of the University Glee Club when they sang at Vash ington Street Church last week ! We knew- there was something funny about the Dean's speech on Houston, for listening to it and quoting it has provoked back-hand compliments by a member of the faculty aimed at this poor para graplher, who did nothing more than attend chapel the clay the professor was absent. No, sir, you couldn't believe he said it- unless you had heard it with your own ears! State Preliminary Next Week. Again in the course of college events, the time has come when the university must select a man from among a number of aspirants for forensic honors, to represent her in the oratorical meet of State colleges. In the years past the majority of the audience who attended this prelim inary was composed of the citizens of the city, while the students and faculty, for a great part, have been exceedingly conspicuous by their ab sence. This year has seen marked changes in more ways than one within the walls of Carolina, the (lawn of a new era is at hand, the bars to a greater future have fallen, and Carolina fares forth on the l)roa(l highway of bigger and better things. We feel that it is not neces sary for us to call attention to the students and faculty that in all meets of oratory and debiate their presence is more than desired, for we feel that the time when the attendance to these meets were composed chielly of out-of-town people is passed, and no longer will the students and fac ulty of Carolina be conspicuous by their absence. We owe it to the men who give their time up from other things and strive to qualify for this honor. You would feel hurt if any one accused you of a lack of in terest'in the affairs of your college, but before you resent the accusation analyze your past actions, and see how much you have done to show the interest you are accused of not having. If you find you have it, but it has lain dormant all the while, awake yourself and get into the cur rent of progress that is making Carolina today in the eyes of the world. A New Life is Born. If any one wvho has not v'isitedl the University of South Carolina wvithin the last year or twvo were to cross the camipus and look for changes that have taken p)lace, perhaps less strik ing of all ivould be the material changes. He wvould see only one newv building and a few repairs, but that (does not signify that the atmo sp)here is the same as it wvas two years ago--or even last year. No one wvouldl believe that the name of this great old1 institution wvill ever be changed, or that the time will ever come when the alumni will be (he p)rivedl of saying that we graduated at the University of South Carolina long, long years past, but here it is the same old institution moulding characters and training men to serve the State. We are glad that is true, because the past' with all its experi ences makes 'the foundation upon which the future must stand. This identity means that the same old name will stand, and that there will always be an underlying same ness in Carolina; but the most grat ifying thing of all is that we are expanding every clay in one line or another and the sun never rises but what new life is born. A few weeks ago we published an article on Easter Week, outlining in some detail a list of events that com posed the tentative program for what promises to be a great function in the social life of this campus. That program has been completed and is published in this issue of THE GAMECOCK. Now, we invite the student-body and faculty not only to read this program but to lend a helping hand in making Easter Week a success tliatp will characterize the college year. Think of having ora torical contests, baseball games, ten nis, picnics, receptions and (lances for a whole week; honestly, that is enough to make the faculty forget to assign lessons. But what we want is co-operation right now, and we want it from everybody. When a student-body meeting is held to dis cuss and propagate this festive cause. do not grab your hat and leave chapel because you think that you will be called upon to contribute twenty-five cents, or that you will be marked ab sent in your class. It might look like a small thing to the fellow who does not stop to think, but it is not a small thing. If you lend your support you are doing your moral duty, and if you do not lend your support you will reveal your char acter to a great extent. Now, let us pull together and support those who are in charge of this Easter Week program. It means something for us and a great something. Other universities are enjoying this cele bration every year, and we see no reason why Carolina cannot fall in line. This is a new phase in the social life of the institution and it behooves us to make it a success. I. C.
