C., September 27, 1913 Here's a hand, Captain Brann. Wonder how, much last year's waiters got for those coats? Once we couldn't write, but "look at us now. " We love to add, but oh! you Burroulgh's, for those scores. Say. you short trousered fresh men, let out the hem of thy gar ment. A freshman is far gone when he stays up town after nine o'clock at night. Where would we parade on the night of the 20th if there were no C. F. W ? When school opened the office changed the tune to "J've'y body's dunning it." Remarks about P r o f e s s o r Woodrow's mustache seem to have gotten his goatee. We trust that the rumor that the co-eds are going to organize a basketball team is not unfounded. Among the improvements at the mess hall may be mentioned the absence of Sam Owen from tlable No. 3. Our New President. Tlhe University began w i t hi this session w'hat we believe will be the brightest year in its his. tory. ItL is true that with t h e leaving of' l)r. Mitchell Carolina su1ffered a far-reaching loss, but we are fortunate in having as his suIccesso,r a man who is sc well able to fill the gap as is DIr. Moore. The progress of the urn. ver'sity will 5suffer no io'e-e The men on the campus have a feeling of personal interest to ward Dr. Moore that all Carolina men have toward those who have lived among these classic halls in former days. We believe that he, being a Carolina man, has a more personal interest in t h e university than an alumhus of any other institution could pos sibly have. He has the confi dence and sympathy of every man in the student body. Each man wishes to cooperate with in him in every way to make this what in the beginning we said it would be, the best year in the history of old Carolina. Resolutions The following resolutions of re spect were passed by the senior and junior law classes of the University of South Carolina. They express, however, not only the sentiment and emotions of the law school but of the whole student body. Whereas, on the twenty se cond day of September, ninteen hundred and thirteen, God in His almighty wisdom saw fit to take from our Midst Elizabeth Kinard Rucker, wife of our beloved Pro fessor E. Marion Rucker. Be it resolved; First, That in our sorrow over the loss of this noble christian woman we bow our heads in submission to the will of the allwise, omnipotent Father. Second, That by her death the circle in which we move has lost the refining influence of a tender-hearted and lovable char acter. Third, That, our deepest sym pathy be extended to the bereaved family, that these resolutions be sent to the Gamecock, the Caroli nian and the State for publication, and that a copy be also sent to the bereaved family.

They are more than merely organizations to increase the knowledge of reading, writ ing and speaking. They are manu factories of individuality. We venture to say that nowhere in college more than in the liter ary society is there opportunity for originality and a call for ready thinking. It is a significant fact that nearly every man who rep)resents the university on a debating team is a society mab. The prelimina ries are open to all, yet society mren win not -A knowlege of parliamentary law is almost a necessity for you if you mean to stand high in your branch of life. So is *the ability to express yourself clearly and to think on your feet. No pnatter what course you may pur sue, some day you may be called upon to act as delegate to a con vention or to speak in some kind of meeting. Unless you have had some such training as the literary society affords, your duty will not be performed to the best of your ability. Your views, no matter how good they are, may remain unspoken or may be expressed in a hazy, indifferent way. Ease on the floor comes to very few people naturally, it must be ac quired by practice. But you cannot get something for nothing and the man who joins society just to hold down a chair in the hall had better stay out. The chair will stay down without your weight in it and you will receive little or-no bene fit. Make a deposit of a few dollars, a little time, and a little enthusiasm in society work and you will draw a high rate of in terest in the shape of subscrip tions to the Carolinian and t,ame cock, knowledge in up-to-date topics and the ability to say what you mean. For the Student Body. The student body as <n organ ization needs a secretary. This need has for some time been evi (lent. Several times last year motions were made tind carried that the student body go on re cord as being opposed to, or in favor o f, certain things. I-Iow could it go on record if no min utes of the meetings were kept? It could not, except 'n the minds and memories of those present and in a few years they will all be gone. It is true that most of the business of the student body is of a transitory nature, but there are actions a record of which should be preserved. We would like to suggest that this secretary come from one of the senior classes and that two assistants he elected in order to insure the presence of a secre tary i f a meeting should be called suddenly. The minutes of meet ings could be kept in a good, stoutly bound ledger, which could be left in the chapel. To do away with the tedious proceed ings of reading the minutes of each previous meeting it could b)e the custom to read these minutes only when they are called for by some member of the student body. The Gameccck feels that this offeer should be elected in order that some dlefmite record of stud1 ent body proceedings could be kept. Some years from now a volume of miniites would be of Carolina Needs You. The men who are out for foot ball look good for another cham pionship year. In the experience of the old heads, the size of the new men and the "pep'' and spirit of the whole bunch we see about ,three Inore bow--knots in the 6audular apendage of a cer tain member of the feline family and at the end of the season a Gamecock proudly crowing it's notes of victory and champion ship. With most of the old var sity back and such a good enlist ment of players from other schools and new men the outcome of the season is obvious. But there is one thing that looks bad. One thing that makes us feel that there is something wrong somewhere. There are not enough men out for practice. No afternoon has seeii fifty men on the field. Men in abundance are o u t there looking o i, all dressed up and watching t h e other fellows hit the line and tackle. Their presence t h e r e shows an interest, and we rre sure the team appreciates th's, but if they hf.ve tine to watch practice, they have time to get into practicef If they are interested enough to take time to look on, they ought to be interested enough to put on those dirty suits and heavy shoes and get a few bruises and sore places on their bodies. \Ve are all proud of what we call Carolina. spirit. And it is the best sp;rit in the world. But a man who is not out on th; t fie!d for practice, un'ess he br:; some good reason, needs just a litt!e more Caro,ina spirit. We believe that a. willingness to saerL' flee one's self and to do something one does not specially went to (to is possibly the truest expression of loyalty. Are you loyal to Cai olina?
