UttDer5itiy of S. ? VOL. VII. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COLUMBIA, S. C., OCTOBER 11, 1913. No. 3 GAMECOCKS VS. BAPTISTS Game to be on Davis Field This Afternoon. VARSITY IS READY The Team Has Been Working Hard. Several Men Are Crippled, This afternoon, when the ref eree's whistle blows at 4 o'clock, the Carolina varsity will begin its first game of the season on the home field with the strong Wake Forest Baptists as the opposition. Ever since their return from Vir ginia the men have been put through severe practice by Coach Edgerton and consequently are in the pink of condition and ea ger for the fray. The return of "Fritz" vonKol nitz and "Blonde" Perry to the line-up has strengthened t h e team wonderfully and has filled all Carolina supporters with con fidence over the results of the games to come. Both of these men have made enviable reputa tions by their stellar work on the Carolina team and their return is hailed with delight by all Caro lina men. It is very probable that Big John Mills, star tackle on last year's state champions, will re turn within the next few days and, if so, will be seen in action during the remainder of the sea son. His feat of going into the Wake Forest game last year, af ter having been out for only one practice, and playing a star game is well remembered by all who saw him get away with it. "Big Un" will be a tower of strength in the line and will give anyone a hard figl-t for his old position, Several varsity men are pretty well battered up end thus handi capped. Heyward has a game paw but nevertheless will be on the job with the goods. Hill and Ervin have sustained torn liga ments and may not be seen in action. Ned Wehman has a game knee and may also be out of the game. The rest of the bunch are right there with the goods and mean to put all they have into each down. With Heyward, Langston and~ vonKolnitz in the game, the Car olina backfield is the strongest in years and should have little diffi cult in gaining consistently on any team tha1 spposes it. [ Contimued on Patro 6.]~ STUDENT Y. M. C. 1 THIS WEE] Addresses of Interest : Hounshell and Dr. I FOURTEEN COLLEGE Mr. Guerrant Very Largely ReE Crowned Conference. Entertained on Car On Wednesday evening at 7:30, the Student Conference of the Young Men's Christian Associa tion of South Carolina, opened in Flinn Hall. The purposes of the Conference are fourfold; The first is to give the opportunity for free discus sion of the principles and methods in use at various Students Asso ciations, each delegations profit ing by the experience of the others present. Second, to train men for Bible and and Mission study classes. Third, to unify the Christian Spirit of students of state. Fourth, to give inspira tion for the undertaking of larg er takss. Mr. E. G. Wilson, student se cretary of the Carolina's, presid ed over the meetings. He is an old Carolina man and has spoken at the meetings of the local Y. M. C. A. on several occasions. He presided with dignity and much of-the success of the Con ference must be credited to his presence. ADDRESSES OF WELCOME Preceding the regular program f>r WEdnesdpy evening addrEsses of welcome were delivered by acting president Moore of the University and president Ward of the local Y. M. C. A. Mr. Guerrant then explained the meaning of the conference and what was expectied of the dele gates. The first speaker of the evening was Dr. W. D. Weather ford, of Nashville. He took as his subject "The Principals That Guide in the choice of a Life's Work." The gist of his talk can be summed up into three negative principals. The three negative principals are, (1) No man has a rigt to decide his life's work on any incapacity that he may be lieve to be his. (2) No man has a right to settle this great ques tion on selfish principles. (8) No man can afford to drift into a life calling. At this p)oint the speaker gave the followving defin ition of charater "Character is the momentum we have g-ained CONFERENCE ( AT FLINN HALL y Dr. Weatherford, . Dr. 3oteat Are Features. 3 SEND DELEGATES ponsible for Success That Has Total of 98 Delegates npus and in Town. by past acts of choice." The three general princples are: (1) Every piece of work in the world is sacred; none must be called se cular. (2) If every work is sa cred, God will call some man to do every piece of work. (3) No man has a right to enter a pro fession unless he is a called man. The five positive principals are: (1) You should choose a work that will meet the needs of the world. (2) Choose a work for which you have capacity. (3) Choose a task big enough to test your full ability. (4) Choose a work to which you can give your heart in absolute loyalty. (5) You should feel that God wants you there and goes with you. The speaker enlarged each of these principals, explaining them in a way that was pleasing to all his hearers. His influence is al ready felt beyond the field in which he now works. It will be made more lasting by the direct association with the members of this Conference. THURSDAY EVENING On Thursday evening at 7:30 o'clock, Mr. Hounshell, of New York Secretary of the Student Volunteer Movement, talekd in a most pleasing manner upon the interesting subject of "Mission ary Service as a Life Work." He presented facts that made his hearers think. The needs, the great work to be done, the small' number of workers, and the vast opportunities that present them selves, were all explained in a most vivid manner. On Friday evening at 7:30 in the Capel, Dr. Weatherford gave an illustrated lecture on the sub ject of "Negro Life in the South." Dr. Weatherford's book on this subject has for several years been used in one of the study courses, offered by the local Y. M. C. A. It deals wite the question that the men of the South must ans wer.

ACTION OF STUDENTS Resolutions Adopted by the Students Monday Morning. Terms Defined. Absolute enforcement of regu lations against hazing will likely be placed by the board of trus tees in the hands of the student body. Following the unanimous adoption by the student body and by the faculty of the . resolution making hazing governable under the rules of the honor system, a committee was appointed from the latter organization to urge favorable action on the part of the trustees. Members of the committee are: Dr. A. C. Moore, Prof. E. M. Rucker, and Dean L. T. Baker. Under the terms of the reso lution, the terms "hazing" and "student" are defined as follows: "To haze is to subject to sport tive maltreatment or to make the victim of any severe practi cal joke any new student or any man who has by his actiou either expressed or implied signified his intention of becoming a stu dent of this university. Nothing herein shall prohibit the custom of interfering with the first meeting of the freshman class each year, provided. however, that no personal violence is o' - fered the new men. The power to say when this interference is excessive or when it shall cease is vested in the chairman of the honor committee. "Any man who has once been enrolled as a student by the Un - versity of South Carolina shall be deemed a student of the univer sity until he shall have severed his connection with the universi ty by graduation, honorable dis charge, expulsion, suspension or withdrawal by notifying t h e university authorities of his with drawal." Brilliant snatches from scintil lating conversation of first year men at the Flinn Hall reception: '"They sure did treat us rough this year.'' 'How do they feed you at your mess hall?'' ''This ice cream is good, ain't it?'' "'That fellow over there in the spiked tailed coat is ol Fr.eh Cm-'nenter." etc., etc.
