He Wood-row of course. A freshman wanted to know how coach made the men scrimmage in the law room at squad practice. "Brother" Woodrow has an nounced definitely that he will not referee the Benedict-Claflin game this season. If those Baptists thought they could have Gamecock served a la Virginia they found 'they were mighty much mistaken. We are sorry to see that one of the football men, Hanahan, got his auditory organ so badly hurt that erysipelas has set in. "Puffed" Rice upon reading his first telegram from home was heard to exclaim: "Gee, paw's got a typewriter, ain't he?" It is rumored that a certain hackman took Hornik to Bene dict university the other night when he said "take me to the ca'mpus." * * 41 It would not be well for the reputation of the university If it became publicly known that a certain member of the faculty was caught red-handed in an at tempt to pilfer the watch of the library janitor. Sandifer was making out his order at the Delicatessen Shop. "'One assorted pies, one game in season" he doned out to the 'nit er, and when Morehead suggest ed a Welsh rarebit he innocently remarked: "Sure - I would like one of them. They are about all shot out around home." CIGARETTE DUCKS. We would not appear in the role of disciples of Mrs. Milligan who so energetically tried to in troduce the anti-cigarette doc trine on the campus last year. In spite of the fact that she has found the original forty-seven deadly poisons in coffin tacks they are pretty good things after all. They are, however, responsible for a custom that has developed on the campus that is dangerous, and one that a little attention will remedy. That is the custom of throwing cigarette bu t t s around carelessly in the halls of Davis college and the Scienee hall. So far no damage has been done but sometime one of these butts will fall among papers or other inflammable stuff and a se rious fire may ensue. The pleas ure gotten in smoking while walking from the piazza to the class room is not worth the risk. Especial care should be taken in this matter in LeConte where there is always a quantity of combustible and explosive chem icals on hand. We feel sure that it will not be necessary to call the attention of students to this matter more than once. Doubtless no one has thought of the possibility of fire and we hope to see fewer ducks smoldering in the corners, now that it has been mentioned. KEEP OFF THE FIELD. There is something that hap pens at every game played on Davis field that gives visiting teams a bad impression of the university. That is the way men have of getting out on the field. Everyone knows what happened out there two years ago and we know that no man on the cam pus would have it happen again. But even if nothing of that sort happens the very fact that Caro lina men crowd out on the field or stay too near the side lines gives the visiting team on excuse for feeling that they are not getting a fair show. One can see the game just as well from the grandstand and if every man were in the stand the rooting would be better. The manage ment has erected a wire fence around the field and we hope that no man who is not in uniform will be seen inside this fence. The Gamecock feels that Carolina supporters ought, of their own free will, to refrain from rushing lout on the field, but if they per sist in doing so it is up to the authorities to find some means of keepingr them off FROM AN ALUMNUS The following letter was re ceived by The Gamecock a few days ago: To the Editor of The Gamecock: Certain students of the univer sity having. recently expressed to me a strong interest in an im provement suggested last session by me through the columns of The Bird, I take this opportunity to restate my plan. It has been often a subject of comment that one may pass by the university without knowing the institution is there. Particularly those com ing from the union station up into the city pass and see simply a dark brick wall. My idea was and is this: The brick wall at the corner of Sumter and Pendleton streets should be torn down. At the corner should be arranged the entrance to the university grounds, marked by an open gate or better by a neat wooden arch; a stone arch may be a later de velor nent. An appropriate sign, "University" or "University of South 0:rclon," would add also to the in.provernent. If desired a light could be placed above this so that it ny be reed at night. To accommc,d 1.e Fliun hall to the change the pivvza could be ex tended in a scfnirc' towards Pendleton street, a new door could be placed where the bay windows now are, and steps could be installed at the corner. Such a change would help the university in appearance. It would give those who visit Co lumbia a realization of the pres ence of the institution. It would enable those who are directed to the grounds more quickly to lo cate them. It would be dignified. It would be inexpensive. Let's get it fixed. F. W. Cappelmann, '12. Columbia, Oct. 13. The plan stated in the above letter is familiar to those who read Mr. Cappalmann's letter to The Gamecock last year. It is by no means a bad idea and the suggest ed arch would beyord doubt aid strangers in finding the univer sity. The place chosen by Mr. Capplemann seems unfortunate. Although it is the first point seen as a person approaches the cam pus and is in plain view of the car line it is not the main en trance to the university and such an arch should be over the main entrance. If the driveways down the sides of the campus were turned and brought to a common gateway at Sumter street they would form a main entrance at the head of the campus and there would be the logical place to erect the arch. If neat iron gates were swung on massive pillars with a metal arch across the top the whole would lend a tone of dignity to the cam pus. Its beautywould not be marr ed by the change and if there weye any who, in their patriot ism to old Carolina, would object tAo its present arrangement being changed the driveways could be left as they are and be made to branch in to the main gate.
