Columbia, S. C., October 18, 1913
If President Wilson found him
self adrift in a boat what would
he do? 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."

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.
