Every member of the legisla tiVe committee that visited us on Monday wore wool hats. No better way to show your col lege spirit than to help send some other tightwad to Kansas City. Thank heavens, we'll never be called on to subscribe to a Home for Aged Co-eds: None of them tire. With class football on, people begin to look at "Merry Widow" and ask "Oh, Arm, where is thy sling." Out of the fullness of Christ mans spirit, we promise the co-edls not to write another paragraph about them for two weeks. We dIon 't look so much in a dIress suit, but (like out our stal wart figure in football togs if you want to see something resplend ent. Notice how the math depart-. ment has been moping aroundl these last few dasv nnsn about th,t White House cold in the head. * * * We don't want to act dictato rial towards those co-eds, but a few more of 'them could have squeezed in to see that basket ball game. Course, it's a small matter, but it does look as though the' professors are acting mighty selfish the way they keep their' coal locked up. * .,* Another scoop put across on William Randolph! Exclusive feature of next Saturday's Game cock-English department's re view of autobiography of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw! Dig out our liver with tweezers if the Clemson Tiger didn't run a two column cut of old J. W. DesChamps all dressed up in a white suit with a milk bucket and a broom gracefully slung across his shoulder! We notice through an exchange that one of Clemson's literary societies debated the query:, "Resolved, That Clemson's ca dets derive more good than evil from the fair trip" and, glory be! -the negative won. We always were agin these fair trips, any how. CLASS FOOTBALL COMMENT. Class football has shown one thing very clearly this year, there were several men in college who could have made the team' in a walk if they had only gone;1 out. There were several men 1 who participated in the class games that would have done credit to any varsity eleven we have. We think that every man, who made his class team and even some of those that did not ought to be made to come out next year if they are in college. Especially does this have refer ence to the men who made the all-class team as selected by Mc Gowan and D)unn. PROFANITY IN STUDENT-BODY. The letter of another portion of this paper is one that strikes at the heart of a custom that is too freely indulged in, in student body meetings. It is indeed a regrettable fact that the fellows do not realize to what an extent they are harming the impression able mindls of the Freshmen. It. should be the most earnest dlesire of the student leaders of the campus to attempt to conduct all business meetings in language' entirely free from profanity. Heretofore there has seemed to be a tendency among the fellows to emp)loy as much profanity as p)ossible in order to make their assertions more vigorous We do not wish to appear in the role of ultrA-reformers, but nevertheless his practice is a serious evil to the college and should be stopped. A MERRY CHRISTMAS. To every student on this cam pus, whether he takes The Game cock or not, The Gamecock wishes a merry Christmas. It is our most ardent desire that the spirit of Christmas, that undefinable, unillustratable joy in the giving and receiving (especially in the receiving) shall penetrate to the minds of every true and loyal son of South Carolina on this campus. And while you fellows are at home, we wish that you would attempt to try, so far as lay within your power, to spread the name of the University to every man of your acquaintance. You Freshmen who are pos 3ibly making your first visit to your homes sinqe your arrival here, we hope that you will go home broadened and strengthen ed by the influence of this cam pus. We have given to you the hand of friendship, (sometimes applied in no gentle manner it is true), and we think that you hiave possibly gained a something, in intangible something, that vou will find invaluable in after life. So therefore to every one of vou we wish A MERRY CHRIST MAS and A HAPPY NEW YEAR. Whilden at the Y. M. C. A. Mr. Whilden of the City Y. M. . A. addressed the students in Flinn Hall Wednesday evening )n "The Tonic of Outgo." He rollowed the same line of thought that Dr. Morse pursued in his series of five lectures on Social 3ervice. Mr. Whilden in his address pointed out the analgous effects >f a medical tonic on the human body and the tonic of outgo or 3ervice on the human soul. He maintained that man's whole iuty is to serve his countryman, ind that a life becomes burden some only when that life receives ill and renders nothing. To ;erve is to glorify one's own: be ng and to apply the healing 3alm to the moral sores of the iuman roll. The speaker cited several, ways n which the college men can ren ler Social Service. The trained men, who are supposed to be the zollege men, can render great service by eliminating gambling, ntemperance, and social impur ties. He declared that such is ossible and that unless the Col ege men can remedy the evils >f this age, thus safeguarding the future generation, who can? I'he call for service is persona.l aind each man that empets to make his mark' in the world must answer the call.
