At the Students' Conference, which met with Wofford College, much was said about enlarging the number of student cottages and the auditorium on the Blue Ridge Association property, at Black Mountain, N. C. The num ber of new cottages wanted is fifteen. The Interstate Committee is working hard to raise funds enough to make these improve ments, which will be the final ad ditions to the Associatian prop erty. After these cottages have been constructed seven hundred students can be entertained at the same time. The Committee, in endeavoring to raise this money, is asking the colleges of each city to donate one thousand dollars. The col leges contributing will have the cottages named for their college, and the enlarged auditorium will be called "College Hall." The movement is one in which we should all be interested be cause it is in these summer con ferences that students are trained to lead the religious activities in our Southern colleges. FL.OW GENTLY. Year in and year out the atten tion of the students has been called through these columns to the tr-oublesome amount of noise that prevails in the library- -un necessary fuss, if you please. Often we hear one, two, three, or more fellows "gasing" about some trifle experience of theirs which has no bearing at nall upon the subject, the library. We re alize very well that this is due more or less to thoughtlessness. We do not think of that fellow sitting across the table or over in the alcove, who has just left his room to seek refuge from the dis turbances in his tenement, or probably some unpleasantness in his own room. We are selfish un less we do stop to think of the other fellow whose personal privi leges we may be encroaching upon. Just a few days ago we had the opportunity to visit the li brary of one of the colleges of our State. The first thing that impressed us was the beautiful arrangement of books, maga zines, etc., and the second was the intense quietness that per vaded the edifice. Few words were exchanged among the scu dents and these were cased in whispers. All conversation be tween students and librarian was carried on in whispers, the li brarian putting finger to the lips when the student whispered rath er loudly. Fellows, "there is strength in peace and quietness," and when there is such silence as we-found in the above mentioned college library where the stu dents dared not to speak above a whisper or to let the heels of their shoes touch the floor, there is some inducement for us to go to our library, which by far surpas ses the above mentioned institu tion in largeness and beauty, and to take down the dusty volumes and ramble contentedly among the old shelves. There are just two or three of us whose minds can be so con centrated in study that one must kick our chair from under us be fore attracting our attention. The large majority of us are easi ly distracted from our study. Let us cooperate with the li brary corps in endeavoring to carry out the rules of the library. CAROLINA VS. CLEMSON. Ere "The Bird" makes an other appearance on our campus the tale of the Clemson vs. Caro lina game will have been known in every angle of this triangular commonwealth. At this time the largeness of the occasion looms up before us and we stand spellbound by the uncertainty of it all. The intense enthusiasm manifested by bo0th institutions in this athletic contest can only b)e app)reciated by those who have seen the game and have gotten a taste of the spirit that prevails. We all have said we have con fidence in our team and we be lieve our team will win. Cer tainly, it would be an adulterated ICarolina spirit in us if we did not have confidence in the foot ball varsity. .But confidence alone will not g.ive Conan the LJE BIG buildin's . 5 best college. the buildin's w U ' sort o' grow.

Those friends of ours who are dearest to us are the ones who constantly encourage us when life seems hard and un pleaSant. This we know is an expression of their confidence. The most effective way we can show our confidence in the team is by whole-hearted, true-hearted cheering. Carolina has long ago established a reputation for sup porting the team on this most important occasion, always show ing that the student body was there and why it was there. It whould be disgraceful should we fail to uphold this reputation which we cherish to our bosoms. It has been our observation that sometimes when the team is being pushed back time after time and when the score has roiled up again ;t us we are a[t to forget that this is the time support and encouragement are needed most. Not a man of us should be ab sent from this game. Special arrangements will be made in order to have the student body together, which is the only way to have real cheering. We have good cheer leaders and we have a good team, and now, on with the parade. The College Gridiron. SATURDAY, OCT. 24. U. of S. C. vs. Newberry, at Columbia.
