THE SELF-SUPPORT.
ING COLLEGE MAN
Interesting Discussion of the
Working Students.
"Where there is a will there
is a way." When this quotation
comes to our mind, we at once
think of the self-supporting
student, who has from day to
day kept these words constantly
before him. Words which have
become second nature as he
struggles on toward the realiza
tion of his ideals. This quota
tion looks gloomy at first, but
when he gets into the fight, the
mist seems to roll away and the
vision becomes clearer.
The student who is making an
effort to obtain an education at
any price is the one that we
wish to commend. If the young
man who goes thru college on
flowery beds of ease, financially
speaking, gets his praise, then
ten fold should he be praised
who gets his knowledge by the
sweat of his brow. If that be
the case many deserve specia;
commendation right here in the
University of South Carolina.
At present about 25 per cent. of
the entire student body are earn
ing part or all the money neces
sary to carry them thru colbege,
We should be proud to statc
these statistics. Not becauSE
they are poor boys having tc
work for an education, but be.
cause of the fact that there are
so many in our University er..
dowed with that element called
"pluck."
There is still a far greatei
thing in store for the self-sup
porting student---the laying of E
foundation for his future lift
that cannot be excelled. He i;
brought face to face with "fathes
time." He knows the value of
money, something that not every
student can boast of.
The State also gets its propor
tionate share from this stu
dent, for he is the one thai
generally makes the best citi
zen. He is willing to work foi
his State as he worked for hi:
education. He also helps hi:
State by inspiring other young
men to get an education.
So there is no reason why a
working student should becomc
despondent because he has tc
labor for his education. HE
should look on it as a privileg
instead of a burden, and r-emem
ber, "There are no gainas with.
out pains."
"Contributed."
THEii GAMECOCK wvill act as un.
dertaker for the following cam
pus expressions:
"Get a shovel"
"You know it.''
"Funny world."
"Got me Steve?"
''We should worry."
"You knowv me. Al."
