We twist and squirm in our desk seats, bend our pens, fly hither and thither for news of interest; we pause to raise our heads to you and bow/akain as we, the new staff,: enter upon our work. And we hope it will not be in vain for there is news on the campus daily and it can be printed in The Gamecock. We look upon what is to be done as a duty and a pleasure and not as real work. Our work is not to be a review of the past entire ly but to inform you what is hap pening; to bring you news that is news in the fullest meaning of the word. We spend time which we hope will be for your benefit and we trust that articles of interest will be printed. It is not to go beyond the walls of Carolina but to print here the happenings upon the campus. No news is iiot goods news, but what is here is the result of an honest endeavor to present to you things you wish to know. Success in the above is the re ward hoped for. Now our heads are raised again. WA trust that you will find our endeavors as they are intended to be. TO THE CO-EDS. The hammer is buried and no longer will The Gamecock fight the co-eds. Human rights are to be advocated. We wish to the co eds peace. They have taken the jokes "manfully" but no longer shall they be disturbed. May all lines be to their pleasure, their uplift, and may they bring the young ladies of the College into closer relationship with the real work of Carolina. May the Caro lina spirit be theirs in its high est and truest meaning. The co eds are not chickens nor are they birds, yet they are Gamecocks even as you and I. HARVEST TIME. The scythe is in your hand. Gather what you have sown, and if nothing sown, plant now seeds that grow over night, for nine days henceforward the impend ing doom is upon you. Forget the wars of Europe of today but remember battles that have past; forget the girl you left behind two weeks ago. Lock yourself as it were in a monastery to study for nine days, for your ex aminations, the "necessary evil", are upon you. Necessary they are for livelihood, evil for a moment's stud y. Judgment day approaches andl the man with a "crip" dis appears. Examinations made Rockefeller rich for it was they which caused the burning of mid night oil. From TJhornwell to Green Street cottage the campus is aglow. In our eyes the pro fessors are sitting up just as late1 making out the hardest exami nations they can find.
