An Appeal The Editor of the Gamecock has received the following letter for publication: To the Editor of the Gamecock; A young man came to this University last year and cast his lot with us. He only remained with us something like three months, for the dread disease of tuberculosis had fastened its ghastly grip upon him. He is now a patient out at the State Tuberculosis Camp, about eight or ten miles from Columbia. But in the little while that he was a student here lie proved the metal that he was made of. Slipping out of the infirmary, unknown to the physician or the nurse, he entered into the preliminary for the Roddey debate, and won a place as one of the representa tives from the Clariosophic socie ty. Then as a sick man he won the medal in the real contest over some of the very best speak ers that Carolina had. Students and others who heard him con ceded that this young man was one of the best debaters that has appeared at Carolina in recent years. After the debate he went back to the infirmary and has not gotten better. To remain in the Tuberculosis Camp requires mon ey. He is being supported by his sister who teaches school. This sister is not only doing that but helping her aged mother also, and all from her meager salary. Now, fellow Carolinians can not we help him a little too? If each man here would only c ntribute 25 or 50 cents it would pay his expenses there for a few months at least. Are YOU willing to do this? -1 believe that you are. We honor our football player, which is a fine thing. We raised money this year to send a com mittee to interview and persuade the father of one of our players to allow his son to play. We paid the expenses of one of our coaches to Charlottesville, Va. to the Virginia-Carolina game there. That was also a rather nice thing to have done. We have also gIven money to pay for flowers and ribbons and horses and carriages for our spon sors at our. Citadel-Carolina Thanksgiving game. That too was a mighty nice thing to have (lone. Some of the students here have made financial sacrifices in order to help the war prisoners in the European war camps. That was a mighty commendable thing to have done. But a young man from our own midst needs help as much as those prisoners in Europe need help. In a sense they placed themselves where they now are. Our fellow stu (lent did not volunteer to have consumptinn. The prisoners in (CONTINL;ED) ON PAGE~ TiIlREI.) A Letter. The following signed letter has been submitted to the editor. We will acknowledge that the satire appearing in the Novem. ber issue of The Carolinian en titled "A Chapel Scene" and signed by "Flip," from a liter. ary point of view, has its merits. If, however, it was written fror purely a literary and humorous point of view, why was there no name signed to it? And if it was written from any other point of view it showed the pooresi kind of taste and a depleted sort of Carolina spirit. We wiil not attempt to answer all of the allegations, but of some it is absolutely necessary. There seems to be an insinu ation from beginning to end that the Co-eds are not given a voice in student affairs. If this is true, why? Inquiries fail to revea that they have been asked to re main away from the student body meetings. Furthermore, our fel low students of the law school absolutely deny that Co-eds are not perfectly welcomed at any of their meetings. We are glad to have in our midst this repre sentation of our South Caroline womanhood, but we deplore such an attempt to create an agitation and also believe that it is con demned by a majority of the Co. eds. The worst feature, however, we even hesitate to mention be cause of its littleness. Anyone who saw Carolina play football this year knows that there was never a cleaner te:un on any gridiron. If we had had a win ning tea) and an ou tsider had accused us of playing (iirty foot ball it would have been bad enough. But after such a season as the one we have just complet ed, to have one of our own stu dents make such an insinuation is almo,t unbelievable. If the charge had been in general we might have made allowance for "human frailties" and overlook ed it, but to point'out an individ ual, and one who served us well, is too little to need further men tion. If the Co-eds think they are not getting a "square deal" they have only to appeal to the stu dent body to get a hearing. We have student self-government, and our student body meeting can be turnedl into a tribunal of justice. We appreciate that we all have our shortcomings be cause we arec only human. Alst many of us would be glad to be told of them in order to try and make amends. There is, how ever, one request we would like to make, do it to our- faces and not under assumed names. (Signed) J.
