WELCOME TO LEGISLATORS
As we go to press we find
it possible to include in this
weeks circulation a copy for
each member of our Honor
able General Assembly who
is the guest of the Univer
sity at Dinner today. We
welcome you to our campus
and hope you will see our
University as it actually is
in everyday life. Our wel
fare and existence are in
your hands. May this small
phase of our campus life
help you to understand and
appreciate our great love
for the institution.
Just about a week more of
grace.
We consider Paderewski a
man of great note.
We would suggest that the
basket-ball management secure
an extra supply of uniforms for
future occasions. "Slim" Mar
tin came very near giving us too
much of an exhibition on last
Wednesday night.
STUDENT ACTIVITIES
With this week's issue the newv
staff takes charge of THlE GAME
COCK. We feel uIneqlual to the
task bult will strive to the very
best of our ability to keel) the
paper upI to the high standard set
by our' predecessors. This we
cannot do wvithout cooperation
and we take this opportunity of
appealing to the student body as
a unite andl as indlividluals for
is not ours, it belongs to the stu
dent body, we are only its repre
sentatives. Make 'yourself in-!
formally one of the staff, Jdok
out for news, and bring, .it in,
whether a two line personal or
a front page story. Don't blame
us until you have done your part
to make the paper a success.
While we are appealing for
help and cooperation for THE
GAMECOCK let us also say a word.
for other campus activities. Mr.
Reader, have yor done your part
towards making the undertak
ings of the student body a suc
cess? If you take no active part
do you back those who have?
It is mighty easy to sit back and
pick the other fellow's attempts
to pieces, but it is a different
proposition to get busy and do
something yourself. As -a Uni
versity we are judged from the
outside by these activities. Do
not sit by and listen or adhere to
the criticism, but do your part
towards remedying the defects.

EXISTING CONDITIONS s
Governor Manning in his inaug
ural address made an appeal to
the General Assembly for ipi
provement in our school system.
Statistics show how much we
need improvement as compared
with our sister commonwealths
in the Union. The University
of South Carolina needs improve
ment more than some of the
other units. Comparison may be
odious but we cannot help draw
ing the contrast between the
great state universities of other
states and ours. We know our
State is not wealthy nor are many
boys who enter the University
but why should they be taken
out of homes where comfort
abounds and be denied even the
necessities of life? Our honor
able Brard of Trustees has plac
ed our budget for the coming
year before the Committee on
Education. No one who is famil
iar with conditions can claim
their re(uests exorbitant. Our
buildings are in such a condition
that we cannot even go to bed
knowing that the plastering over
head will remain "staid put.''
Many have had their night's
rest so broken and their lives
endangered.
Oftimes we are compelled to
study w\rapped in overcoats
either because we have not the
time to spare from our work to
haul coal up to the third story or
because a small tire place is not
sufficient to heat a large room.
In our gymnasium we are con
fronted wvith similiar conditions.
We have a compulsory physical
training course and absoluiitely no
equip)m nt to take it with. In
taking our baths we are constant
ly filling our feet with splinters.
Let's wake up and make known
conditions to the honorable mem
hers of our General Assembly
andl( hun them rmedied.
