GONZALES MEMORIAL The editors of THE GAMECOCK wish to heartily commend the start made by alumni of the Uni ve.sity in an effort to place a memorial to "Bob" Ganzales on the campus. The historical at mosphere of any institution does more than anything else in mak ing it dear to the alumni of fu ture generations. We cannot afford to let the memory of our prominent alumni pass into the realms of history without erecting some token of honor to them. Robert E. Gonzales was one of our greatest alumni in recent years. By his literary acconp lishments he has reflected untold credit upon his Alma Mater. We should seize upon this oppor tunity of erecting a lasting me morial not only to show what we thought of him but also for the sake of what his name means to the University. BOOSTERS VS. KNOCKERS There is a general tendency on the campus to be continually knocking. Some have actually carried it so far that they do not stop to consider the merits or demerits of a proposition, but im mediately start consideration of a new and effectual way of "run ning down." Merits are a min or consideration if demerits, no matter how small, can be found. If our campus activities are to be a success these must be reduced to a minimum. There is nothing that kills any quicker than con tinual knocking. Why not give a fellow the credit for at leastan honest effort, and where he falls short boost him up? No college activity is supposed to be a one man affair, nor in the hands of a: few. This has been alleged, and we will acknowledge it is some times true. Don't blame this, however, on the few who do try to make things a success, but put the blame where it belongs. It I is not as easy as it might seem to run a "one man's job," the "one! man" wants help. Quit knock ing, go to boosting, and watch campus activities take a jump. EXAMINATIONS With this issue, TiE GAMECOCK suspends publication for two weeks because of examinations. We cannot claim that it will be a holiday for the staff, but to say the least, it will be a change. The old maxim, "Variety is the spice of life," comes forcibly to our minds, and the change is not entirely unwelcomed. To the professors, we plead for lenience; to those who are pre pared, we congratulate; to those who are deficient, we urge great er efforts; and to all, we wish W HEN a dog bites me once, 0 I'm through with it. Same way with a tobacco. VELVET is aged In the wood for two years to make it the smoothest smoking tobacco.
