OUR BAND One of the immediate needs of our latttlion is a band. Soon we wvill b)e e<quipped with uniforms alnd rifles and( a band will be al most imperative. It will add more pe t.o drill thani anything ekse at present. ['here are men in college wvho have had1 exper.i c'nce in fotrmer bandls, andl could easily organize the material. But as yet no on" seems to have taken the lead. We feel suire that some C)pr nl)')Iise between drill and bouid practice c'tl(d be made. By all m- a let u get together and organize a hand. COOPERATION Realizing the grave situation in which our country is placed, the faculty is cooperating in every way with the students. They have shortened the class periods by fifteen minutes to al low the students more time for study and military drill. The faculty is also giving credit for .the term's work to those stu dents who are in good standing, and are leaving for military ser vice. By the majority of the student body this spirit of co operation will be reciprocated. This mutual feeling of coopera tion on the part of the students cannot be made more plain than by a strict application to work both in the class room and mili tary drill. TO THECOLORS Every Carolina student is now. beginning to realize that ourf country is in a state of confu sion due to the outbreak of the war. All of us desire to do something for our country, but at present every student can not determine just what course to follow. Every one knows what a horrible thing war is and we have entered into it with open eyes, courage, and determined spirit. The true Carolina spirit has al ready been displayed by several of our students in going to the defense of the nation. A score or more men have responded to the call of their country and have entered actual service in the army and navy. ''he appli eants for the training camp at Fort Oglethorpe are numerous. From this it would appear that many more will leave during the week. Of course we hate to see these men leave. but when we think of the grave situation we commend each and every one for his noble stand. Every one owes to his country the highest type of service he can render, and now the time is ripe for the college man to de cide just what he is going to do during the national crisis. A bove all we must keep calm and not abandon present duties until we are shown specifically our new ones. The duty of ('very college student, if he wants to serve his country to the best, of his ability, is to remaii. in college and stick to what lie is doing until he knows what is reqluired of him. THANKS THEI GAMEcocI( desires to ex press its warm apipreciation for the criticism of The Carolinian by Prof. L. P. Chanmberlavne else where in this issue.
