We do not hear anything from the she in Holsheviki. Many a man's 'entering wedge" proves to be only a glut. The congress of the United States is the greatest expenditi onary force in the world. IR osevelt is married. He recently wrote a book entitled "The Foes of Our Household." If the title of a book is an indication of its contents we wonder what this one is about: "A Student in Arms." Though a fortune may not be found at the end of the Rainbow )ivision, there will at least be good fortune for the rest of hu man i ty. "This is true, Says Mr. Comach.

Lend Your Support The Carolinian, w h i c h will make its first appearance Decem ber 10, outside of the alumni, is Carolina's b e s t representative and deserves the support of every student. With its long record of interesting service it is no mean honor to have one's contribution published in The Carolinian. While the senior and graduate classes are smaller than usual, indicating the possibility of a lower literary standard, there is no reason that there should not be found in a student body of 350 sufficient meritorious material to swamp this worthy journal. The editor of The Carolinian invites all students to submit material for "copy." No Pledge, But The editor who assumes direc tion of The Gamecock with this issue is handicapped for news this week because of the fact that the paper was issued Friday after the Thanksgiving game when it should have been published on Tuesday. The p r e s e n t staff makes no pledges but the deter mination is to get it out on time hereafter. Taking Holidays The victory over Citadel here Thanksgiving day was as gratifying to The Gamecock as to any member of the student body but it is impossible to see the object of the celebration in its honor. Taking a holiday even had it been participated in by all the students is not a profitable proceeding, resulting in no good to the individual, the university or the reputation of either and leaving as a possible barrier to a "dip" a day of absences. Some may say it was a demonstration that college spirit is not so dead as some would have us believe, but suppose our team had won all its games. Had we taken a holiday for each victory there would have been a superfluity of spirit. College spirit is great if properly directed and may it never (lie out, but The Gamecock would suggest that if the faculty can't be pulled across it is likely to cause trouble. An Explanation The Gamecock frequently pub lishes news that is not news in the true sense of the term. The editors are aware of this but do it solely as a matter of record. Not issuing this paper daily and competing with two enterprising Columbia papers it is obviously imp)ossible to prinut all of the news first. Persons in after years who wish to readl the dletai led history of the university will look for it first in The Gamecock. For this reason The Gamecock hopes those readers who feel in clined to criticise will refrain un til the paper h)enmes a dily. And the List Grows The list o,f alumni and former students who received commis sions i n' t h e officers training camps contains names that will reflect honor to the United States, to themselves and to their alma mater, Carolina, whenever the history of this war comes to be written. Needless to s a y the University is proud of its men in service. The Poet's Medal At the recent meeting of the State College Press Association in Rock Hill G. D. Sanders of Wofford College was awarded the poet's medal for the best poem contributed to a college magazine. Mr. Sanders is a member of the senior class and has been a fre quent contributor to the Wofford magazine in the past three years. His poetry is marked by loftiness of thought, seriousness of pur pose and alnnost mechanical per fection of meter. He is rem m bered on the University campus by a number of friends who con gratulate him.
