C., Nov. 20, 1919 The "Hickory Nuts" is not what it's cracked up to be. The joy of a freshman lies in the thoughts of the year after. Most people like Turkey for Thanksgiving but we're going to substitute Bull Dog for our meal. Don't go home Thanksgiving -stay here for the Citadel game. When one begins to talk of having so much work to do he generally finds that the other fellow has an "edge" on him. The Case of a Successful Undertaking. For the first time in the Uni versity's history, the Gamecock was edited entirely by the co-eds last week. To say it was a suc cessful accomplishment would be merely expressing in words the thoughts that every one holds who has seen the paper. Much credit and praise is due the Car olina girls who willingly ac cepted the job and carried it thru. They have shown by this action their loyalty to the school and have erased all doubts as to their interest in college activi ties. The editor wishes to express his thanks to all the co-eds who shared in issuing the paper. Why Waste Time? Sometime during the first or second week in October the stu dent body decided that fresh men should wear green caps to distinguish themselves from up per classmen. Other rulings were also made in regard to the new men, but this one partic ularly "caught the eye" of those present. A committee was ap pointed to order caps of the pre scribed description and have them here before the Clemson game. To make sure the en forcement of this law, a vigil ance committee was selected from among the huskiest men in school. Now let us ask a few questions: Have you seen the green caps? Have you heard anything about themn? Has the vigilance committee been active' in enforcing the laws of the stu dent body? What do the fresh men think of the older men who made laws and haven't got the pluck and pep and college spirit to put them into effect? The University of Georgia en forces its ruling and the spirit among the freshmen there is much greater than at Carolina. Freshmen at Washington and Lee wear blue and white caps and never fail to pass an upper classman or faculty member without the customary soluta tion. First year men at David son respect and honor their seniors. But at the University of South Carolina, men of ad vanced standing in classes stand by with folded arms and let other schools arouse pep and re spect among their new men. Then we wonder why freshmen don't attend student body meet ings-you can't expect it when only one-third of the old men at tend regularly; we can't under stand why freshmen pass with out speaking, yet some of us con sider a disgrace to speak to a "green-horn ;" we stare in aston ishment at. freshmen playing tennis when their team is on the field needing cheers for the hard battles before them. How can such things be possible at a school like the University? There's only one answer-the older men, who are leaders, lack the true Carclina spirit. We don't mean that there is no col lege pep here; we mean that there isn't enuf. When a ruling is made it should be enforced; when we start something we ought never to rest until it is finished. Freshmen will be the upper classmen in the years to come; will they make laws and fail to obey them? Our actions is the answer to that question. Something new in the line of history happened in South Car olina when Miss Elizabeth Tay lor, a student at the university, took an aeroplane trip to Au gusta, Ga. This is the first time that a South Carolina girl has ridden in the air from one city to another. The Red and Black remarks that "it would be a good idea for the red-headed Freshmen to wear black caps." The same suggestion might hold good for Carolina. Coley Seaborn met a young lady in Virginia whose name was Witt. She was accom panied by her room mate, Miss Wisdom, and her aunt, Mrs. Wise. BEGINNING. Begin today, tomorrow will not do The world wants men to put the world's work through. It wants the ready masters that can spring Out of doubt and discord, that can sing And singing build and carve and dedi. cate Themselves to tasks done early, never late. The force of freedom is in feedom's breath, Who wanted it said, give him that or death. The force of life is in the force of will To start the deed with all the dream er's thrill Begin, being, and so the purpose grows! The spring begins the summer with a rose. And with the rose a thousand wild. ing things Break through the sod; the air is filled with wings, The values are deep with dewy sweet ness: men Put on the cloak of glowing hope again. Begin today! Tomorrow's new begin. ning Adds happier chances and so onward winning Each day some new endeavor we shall start The march of dreams within the hu. man heart. The dawn of conquest over sloth and doubt, The burning joy that enters kith a shout, The leaping love, the life that is re. born To meet the amaranthine of the morn! -Baltimore Sun.

Prof Keith (in French: "Now, Mr. Stephens, what is the future of the verb to love?" Stephens: "To marry, of course. "All right on behind there?" called the conductor from the front of the car. "Hold on," cried a shrill voice. "Wait till I get my clothes on !" The passengers craned their necks expectantly. A small boy was struggling to get a basket of laundry aboard.
