We were considerably shocked by the front page picture of the Saturday Evening Post for Oc tober 2. The Art Editor must have been under the influence of "Punch." Wofford scored on, Clemson. Luck was against the Tiger he'fumbled. Metzger's fighting Gamecocks had -their first taste of defeat last Saturday at the hands of the Georgia Crackers. - But they fought to the. last minute. They never thought of being defeated until the final whistle blew. And they weren't thru playing then. The defense Carolina put up was great. The.line was skirted several times, but never broken. Considering the tonnage it was opposing, that line did some bril liant work. The Clemson Tiger has hopes of marching up Main Street af ter our annual clash again pro claimed the victor.

That graduates of high schools and preparatory schools are coming to realize this is seen in the University's opening en rollment for this session.

Fellows, there qis one Ahing that must be brought very forc ibly to the attention of every loyal CCrolina man and that is The Garnet and Blaick for this year. It is indeed with a feel ing of regret ithat we find it necessary to call the attention of the students to so important a publication. This year we are endeavoring to put out an annual under con ditions and circumstances hardly equaled in the history of the publication. For several years past, for reasons we need not attempt to explain here, The Garnet and Black has not been what we have so ardently wanted it to be. Heretofore we have riot been able to turn the pages of. this most valuable book with a feeling that we, as a student body, have put our whole heart into it. We have been greatly handicapped by arrearages and poor business management in the past, but what is decidedly worse still--an indifference on the part of our student body. The annual is now in debt from last year due to this lack of co operation on the part of students. We have our opinion of a man who will sign up to takv an an nual and who refuses it when mailed him c. o. d. a few days after school closes. By such ac tion financial embarrassment has been brought upon the manage ment and others who. have - so generously contributed to the publieation of The Garnet and Black. This year we are starting out with a great number of obpstacles to overcome. Whether the an nual will be a success will de pend altogether on the coopera tion and efforts put forth by the students of the University. Those of us who were at the student body meeting on last Saturdiy morning listened with profound interest as Editor-in-Chief Mar cus explained the situation with regard to The Garnet and Black for this year. The suggestions offered to remedy conditions were repulsive to us all, and we fully agree with the editor that we will be satisfied thi~ tyear at lolfia. Ai youa~tae to let anything r%OI of this o *w 'you~ s4id +~ a litia's annual' is co dpaed with others in this State and folmd, wanting? Now then', if we 'are agreed that we will have inly the best this year, let's get behind the thing with all we have and there by accomplish something..--We have a man of unusual ability as chief editor, with capable assis tants. Cooperate with those in charge of yur departrment in any way you can. When you are asked to 'meet on a certain date for a class picture or county pic ture BE THERE and see that others concerned are there. Pay your fees promptly for pictures inserted and help the. manage ment to accomplish more by so doing. Let's get together now and put out an annual 'that 'we will be proud of-one that will be a credit to the management, the students, and the University as a whole. JUST BETWEEN OURSELVES. By Della E. Stewart It's so easy to "slump"--to live just a little less wisely than we could live, to be a trifle less firm principled than we might be, to allow personal habits to be our masters rather than our servants. It's one thing to have high ideals; it's another to live up to them. There are so many excuses that we can offer for so doing. Self-interest, stress of circum stances in our lives, the crowd ed hours of our days--all these tend to make us lesser men and women than we might be. "We're too tired !" How often we voice this never tracing the lazy reason to its source. What makes us "tired" so constantly? The necessary struggle with life? Sometimes! But more often it is caused by conditions within our power to alter or avoid. We substitute blind obedience to custom for freedom of body and soul. We must do thus and so because others do it. We must have this or that because "the rest of~ our set do." We hold .ourselves in bondage from choice. ,Isn't it perfectly legitinf~ate to do so wvhen all that constitutes our happiness, when a different procedure would make us more discontented? Isn't happiness the aim of life, as far as we can get it and keep out of jail when doing so? That' is the common stand ard of life today--for many of us. Happiness is certainly a legitimate belonging of life. But not the only or the greatest one. And the Ironic paradox of ife with inakyof ,the hoipi ABifie 02~t er 'that, havih* donie alt ilthin theiir po'der' as they thfnk to 'obtain 1t it stil Is a hyp dut r ther thn an -nd Living up to the best with.
