Oeo h LEST WE FORGET. It 'is heedless to enter' into a review of the great. and success ful record that; the Ionor Sys tem -has- enjoyed since its inau guration at Carolina. All of us know that it-has-been a determ ining faetor in our very exist ence. At- no institution do we believe --the- principle has been more satisfsctpry; than:, it hap pn our own 'campus. N greater S;dende need .e prodi,64d than the fact that.the purpose which td 9. itj -dppiquo hcs. .been amply.; uf Jfrld, ap4 : iii. such a way as to warrant-.the commen di on:.of scores of sother institu tions which have-the same under cowaideratiQn. .-s..

With4he grow ig,. septinee,.it, among clleges to place. students on their scared wVordl of honor with regard to their conducet oni the campus urally seek the advi'e ind c aul gestions-'of '-arthorities of other colleges -where the 'success of the system is most- pronounced'. We believe we may state ' without fdar-of contradiction that no uni versity has 'had more success ,in regultting -class room work by the Honor System than has 'the University of South Carolina. Let us not forget, however, that there are other - activities about the campus that demand the same scrupulous regard as does our class room work. When a man deliberately removes pho nograph records and magazines from Flinn Hall he does so at the expense of his fellow stu dents. These things are paid for in 'common and should be en joyed by all together, but when such privileges are assumed by a- few -the' unfairness is mani fest. When students wantonly break up University property they do so without regard to those who make these things pos sible for us. Surely the high type of men who observe our regula tions so zealously in activities guarded by the Honor System will not carelessly disregard reg ulations of almost equal import ance. It is' an understood 'law at C0arolina that every man' is a gentleman until'he proves him selfi to be' otheivwise. It is the duty of each student to: so con duct himself always that this spirlit' may -be perpetuated in o6ur student body., BATES' MEDAL. Special attention has been called in a former issue of The Gamecock to the'fact that a very valuable -medal is being 'offered this year'by Dr. W. T. C. Bates for the best essay or news at ticle submitted to' any of the publications. 'This medal 'Is valued' a t forty'- dollars and will be-one tha' should give the Win ner a great deal of satisfaction to 'own.' We hope that' stuents ill invoil themselves of this two-fold opportunity to adcomplish themn: selves in. newspaper and , naga zine work, and to realize some thing as a reward for their ef, forts. There are many. who will try for this medal, and in fur therance of our former appeal to students to write more for the publications, we wish to again extend an invitation to all to use the -coihrhns of The ' Gamdecock moFe freely.

Write your ideas clear ly and thoughtfully and submit them to The Gamecock or The Carolinian, with a view of giv ing others the benefit of your suggestions, and at the same time place yourself in line to win the Bates Medal. DEBATING TEAM SUPPORT Many students have the idea that student-body support is necessary for athletic games only. Activities of similar im portance do not seem to warrant a very high degree of coopera tion on the part of students. Such an idea is a mistaken one and should be corrected if the proper appreciation is to be had of some of the most important phases of college activities. There are several branches connected 'with he functioning of a university that mean quite as much to that institution as do winning athletic teams. No one 'activity can.make a well de veloped andl efficient college, but rather, a comb)ination of organ izations, with the spirit of the institution behind them, can play the leading role is the making of that institut ion's reputation. It seems to us tha.t there is no activity that can bring more renown to any college than win ning debating teams. The art of debating assumes a diff'erent significance than does athletics. Mental capacities alone enable.a debating team to win decisions over bther teams, irrespective of the size characterizing the- two institutions. -With a .proper spirit of cooperation there -are really many advantages offered by small colleges in debatng. Within a few weeks ,Caiolinii Will be called' dpon to medt de bating tearla that \vill neeeseI tate our aupport solidly if we are to be succees,ul. It is well with in our ability to win our sched ule this year, and in so doing we shall accomplish a feat that will be of incalculable value to our univereity, Eyery man who -is interested in- debating owes it to himself and to his college to do his best to,rake one of these teams.

WW9 arp p.ublishing. -in . this week's issue a .very clear appcal to students of .the University for the systematic organization of activities that tvill result 'iii a greater Carolina spirit. If is very evident that if we are to begin putting out winning ath, letic teams this "tangible" thing callei "collegerspirit" will play a very important part in what we are able to do. We are gratified to see thatj students are beginning to real ize that in order to accomplish anything a proper spirit of en thusiasm must be shown. "Ob $erver's" article is a timely one indeed and should excite the, in Lerest of others who have been thinking as he does. Beginning this fall "A Clean Sweep" must be executed, but we shall have to work and work hard for it. Now is the time to start things to rolling if We are to accomplish our aims. Coach Metzger's appeal for students to aid him in securin~g good football material for next, fall was well received. But shall we let the mAtter drop with the suggestion? Do a$ you are asked, and when you go home this sum mer get in behind that high school boy who is ready for col lege this fall and see that he comes. to the University. We need him and he needs' Carolina. On ward for a greater Carolina. NOTICE.
