This old rule, passed years ago to lleet. certain colidi tionls thenl existallt ill the state, has been a regulation buIt has not in the last several years been en forced. It never occurred to the llindis of the students that it would ever he Ievived but the cogitations that perplex the student mind have lit tle effect onit actualities. We were 11a111zed when this ghost made its reappearance. Did yoi know that out of the 600 students in this college only 25 are not church nem hers ? Is it necessary to com pel church members to attend church ? We want to do the right thing, but we (o not like the idea of compulsion. We resent coercion. We feel that the faculty or the Hoard of Trus tees, or whoever is responsible for the recent ruling has over looked a fundamental fact in human psychology in making churcl attenlanice comulsor It vill.have a miost detrimental effect oil church attendance by Carolina students. Coercion always ( estroys cooperation! In the spring time there is always t rouble of one nature or alnother oIlu cam'ipils. There have never been great rebellions anld revolts that have hurt, the college inl t he eyes of the peo pie, but back of thiem all can be seenl the wNorking of the South Carolia min(l. Of courlse nto rebellion is contemplated, for the day for such tlingq let us hope has pa."e(d, instead, we would appeal to reasonl and to an explanation of the rights tM.at we believe are ours wleth er we live att home or in the university our. state has fouild ed for her sons. If you have aniv conivictions mn Ihis slbject speak up, if you believe in your righ ts, protect them, if you in tenl to be a. citizen who thinks for himself now is good time for y(it to get some praetice! Giving the Co-eds Their Rights There appears to be at some colleges a fad for making a great furor over coeducation, someti,ime it goes so fri as to -edo iln a regularit old time cat and dlog affair that makes all parties concer'nedl feel bad. Out at the University of Texais there is being waged a grand( little fracas because the "co-eds accuse the eds of h)eing im moral" andl the eds contrary to the way mten have heeni trained, are making sotme r'emiarks in thliis li tt tle free for all. The thing that plealses us is that we get~ along so well with our ('o-eds. The question re solves itself ther'efore into two or' more phauises-ar'e the uni ver'sity boys, or the girls, or' the old ('ollege, thle cause of this mluchl to lie dlesir'ed hiarniony ? We believe that it is to the ('red(it of all. Of cour'se thiere are1 somne -sore hlead(s in the hiinn'h_, hnmt thoro' mnut always )e this element present to keep leaveIN aWay from earth. Last week we had an editor al oil the proposed amnend Iments to the constitutions of the Gamecock and Carolinian in the course of whicu we made various an(1 sundry mistakes. rTe main one was that under Ihe pre sent constitutions co-eds L,an vote and hold otlice onl the staffs of the publications. The right of the Hypatian Society to be associated in this work with equal rights with the Plariosophic and Euphradian 4ocieties we hold to be a given ract. So the conmnittee on milending the con'stitution lia. worked out I plan whereby the (o-eds will vote in elections, will he represented on the GI.amecock staff by an Associ ite editor, and the Editorship) cf the Carolinian will alternate between the three societies. These proposed changes will ble brought ,up at anl early date for a. final vote by the joint as senbly of tile societies. We have seen the good work of thu girls along literary lines and it is to our regret that we havc not taken this step before and givei them fuller rights inl the aictivities they are interested in. Noise at Chapel Hour Editor of tile ('amecock: We hate to find fault with )Iurselves herca1use other peoph find so much fault wN-ith us, biul this is a niltter that should bu called to the atteltiOn of the 4tudents. Prequently we have visitors at chapel hour who come to make short talks or to ask our Aid in some task thy are un uiertaking. We all enjoy hav ing these visitors an(d wN,ant to see them come again, but be Cause there are sone students who insist on talking during these addresses, there are a num1111ber, of uis wiho callilot hear wN.hat is said. This fault is most noticeable among the co eds. They are living up to that old saying that "A woman'i tongue is never still, but is con tinually wagging." It would1 he all right for t hose who hlav( somiethuing to say to their neiglhbor to whiisp)er it, b)ut in steadl of whIisp)erinlg there are smlne who talk out ini loud. nhmumurs.

We' ask yon studleilts whO in Hist uipon tillk ing to (conside'i first, tihe effect t hat your care lessuiess is hainiug onl Carolinia, upon01 thle spea~ker, andi lastly~ upon the othier stuidenits wiht wouild like thme privilege of hearing what a speaker has te say on1ce iln a whiile. "3hnanel Atendle." Why Don't the Columbia Papers Give Carolina Better Support? Editor of the Gamecock: It has been my privilege to play both against. and for Car olina anld for this reason I have studie( the University from two viewpoints. lowever, this is not to do particularly with the University-it has more to do with the Columbia publica tions. Now I do not take Green ville as a model-I couldn't but I can use it as an example. In my whole athletic career in South Carolina , no other town has backed its athletic teams as has the Mountain City. Win or lose the (ireenville papers are always for Furian. Hardly a day passes but that the News has a column, two columns, or at least a half col unin about some phase of sports at Furman. The teams are boosted--rated high- and as a result the men on the res pective teams put up a harder fight to live ip to the standard set, and the expectations of the people al large in Greenville. It has been a large factor con tributing to the success of Fur man University on the athletic field. Now the papers of Columbia have been behind the Univers ity after a fashion. They tell the public when the Gamecock is to play, but at thint there is niore of a tendency to dwell uponl the discrepancies of the various teamis than to boosting them on to harder efforts. Only lately, after a defeat at the hands of Furman, the Colum1 bia. papers state( that the Gamecocks played a poor game. Go to Greenville and ask the spectators-ask the men on the Furman team-they know. Now if the home papers had boosted just, a tiny bit instead of stating that the team played a poor game, it would surely have been an incentive to hard er effort. Indeed, can there be among the men who tried to win anything but the feeling that there is no credit in mak ing a hard effort and failing? This is just ain expression of one wh'lo is very munch interest ed ini the success of (Carolina. The Greenville papers rate Furman in second1 place in bas ketball. This claim goes over the state when in fact Carolina ranks F'urmian out of second p)lace. Yet the Columbia paper's have eveni asserited such a claim. Comie on C olumbia-boost the University a bit; insteadl of rating themi down rate them up. A man dloes better work if you p)raise himn-a team is just a few more men acting as a whole. They'll (10 better under such a stimulus. And if we are even to take our proper' p)lace in the college sports in the Souith then there has got to be some real b)oOStinlg. In fact there iiuist lhe some boos5t ing. If the Columbia papmrs will set the standard-and set it high-the Carolina Imnl will put out the effort to reach the mark. C.,ome on Columbia papers.

Oh, awful is my fate And a woeful story is this That I'm going to relate Of a heartless little Miss. I thought I'd never specialize Or fall for any girl But one look into her eyes And my poor head was in a whirl. I knew I was awful crazy But I just couldn't refrain From loving, loving, Daisey That was the maiden's name. My heart was gone to flinders Love's flame was burning high But she sent the flame to ein ders And bade me goodbye. Alas, I'm broken hearted And almost driven mad For joy with her departed And never more can I be glad. Editor's Note: Ain't that too RSHOULD WOMEN SMOtKB,? One of the social signs of the times is the spread of the smok ing habit among womien. It may be, possibly only a fad, like bobbed hair, but Lady Nic otilne, once adiiitted to the af fect, ions, has a way of holding Onl to those she has vaiped. It is lIarl to get ri( of her, to keep her away. Womien lhave sioked before todlay, so far as we know, the hab)it has never bieeni so wide. spreadl with thle sex nor includl ed so) many young girls anid young women. Ini Russia, we believe, the custom has long prevailed, andl in England in recent years it has become com mon01 in society. But the tobac co habit has never flourlshedl so openly anid so unashamed amiong so-(called respectable r'epresen tativyes of the suppos edlhy more refined sex in the United States as it dloes today. -Baltimore Sun.
