HIS BETTER SELF
cS When Jimmie- finished high
A school, his father sent him to
O college. The so11 had his choice
-a University, denominational
college, military school. Jim
mie preferred the university.
For three years lie was coi
tented, bubbling over vith am
bition-a far sighted youth,
with a mind of his own. Thenl
caie the compulsory church at
tendance law. Jimmilie rebelledl.
Thru a process of reasoning lie
consulted his other self.
"What is this rule?" lie
asked? Doesn't the Bible say:
'Six days shall thou labor, and
on the seventh rest?' "
"Quite true," replied the
other self. "Does that mean
you should ieglect your religi
ous duty simply because you
labor six days with your stu
dies? Did not your parents
make you go to church?"
"They did," camte the reply.
"They instilled in my heart the
value of the love of God. They
thought for me then, now I'm
supposed to think for myself."
Then, according to your way
of thinking, you believe your
self justifiable inl forgetting
your duty towvards your God?"
"I do not! I am not rebell
ing against God. I'm simply
opposed to using IHis house as
a class room, of being forced to
make this house a place of col
legiate work."
"You are narrow-minded(."
"I do not think so. I'm my
own man, suppose(d to be capa
ble of applying the faith my
parents inculcated in me, with
out being forced by solicolle
else to apply it for me."
"Do you realize you are o(d
vocating stui(lent rule?"
"You are Iistakenl. I ami
merely stan(ling up for my
rights-the pleasure of wor
shipping as I chose."
"You are a hypocrite."
"I would be if I went against
my better ju(gment by public
ly announcing church attemn
an1ce, regardless of whether I
atteml(led on my owi free will or
nlot."
"You are placing your col
lege in a bad light before the
Christian colleges."
"(lod is ily judge, not other
institution. Either man or in
st itutioni is spiritless if they do
-those things contrary to their
u way of thinking, simply for
fear of what the other fellow
s will say."
"All this is merely your own
a.piniOn."
"It is the opinion of the ages.
Had this so-called mioral been
for the betterment of 0111
Universities, just institutions
would have adopted it long ago.
It is the same p)rin1cipal against
wvhi ch our forefathers fought
and( dlied. It is a direct stab) at4
the freedomi and rights of our
st ud(ent s."
"WVhat r'emedy wtoul you
'jsuggest?"

THE LACK OF NEWS
There has been a great dirth
of iews ar-ouild the canipi this
week. Nohbody has shot any
bo<dy. No stildenlt bodly Ineel
ing has (eclarel the funda
mental rights of man have beenl
tramipled upon. No new regn
lation of the Board of Trustees
has beell passed ill regards to
the manlagemnenlt or a refrac
tory, stubborn anld danl hgerolls
student body. There has nlot
been an a111thletic g.'alle to strainl
your throats over, nothing but
raill and chtsses. This deplor
able condition must be reme
died. Let it nlot be Said of the
UliversitY of S. C. that an en
tire week has gone by without
(iScoveinkg soietling to raise
a row over! We have beenl try
ing to t hinuk of sometjiing to
start the Imlill agrinding but
have failed, if you canl fild a
new Iotion to pit before the
student body, please let ns have
it! We want act ion!
ing well, they will realize that
their action is a deal lily stab at,
the heart of this historic insti
tution-that is will be a hind
ranlce rather thanl an aid to the
morals of its stludent bdv."
