GAMECOCK FEATHERS The pledge of "I am going to study harder this year" has been made and broken a hundred times already. A helping hand is no good without me one behind it. A rule in rhetoric: A "Dot" is of ten followed by a "dash." Yesterday. today, and tomorrow moulds o(nes destiny. Some people with a general know ledge of physics think they are able to demolish a ten ton locomotive with a two thousand pound automobile. going at the rate of forty miles per hour. No physics formula in the world can prove this. Yet it is tried. Thomas F.dison says his success is (ile to ten per cent isiration and ninety per cent perspiration. Some people ie ver sweat. Columbia has its Hollywood but where are the "stars." "Straight ahead" is a good motto if there are no curves ahead. This old saying is still true. "You can't do the right thing the wrong way." The trouble with the reformer is that he usually starts without any form. -- U.s.C. The Carolinian 28 Years Ago To I lov e youi, dlearest ;that is all I ever seemi to knowv or care I love you, anid in loves sweet thrall I long to have you always near. I love you, dIarling; this one truth Is all that my poo mindl can hold I love you and 'tis only youth. TIhat keeps my love from beinig told.* -U.s.C. OWL LAFFS J. C. I4onig, of Charleston, is a powver ill tile line. The teams that Carolina meets had b)etter not try to run over him. U.S.C. Life is too short to stop and argue with men who can lick yon. -U.S.C. Some people are never suspected of beinig insane nor of having insanity in their families until they have commit ted a murder. -U.S.C. It is remarkable howv little interest the average congressman takes in agri cultural matters except just prior to election day. U. S.C. A Detroit mali shot his wife because shle did not have dinner ready when he got horne. And he was probabiy half sho+ himself. --U.S.C. About 5,000 matches are lighted every second in the United States, of which about 4,999 are borrowed. Iet these "human flies alone and they finally swat themselves. WORTH KEEPING Carolina students who wont to Athens last week-ei-d are all "singing praises" to the University of Georgia. "They certainly treated us with that true, old time Southern hospitality." one boy says. "They scoured the town hunting paces for us to stay." comment ano tler. "The incident which impressed me was whmn our team came running on the fiCeld aiAd we stood and began singing our Alma Mater the Georgia students stoo!l uncovered and one could have heard a "pin drop in their section," a third boy adds, if Southern hospitality and customs are not practiced on the college cam puses of the South, where will they be practiced ? They will soon be no more. Southern colleges have characteristic customs. Certainly we are not asham ed of them. Carolina has its own. A freshman does not know of them before he comes to Carolina; he is not suppos ed to. It is up to the old boys to teach them to him. E.ither the freshman of tile last few years have not ben very apt or tile older boys have made poor teachers through a flaw in their peda gogy. The matter should be remedied. To speak to the boys you meet and to tip your hat to the professors should be requisites at Carolina. They are our customs, our heritages. If we lose our customs we lose in a great degree tile spirit which traditioa has formed for anl which is tile heart of Carolina. We will not become greater by dis carding the good things which we have NO SMOKERS A few days ago there appeared an article in the Columbia Record from Furmian University stating that Pesi dent McGlothin wished to cut out the use of cigarettes at Furman. There is no doubt that several fires have originated from a careless ciga rette smoker or some other k'ind of smo ker but we are at a lost to see what kind of a restriction can be placed upon sucli a large student body as Furmiian'.i has, prohibiting the use of' tobacco. ki)ling said that "a womall is a wo man, bm a good cigar was a smoke" Alld those who smoke are goiig to smoke regardless of what restrictions may be eni forced. It would seem that the best ,1olutiiin to tile rioblen would be en cou'lraginig tile smoker if h~e is to conl tinlue smioking, thlat he mlust b)e care fmul wVithl his fire, If Fuma is able to stop)j the ciga rette fieds which hlappenled to slip into thle student body then thley hlad better openI upl (ppositionl to tIle famuous Keely Inlstitute whose main business is the b)reaking of the friends fromn thle so called hlabit of smlokin1g.

CLARIOSOPHIC Literary exercises were dispensed with by the Clar'osophic literary society rues (lay even-eig in honor of C. C. Owen who was regular member. Mr. J. A. Henry gave a very touch ing talk about Owens.. He expressed the grief and sorrow that was manifest ed by the students in their many silent actiotis. Mr. Robert's a Columbia boy, and a close friend of Owens gave as outlitc of the dead boys life, in which he trac ed his career from the time he.entered high school until the time of his death. After these two talks, the members of the society stood with bowed heads in honor of the one who has gone, as Mr. Henry said, "Oh a journey that no onse ever returns from." Fourteen members were initiated in to the society, after which it was agreed upon to hold a reception two weeks hence in honor of the retiring admins tration. U.S.C.
