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.

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

Literary exercises were dispensed with
by the Clar'osophic literary society rues

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.

Fourteen members were initiated in

upon to hold a reception two weeks
