OUR REAL VICTORY The fine record imade by Carolina's football team this year cainiot he other than gratifying to her suppiorters. It is a pleasant thing to be able to point with pride to the athletic reco,rd of one's Alma Mater. However, those who are more than mere superticial observers will have no ticed a (Ievelopment of the present grid irnt season which means mowre to Car lina than any number of victories to her credit. That is the increasing spirit of spvortsmaishil) at this institution. What ever else may he said of oI r student body we have treated visiting teams with the generous and siortsmailike attitu(le they deserved. It is a sad cmmentary unii modern American sport that oftentimes, in our eagerness to will, we throw away uir true sense of values. We forget that winning a game is really a very small matter compared wi;li tile necessity of keeping sptless Mr character fo,r hin esty aid fair play. The habit of gambling (iln games and professio1naii.,smn in athletes are perhaps largely respi,isible for this loss of per spective. \1 a we may ask., after all. dIes it pay. I f our team can knock out a dan.,ger-ls pnient aid( wi a game by the use of shigging or totlier unfair Imealls, what ik (ile v()ctorv beside the effect Iiu o the morale of the winiing team ani pin the student body that will 'countenance their acvieis. 'i'he we may say that, almlost withomu1t excep effect is always demoralizing. I tiiiiik ti()n, the greatest teams of the cotmntry are the harlest lighting and the cleanlest Ilaying.

What is the siganificance of all this, o r is there \\c hiope that this aimovemtant is deep seatedl and( not amerely a passing 11n(1od. Perhaps it is givtn to Caroina to lead lhe way in regainling thle proper conlcep tioni of tile true worth oif things. Per halls we( are learniang to value fair play amocre than a big score, honesty more than a state title. Another thing. It is easy for a stu dlent body to be V'eneromus wvhen they are winning. 'Will we manifest the same attitude wheni we lose? If soi. Carolina has won her. real victory. -U.S.C. AT HOME ON THE CAMPUS Trhe informalities abotut Caroina must he welcomew ind(eedl to no small nutmber of those who have adloptedi the irorty acres hereabotut :as their temporary resid ing place. Thie attractions common to city life are on hand. In fact, the acces sibiility of these features is desirable generally, and is one oIf the selling points of this instittvion; but we are ianterestedl for the moment, in those touches which make the camptus suggestive of those camnestral scene so ommon to th .cenes familiar to the senses oi the ma jority of the youth here. Nothing. not even the buildings, are -mo11re delightfully noticeable than the trees and grass and paths of the campus. They impart a freshness aid primeval tint which most mortals hanker for, re gardless of the fact that they live in the CeIozoic periol. when the tendeicy to revert to the woods might be thought to be a lost art, particularly among city I wellers. \hat student does not feel a little c:oser kin to his teacher wheni he sees him, having dofTed his coat, busily wield a hoe or garden plow. Of course, though Ie he not "the man with the hoe" and though the "eiptiness of the ages he not in his face" the bond between mati ;md man is more surely forged. Not the least reminder of the siiiple life is the Ilain old rooster, especially in that cimmerian part of the night when both hands of the clock stand at the ze nith and some age-old instinct noves him to inswer the exuberation of his fellow, and vice versa, till one unbroken chain of crowing birds reaches around the city. U.s.c. STUDENT GOVERNMENT There was, no doubt some inisunder ;tadl(ling abot4t the aims of the Student (mvernment that was discussed in classes iast TluesdaY night. The idea of using this subject for discussion was to give the Studel-ts an opportunity to think abot it and thrash out the bad points before it was brought up in the Student I"dY 11 meeting. This is a big Problem ald one that cannot be handled care lessly. Tile object that was sought by having this subject discussed in the ,-lasses worked out beautifully in as nticl as it caused the boys to think. Now the Plans have not been drawn l) up by the Committee Yet, therefore no defilite ideas have Ib eel made. The committee has al ready had four meetings. The object is to take it step by step and when drawn ny there will be something worth having. I. is a great thing if the students want it' but will not work if they are not be hind it. -\len.

The Photographer wi be here Nov embe . lorb Mpurkrunfielb' Kvitter to Ii0 'OU My dear sol Last week I attempted to impress you with the importance of being a gentle man under all circutmstances. However, I am rather afraid that I did not make myself entirely clear as just what I meant. Of course the fact of your being my son makes you a gentleman, and this together with your Packard and ready spenlding money will be suflicient to give you great prestige in society. But you must fulfill the responsibilities of your station. The essonce of being a gentle man is exclusiveness. Never humiliate me by drinking with one of the common herd. Don't imagine that it is necessary to associate with them. Their plebean nature is grtite readily detected by their cursed geniality and assinine interest in everything. I f a man speaks to every body that is sufficient to branid him in your eyes. When you find it quite un .tvailable to communicate with one of tlhe,* by all meatis appear very preoc culied aid if you must look at him (o in the same manner that one looks at a tree or a very ordinary horse. At any rate, exhibit the haste, characteristic of all unpleasant necessities. Please forget the foolish idea of ex erting yourself. That is only intended for meials. In class you may be polite ly loud. but don't disgrace yourself by attempting to remember anything said. No hody tt fools ever take pleasure in thinking awl reading. As to preparing a lesson. I have confidence enough in your sense of the fitness of things to leave that to your discretion. Your mai object is to lounge arotmid dom at the young men's clothing store and exhibit yourself, spend freely but o course be politic as to whom you spend for. Of course you are to make yot r self proficient in polier, pool and dancing these are aMo1ng the few things that you may seriously cultivate, bi be careful and never show any enthusiasm about anything or anybody. Leave vulgar traits for th.le vulgar. I refer particu 1arly to such bunkum as democracy, con siderationl for people of no consequence, imdiseriminate politmess, andl regard for law and convention. Always he susl)icious of those who prate childishly of your duty to God, the virtue of woman, college spirit, le cencY, honesty, morality and sr.th none sense. You are enltirely superior to this idiotic voice of the herd. Of course, it is alright for them, but not real in lividials like you and me. What ? Do they (are tlry to dictate and advise you, . \llenlcenfield? Tommy rot! I pay for your edlucation and don't propose to have y1u bullied by any problem moron. V ou have always had what you wanted and this isn't the time to thwart your desires. Blt, wliatever vou (Io, remem ber that yot. are a lenckenfield and gen tfleian. Affectionately. Father. -U, S.c.
