Hello Freshmen! Welcome to the Gamecock Roost and all the privileges and immunities of the school. You are now a part of this organization; so jump into the work and play with that Carolina spirit. Keep up the spirit and fellowship; uphold the traditions of this old school. Don't let it be said that you flunk ed out on the job. Again remember that CARO LINA IS YOUR SCHOOL and that it is just a large family. Every thing that is here is for you and your convenience. Let's learn those yells and songs and be ready for any timie that we can show to the world that true school spirit. - u.s.c. -- A Real Need With the steady increase in the student hody of thea University we are confronted with a real need for a student activities building. A large student body means that the students are less like to meet each other. There is a danger that the spirit of the school will wane. Not that snch is already the case at Carolina. But it will be in a few years if provisions is not made. Southern people have the commendable trait of making friends easily. We are no exception to the rule. Still, wve need a building in which we may house the many clubs and organizations that are growing up on the campus. They are comiing~ every year to play a more important part in stud int life and they sorely need a place of meeting. We need a place to hold suppers if we care to give ,them. We need a place where we can spend the 'time betwcen classes: some of us don't care for a trip up town as our daily fare. Give us a gathering place, club rooms, study hall, reading room and we can't grow too big for ourselves. The FORUM wants your Opinion on the need of a student activities building at Carolina. Write us what you think the project should undertake, what you have heard of at other schools. Let's Year 'Round Coaching Coaching of all athletic teams at Carolina takes on a new aspect this year. Coaches Boecock and Stoney have charge of football, basket ball, and baseball for varsity and freshman squads repect ively for the year 1925-26. The men that meet their leaders dring the next week or two will see them on the campus till the end of school. Both Boecock and Stony are capable men as proved in the latter part of the past season. The coaches will do their share. Let's inaugurate another pol icy: year 'round cheering starting now. - u.s.c. - Merited Praise Things have brightened up considerably since most of us left the campus in June. We agree with the wise who said concerning flappers, "a bit of paint makes things seem what they aint". At any rate the paint used during the summmer has made things look a lot more interesting. The work wasn't an accident. Credit is due Marshall Cantey for his energy in pushing the renovation program during the Summer School and the few weeks that were left until school opened. Congratulations Marshall: you're a live wire! - U.s.c. - Reciprocity When you shop in Columbia visit the stores that advertise in the Gamecock. Why? Because they are reliable merchants; be cause they are the men who make the Gamecock possible. Every advertiser in the Gamecock be lieves that he is investing his money wisely when he buys space in your paper. Answer him: pat ronize our advertisers. - U.s.c. - The Forum THE FORUM welcomes all signed communications (your name need not appear in THE GAMECOCK) expressing opinion on student affairs. A department established as a clearing house for ideas. Address your letters to the EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, THE GAMECOCK "Red" Jennings Writes Sarasota, Florida September 10, 1925 To the Editor-in Chief of the Gamecock, University of South Carolina, Columbia, S. C. Dear Editor: Please allow me a small space in att edition of the Gamecock for the publication of the following letter: "I take this privilege in extending to each of the new students who enter Carolina a hearty hand and a'~niost cordial greeting. Once you become a Carolina student means friendship forever because there is no such thing as enemies among the mem bers ofthe Gamecock Band. I am indeed sorry that through the process of graduation, I was shovett out as most Gamecocks are, to fight for themnsel yes, after brooding at Carolina for the required length of time. Now is the time and the Campus is the place,,, for you to greet and become acquainted with your college friends. Do not put off until tomorrow what you can do today. Get the old Carolina spirit into your heart and soul; and from now on, every breath that you breathe bile on the side lines will resound with a vibration of Pep and Enthusiasm that will never grow cold. Make yourself acquainted with Dr. Melton. His personality and ability will always be of service to you, for he is a man among men, and one whom all Carolinans respect; there is nothing small a bout him, his heart and soul are wrapped up in r. greater Carolina, so do your best, help him unfold his visions and make Carolina what it should be. Be courteous to each professor ; tip your hat and never let a "Good Morning" or a kind word be forgotten; for each professor is human and has your interest at heart ; though some of us think differently when examinations roll around. Should you desire to know who the author is, ask any of the old students, who "Red" Jennings was. Now let me consume no more of your time ; I bid you God Speed with your work and hope for each of you a happy and successful year. Yours very truly, J. W. "Red". Tenning Start Your .all Rolling This is the open season for advice. Mothers and fathers Ladle out in generous andwholesome port ions to their sons and daughters going away to school for the first time. Every pet friend adds his bit 'til Freshmen are "fed up on it". But there are certain things you don't learn at home or don't remember that they apply at school, so read on. The old gag "the way to make a friend is to be one" must have first been pulled by a college stud ent. Chances are you'll see more than a thousand strange faces on the campus, and, the best way to let them know you're here is to pass them with a "howdy". Don't think they care if you forget to tell them hello. They'll put you down as dumb or high-hat. Get in the habit of speaking to those you meet on the campus and watch that homy feeling it produces. College songs and yells have a purpose: to pro duce a spirit of friendship. If you want to be on the band-wagon you have to know the old favor ites. An oyster at a pep meeting isn't the most popular thing in. the wworld. In the bleachers at the games be one of us. All of which is not a lot ot apple sauce. It's the stuff that makes you a part of the school. You're freshmen now but you are the senior class of '29. Start your ball rolling. - U.s.c. - THE WEEKLY ORACLE Don't Count Your Chickens Before They Hatch They May Be Ducks (By I. M. P.)
