Every man that plays for his school is glad to know every man who sits in the bleachers. They are the other half. Atlantic City speaking, there seems to be a prize crop of pullets in this roost. -- U.S.C. -- An A pology By an error on our part the College Night edit h.n of the Ganiecock did not carry the advertise hent of the U-Drive-It automobile service. They' Jaad arranged an attractive eight-inch advertise mnent for the year. But in the extrordinary push of getting out a ten page edition at the beginning of the session the "copy" was misplaced and over looked. Our business mananger saw the mananger of the U-Drive-It the followng day. He was most con siderate of the matter which has been satisfactorily *settled. The U-Drive-It is typical of the adver Vusers in The Gamecock. 'Deal with them and you are certain of courteous treatment and satisfact-. Ion. They back your pitblications-.--they appreciate The Soul of the University "We want to exploit the soul of the Univetsity', said Coach Bocock in his talk college night. And in a manner calculated to pep up a wooden Iudian, our athletic leader told us what he meant. To a crowd that packed the Chapel he explained what he expected of his men on the field and of his student body on the campus and in the bleachers. . The sooner every student at Carolina comes to realize that the team is the machine, the coach the engineer and school spirit the electricity, the soon er we will give our team whole-hearted support. Espirit de Corps is not something indefinable. It is the feeling on the part of every man and woman that their duty is plainly before their eyess: that their souls are filed with group consciousness. The body of the University has grown by leaps ind bounds but by necessity its football team, for e.xample, is limited to the picked. It is limited because we must have the best. But the ranks of the backers of that team can and should extend to every man adid woman who has ever trod Caro lina's soil. Feel your importance. Know that th.! team fights for the school---for you. Remember that your fight is on every minute. Your talk reveals your interest, your trust. Your cheers mark your support. They should be the the cheers mark your support. They should be the. expression of your souls. The pent up enthusiasm should swell your veins and make you Gamecocks. - U.s.c. - Not a Pipe Dream This student activities building is no dream. Coach Stoney has said that county clubs should play a foremost part of the University life both in pchool and at home. We agree with him most thoroughly. And believe that he will agree with The Gamecock when we add that the surest way of putting life into county organization and keep them alive is to give them a place to hold theii meetings every week or two. They can hold their annual supper; have a place for outsiders to talk to them and function as a club. And it is not all pipe-talk. Not a bit of it; the next year or so will see it a fact if---if. If you talk about it. If you discuss the advantage with your friends. If you believe in it. Do you? demand for it is not the obsession of just a few students. We need it and we are going to get it Your duty is to keep up the talk about it and watch the fur fly. It's a reality because student's opinion was sen sitized and directed towards the need. Even grea ter is the need for a place.where we have plenty of space to gather together in fellowship. A place where the organizations on the campus can com fortably imeet. Social clubs can obtain attractive quarters that will outshine the allurements of Main street. - 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 The Mess Hall Line Editor-in-Chief, The Gamecock: In response to your invitation last week to air our oopinions in THE FORUM, I ask this op portunity to call attention to ant uncomfortable condition existing at the mess hall. This letter is not directed at the food but at the difficulty with which it is obtained. From inquiring I have learned that over three hundred men are fed at the steward's hall every day. With most of them demanding their meals a bout the same time it is natural that things are crowded up a bit. But it is rather uncomfortable to have to miss breakfast in order to meet an eight-thirty class. A.nd two tardies count as one absence. A few who have classes and labratory work at two o'clock have had difficulty in fitting in the mid-day feedbag. But with the lines as long as they are in front of the door leisurely eating can't make a go of it. This isn't a complaint from a chronic or indif ferent kicker. I realize that the demands this year are unusually heavy and we appreciate the efforts of those in charge to serve us. An additional wat er cooler was a sensible move. At the same time can't the service behind the counter be speeded uo so that the line will be moved faster. Or why not gpen the doors fifteen minutes earlier and distri bute things a little more easily. Those of us who do not have classes at twelve' o'clock can be dis posed of before the rush grows too heavy. We wont object to coming in earlier if we can eat and meet classes in the morning. This is written with the hopes that those in charge will read it in the same spirit that it is. written: cooperative. A defect exposed is a need for remedie. With thanks for this opportunity for expression, I am. Yours sincerely, In the Bleachers ToMOrtow Carolina expects every man to do his duty(and this includes the co-eds) at the game tomorrow. Be on hand with the pep when the first whistle is blown and cheer till the last blast. Your seats in the "Carolina Cheering Section" singles you out as a Gamecock. Watch the boys in white leading the yells and scare the opposition with your war cries. Get the Carolina spirit. Then hear those Gamecocks crow. - U.S.C. - THE WEEKLY ORACLE He Who Laughs Up His Sleeve Probably Wears Balloon Trousers (By I. M. P.)
