Gamecock Spurs
Believe it or not, Annette Kellerman flunked in
high school because she was no good at figures.

As Me'ilock puts it, "we live to ,eat, and, as we
eat at the mess hall, we haven't much to live for."
* * *
The choiciest blending that we have seen in years
was the sign in the gym reading, "Music, Art and
Physical Education."
By unanious vote the medal of honor for the
shirt-tail parade goes to freshman Smith--and we
don't mean the skinny one either.
* * *
He had a smile on his face, a cheer on his lips,
stuck with them thru the race, with his shirt on his
hips. Thassa spirit!

Page Rupert Hughes. Bocock is looking for the
fellow who advertised "Souls for Sale."
* * *
Jimmy Baldv:*n says the traffic tower in front of
the capitol m'<es a capital perch. Punishment
should be adm,iiistrated for such puns.
* * *
As a traffic cop Jimmy's a whang: he stopped
everything on Main street.. e

When the mob came out of the Imperial theatre
Friday night, it was shy a frosh. His alibi was that
it was "the first of them things" he had seen.
* * *
,He's back. The chap that believes the school of
.Commerce offers courses in navigation.
* * *
The prettiest run of the scrimmage last Satur
day was the one where Bocock "sold out" to get
out of Jeffords way around right end.
* * *
*Which reminds us: Have you heard Swink's
new golf hose passing by.
* * *
And freshmen that varsity football player that
passed you by without speaking really isn't the
most important man on the team.
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.

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.

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.

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.
