The literary societies of the campus con trol the campus pub)lications. There are ap proximately 1400 studlents enrolled at th, university. There are approximately 30( members of the literary societies. TIhe pub lications are o,f the students of the Univer sity as a wvhole. The pub)lications are supl portedl by the student activities fee wvhic1 each student pays and society members paa no more than the others.

There is muel rumor that there is unfairness somewhere Many other things may be taken int< consideration of this matter but the above i~ ,sufficient food for present thought. Thini it over. The Gamecock wvill be glad to re ceive anvy (discusinn umon this matter. Melton Field Appropriate, indeed, is the name "Melton 'Field" which has been applied to the new 'athletic grounds of the University of South 'Carolina. It was Dr. William Davis Melton, viore than anyone else, who made this field 'possible. It stands as a memorial to him; 'to that which he strived for ; for clean sports manship; for the benefit of all. Nothing could be better than to give his name to this field which represents part of his great work. Dr. Melton loved athletics and gave his whole-heated support to the activities in that line. It will be remembered that he went to the Carolina-Clemson game last year while in bad health because he had the spirit and backed "his team." Shortly after the game he became very ill ind never recovered. He seldom missed a football practice and was seen every afternoon possible, sitting in the grand stand watching his boys. He saw to it that they lacked nothing that could be secured to aid them. The players would 'join him and receive kind words of encour agement. They returned to practice with renewed spirit. Others observing the teams would take seats near him and all received heart)' greetings. He had a word for every one and everyone was his friend. What team could not win with such a man behind it ? The action taken by the student body in asking that this name be given the field is highly commendable and that the board of trustees accepted the suggestion of the stud ent shows their appreciation of the work of that well remembered man. May the stud 'ents demonstrate the proper spirit and sup 'port the team tomorrow and for all time. - u.s.c. - Carolinian Wants Material One cannot publish a magazine unless one has material to put in it. That is the present plight of the editor of the Carolinian -she is trying to get out a first-class publi cation on empty air. It cannot be done. Unless some of the carping literati (?) of the campus sling a little ink pretty soon we regret to say that they may find just cause for fault finding with the contents of the 'first issue. The Carolinian is the student's vehicle for literary expression. It gives him the oppor tunity to get before the reading public of the University and hear the u,biased criticism of his fellow students walking behind him on his way to chapel. If it makes his ears blush there is no reason to get sensitive. Take it for what it is worth; it may be just what he needs to know. If first attempts are rejected, cultivate a thick skin and try again. We are willing to b)e the goat. 'We know~ some of you can 'write. Let's have some samples. ELIZABE~TH C. HARDY, Editor-in-Chief of The Carolinian. INOTE.-Hand contributions to members of the staff or putt them in the box dlownstairs in the library. --U.S.C. Freshman Catps "Freshman get that cap" has been a slo gan ever since the first newv man arrived upon the campus. It is a custom for every freshman at the University to wvear the headgear which represents class spirit as well as Carolina spirit. It is the least tha.t a 'freshman can (10. An investigation showvs that only about 150 caps have been sold b)y Mr. Scott, wvho is -sole dealer, and he has a large number still on hand. These caps must be sold anid the freshmen must buy them. Heretofore, it has been said that t'he caps should be b)ought. Now it is said that they must b)e bought. Every new man has b)een given an opportu nlity' but now he will l)e given more than a mere opportunity. Freshman, this is the last warning! If you haven't the garnet andl black headgear, get .it. Have it tomorrow andl wear it to the game. Be a man and triue son of Caro lina. Hav tha a r . About Athletic Tickets Much misunderstanding has arisen over the use of athletic tickets and the student sections this year. Mere rumor has been the chief cause of all trouble and simple seeking of information from the proper quarters in stead of- accepting someone else's word for something which is utterly preposterous, would eliminate much of this misunderstand ing. An article elsewhere in these pages explains several things which were in doubt before. Mr. Driver requests that any student who does not properly understand anything in regard to athletics at Carolina, see him and find from him the true facts before tak ing up some wild rumor. Mr. Driver is one of the busiest men on the campus and has a great deal to confuse him but he is trying to straighten things out to the best of his abil ity. The new athletic field has necessitated many changes this year and things are there fore not running as smoothly as they might. But in a short time it is hoped that all kinks will be removed and then friction eased. Regardless of other things, the use of a little common sense will save much trouble and confusion.
