PATE.................................Manager M. C. WILLIAMS...........................Circulation FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1926 Beat Furman! "Carolina, Beat Furman," is the cry that we hear on every side and we join in. We must "Beat Furman." For three successive years now, the "Purple Hurricane" has blown the Carolina Gamecock off its perch. Shall we let it hap pen again? For the past two years a Fur. man team has defeated a better Carolina team. It is blamed on "the Furman jinx." Yes, it is the Furman jinx. That jinx was nothing less than a hard fighting Furman team determined to win against odds. This year and tomorrow the Hurricane has the odds on its side. It will probably bring its "jinx" along. The only thing that 'ill turn the visitors from victory will be a "Carolina jinx." Come on, gang, let's get into it and "FIGHT ! FIGHT ! FIGI-IT " We must beat Furman and if we fight and are determined to win, no football team that Bill Laval can ever turn out can beat us. - U.S.C. - To the City of Columbia "We w'ant our streets paved." This cry has gone upl from the University campus for many years in vain. Now Columbia is put ting on a street p)aving canmpaign andl we tvonder if the streets that run through and b)y our campus wvill receive attention. The Gamecock thinks that is wvill be the height of folly for the "City Unlimited" to ignore us. It will be wise to pave our streets. Trhere comes to the University of South Carolina hundreds of young p)eop)le from all over the state. Columbia is the state capi tal. These students offer a great advertise ment for the capital city. Now the question is: does Columbia want the student body to tell at home of the dirty, muddy, or dusty streets and condemn it or to spread the fact that this city is a progressive municipality with fnc -paved streets. Columbia, here is your chance. The state university furnishes a large percentage of the leaders of the state. The impression gained, as students here will out last any others. In years to com e these will think of the capital city as a pleas ant place. or as a dirty, muddy street town. Columbia will be sneered at as the city of unlimited mud. Columbia, awake to the situation and a great oppjortunity. Help us by helping your self. Wekome Furman! Welcome to our campus, all Furman stu dents. We are glad to have you visit us and hope that your stay will be pleasant. The student body of the University of South Carolina is always happy to have students of other schools on our canpus and believes that such intercourse will stimulate friend ship among the institutions. Though our teams may be rivals on the field of battle, there is no enmity otherwise, and we wish for the most amicable feelings to exist be tween players and student bodys. The old spirit of bitter rivalry between schools which contest for athletic supremacy has passed away -and in its place there has grown up a feeling of brotherhood and sym pathy. We all attend college for the same primary purpose; to prepare ourselves for life. Realizing that we are fellow students, although having different alma maters. Therefore, there should be no feeling of enmity, but only one of congeniality and friendship. Our campus is the state of South Carolina and to us that small part which is enclosed within our walls, is the center of educational leadership. Though we are Carolina, you are Furman, and others are other schools, we are one body of stu dents aiming for the ' betterment of the state. The spirit that now exists between Caro lina and Clemson is one of the greatest ex amples of intercollegiate relationship we know of. Every year the Clemson corps en camps at the State Fair and thereupon makes our campus its headquarters. We are glad to have them and wish they came more of ten. Their conduct while here is to be recommended. Regardless of who wins the football game the friendship remains the same. They are welcome here as we believe they are welcome on the Furman campus despite the article in the Furman Hornet to the contrary. May there be no enmity between educational institutions. - U.S.C. - Youth Conquers All * * * Now, even as it has been since the begin ning of time, youth is criticized and regard ed with contempt by the older generation. Again, as it has always done, youth will displace age and the son shall rule the father. 'T'he elder will become blind to all except the past ; the son shall see, not the past, but the present and future. As a boy approaches manhood he is as a traveler who climbs a long hill and sees more and more of a broad plateau stretching away before him. That p)lateau is "life". Thel boy must seek the other side where is -"dleath". But there he finds more than death for he leaves what he found on the wvay. Across this plateau of life is a p)ath. It is the road of experience and is easy to travel. Many have gone this way and had no mis hal). It has been made clear and distinct by many feet that have p)assedl before. Y'outhi here finds an easy way to reach the other sidee and be successful in life. But wvhen he gets there what has he? Hie has only what many others have. T1he road has been long p)ickedl clean and he finds nothing to add to the pile at the end of life. He has not failed but he has contributed nothing to man. Such a one leads a good life. Many do not elect to follow the beaten p)ath which stretches straight a head. Others wish to find a newv way, see new things and have something to (leposit on the ever-grow ing pile at the ther side. These dlefy tradi tionf andl convention and as they (do so, those aheadl on the straight p)ath look back and call them fools. All too many of those who take to find their own wvay are temptedl far ther and farther afield and forget the pur p)ose of life's journey. These are lost over the cliffs or in the swampjs at the edge of the plateau. There lot has been failure. I'hey neither reach the other :si no. cn tribute anything to life's pile except a warn ing to others. We speak of these as fools. The smaller number but the greater num ber (smaller in numbers but greater in pur pose and accomplishment) disdain to follow the beaten path but fight onward through the unexplored valley of the shadow and over the mountain of despair. New wonders are unfolded before them; they discover things never dreamed of before; they see what has neveer been seen; they find those things which, added to the pile of life, make it grow. Though scorned and condemned by those who have gone before; they show them new things. Though stoned and beat en, they find pecious minerals in the stones and value untold in the rods that hape fallen on their backs. The monsters that attack them are made to do their bidding; the riv ers that halt the explorers progress is made to carry them on: the wind that threatens then life soon aids their way: the man who scoffed at their start prepares the way for them at the end. As they reach the horizon of life they have much to put on the pile. He who followed the easy road because he was afraid to brave the forrest of unconven ion, the mountain of pessimism, the desert of contradiction, the wind of competition, and the other elements which confront a man who tries to improve the human race, finds that he becomes the servant of him who fought the battle of life alone-and wvon. It is a strange thing the the human race criticizes most the one who is doing most for mankind. It is another strange thing that the one who leads the criticism does the least. It is easy to criticize but it the real man who offers supporgt. THE WEEKLY ORACLE Because the Teacher Says So, Doesn't Always Make it True!
