'lars for the blame thing. - U.S.C. - H ail Gamecock ! The University of South Carolina stands head and shoulders above the other schools in the state in journalism. Last week at the meeting of the South Carolina College Press Association in Charleston, The Gamecock and The Carolin ian were voted as. supreme in the realm of col lege pub)lications of the state. Rivals were far behind. Trhe Gamecock is indeed proud of its accom p)lishment and is inclined to bristle its feathers and strut. For the second year in succession other college newspapers have recognized it as their peer. Journalism among state colleges is led by the University of South Carolina. Thisi has been made possible by the cooperation and pride of the students as a whole. They have taken their paper seriously and backed it thru all. It continues to be "The Best College News ponbar in South Carotina." It is the Principle "Principle if nothing else" some say in ar guing for the release of control of the publica tions by the literary societies on the campus. The principle as now existing is in direct violation of the basis of American rights and democracy. Why should 200 students control that which be longs to 1400? TheGamecock and The Caro linian belong to the student body without any reservations and are paid for by the student body but still the literary societies continue to main tain a hold upon them. It is a case of "taxation without representa tion." The publications are financed by the rev enue from advertising (which is slight) and the student activities fee. The societies contribute nothing. Therefore, it is queried why the stu dent body is denied the privilege of participating in something it pays for. Will the societies show the right principle and release the publications? - U.S.C. - Carolina Sportsmanship Sportsmanship at Carolina has become no ticed and famed abroad. Frequently this year other papers have commented upon the spirit shown by the student body and the teams of the University. The climax of the football season was reached when someone from Greenville who is interested in good spirits among the schools kindly sent The Gamecock some clippings from the newspapers of the Textile City, referring to the attitude of Carolina during the Carolina Furman game. These clippings did our heart good, as we realize that the ideas which the coaches have been pushing have taken effek' and brought forth praise from outsiders. Along with the newspaper articles this mes sage came penned by the sender, "Just to let you know what we Furmanites and Greenvillians think of Carolina's hospitality and sportsman ship." Below is what he sent. The Gamecock student body was there in masse, filled with a splendid spirit of sports manship and enthus-asm. Their band was in tune and their team was magnificient. Furman was great in her well-deserved v'ctory, but Carolina was equally as great in her defeat. Not once did this writer observe any lack of sportsmanship among the Caro lina students. They were loudly singing the praises of Schneider as they jostled out of the stands, and were high in their praises of the Hurricane as a whole. They are dead game sports and our hats are off to Carolina. Rawl played part of the game against Car olina, but attempted very l'ttle activity in the way of returning punts, carrying the ball or passing. Carolina players were instructed before the game to be easy andl careful wvith the injured p)layer in the event he came on the field and the sportsmanship the Game cocks exhibited toward him commanded the adlmiration of all Furman players and sup porters. They took sp)ecial pains, it seemed to p)revent recurring 'njury to the lad and in stead of tackling and crushing him to the ground ye . .e comfortable course for RawI by forcing him out of bounds. Once he was tackled, but is was because Rawvl attempted to criss-cross and started down midfield, and he couldn't conveniently l)e forced out of bounds. Carolina's consideration for the wvounded player was one of the many splendid features of the game that bubbled with the finest sportsmanship. When RawI wvas injured near the end of the game, the Carolina team almost was first upon the scene, anxiously endeavor'ng to render assistance to the injured Purple War rior. The crowd was by far the most orderly this writer has ever seen attending any game. Drunks were conspicuous by their absence, and only one little disturbanc was noticed. It was a great and colorful gama. This last is particularly welcomed and the writer is thanked for it. Unfortunately and un justly, Carolina ha a name for drunkards,2. -a such a statement from a paper which supports one of our greatest rivals will help much to down a bad name. May peopple about the state take notice and realize their mistake. The Gamecock takes this opportunity to praise the Furman team. It is a great team and a clean team. It is a fighting team. This is by one who saw the Furman-Citadel game also. From a team which once had a name for dirty playing the Purple Hurricane is now acknowl edged to be an eleven playing with good sports manship. - u.s.c. - Is Campus to Burn ? "Burn up the whole darn place. Who sares ?" Seems to be the way some people fee' about the University of South Carolina, or so we would judge. Within the last month three trash boxes on the campus have caught fire. These boxes were up against buildings. Fortunately they were removed before the buildings them selves caught. But other trash boxes have been left against the dormitories and may some day catch fire and spread. Won't we have a great time. The campus will look fine with all the buildings burning. With no buildings, we will have no classes, so holidays will last until the University is rebuilt. However, that will not be long as the state is so rich, banks are booming and cotton is selling at such a high price, that the legislature would be glad to rebuild this school. The fact is, it would not be surprising if the people of the state wouldn't welcome a general conflagration here, as most of the buildings are old and a new plant would look so much better.
