Circulation Alail r CARL BROw& . . .Assistant EVANS BROWN Assistant t'RIDAT, SEPTEMBlR l, 1925 Dr. Andrew C. Moore Upon the very dawn ot a new session, the University suttered one of the greatest losses within its entire history, Dr. A. C. Moore, who was before his death head of the department of 13iology, and formerly dean of the Univer sity. Other than the ireshnen there are few students on the campus 'who have not in one way or another been connected with his iii his work. Most of them have knwn him as a botany professor, this department nearly always being crowded with those who were ever ready to listen to his brilliant lectures dealing with plant life. ecause of his long period of teaching, many graduates later returned to take him more advanced courses and make a more thorough study of science under his careful supervision. He was one of those broad-minded citizens who could not be narrowed down in one channel of activities. He took active part in building up the school system of Columbia. ,He was a diligent church worker, and in every way possible -contributed to the social betterment of the community. This University will for many years miss his great work and remarkable influence, not to say the least of this city, but the results of his work is here to stay, upon which others may build and be guided accordingly. The Gameock wiches to represent the student body in extending :itd gymtpathy to the -relatives and many friends of our beloved professor, Dr. Andrew C. Moore. USc Freshmen Greetings Thme Gasmecock wlshes to express the sentiment of the student body when it cordially welcomes the freshmen to the University campus. We realize that you have been looking forward eagerly to the days when you can calf yourselves "college students" and be proud of it. We wish even more that you feel further exalted since you can call yourselves "students of the University of South Carolina; . Tihe personnel of the campus changes approximately 'every four years. When you have been here four years; see that you have accomplished something more than stood the test of endurance--be a leader of your class. Allow us to advise once again. Do not be too hasty in dcadng to return home. Ut will be only a short time until you have become fully adjusted to your new enviroment and will always be anxiot~s to return to the campus at the beginnmng of each new term. We invite you to make this your home. These buildings are yours, so take care of them and use them as such. Meet your "ups" and "downs" wvith a smile--you wvill have them sooner or later. Be a freshman from the start and ,do not try to hold yourself above that level. It takes one whole year in colfege to become an upperclassman. Seek the advice of your superiors and do not be ashamed to do it. They have been freshmen too, and cannot deny it ; neither dIo they wish to, for they remember those days as being their most enjoyable since entering college. Attend the games, pep-meetings, join such organizations as you see ht, and you will soon get the spi-rit. By.all means do not fail to wear your freshman cap. It serves as a pass-word on, nearly all occasions and has, in soe Anannes, envedas a mal atet Gamecock Policy The new Gamecock is fortunate in having a good many members of the old staff back this year. These men that have been re-appointed have shown themselves elticient and hard workers and have had good recommenatiis. The new members that have been app>Tnted are mostly those that did voluntary contributing for former issues or those who have had their class work fully endorsed by their instruc tors. The new men and co-eds on the campus are especially invited to make contributions to The Gamteco.k. It is im possible for the reporters and other members of the staft to cover every iinportant event that take place on thet cam pus. Good special features articles and heman interst stories are always in demand. Possibly part of the articles that will be conti'auted will not be printed but do not stop after the hrst ettort, because there are mainy- reasons- why some of these caneot appear in publication. Particularly those who wish to make eticient members on the staff later, should begin now in order that you may get as much practice as possible, even as much as to im press upon the mdls '"t the present statt your eagerness to write. ' ieGameicock is kec: ia; a g )od many of the old feat ures due to the request of the students. "Student opinion" will not govern the policy of the publication, but good su"- :estions will not he entirely ignored. Thanks A 9ain t' 11,r. S eibels Again. we have the pleasure .i extending our many thanks to a distnguished and ch: table alumnus of tins institution, Alr. Edwin L. Seibels, ': late doinner o the magiicent Melton Ubservatory. Within linn Hall has been place I a well-equipped and up-to-date pool ta!>le which was pre -:nted to the Un versity during the early part of the sutmm. r by Al r. Seibels while the students were probably unaware it receiving -t gift of this kind. It is probably unnecessary to ientton or recall in any way his past services to the University, for those that have been in connection with it in the least, have come to think of him as one who is always willng to sacrihe to any ex tent for the advancement of its welfare. He has served on various committees and in many connection with this insti tution, giving his time to this work when it was perhaps urgently needed in his business. It is serious regret that we cannot do more to show our appreciation to him for these splendid gifts and his devo tion for our Alma Mater. Our hearts go out to Mr. Seibels. U SC Straw Vote On page tour oi tn a issue wii ue a uaiut to ue taseu- im a straw vote for amita or hoover. It has not been the policy of lie (samiiecock Jormeriy to engage in i5ational puotics, nitner is such tile ease at the present. Just th" .same we are runing this ballot and the votes wnl be col lected, counted, and the results pubished as soon as pos sible. 'lhis is not an action put on by this publication alone but one that is being sponsored nationally. College Humor w:ili later get the results from all the colleges and pl$biish the total vote so as to gvve the public some idea of student opinon of the two candidates. Last year before nomination of either Republican or Democratic candidate, the University put on a straw vote and mn this Al tnmtlh easily got the largest vote. T.his w'as very inaccurate as there were several candidates for both parties and we feel that this will give us a better idea of the students choice for president. Every student is asked to vote, as .it is the duty o1 svery citizen to give his expressions of such important na ~ional issues. Trhe majority of South Carolitia University students, we feel sure are of Democratic heritage, for this reason we are expecting a large Democratic vote. Never. theless, the Republican element is strongly represenlted on the campus and this vote may be larger than expectedf. We are anxiotus to find out just what percenltage of the stuidenlts are inclined towvard each party. Go to the canteen (ill hallwvay of Ten. 4) and cast your vote b)elore the ballot mi tis issue has '>een deCstroyed. It is tile duty of every stu:dent to see that the every other stud(enlt cast only one vote. 'This in an inlstitutsonl, nleed less to say, where thle hlonor principlIe is supp)osedl to he im force. It shlould work inl this instance as muchl as in the classroom dturmg examinlations and the votes will he cotin ed with tils in mind--never doubting thle validity of a sifwgie vote. SYLVAN BROS.
