OCTOBER 9, 192 Fuculty Cooperation In Chapel one day last week Dean Baker informed the students that when the bell rings the classes thee an session arc automatically and immediately dismissed. It seems that if a professor fails to dismiss the class when the alarm is sounded that students* should be at liberty to get up and walk out without pienalty to their grade or standing. Every professor in the University expects to b)e able to start his class on time but if the studlent is deta-ined in the preceding class he will neces sarily be late to his next class, which is very disturbing to the class as a wvhole and is discourteous to the pro fessor. It does not seem that every professor is thoughtful enough and unselfish enough to discontinue his lecture immediately at the close of the hour. It is not only a matter of respect for. the professor who has the follow. ing class but students have more respect for the pro feso hodimsss. i Ulases promtly thebel rigs efre he las i disiese s becauseh gean pofssrsshul se t ro thi view sant Frsm n Ciru tonMnas frshencas.Inths sse fheGaecc theressian anarice u tte y aCampusergiation stin thtno frhmalne wilay ladtek toeanyo Bake infomes unes stdeyt weartwhsnteear heagter. sete insession re uretritionsl and willmeesiate frsmed. to ems their cap atoes falies, and nils they clave been ateaamusudento thisinttutoo onuens whol yea liberadly thi Upniwarkst itoguts vealuable teir gradeior O salding. o Eveyprclolege infe thierity earpegution apostar Sois cstds onatie bt idtea studenaiIt is not,inednonsoundpreceding hwillnividua wail consider ito hs such. class pricharge or ditherbing to baelys aov acwo and i is discourtaint thn r fessory.rs ascnb ucae hae.Suet entrn oego rem foe that thpoesso wilb reuiredu tomeate at rehma caps anf that hu.it is not cslay o bot hadeao efortoe leavrty hoe Wlinghout then. frinthe majorings yefor them isdmed, withause proba bility, equip themselves before leaving and When 'these facts are taken into consideration it will be found that the cost is less. .. .. A possible solution of the problem would be to have the caps entirely in the control of the University and a ruling requiring the freshmen to wear them, subject to suspension if they did not. Other colleges and Univer sities seem to get better results by doing this, so why can't this be done with success here? Carolina Spirit Within. the entire annals of history there is recorded but one renaisance-that great reawakening of learning in Europe. The University of South Carolina has an interesting history, but only at rare intervals do we find those in stances recorded which were destined to mean so much to the institution. Metaphorically speaking, there has been a renaissance upon this campus-not of learn,ing as we would perhaps have it but of that great Carolina spirit. This reawakening must have some remarkable cause back of it, as there is in connection with the renaissance of Europe. Football has been a favorite sport of this institution for many years. When it was first introduced to the campus, baseball was considered much the greater game by the students. Practically the entire student body attended all the contests between opposing teams. In the beginning there were no grandstands. Even after they were built, they were small, and wher crowded, even dangerous. Nevertheless, the students attended the games with a good spirit. We would justly give considerable credit for the I revival of the -Carolina spirit to Laval. When he came to the University, his past record was such that the student body was fully confident of his ability as a coach. The team believed in his ability, and as such they fought for victory and won it. With a clear record behind us, there is little to fear of the teams yet to be played. With a good spirit, a good team, apd a good coach. we can battle on with unhampered faith. usc OPEN FORUM Articles may be published in the Open Forum, but will be printed as submitted. To the Editor of The Gamecock : There has been among the old students quite a bit 'of comment about the lack of gym dances this year. No one seems to know why we aren't or can't have them, and I cannot see the logic of stopping them. If the Athletic Association. has cut them off the student body would like to know why. I do not question that it was done for some good reason, but I'm just an in -quisite sort of person If the faculty prohibited them I'd also like to know why. This is not meant in any way to be impertinent or disrespectful to those in au thority, but it would seem, to me at least, fair for the student body to know why it has been deprived this pleasure. Some students think that they were vut off because they were rough and that a majority of the boys who attended drunk. If that is true what are chaperons, (bouncers," and the Campus Patrollmen for, if it is not ,regulate drinking? A boy is not allowed on the dance floor if he is drunk. And why does a nightwatch.. man give warning before he gets serious with drunken boys? There are not half of the boys that attend the gym dances given to drunkenness. Then is it fair to the others to prohibit altogether the dances out of which they derived so much innocent pleasure? To cut out the gym dances because of drunkenness seems to evidence a weakness on the part of the Uni versity to inforce its rules of conduct and foist upon someone else the responsibility which is unquestionably its own. The University cannot hope to control or even prevent ungentlemanly conduct at Lakeview, Ridgewood or Forest Lake, or any of the dance places around Co lumbia. It gives more opportunity to the students to drink; they meet non-students who are less scruplous than themselves and there is no "judge" to turn them up to the discipline committee. Furthermore, not more than ten per cent of the stu dents have cars and are able to go the various places around Columbia. This, again, works an undue hard ship on the remaining majority. This article is not meant to incur the. wrath of those in authority, but rather to 'place before them the point of view of a large part of the student body, and to ask that they reconsider the rule that now prevails.
