Cutting Class is Fine
The faculty of North Carolina State College has
adopted a plan whereby it is hoped that the scholarship
of the institution will be raised by requiring each stu
dent who misses a class without an excuse to pay a fine
of fifty cents. The plan also requires that all written
work missed for any reason shall be made up or the
student shall receive a zero. The fifty cents fee will be
charged for make-ups unless the absence is excused by
the dean of students. And the fee will be. doubled if
the student fails to be present at the make-up hour.
The Gamecock heartily agrees with the students of
N. C. State College in their strenuous objection to the
new system. ''here are sonic colleges in the countrv
operated under the plan of voluntary class attendance.
and the plan has been found to work very satisfactorily.
It is the student's business whether he goes to class or
not. alnI not the business of the profe.,sor. It is the
busines, if the professor to teach, lecture, and present
th, lessor,-and lie should be concerned only about cifec
tice presentation. Class attendance is the business of
the student, and if he i, absent-well aind good-that is
the student's own lo's, gain, lookout, or what not. \Vhat
des a student go to college for? If he wants an educa
tion he will have enterpri.e enough to try and get it.
t -lege is the wrong place for the inliction of child-like
.lnent. And a police court is entirely out of the
* H U.S.C.
O)ne htmprovement calls for another-boys, wouldn"
nt be a fine thing if Columbia College also had a tele
phone exchange?
Carolina Coaching

the track mnen at the University of South Carolina would
Iind( it dlifficuilt to (list inguishi thle coach from the squad
in training. The coach irunls with his men: lie trains with
thenm; laughs with them; and in this way tIhe coach not
oniily gi es his menI ~ somtIlhling to work for. lbut t hey sooni
-. learn that lie is as mutch initerestedl in their running as
hey themselves are. Th'lis mode of coaching will bring

T'he Unativersit y is indceedl fort itna te in securingc suchi an:
able leader as Coach \'orno~'n. TIle fulftills se venal co ach -

Prospects are bright fir Carolina on the einider path.

Girls and Co-Eds
We do not wish to make. a distinction between girls
and co-eds-because the differenct: is too small. But,
while on the subject we would like to distinguish that
co-eds do as they please, and get away with it, while
girls cannot. The co-eds at Carolina are, real sports.
They are enlarging our school. Out of a student enroll
ment of 1637 at the University, the co-eds constitute
595 of this number. They are playing a prominent role
in the line of student activities.
Carolina is proud of her co-eds. Taken as a whole,
they are good-looking. They dress fashionably and sty
lishly. They can wear overalls and carry an umbrella
on a sunny day and we all think it is "cute". Some wear
shorter dresses than others, and those who wear long
one.s do it for their own sakes and not for the sake of
their opposites.
The Carolina co-eds also give the boys a race in class
room work. The female, makes the higher scholastic
average. When she studies, she studies only her books;
but whe.n a boy studies, he studies about Juliet. If we
would take our choice between girls and co-eds-give us
back our co-eds.
Griping Grouches
Everybody dislikes a "griping grouch." There are
certain people always going around griping about some
thing. This class of people is never satisfied. They
think they can do things better than anybody else. They
are always finding fault. The only energy they ever
exert is exerted by their tongues. They never speak to
anybody in a friendly manner. In other words, they are
just plain "griping grouches." And it would be a good
thing if we could do a little sifting at the University of
South Catolina.
Instead of griping about something, the thing to do
is "do it yourself" and do it better if you can. Things
can never be made better by griping about mistakes al
ready made. The only thing to do is to see what yon
can do to make the situation better.

Mixers and Book Worms
'l'he great crying need of the business world today i,
the man who is a good mixer, and not the nian who has
a Phi Beta Kappa key attached to his coat. A man m.y
delve in books for a lifetiime, and never make a success.
It takes a Imanii who is a mixer to make a success in the
world. Hook knowlelge can be acqtired, nut if one is
not born a good mixer, that person is at a great disad
vantage. Personality is a great aid in mixing with peo
ttle. It is essential to succeess. And we believe that the
man with personality and the power to "mllix" is an
answecr to the call of the business world as much as ed
heation is.
