Assistants TUESDAY, MAY 21, 1929 We Bow, Tigers There was wailing and lashing of teeth in the jungle Thursday night; the Tigers had come, fought, and fallen, and there he lay, torn and bleeding. The Game cock crowed long and loud. But Gentleman Gee, master mind of Clemson sportdom, was not discouraged. Withdrawing from the masses, he retreated to his lair to think it out alone. All night long he thought and planned and tore his hair; and the dawn found hini with a plan-a noble plan, worthy only of Gentleman Gee. Clemson should win the title after all. The Game cock had gone to roost after victory, and what was there to prevent the Tiger from recovering? Noth ing but a pug hound. And so arrangements were made last Friday, whereby a double-header should be played with the Citadel (the poor Dog's tail had been be tween his legs ever since he had first crossed the path of The Gamecock.) Of course, one cannot help but admire the stand Citadel took. The first game with Clemson had been rained out. And what if no one did think of playing a doubleheader Saturday until the Tiger had fallen? It made no difference-according to the Citadel. And so the Bulldog was made the dupe. Why didn't Carolina play a post season game as a cone-back? Because it is not consistent with the athletic policy here at the Universityl Doesn't that make you lift your chin a little? Honestly, Gee, we don't admire your attitude. You have decreased the size of your Tiger to that of a cat-you have striped him black and white-you have placed a distinctive odor about him, which is sensed throughout the state. But why all this! Tiger banners are waving triumph antly; pennants of the purple and the orange are flying victorious. The jungle is rudely awakened by the roaring of the beast. The Hound still has his tail be tween his legs, but is weakly singing, "Good-bye Caro lina." The Gamecock is still at roost. We bow, Tigers. -u.s.c. Seniors Farewell As thlis is thle last isstue of Thle Gamecock for thlis year it seems fittinlg at this time for Th'le Gamecock to say a word of farewell to those leavinlg oulr halls forever. 'The Gamecock is sorry to see our senliors go, btt since fate ordIers thlat tile life of a collegiallnlmust ed after four years. wve wVish to send( thlem ouit from these walls wvith our best wishes and wve hope that they wvill mlake tile most of whlatever path thley chloose to take. This year's class is tile mIost oultstandling class thlat has ever b)een gradutatedl fromn thlis instittition. The Gamecock turges that Carolina graduates stick to whatever they may undertake and always keep an eye forward to thle goal julst b)eyond and some (lay b)e crownled the most capab)le anld learned inl a chmosenm field. -u.s.c Oil For Library Lamps WVith thle impenlding crisis of examinationl week at hland, end(anlgerinlg all, anld threatenling tile laggard stu dent with failure, it dlaily becomes more evident thlat there is an overwhelminlg necessity for keeping tile University library open dulring ionger hours. The present time for closing tile reservoir of essen tial readling matter is promptly at tenl o'clock. Thlis curfew is celeb)rated nlighltly b)y the uinceremonliouls ejection of every noctumrnal seeker after knowledge. All pleas of ulrgenlt work are disregarded in the auto cratic hlaste to bar thle dloors of the library for the nlight, andl allow tile drowsy lib)rarian to rulsh to bedl. At ten o'clock the lamps of learning are automatically extinguished, withotut referenlce to the emnergencies of the season. The majority of the male students on this campus, and many of the women, do their best work between the hours of ten and twelve. During this period of the evening all entertainment and levity' is forgotten in the reaction towards neglected studies. Nor is the habit of performing one's most successful labors dur ing the late hours of the night solely a collegiate one. Authors and scientists, including such a variety of men as Sinclair Lewis, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Octavus Cohen, Henry Ford, and Edison, have accomplished their finest pieces of literary and scientific achieve ment in those same hours. If necessary, add a night watchman of books to the present force of librarians. Otherwise, pay the present personnel overtime wages to induce them to keep the library open until midnight, and to reopen earlier on these pleasant summer mornings. Regardless of the routine by which an arrogant library staff is travelling in a rut, the approach of examinations demands longer hours of access to the wealth of books contained in our library. -U.S.C. Romuli Reeses Rampant The foul hand of the Italian Mafista, or black hand society, the secret work of the Russian anarchists, and the dastardly proceedings of Chicago's meanest gang sters have been surpassed by the lowness of a slander ous notice posted on the Carolina campus. The ob jectionable bill appeared just previous to the second race for the presidency of the student body. This vicious and vituperative paper aimed a blast of bitter ness at the bespectacled head of one of the campus statesmen, an ex-politician according to his own ad mission. Romulus Reese, the person scorched in the flame of this explosive hatred, presumably had done nothing to damage the cause and fortunes of the author of the poison poster. No man could have warranted the publication of such a vindictive paper unless he had injured the writer by committing a crime of the first degree. The Gamecock feels sure that Mr. Reese is free from all such sin. Nothing was accomplished by the work of the un known rascal who published the notice. Though it bore mention of the Holy City Clan, recently ridiculed by Mr. Reese as the Unholy Cityites, the assumption that any of the prominent Charlestonians on the campus were guilty of the authorship of the article is preposterous. In order to reveal the sorry and sarcastic humor to which the poison pen artist resorted, the notice posted at the polls and in chapel is published below! IEWARD OR CASH BOUNTY! NO QUESTIONS ASKEI)! The National Society for the Prevention of Pcsts will pay cash bounties for the slaughter by gun, trap, or poison of the following destructive anim)als, harmful in sects, and disturbing pests For Highly Perfumed Skunks $1.00 For Gnawing Gnats $1.00 (Per thousand) For Mushy Mosquitoes $1.00 (Per dozen) For Romuli Reeses $ .13 (Per million) The above mentioned vermin are to be scalped with a bread knife, and their scalps carefully wrapped in tissue paper, with the c.ception of the lowly species last named. In this instance the skull is too hard to permit scalping, and total decapitation is necessary. Once re moved, the head should be transported in a sack so that the public may not be shocked by the hideous face. SOCIETY PREVENTION OF PESTS, Headquarters, The Holy City. A soul filled with such bitterness and enmity as that above should be separated from its insane body by the judlicious use of chloroform. Last -Words T1his being the last issue of The Gamecock for this school year, the retiring Editor feels privileged to make a fewv scattering personal remarks. The office of editor in-chief of a college newspaper is by no means an easy one, and The Gamecock certainly affords no exception. It is utterly impossible to publish a paper that will meet the approval of everybody. Not everyone strives for the same objective. And The Gamecock has re ceived a sufficient niumber of knocks dlurinig the past semester. Upon assuming the duties of Editor-in-Chief in Feb ruary, it was necessary to organize andl develop an entirely new staff. Trhis was a tremendous handicap, andl it was evidenced in the first few issues. No small move wvas taken when the printer of The Gamecock was changed. The present printer, The State Company, is heartily cooperating with The Game cock to help make it a better paper. It is a certain fact that the number of typographical errors have been greatly reduced. Since IFebruary, a Gamecock constitution has been adopted. We feel that the constitution wvill make a new beginning. In no small measure, the newvly acquired Gamecock office is a tangible step of progress. And now suc ceedling editors and staffs can become heirs of some thing tangible with which to begin wvork. And it is inevitab)le that TIhe Gamecock re;nain the best college newspaper in South Carolina anid one of the best in the South.
