Assistant Manager ft TUESDAY, SEPT. 24, 1929 Welcome Freshmen To those students who are entering the University or the first time, The Gamecock wishes you a hearty welcome. I You arc now a part of this great institution of learning and as you go forward through your career here Hnore and more of the responsibilities of this school and Hhe State of South Carolina will he thrust upon your Shoulders. Now is the time to get started in the right Bvay so that when these responsibilities will he thrust Hipon your shoulders, you will he able to make the most >f the situation. I As you go through your college career here you will Hiakc many friends, who will follow your success and ailurcs with that friendship that you will know here Hntil death, and many enemies, who will despise you Hntil death. Many things that are unpleasant will Hieet you face to facc but the only way to overcome this to meet these problems as best you can and let your Honscience he your guide. I Again in welcoming you to Carolina, The C.amecock Hishes for you a prosperous and pleasant four year's Hork for yourself, your school, and your country. To The Upperclassmen The Gamecock is glad to see old familiar faces again ^ 1 the campus and wishes to take this opportunity to H:ain welcome you into these halls of learning. We arc expecting great things of our upperclassmen is year. Carolina is exactly what you make it. The Gamecock suggests that you conduct yourselves in the highest possible manner and also that you teach the freshmen this high standard that we are maintaining here. Let's make this a banner year in the history of Carolina, by putting everything we've got into whatever we do. Again The Gamecock welcomes you into the fold. I'.H.C. Respect To Theaters During football seasons heretofore, when a shirt tail parade was staged by the students after winning a football game, they most invariably marched through the various theaters situated on Main Street. The Gamecock feels that this is not right and especially it is not showing the operators of the theaters due respect, nor the patrons patronizing them, for every one knows how it interrupts the entertainment going on, when approximately 000 or 700 gayly attired college youths, who are making much "whoopee," to march in and out of the theaters. Now the managers of these theaters were very hesitant in advertising in The Gamecock and all the other college publications on account of this reason, and only after much persuading did they advertise. We hope that those participating in these parades will dissuade from this practice. Take notice cheerleaders and Kappa Sigma Kappa and lets see if we can't show our advertisers a little respect in return for the kindness and loyal backing they have shown Carolina in the past. Students, The Gamecock urges that we meet them fifty-fifty and show our appreciation and respect for those who are always ready to back old Carolina, by not parading through the theaters. ir.B.e. Dignified Chapel Manners, like murder, will out. And some of the breaches of etiquette and good breeding recently committed at Carolina deserve a penalty almost as heavy as that of the death dealing crime. 1 1 1 I I I , . I I I 1 I 1 I . ggjgg=g=Sg=g From time immemorial, the University chapel has been a sacred place, inviolate in the hearts of all gentlemen, and later, of all ladies. Despite the variety oi uses to which it has been put recently, the dignity ol the chapel should be foremost at all times. It is fai from that proper state. At the freshman stunt nighl last Friday a number of youngsters lit and smoked cigarettes in the chapel. They should have been abashed. Instead, they were happy. They no longer had to run behind the woodshed for a smoke. Student Body Traditions A present day history of South Carolina states that the University of South Carolina is noted for the famous men who have graduated here and have gone out and won everlasting fame for themselves and their Alma Mater. The Gamecock reads this with great pleasure for we arc proud of our Alumni and what they have done. VVc are also proud of our institution here. These men who have won fame and many others, that have preceded us, have seen fit to leave to us rules of conduct that we now call traditions and of which we are justly proud. Such traditions are sacred to us because they stand for much. Perhaps the greatest of these is the Honor Principle whereby every student is put upon his honor to conduct himself as a gentleman, an honest man, and a scholar. If he is proven not to be a gentleman,'he is forced to withdraw from the University. There are many others, just as important, among them being the fact that every Carolina man speaks to every other Carolina man wherc-evcr they may be. A complete list of these traditions may be found in the University Y. M. C. A. Handbook. Now The Gamecock suggests that the freshmen learn these traditions and stick to them. Of course it is obvious that some of them will be irksome at first but remember they were created by famous men so stick to them and before long you too, freshmen, will learn to love and respect them even as we love them. Advertise The Team Carolina has a football team, one which placed itself in the ranks of the victors often during the past season. Virginia, Maryland, and Chicago fell before the Gamecock's onslaught in national contests on distant gridirons. Later, conquered Virginia stood shoulder to shoulder with Princeton throughout four quarters that ended in a 0 to 0 tic, and Maryland cut a wide swathe through its opponents. Chicago's defeat in an early game surprised the vast majority of football fans in the South and Middle West. Strange as it may seem, the University's football team will have to play incognito again this year, unknown and unheralded even in the South. Laurels of last year, which should have been hung high and turned into a banner of prophecy for the future, have faded because of insufficient publicity. In the September issue of College Humor, a list of "promising football captains of 11)2'.)" is published. The editors did not wish to omit the State University of South Carolina from their lengthy list. No information on the football lineup here being available, they resurrected "Old Bill" Cooper, captain and hero of 1928 team, and placed him on the roster to lead Carolina another year. A schedule of fall games is presented for the football fan's delectation by this outstanding and widely read college magazine of the country. Furman, Clemson, VYofford, Erskine and Newberry are mentioned along with Georgia Tech, Notre Dame, Yale, Army, California and countless others. Bashful Carolina evidently will not play a game before December, for her name is absent from the roll of universities and colleges engaging in football combats during preceding months. Publicity helps gate receipts, and is instrumental in making the football season the saviour from financial sickness at many colleges. Publicity raises the morale | and stiffens the backbone of the team to which it is vouchsafed, for they feel that the eyes of the world are upon them and they must do well. Turn the spotlight on Carolina, and give a good team the rocognition due them! U.S. c. What Has Citadel? Recent importations through the port of Charleston include a Chinese and a Porto Rican, both of whom are considered promising candidates for The Citadel's freshman team. Philip Euyang, of Shanghai, weighs 170 pounds, is six feet tall, and has played Rugby football. Tomas Luis Boncta writes "I will be most glad for the opportunity of attempting to make your football team." He brings 170.pounds of tropical brawn to do it. In the past, faint military mutterings have been heard; "Oh, that Carolina man who scored the touchdown is from New Jersey," and "They say Furman's backfield ran the whole way from Oklahoma to Greenville." Both New Jersey and Oklahoma are within the continental boundaries of the United States. Growl no longer, Bulldogs I Lamp Posts New and neat iron lamp posts replace the gawky green poles that reached up in mid campus. The modern lighting system encircles the campus with a diadem of electricity, thanks to some beneficicnt hand. More, it saves the wanderer after midnight from getting splinters in the nape of his neck when he honors tradition by leaning against a post for a snooze. Cushioned lamp posts will come into vogue soon, praise Bacchus I / I EAT AT FLOMAC'S F We cordially invite professors and students to make Flomac's their headquarters. Good food and splendid service.
