Assistant Manager TUESDAY, OCTOBER. 22, 1929 Watch Your Conduct The Fairs are here with all of their gold and glitter. This week the Carolina student body will attend the State Fair 011 Thursday and next week the student body goes to Orangeburg. Often we are prone to celcbrate during these fairs a little too much, so The Gamecock wishes to urge each and every student to conduct him or herself with great care during this period for people are watching our conduct very closely. If we conduct ourselves properly a good name will be placed on our school of which everybody will be proud, so let's all be careful and watch our conduct. u.s.c. Water On Melton Field? It has been called to the attention of The Gamecock recently that there is 110 way for a visitor to our foothall games 011 Melton field to get a drink of water. This condition should be looked into and corrected by the proper officials for this is an embarrassing situation. Perhaps the Field Canteen would object to this for they wish to sell their pop to thirsty spectators hut the advent of a drinking fountain would not hurt their business, so let's see if something can't be done to take care of this situation. Remember that water is a necessity and that when the system calls for water it mus'. be had. Besides water being a necessity, the fountain would add beauty to Melton field and to our University, a thing that is needed here. u.s.c. A Debating Coach? The University has many forms of activities here, that would he too numerous to mention, but one and only one of these activities does not have a coach or a faculty member to look after its wellfare. This is the debating team which should receive some consideration because each year our debaters go over the entire country, representing and advertising our school. Now it is obvious that if our debaters are not properly coached that they cannot perform up to the maximum requirements and thus they fail to make the power of the University known. The University spends perhaps twenty-five thousand dollars here on athletic coaches each year but they are worth it and really earn their niopey. Their teams reflect great credit upon themselves and the University and we arc proud of them. Would it not be fine also to have a coach for our debaters who also advertise our school in much the same way as our football team? The Y. M. C. A. has its secretary, the Glee Club its director, and all other activities have some kind of a director. Again, as in the case of the athletic coach, this is correct and good but why exclude the debaters from this privilege. We have here a pru/essor who offers a course in public speaking. This course, in each year, crowded by students looking for "a crip" who really derive little or no benefit from this class, so why not let this professor coach our debaters, who are men really interested in public speaking. In this way the University could give the debaters a coach with further cost. The Gamecock feels sure that this matter should be attended to for a good debating coach is certainly needed here. If we had such a coach the results obtained would justify his existence. ' 'I Paved Sidewalks Is the University of South Carolina in Columbia or no, If a stranger comes to our campus the first thing that greets his eyes, are the washed out gullies which we call paths, for lack of a better name. Therefore, it seems that we are not a part of Columbia or even the state as far as improvements go. Now this condition should be remedied. Perhaps the city of Columbia should see that this work is done or after all is not the University in the heart of the city, and do not Columbians point with pride to the University as our college. Columbia will say no doubt that she has nothing to do with our walks because the University of South ? .grounds bclo"g to the State and not to the city. This is a good argument and is worthy of our consideration but on the other hand do not University students spend large sums of money i? Columbia each year, besides contributing their efforts in behalf H ff.3 grC?r TCaP,hal City? D?es this fact '"ake "o difference? It should for the University of South duty ofV8| 3 V ?f tHiS dty- If h is ,lot the duty of Columbia to pave the walks through the campus then the State of South Carolina should invest a small amount of the sixty-five million dollar bond issue to improving and paving our campus walks. I his grand and glorious old institution is the cradle ours rT a" i na,y' CVC" democracy ?> this State of be ;i^nrettren C 1 tHat thC StatC P?ssesses should 1IVC" the University in order that we can build great men and women here. We know that living conditions effect a man very much so, people of the State, let s get busy and build decent paths for your sons and daughters to tread. The Gamecock feels that this is a serious matter and should be attended to at once either by the city of Columbia or the State of South Carolina or both ceruinh-a." mstIt,1"on as important as ours should certainly have proper ways for its students and pressors to get from their work to their rooms and T"C Way walks or patns is to pave them. u. s. c. Beat Clemson On Thursday morning over fifteen thousand people n;arfh ,imo ? ? State Fair stadium to witness the annual clash, ,n the football world, between the Tiger .. .

An Idea The Gamecock is thc best paper in the state! No us is not bragging, but merely a statement of fact' be"? 'no ,hStl'dr" "T'y prm'd of i,'~as ,hey sho,'ld e? Bo the eds and co-eds on the campus support their paper and feel that it is truly theirs? This is a college paper for the student and by the student. Uvery individual is asked to cooperate with Gamecock stall and to turn in contributions. This IS your medium of expression and thc Gamecock urges you to take advantage of it. IT.H.Q. Open Forum 1 o The I'.ditor of The Gamecock Dear Sir: Americans have made themselves tin laughing-stock of the world by marring otherwisi beautiful roadsides with flaring advertisements. tv,TifiiV?"VPirit ?f commercia,is'n is at present bein, typified by the pasting of advertisements on the wall of the students' rooms. Soon we expect to see othe, enterprising companies following the lead of this "pro gressive company until by the end of the year ou alls will be literally covered with colorful signs im poring us to smoke Hocum cigarettes, ride in Bun combe cars, and listen in on Brazzo radios. It is trite and common place to say that we con sider Carolina as our temporary home. It is none th< less true. And of course we would object to the wall of our home being used as an advertising medium an, believe the gentlemen who put these stickers on ou dormitory walls would likewise object to having hi home so cheapened. Carolina is our Alma Mater, and as such deserve all the love and respect that her sacred position call or. ride in her, alone, should cause a thoughtfn person to refrain from using her sacred halls for chea advertisements. How can Carolina as the "Fair-shrin of high honor and truth" fulfill her mission when th proper regard is not shown for the buildings on th campus? We hope thc proper authorities will take steps t have these advertisements removed. FRANCIS W. WOOD.
