PRINCE . ...... Assistant Manager TUESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1929 On To Orangeburg Thursday most of the Carolina students will be at Orangeburg to sec the Gamecock-Bulldog game and a big time is expected by all, but one thing must be kept in mind and that; if we beat Citadel we have got to back our team. Last week at the Clemson game the cheering was good, but the cheering must be kept and bettered if the University is to beat the Citadel this year for they have a great team at the military college. Therefore, The Gamecock urges that each and everyone to be on hand at Orangeburg and after you are there cheer like "old forty" for we want the Bulldog's hide this year. u.s. c. Less Odorous Fertilizer? A day or so ago University students were rudely awakened by peculiar odors penetrating their rooms on the morning breezes. Investigations were hurriedly made by many students who discovered that the authorities were having a very odorous brand of commercial fertilizer spread on the campus lawn. Now The Gamecock realizes that fertilizer is necessary for the proper growth of the lawn but why can't some less odorous brand of fertilizer be used instead of the stinking stuff now in use? The delicate odor prevailed until that night until a very heavy rain fell, which was highly appreciated by all campus residents, because it drove off the odor; opposite that of cologne. It is again realized that fertilizer is needed for the proper growth of plants, and if anything more of it, but can't a less odorous brand be used so that our campus will not smell like the streets of Vera Cruz. ? u.s.o. To Bum Or Not To Bum Clemson College has ordered that none of Clemson's student body can get on the roads and hitch hike in any manner. To strengthen the mandate officials have asked parents to aid in the matter by signing papers to the effect that little Johnnie will not bum rides with the elder's consent. If the students disobey, they court trouble. Just an Carolina has the distinction of being the first college to install the honor system, so can Clemson boast of the distinction of leading the way with a non-bumming student body. What a mark for other colleges and universities to shoot at? What prestige and publicity will roll in that direction when news of the radical orders quickly spread to other sections! What were once happy Sundays spent with those at home are now nothing more than lonely nights for the students. His idle moments of the week-end can r.ow be spent in the happy confines of his Alma Mater. No more will carefree and joyous youth burst upon those at home with the happy remarks, "I bummed home, and it didn't cost a penny." Dad will have to dig deep into his jeans now and producc the necessary amount for railroad fare if he wishes to shake his son's hand on the week-end. The Gamecock cannot say whether this is a wise move on the part of Clemson or not, for time will have to settle that, but it does not believe that the authorities can enforce such a ruling. How can they? M Students, The Praise Is Yours Someone once said, "When the Great Scorer comes to write against your name, he writes not whether you won or lost, but how you played the game." These words were no doubt uttered by some great leader but if such a statement is true in the great game of life, it must also be true in the same sense in the great collegiate game of America. If these words can be applied to football games they can well be applied to the Carolina students for their fine work in the Clemson game. Clcmson was [I "doped" to win by two or three touchdowns but our team, that went out there to offer battle with the Tigers, fought with undying courage to the last whistle, and side l>y side with the team, fought the students in the grandstand with their cheers and yells. Never for one moment did our team stop fighting and never for one moment did the students stop cheering. Although Carolina was defeated, the game was close and we were glorious in defeat. No one had anything of which to be ashamed for all had fought a good, clean, hard game. Coach Laval and you, coaches who assisted him, the Gamecock thanks you for your splendid work for that work was of the highest calibre and you have nothing of which to be ashamed. We offer the same thanks and the same praise to Captain Beall and to his able assistants for their splendid work on the field. The students and cheerleaders arc to be commended also for their fine work during the game. Never for one moment was "pep" lacking and the cheering encouraged the boys and drove them on. The Gamecock offers you this praise and this advice; KEEP THAT OLD SPIRIT GOING AND WE'LL [, WIN YET. The Gamecock thanks you. IT. B.C. Consideration For Others Thursday most oi the student body of this institution will attend the "little classic" of South Carolina in Orangeburg where the Citadel Bulldog and the Carolina Gamecock clash. Let's all be there cheering even harder than we did at the Clcmson game. After the students reach Orangeburg is the time for them to show the stuff of which they are made. The Gamecock has no fear concerning our team for they will fight to the last whistle, but sometimes the students become somewhat careless as to their conduct *and do things which, although not amounting to much yet hurt the name of our school. Last year Orangeburg decorated her streets with Carolina and Citadel colors, at a comparatively high cost, in honor of the visiting collegians. The effect was very beautiful and Orangeburg deserved much praise for her thoughtfulness and kindness but instead Carolina students came along, took down these colors and brought them back to their rooms. The citizens of Orangeburg were angered and at once wrote University authorities demanding the return of the colors. This was quite embarrassing to the officials of the University especially after the fine treatment the students had received at the hands of the Orangeburg people. Something had to be done immediately, so the L authoritics turned the matter over to the Kappa Sigma Kappa fraternity which promptly gathered up and returned the decorations. Students, after the people of Orangeburg are so kind to us, let's show them some consideration for their kindness by letting things alone in the Edisto City. Remember they let us into the Fair grounds free, into the game free, and to top it off they gave us dinner free, so let's conduct ourselves as ladies and gentlemen of the highest type and prove to the citizens of Orangeburg that we appreciate their efforts in our behalf. The Gamecock believes that such will be the case this year, for it feels that these acts were done carelessly and that they will not be repeated. Gues ts Of Honor The entire student body will go to the Orangeburg fair grounds this Thursday with the exception of a few unfortunates who must remain in Columbia to keep the home fires burning. Those making the pilgrimage enjoy themselves. A penniless student can leave the campus at 9 o'clock, catch a south-bound football fan and ride with him, reach Orangeburg in time to see the noonday game with Citadel without extra charge, eat a free lunch provided by the citizens of Orangeburg, and then bum a ride home in time for supper. Though free, seats are not all behind the goal line or in the deepest corner of the field. A few are reserved for students, and the first comer gets them. It is worthwhile to travel the 70 or more miles to Orangeburg, for hospitality shortens the distance and fair treatment sooths the blistered pedestrian. But as for the State Fair and Clemson game ***** Canteen Improves One marked improvement is already noticeable under the present administration of Dr. Ralph K. Foster as director of student activities, and that is in the management of the University canteen. With Burnet Stoney directly in charge and acting as purchaser, service at the canteen is more efficient and prompt, the stock is larger, and the campus lunch counter more fitted to fulfill its indispensable duty. It is even rumored that the institution is making a profit. Whether these talcs be truth, THE GAMECOCK does not know, but one thing it knows above all else. The very sound is welcome music to ears filled with the sinister word "debt." Blessings on the powers that be, and may the hand that punches the cash register grow stronger from exercise.
