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.

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.

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.
