Welcome Alumni Saturday, November 0th, many of Carolina's former graduates will return to the campus again to visit old familiar scenes of their college life. Many old hearts wi'l he glad and will heat faster as they once again feel that "old Carolina spirit" surging within them. To these men, The Gamecock extends to you the heartiest welcome. May you enjoy every minute of your stay here back at home. A modern college is made up of three distinct parts namely the students, the professor, and the alumni. Now it is obvious that these three departments must work and work hard if we are to have a great University here. In the past the alumni have not been holding up their end of this work as they are capable of doing but in recent years the alumni, under the capable administration of George Bell Timmerman and Barney A. Early, president and secretary respectively of the alumni association, have once again "come into their own" and are now upholding their end of the work. There yet remains much to be done so the earnest appeal of The Gamecock to the alumni is to get your association solidly organized and then great good will be felt here at the University through your efforts. Again in welcoming you to the campus, we wish you an enjoyable day here and we hope that your interest in the alumni association will be greatly strengthened. U.S. c. Hear The Marine Band The United States Marine Band, the official band of the president of the United States, will be heard here twice on Nov. U, which is also homecoming day. This band is being brought here for the purpose of raising money for the alumni loan fund which is lent to deserving students, in order that they may be enabled to complete their college education. At this time all of this fund has been spent so the authorities here deemed it wise to engage this band, which is touring the South for the first time in fifteen years, to play here in order that this fund might be revived. So students, The Gamecock requests that you make arrangements to hear this band and also that you try to get as many of your friends out to hear this hand so that otir loan fund may be as large as possible for as everybody knows agricultural South Carolina is undergoing a period of depression at the present time and that many worthy boys from these farms arc being forced to go without a college education while if we had this fund many of these boys would be enabled to get a college education. Let us all be there and hear these famous musicians for in so doing we will not only be enjoying ourselves but also helping others. Long ago it was said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." Truth Crushed To Earth It is a conceded fact among gentlemen that they treat all comers as equals until the strangers by their actions indicate themselves to be otherwise, vagabonds, hoboes, or plain bums. The Gamecock adheres to this policy, especially in its relationship with other college papers in the state, but must deviate for the sake of honesty and justice long enough to point out as contemptible certain statements made in the Clcmsou liger of last week. Under the inappropriate headline "Sports, the liger. publishes the following statement concerning the game with Carolina, after referring to Head Coach William Laval as having held secret practice with no result except to draw spectators to the game: "It seems that the only result of those three weeks of secret practice was fake sidelines on each side of the field about one yard inside the playing field. It did net them a touchdown or so but what a waste of time. Three whole weeks." The assertions of the Clemson scribe arc so childish and unfounded that we hesitate to consider them, except in the interest of exactitude. In the first place, Carolina scored two touchdowns, and on neither of the long hegiras through the whole Clemson team did the ball carrier step near the sidelines, "fake" or otherwise. Secondly, the placing of sidelines "One yard inside the playing field" would have been a distinct handicap to a Carolina back carrying the ball, since such an arrangement would reduce the width of the playing field two yards. Finally, the field was marked by officials of the State Fair. Perhaps they were farmers such as the Clemson sports writer is a journalist, unable to turn a straight furrow. Certainly they had nothing to gain from "fake sidelines." Continuing in the same tone as his effusion on sidelines, the honorable scribbler of Cow College says: "In the rat game Wednesday the courtesy due all visiting teams was most deficient." He laments into ! hundreds of words the fact that Clemson freshmen "had I to watch their teammates wallop the Biddies from a scat on the ground," but confesses in martyrdom, "that we expected tricks and we endured them." It is too bad about the little freshmen, the cowboys so aptly called Cubs who "walloped" the Biddies 3 to 0. Perhaps they did not wish to dirty their panties, sitting 011 the nasty ground. And then too, they may have been paddled with a hoe handle by their superiors. After reflection, we would that they had been furnished nice, comfy pillows to sit 011. But there is a joker in every raw deal, and the Clemson "holler hound" turned his face up 011 the table. Ranting on about the wrong doing of the University, from head coach to lowliest freshman, lie declares that "perhaps the dumbest example of anticipation ever witnessed was the big whoopee pulled off in Columbia Wednesday night when the Carolina students paraded a stuffed Tiger on a rail through the streets." Featured on the front page of his own paper is a story, in the poorest journalistic form, wherein the writer tells of the impending game with Kentucky, and affirms that "I am willing to bet my education that the Tigers will be 011 top when the final whistle blows." Shortly after tins choice trumpet call from the Clemson horn tootcr, Kentucky tramped all over Clemson 44 to 0. The man who bet his "education" should he given a scholarship to Harbison to compensate fully him for his loss. "And when we beat Kentucky we will be well on our way to a Southern Conference Championship." How pitiful it sounds! Striking a prophetic note without the slightest realization of his deed, the Clemson sportsman announces that "Next looms Kentucky, which will enable the Tigers to really lose a bag of eye-openers." Of course the typewriter clawing scribe did not mean to say "lose," but rather "loose." He spoke truly, however, with his grammatical error pointing the future fiasco of the team which literally "lost a bagful of eye-openers." In thus gently calling the Clemson gentleman's attention to the fact that he is lacking in the garden variety of veracity supposed to be cultivated at his college, The Gamecock feels that it is touching a rotten spot in publications over the entire state. A little restraint in lambasting Carolina would help the tone and ease the conscience of many an editor. From this indictment The Gamecock docs not exempt the sports writer of The Charleston News and Courier, a man of long professional standing. Indeed, such as he set a sorry example for untutored and gullible college scribes. In writing up the Carolina-Citadel war at Orangeburg, the master journalist aforementioned refers to the Gamecock line as "vicious and savage roughing it up with an attack which drew repeated penalties for its barbarism." As none of the penalties imposed on Carolina was longer than fifteen yards, and the briefest punishment for slugging and similar activities is twenty, we are mystified by the Charlestonian's statement. This is 110 unusual condition after perusing his columns. Diogenes would hardly find his honest man among the sports writers of South Carolina, be they collegians or professionals.
