FRIDAY, OC
vext fall-where
Judging from their showin
gain the Presbyterian "rats" lai
'riday, our Freshman football teai
lis year should be the best thf
arolina has had in many year:
Their coaching, the spirit of co-oj
eration shown by the players, an
the ability of the individuals seen
to be far above the average for "rat
teams here.
For the last several years, pro:
I>ects at the beginning have seeme
almost as bright as they are th
year, but for some reason or ar
other the players have dropped ou
and by the beginning of the ne>
year, the biggest portion of the notorial
has disappeared. And this \vi
likely be what will happen this yea
unless something is done about i
We have been getting some of tl
best potential material with whic
to build football teams here as an
other college in this vicinity, bt
they have been failing?indeed, vv
have been losing them!
It is very hard to go out on th
field and practice five and six aftei
noons out of every week, and the
come in and try to study. It take
a man with self-control, and a 11101
than average amount of will powe
to study when he comes in fror
practicing all the afternoon. But,
is the price that one must pay i
order to play the game. The Gamf
cock feels that some steps should b
taken to impress upon the minds c
these rats" who are trying out fc
the team the necessity and impoi
tance of studying, and passing thei
work. Why shouldn't the Personn<
Bureau, which has been recently es
tablished, check up on these individ
uals and help them in their studiei
so that they will not be lost to 11
for service on the varsity next yeai
Just here is one of the wea
points in our whole football systen
If Carolina is ever to have a gre<football
team, steps must be take
to prevent so much of the Freshma
material from flunking. Of course
the individual must have a desire t
study, and a will to pass, before an
v help will ever do him any good ; bt
it a little instructive counsellin
and help was given him, many mor
would be found available for us
next fall.
If we hope to have a real footba
team next fall, now is the time t
H working for it. If somethin
isnt done about it, the same ol
story will be repeated?nameh

Right now is a real testing time ^)e
,s for Carolina supporters. 1 f Carolina t'1
students are really behind their ai
team, and want to help them win, sc
now is the time to show it. Outsiders '1C
l" will be watching us from now on. SQ
Even though Georgia Tech did t'1
r' beat us last Saturday by such a large
score, we have a real football ma- th
l.e chine. We will have tough opposi- ai
I tion tomorrow against Louisiana 10
y State, but if the students will show
lt their true spirit, and go out there
e and yell like they have never yelled
before, then the team will fight even tl(
ie harder.
Let's not receive that old criticism
n which has been made at times in
;s the i>ast, that Carolina students are
"e not good losers. Let's boost our
team; let's boost our spirit, and let dc
the world know that we can be good tei
it losers as well as good winners. And th
u then, the annual tussle with the th
5- Clemson Tiger is just a little way of
e off. Now is the time to get ready; ge
let's all be at the game tomorrow, cr

I- School stickers go a long way in on
advertising a college. Almost every re
is college boy likes to send stickers to th
r. his girl friends at other colleges; w(
k his parents like to have them back th
i. at home to proudly put on their au- a 1
it tomobile?they are proud of the
n school which their son is attending,
n A needed piece of service could
i, l>e rendered by some organization
o on the campus in this respect. If
y one of the service or leadership fra- be
it ternities would have several thou- a
g sand stickers of an attractive design sh
e made and distribute them free to ev
e the students, they would be doing a tic
big piece of service for their school ga
II in advertising Carolina, and would th<
o certainly receive the appreciation pe
g and commendation of their fellow- Jy
d students. Take notice, O D K, Blue po
r, Key, K S K, and others. ./The price pa
e would be surprisingly negligible.

WHERE IS IT?
?
There is something that is rapidly
sappearing from this campus;
>mething that has been here since
ie founding of this great old
hool; something that makes of a
itdent a nobler student, and of
arolina a grander place to live. Its
sappearance is greatly to be re etted,
for when it has gone, the I
niversity of South Caroljpa will r
>t be the same.
There are some students here this
;ar who seem to get a big "kick"
it of "strutting" by a fellow-stu:nt
and not speaking. There are
nie, who, from all appearances,
ink they are too good to speak to
her students, and who seem to
ink that they should not go to a
tie extra effort of saying "howdy"
"hey" as they pass on their way
classes.
Ever since this University was
unded in 1801, there has been
lilt up a tradition that every stunt
should speak to every other |
ident wherever and whenever they
ssed. And not only did this come
be the custom, and the habit that |
is considered a pleasure and a dis
iction, peculiar to Carolina stu- {
nts, but the faculty also took it {
?, and by practice and precept (
iglit the students that it was the I
rrect thing to do at all times,
hen a professor passed a student .
. the campus, there was a mutual 1
eeting given. When student passed r
ident, whether he or she was his 1
>se friend or not, a word of greet*
was given. Why ? Because, he I
cw that he or she was a Carolina 1
ident, and that it was his duty to 1
cak. 11
But sorry to say, during last year, *
d very noticeably this year, there (
s come to be a gradual estrange-1
int of speaking relations among
rtain groups of students, and some
ve apparently taken the attitude
it it is no longer necessary to r
cak. And not only has this come J
out among some students, but cer- 1
n faculty members have lost all x
:lination to say "howdy," and
:m to derive quite a bit of en- 1
anient from this new-fangled (
ncy. In fact, there are two men
particularly high authority on I
is campus who seem to glory in I:
alking by students and not speak-1
g; apparently exercising their I
eat amount of dignity. But in |
ality, are being laughed at, andl
wered in the minds of the students I
far as admiration is concerned. I
Of course, if these persons who I
ive come under the above-men-1
ined groups delight in this prac- I
:e of breaking down one of the
^e-old traditions of Carolina, then
is largely their own concern, alough
it does affect an institution
r which the University of South
irolina has long been noted. Hower,
let them realize one fact, facty
and student-body, that they are
:ing lowered in the estimation of
eir fellow-students and perhaps, if
i occasion should ever present it lf
where they would need some
:lp, some little deed of kindness,
me little expression of good-will,
at it might be lacking.
I f you think that you are better
lan some one else, don't "strut" by
id attempt to exhibit your superrity
by refusing to speak; your
lie worth will show itself in due
me; others will soon find out
liether you deserve such a distinc3ii,
and if so, will give it to you.
DANGER SIGNAL
A large number of Carolina stunts
croSs Sumter street at its inrsection
with Senate street, on
eir way up town. At this point
ere is an unusually large amount
traffic, and at times is very danrous
for the pedestrian who is
ossing.
It is very probable that the Combia
City Council would take
me action towards putting up
affic lights at this point, if the
.ident-body, or some organization
i the campus would make such a
quest, pointing out the danger
at is present. Such is needed; it
mid help both those who ride, and
ose who walk. Let's submit such
request to the City Council. j

FOR EVERYONE
A college newspaper should not
published in the interest of only
few of the students, but rather
ould be edited for the good of
eryone registered at the institu?n.
Nor should just a few have to
ther all the news, and the rest of
e student-body sit back and dend
on the staff to do all the work,
st here has been one of the weak
ints iri The Gamecock during the
st,
Every student should feel that it
, M. . . , . ..* - : .. >
is his or her dutx to turn in to the p5
staff a news item, or to inform some
member of the staff about some ai
happening, which otherwise might J
go unnoticed. No newspaper can ad- J,
vance with only a few contributing a
to its columns. We will not guaran- ^
tee that your article will always be
published, but if it is creditably
written, and is appropriate material
for publication, rest assured that
careful attention will be given to it.

OPEN FORUM
I take my vorpal blade in hand, forsooth
and egad, for purposes professedly
denunciatory. There appeared, in last is
sue's "Open Forum," a cryptically signed
epistle designated to defame the char
acters of three upperclassmen of whom
I am one. That the three in question
were known to the writer is evident, since
he describes the principals thus: "Only
the unprepossessing looks and unsavory
reputations of the . . . etc."
The upperclassmen, says the writer,
liave been guilty of a crime against the
University. Let me suggest that the writ:r,
in his unwarranted and surely un5entlemanly
slandering, has been guilty
)f an offense that may be prosecuted in
:ivil court.
The epistle was unsigned ... an *
ndication of baseness and of an incipi- p?
:nt sense of wrongdoing . . . and a
:ondition under which no "Open Forum" j
etter is supposed to be printed.
My own reputation is without doubt i
msavory, and my visage is nothing to
rave about, but no true Southerner and |
10 well-bred person would make a point "
)f such things. And who in the world g?
vould call the studious, unassuming son
)f Dr. Morse a person of "unsavory
eputation" ?
I am personally callous to defamation,
laving grown tolerant to it from long
subjection thereunto, but Mr. Morse and
Mr. Wood cannot but resent this unlccessary
denegration by some unknown
vhose vituperative tongue reflects more
)ile than brains, and more the desire
o be clever than the desire to be sin:ere.
And for his edification, my name is
