Extend t them your courtesies, and remembe that the cadets are your guestf Friendly rivalry has existed betweei these two institutions and thei student bodies for many years. Thei annual clash on the gridiron has be come the outstanding" game and th most colorful event of such a natur in the state. Carolina students al ways look forward to the visit o their rivals, and will this year en joy their coming.

Such is a good e tradition if it is needed, but in the ; r beginning, may we ask why should i this be necessary? Why shouldn't ( s strict rules be applied to the enforce- j a ment of this custom? :1 Every student who registers at , s the University of South Carolina t 0 for the first time, and who has the i t j rating of a freshman should feel it 1 0 an honor to wear the "rat" cap. The J 1 cap lends a mark of distinction; it , - advertises one as being a member of f a certain class which has an advan- i c tage over the other classes, in that 1 ^ they are not distinguished in such a * manner. "Rat" caps also advertise < the school, and the ones that are t used here are neat looking, and quite r attractive. j Wearing a "rat" cap is not a sign ( of inferiority, nor is it an exhibi- * ^ tion on the part of the freshman that A r he is afraid of upperclassmen. How- i - ever, for the above reasons, or for 1 e one that is not known to the writer, ' e many freshmen this year have cast J aside their caps, or perhaps, have J II never bought one, and are "strutting" 1 e around, proudly defying custom and ? tradition. It has been a practice here 1 e for many years that every freshman 1 e should wear the regulation cap ' 0 which is prescribed for him. Now, i r if some of the "rats" in this year's , > crop think themselves so much bet11 ter than former classes, and deserv- ( r ing some special privilege, then it * r is full time for all upperclassmen - to step in, and show who has the { e "say-so"?time to have a little talk . c with those dignified, individualistic, - and apparently distinctive group of 1 f students, commonly called "rdts." 1 And may we offer a lone sugges- I tion ? All freshmen please get a cap j - if you haven't one; wear it next . - week, and throughout the year; for ' t, if you don't, there will likely be a 1 1 little trouble in store for you. Wear * your cap without further urging/ ( I .... 4 : FRATERNAUSM Various commenters on the subject havev often remarked that the relations between the fraternities at Carolina are probably much better jhan is the case at most universities. For this the fraternities, all represented on the Pan-Hellenic Council, ire to be congratulated. I he Pan-Hellenic has taken steps towards keeping this friendship between its several members 011 the >ame plane, but little if anything is beingr done to insure that relations between fraternity and non-fraternity men remain on the same high level as is now the case. Recently the Pan-Hellenic gave 1 dance for all fraternity men in lionor of the new pledges and the .ouncil probably intends to give one 3r more each year. Very praiseworthy, surely. But would it not be -ven more meritorious to give, in iddition, one or more dances a year 0 which all students were invited ? counc'l wished to give such in affair, it would probably be in a >osition to finance it. However, if uch was impossible, what would be he objection to giving it and chargng a very small admission fee say dollar at the most ? There are very ew of the dancing fraternity or* ion-fraternity men who would not e glad to pay such a sum for an utstanding collegiate dance. i \ beat clemson ! WHAT ABOUT THE JANITORS? We often wonder what the jani>rs of the University are getting aid for. Generally they get around 3 the student's rooms about noon we are referring to the janitor of aitledge in particular). When they ' et there they give the floor a few cattered sweeps with the broomlie floors would look.better if they /ere not touched at all. But the eds ! We wish that the officials of lie University had to sleep in them tter the janitor pretends to have iiade them up. They never smooth he covering or tuck it in at the foot Ve must admit that we like to sleep n well-made-up beds. beat clemson i WATCH THE FIRES For several years it has been the >ractice to have big bonfires built it the entrances to the campus on he night before the Clemson game, -ast year some of the freshmen yho were supposed to watch the ires did not appear at their appointed tunes during the night and e leve the others who were already >n duty. This caused srime to have to stay at their posts longer than their illoted time. t 1 he purpose of having these fires ind having freshmen watch them ill night is to keep outsiders off the :ampus that night, so that the football team will not be disturbed by iny undue noise. If this is the purpose, then the entrances should be efficiently guarded, and the freshnen made to report at the hour they ire assigned. Unless the whole business can be put on an organized >asis. and upperclassmen assigned o see that the rule is enforced it would be better to do away with the ires Let us have a campus that is ea ly guarded, or else throw it open md not try to put up a half way juard, and make a sham out of it. beat clemson i 'UNIVERSITY HOUR" According to the news columns >f the last issue of The Gamecock, he Carolina hour over Station WIS was devoted mostly to the musical ifforts of Columbians. The program was opened by a short talk by Dr. Murchison and the singing of the Mma Mater. The rest of the program was given over to various people of local talent. The appearance of outsiders on a urogram supposed to be one of the University, seems hardly logical, lalent from the University has proven that it has the quality and lumbers to take up one hour a week }ver the radio and give a very creditible showing. The musicians of the University ire well known to be of a good imateur standard; there ,are still nany sources of talent that remain intouched. The debating team, the i iterary societies, the glee club, fraternities, and many other organisations can furnish sufficient talent to guarantee that the University lour will really be representative of -arolina. ' ... / * ... ? FAIR OR NOT? ? Last year the faculty decided that all classes must be dismissed immediately when the bell rings. Professors are required to mark students late if they enter the classroom after the five-minute interval after the ringing of the belt But how can any mortal creatur^ reach a class in time if he is kept in his'preceding class several minutes after the bell has rung, as some' of the professors or instructors are now doing. We hope that the offenders shall take cognizance of this fact and dismiss their classes immediately as the bell sounds. We have also heard that several professors mark students absent if tbey arrive even ten minutes late. Ho\v can a student be absent if he attends the class, we ask you? Not only this but certain of them lock the floors of their classrooms after the bell has been rung ten minutes to be certain that they can mark the student absent by not letting them enter. Is this fair to the student ? BEAT CLEMSONl A TRIUMPH \ ' Just after vthe opening of their second season, the Palmetto Players, the foremost college dramatic organization of the state, can look back i upon a year of success. In the course j of that year, the club has taken its place along with the North Carolina Playmakers, and the best that the country cai; offer. Starting from almost nothing, the organization i now has a large trained personnel, a i national reputation, and has con- I tributed to the developing of a better dramatic art throughout the state. Professor William Dean, the director, with the assistance of Mrs. Dean and a capable staff, has built up an organization of which the University can well be proud. With the presentation of three plays last year, two of which went on the road, the state at large was madfe familiar with the work that is being done. But perhaps even more to the credit of the Players than their own accomplishments is the fact that c upon request they have furnished dramatic aid to school and municipal organizations throughout the state. In addition, men and women have ben trained who are now directors at various schools and colleges. A big program has been planned for tbe coming year. Much has been accomplished, but much still remains to be done. With the proper support from the University and the City of Columbia, the Palmetto Players will undoubtedly rise to new heights of ' service.
