ISthemtdiM Y,. ;,v II | ,N |ijL V" orangeburg? we thank you The hospitality of the people of Orangeburg is exceeded only by their kindness towards Carolina students and friends when they attend the annual football game with The Citadel. The many expressions of their hospitality are truly indicative of their good-will towards Carolina students. The game in Orangeburg has come to be one of the bright spots in every Carolina student's calendar. They like to go to Orangeburg, and if you ask any student he will readily tell you that he would much rather attend the Orangeburg Fair than the State Fair. Why? Because the people of that good town treat Carolina students like they are glad to have them in their midst, and their treatment is undoubtedly prompted by the good-will which they hold for the University. Students are admitted to the fair grounds free of charge, which is just 100% more than the State Fair does for them. Students do not have to pay any additional sum in order to see the football game, they being admitted by their athletic ticket book. And to cap the climax, dinner is served to them free of charge. For these and all other courtesies which are shown to Carolina students, The Gamecock wishes to express appreciation to the Orangeburg Fair officials, and the citizens of that town. It is hoped that the game between 1 he Citadel and Carolina will always be played in Orangeburg, and that the esteem which Carolina students hold for the people of Orangeburg will continue for many moons. Many of the merahants of Orangeburg have advertised in our columns this week, thereby expressing their willingness and desire tc help Carolina. The Gamecock appreciates this support of the merI chants of Orangeburg, i u. s. c. j leave banners j m~ i Each year the people of Orange I burg have a large number of beau tiful banners made out of the Caro I lina and Citadel colors. These ar< I placed all over the town, and adc I greatly to its beauty during fail I week. Each year some of the Carolinj students seem to get a great deal oi I pleasure in taking .these banners and appropriating them for theii I own use. These can be used yeai after year, but if a large numbei are taken each year, it causes ar I added expense on the Orangebun J?.e?P^e' an<^ doubtless lessens theii liking for Carolina. Students should recognize this and refrain from taking any oi these banners, or any other of th< decorations which the people of Or angeburg put up for the attractive I ness of their city on Thursday. color changed Most of the buildings on oui campus are rather uniform, and art I about as good as could be ccpectec at a State University which receive" I s^ch little support from a poorh supported state. However, there is one exception 1 he L,aw School Building, whicl was erected in 1919, after the Legis lature had appropriated $40,000 foi its construction, is sadly out of lin< with the other buildings on th< campus as far as color is concerned Standing in a prominent place or the campus, closely surrounded by I ?J0f??.l'or*es.' other classroon buildings, it is conspicuous by it< difference. It would seem to any well-think [ mg person that all of the building; Jf?ujd be finished in the same color lo have one building so noticeable different from all of those arounc it detracts from the attractivenesof the campus. The designers mus have undoubtedly had some pecu liar notion or desire of their own h trying to ffiake this particular build ing adhere to one of the school'" colors, garnet and black. J If it would be possible by sonn means or other to have this partic ular building finished in the regula uniform color of thfc other edifices ^ e Ve camPus wo?ld be benefit ted.

According to the Dean, the Committee was called for I the express purpose ,of receiving my I petition and passing upon it. The Committee (composed of Doctors Baker, Bradley, Coker, Foster and Penny) unanimously adopted a I resolution to which I take exception on three counts: (1) The resolution failed to take any direct note of my petition, either in allowance or denial, but implicitly (and, it seems to me, discourteously), rejected it by its context. (2) The resolution, apparently disI regarding the object for which the Committee had been called, "reprimanded" me for four times neglecting I to attend Chapel. In other words, it formally reproved me for acts which, under the rule on Chapel "cuts," I had a recognized right to commit. (3) The resolution undertook to I threaten me with indefinite suspension upon my next unexcused absence from i Chapel, although the regulations say I that a student shall be suspended upon I his sixth absence, and I had only four. I The resolution in this particular seems to me to constitute an act of insubordination on the part of the members of the Committee, because both the Civil Code of South Carolina and the University By-Laws of 1912 explicitly deI dare that only the Board of Trustees shall have the power to expel a student ?and indefinite suspension is nothing less than expulsion. Has the sense of the phrase, "right I of petition," become so warped and twisted at the University of South Carolina as to justfy a committee, sitting as a court of appeal to pass upon a petition, in thrusting aside that pe, I tition as worthy of no consideration, . 1 and condemning the petitioner for I action to which he had a well-recogI nized right, and discriminating against Mhim by threatening him with suspen sion if he did that which any student . may do openly without punishment? I write the above for the purpose of making public to the student body, the I faculty, and all others who may be interested in the welfare and good name of the institution, a situation "I which I consider discreditable to the " University of South Carolina. In my ^ I opinion, the matter warrants immedij I ate corrective action being taken. r LaBruce Ward King. October 25, 1930. 3 ^ t l ^ USTSN ' I Orutliad - ** fb??
