Seldom have college papers taken notice of economic problems facing I the business world. This is because, no doubt, of the general belief that such things are temporary, and will be non-existent before the student's graduation. ^ Today peddlers are coming into Columbia every week, attempting to wring every red penny from stuI dents that they can with as little exchange as possible. With their tale I that "I save you the overhead charge," these fly-by-night "busiI ness" men wax prosperous. The merchants' overhead charge includes state, county, and city taxes, I and salaries of salesmen and office I assistants, besides donations to welfare movements. Much of this money returns to the University in the anI nual appropriation of over half a million dollars. Too, students receive much of this by working odd hours at various business firms. Civic welfare movements and charitable institutions would fail were it not for the generosity of the merchants who wish to see their townspeople progress as they progress. However, such progress will be retarded until every person, whether I student or not, realizes the menace of fly-by-night peddlers of questionable merchandise. We students here at the University could do much to eliminate this problem. By taking a silent oath to support those who give as they take, we shall then have rid Columbia of peddlers of so-called tailored suits, fine jewelry, and other merchandise. ' When the students show the merchants that they are really behind their program to ostracize illegitimate and unscrupulous competition, theii the University will get even more support/from these men. . V. 8. C. SUGGEST A 'NAMESEND IT IN An editorial appeared on this page two weeks ago advocating that the I Women s Building be given a name. There has been considerable comI ment pro and con, and several names have been suggested. The Gamecock feels that this building on our campus should be designated by a spcci.il name, and will attempt to gather suggestions. If you have a suggestion, write it out and send it in addressed to the Editor of Tin? Gamecock. i I he following lias been received from a member of the faculty : Editor, The Gamecock : Apropos your editorial advocat. mg a name for the Women's Build1 mg, why not DILLARD HALLS Surely a gracious means of exprest sing appreciation of one who has the welfare of the co-eds very much at heart and who has done much to improve the conditions under which the girls work." We appreciate this suggestion, but would suggest that it be changed tc DILLARD v COLLEGE instead j Miss Dillard is the first Dean of i women here, and to name this dormi5 tory for her would be quite fitting. u. s. c. ; UNFAIR CRITICISM j Some few days ago we receivec a letter from Mr. Frank Garrison a graduate of the class of '28 whe _ is now living in Los Angeles,'Cali forma. He enclosed a clipping fron i ,. 7?s -Angeles Evening Express which severely criticizes the Athleti< < authorities of Carolina and Clemsor ; f?r wanting to prohibit a play-by ' PIay report of the game being given Below is the clipping: Pacific Coast Universities took th< I 1929 Carnegie foundation investiga tion into football very seriously. Thej ' havc made revisions here and there it r their code. j "Down in the South they think little of good judgment or of the foundatioi either. The South Carolina and Clem son athletic authorities have voted t< bar the press from writing stories o their coming game because it migh tend to cut down their gate receipts. When football reaches such a sordic stage of rank commercialism it is tim< to call a halt somewhere. ' "Tfie Southern schools fear some fanr wdl stay home and read the game it > the paper instead of fork up to see th< 1 boys play. "If that isn't playing football for the money that s in it, we've never seen a > more open hand. "Schools associating with the two ,| involved in this deal could <fc worse than split relationship over such an athletic platform. "Perhaps South Carolina and Clemson intend to carter their program still ; farther and prohibit every spectator from saying a wopd orally to his neighbor after the game. . "The news must be suppressed at all i costs. They want you to pay for athletics there." It is our understanding that this is based upon unfair and unwarranted statements. The athletic authorities did not want to prohibit the newspapers from giving reports of the game, but it, did want to prohibit the game being broadcasted over the radio, for if such announcement had ; been made, no doubt many people ' would have stayed home, and not ! have attended the game. And where would the funds for financing foot- j ball come from? Yes, where? u. s. c. OPEN FORUM I mm Editor, The Gamecock: This letter is in no way meant to be an answer to the editorial concerning The Carolinian in the last issue of The 'Gamecock, for I heartily agree with | most of the statements in that article Li and I appreciate its writer's appeal for more literary work by Carolina students. However, I do wish to correct any impression that the editorial may have given that the Board of Publications has been negligent in not electing a ! complete staff sooner. The Board of K Publications does not elect anyone to ! the staff of The Carolinian until the i editor has appeared before it to make' his recommendations and if there is any fault in the fact that this year's staff has not yet been completed, the fault lies with myself. I will also add that the number of is- j sues of The Carolinian this year has been ; reduced to three each term, with an increase in the number of pages per i issue. Since there are .approximately five months in the first term of our j school year, there is no cause for alarm on the part of The Gamecock that The j I Carolinian is not appearing every month. i Robert Wauchope.
