FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1931 HH That Citadel Spirit Many people often have praised the spirit shown at the Citadel and other military schools. If the spirit they showed at the Orangeburg fair is a sample of it, we pray that the University will never become Militaristic. Before the annual game, groups of cadets strutted around the midI way trying to steal Carolina freshmen caps and seemingly trying to Ump pick fights. It is alleged that nine cadets jumped on one freshman and took his cap, whereupon the freshman walloped all nine of the cadets, put them to flight and regained his cap. Another fight, which we happened to see, occurred when a large body of cadets jumped on another Carolina freshman and stole his cap. Several Carolina men rushed to his rescue and also many of the cadets corps advanced to help out their comrades in cap warfare. A free for all ensued which policemen stopped with difficulty. Is this the kind of spirit that is taught at the Citadel? We thought they were taughtkto be soldiers and brave soldiers do not strut around in large groups trying to steal caps. It is very easy for Carolina men to steal Citadel headgear, which costs over twice as much as the Carolina rat caps, but if they bring them back to the Carolina campus, they are looked upon as thieves and not as heroes. We wonder if medals for bravery were given cadets who stole freshmen caps last Thursday? Were those brave soldiers, upholding "that Citadel Spirit," awarded medals for extreme valor because they jumped on that "Carolina rat"? Perhaps those sport writers who so glowingly praised the Citadel cadets for their wonderful spirit shown Thursday did not visit the midway previous to the game. Perhaps they did not note the organized cheering of the cadets when Carolina suffered penalties. May we inform those sports writers that it is considered bad sportsmanship for students to cheer when the opposing team suffers a penalty. We feel that the Carolina student body can justly demand an apology from the Citadel cadet corps for their actions manifested at the Orangeburg fair. Upon further thought, we feel that the Carolina-Citadel games should be a thing of the past and that Carolina should play larger schools where fairness and good sportsmanship are upheld. Echoes Of The Clemson G-ame "We wholeheartedly congratulate Carolina on her victory over us; w? thought all the time that the honest Gamecock would eventually win a game without the use of trick sidelines which they employed three years ago?to no avail. "Crow, little Bantam, crow! Next year you're gonna be picked so clean that you'll think that you've been run through a vacuum cleaner backwards," says the Clemson journalistic excuse, The Tiger. It's mighty early for the embryonic tiger journalist to predict a victory for the inhabitants of jtmgleland especially when their "Muchheralded" cubs were severely trounced by the the Carolina freshman the day before the varsity slaughter. All appearances indicate that the Gamecocks will feast on tiger steak for many years in the future. Another item for reflection?we can win games and look like we are at least used to it. | The Chemical War of '32 "Twelve Lewisite gas bombs thrown from an airplane over Berlin or Chicago, would utterly destroy every living organism in that territory 1" "In 1924 the United States was making gas masks at the rate of 2,000 per day 1" "The cost of the war of 1918 to European countries alone amounted to $20,000 per hour for every hour since the death of Christ." Thus Emil Ludwig in the Saturday Evening Post shows why we are already late in preparing ourselves to stave off the next yar. While the World Disarmament Conference placed limitations on such fighting equipment as ships, planes, and submarines, it delicately avoided mention of any limitation on the production of chemicals. We shall be polite and call it an oversight, but could not- this' conference see what many others saw; that the next war was to be a battle of chemicals ? ' v , The aged father cringing in a cellar, the infant in the cradle, the invalid already half dead in some hospital, all will be open to the attack of enemy planes loaded with deadly chemicals travelling at the rate of 300 miles per hour. A gas has been made in the United States, according to Mr. Ludwig, which will cling to the soles of one's shoes, and when carried into the home will attack the tender skin oi the infant, literally eating it up. The gas mask? What chance would it stand against a gas which is not checked by any material which could be used for a mask ? A gas has actually been compounded which forces the wearer to throw off his mask, and then the other element in the gas suffocates him, finally causing him to die in convulsions. Students, are you to sit by idly while your very soul is trafficed? Investigate the conditions which are existing just below the shell of peace?a peace which will end in pieces if the present trend continues. In Memoriam Of The Edisto City The Carolina-Citadel day in Orangeburg has passed. ?With its going has arrived a memory in the minds of the Carolina student body that will linger long after academic life has become a matter of the past. To the senior this last enjoyment of the hospitality of the people of the Edisto City carried with it that same emotion that every four-year man experiences when he realftes that another facet of his college life has shone and become dim. To this student goes sad memories as he realizes that never again will he participate as freely in the atmosphere that surrounded him last Thursday. If he should return next year, there will be a certain quality lacking, a quality which will never be attainable as an alumnus. The freshman has now become oriented to the meaning of Orangeburg generosity. His exclamations of surprise and enjoyment vouched for that throughout the Carolina-Citadel day. With eyes aglow, the new man seemed unable to restrain himself as he ranted up and down the midway of the fair, meeting classmates on all sides, who, like himself, were testing out further sources of entertainment and pleasure. With the prospect of three similar annual treats ahead of him, the first-year man had not the sadness of the four-year man in his heart. Many loyal alumni were at the football game that afternoon. But none were more loyal than W. L. Glover and Jerry Hughes, president and secretary respectively of the Orangeburg County Fair Association. The success that they have accomplished in staging repeated Carolina- j Citadel days has evidenced nqt only their reputation as efficient busiicss men but their loyalty to Carolina students-as well. To the men in the student body who have had the pleasure of meeting these two nen, the dinner given Carolina students in Orangeburg is more of a Glover-Hughes banquet in their honor. The seniors of the Carolina student body bow stubbornly to Father rime as he rings down the curtain on the last Carolina-Citadel days of their student career. J The underclassmen applaud vociferously for have they not enjoyed the event? Godspeed its successor in the coming year! We II/iil Thee, Fair Edisto City! IT. H. O. I Welcome Alumni Many of Carolina's former graduates will return to the campus tomorrow to visit old familiar Scenes of their college life, to attend the literary society celebration, and to be present for the annual homecoming day. Many old hearts will be glad and beat faster as they once again feel that "Old Carolina Spirit" surging within them. To these men The Gamecock, in behalf of the student body, extend; lie heartiest welcome. May you enjoy every minute of your stay back lome. v A modern college is made up of three parts, students, faculty, am' j lumni. These three departments must work hard and work in liar nony if the University of South Carolina is to ascend the place that t should occupy in the educational institutions of the nation. In the past the alumni have been somewhat negligent of their dut) o their Alma Mater. They seemed to think that when they received heir degree or otherwise, their tie with the University was broken uich an attitude as this has been the greatest detriment to welfare of he University. When Carolina alumni, members of the legislature lght the institution from which they were graduated, it is logical to uppose that graduates from denominational colleges will do the same. The alumni association has been the one great force attempting tc 'ombat this practice by bringing all former graduates into closer contact with the University. At present there are only about 300 active uembers of the association. There should be at least 5,000. It is the earnest appeal of The Gamecock that you active members get in behind those delinquents and get them to join the alumni association and then a great benefit will be felt at the University. ^ ' Again in welcoming you to the campus, we wish you an enjoyable day here and we hope that your interest in the alumni association and in the University of South Carolina will be greatly strengthened. , ' ' \ 1 When Words Fail You ] I j j When "different" sounds inadequate?
