Student Activity Building?This is the only way by which student activities can be properly centered and administrated. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1933 Gatecrashing Is Racketeering Just as the United States government has declared war on lawlessness and racketeering in this country, the authorities of the University and of Columbia high school have planned a campaign against the prevalence of gatecrashing at the college and high school football games played in Columbia. Just as the activities of the government against j the gangsters will be emasculated by a lack of assistance, or even half-hearted assistance, of the citizens, so will the work of administrative officials fall on barron ground without the active support of the students of the high school and University. And just as the widespread epidemic of kidnapping brought home to the nation the need of immediate action against the growing underworld, so has the prodigious growth of gatecrashing prompted officials of both athletic associations to take decisive steps. The officials have made fair propositions to those who want to see the football games. University students wishing to attend the high school contests played on Melton field will be admitted at a much reduced price. The same thing applied to high school students wishing to attend the University games. These steps will do much to irradicate the evil?* the rest can be done by the students. It is not brave, nor smart, nor amusing to sneak through a crack or over or above the fence like a criminal fleeing from justice. If those who make a practice of gatecrashing are shown that the student bodies feel this way about it, then it will stop. p. a. c. We realize that there are many arguments against pologamy, but a man with three wives would have little trouble getting up a bridge game. U. fle O. A former managing editor of The Gamecock printed this one in the paper on which he is now working. There was another absent minded professor who killed himself and then shot his wife in remorse. One of the pseudo-geniuses of the campus has said?"If they had made the '100 per cent U. S. C. supporter' tags more like Phi Beta Kappa keys, they would have sold faster." U. 8. O. Why Not Platforms? There is some indication that the coming race for the social cabinet will be based on real issues and not on personalities alone?as has been too often the case in former political contests on the campus. The students voting for these important offices have a right to know what plans the candidates have to put into force if they are elected, and what their views are on questions pertinent to the duties of the social cabinet. An open meeting of the students at which all candidates frankly laid their platforms before the voters, as is the custom in state and national politics, would be a needed improvement on the Carolina campus. The Gamecock is supporting no candidate for the social cabinet, but The Gamecock is in favor of the race being run on definite platforms, so that voting may be intelligent. , ' . * k; * v.; .* ??? The Monocle ' . By James M. Black " _ . It is noted with regret by this column that Nancy Philips, annual ornament, and leading member of the Triple Delts, will not be among the lads and lassies this year but will pursue her work ^ in New York. This will be a severe blow to the i< society contigent at the University. However the ? depression has taught us to bear up under the bit- c terest blows and face even the greatest catastro- o phies with equinimity and fortitude. You may ? remember that she and Johnny Scott were on the ti uptake last year. * Touching lightly on Johnny Scott, prominent on this campus for the last six years and member fj of the Blue Key (leaders?to you) fraternity, we ^ regret to say that this year he finishes his college u days forever. Johnny was a boxer of some repute sl and was noted primarily for his footwork. There is an interesting story told of Johnny pugilistic activities. It seems that during the Southern Conference boxing chjam^)ionship an enterprising photographer snapped a picture of Tommy Scott (no relation) standing triumphantly over the prostrate form of his opponent. This appealed to the Tarzan in Johnny so he asked the pitcher snatcher to take one of him in the same position. The photog. agreed but the battler who opposed Scott had evidently not read his press clippings for R when the picture came out who should be lying si in the recumbant pose but the "Florence Wildcat." * All of us make mistakes now and then. ; L 11< Joe McCallum, who has been at the Veteran's n Hospital this summer has recuperated. He says it was his kidney. You wouldn't kidney me would you, Mister? Joe is one of the better Alpha Betas. Bunny Rabbits Have Long Ears An orchid to the jovial bunny Who's disposition's always sunny He frisks and frolics all the day An ne\^r worries come what may. Gamboling blithely here and there He hasn't got a single care, Except when dogs who have a habit ? Of madly chasing Mr. Rabbit Pursue him with a bark and whoop g. Why then the hare is in the soup S( Unless he can elude the hound tl And quickly scuttle underground. h This timid rodent lacks the strength ^ To fight his enemies at length sj Why this is true I do not know i, The rabbit simply failed to grow. a At any rate it's my deduction tl His strength is spent on reproduction. b James McKelvy, latest Bohemian menace and literary lug, turned out to be somewhat of a dull thud this year. You may remember when he first appeared at the University sporting a head of hair that would have made Samson writhe with envy. ?? F James is known to some of the local wags as "It." The trouble with McKelvy. is no one seems to know <. just what field of literature he is invading. He \ has never been known to publish anything locally ^ and no one has seen his name emblazoned on the cover of any of our leading national publications. Perhaps he is hiding his candle under a bushel or whatever people hid candles under. Speaking of candles, it is told of one of our .recent graduates, who was known for his activity in protesting against prohibition, that when he asked his doctor what was wrong with him, the pill peddler replied. "Boy, you didn't light your candle at both ends. You cut it in half afid lit up all four." My love is like a butterfly, She flits hither and yon The only thing I say for her, h She doesn't give a darn. I ?Casanova. IV ________ t f Johnny Giles, one of the boys who made good a in the fourth estate at Carolina, is now active on 1 one of the dailies in Greenville. r Kent Ewing, who didn't make Goodwyn, is now 0 in California giving the girls by the Golden Gate a the benefit of his idle chatter. c "Well, clothes make the man," said the flapper J as she bought a new dress. li Irving Giesberg, one of our better artists, is I something of a wit. Irving was going out with r a friend of his to dinner at the hotel. The friend arrived wearing a particularly wrinkled suit. "I'm sorry," he said, "this is the only suit I had to wear. You see all my clothes were out." "Yeah," cracked Irving, "all my clothes wore out too." Carolina To-day RECOGNITION AT LA8T After all these years virtue is triimphant. The popularity of the Phi Jeta Kappas is on the wane. There 3 now an end of all that snowstorm >f publicity which almost made us orget that a University is a football enter and caused the public to think f it only as an institution of learning. it least the self-assured Phi Beta has ad to take a back seat in the admiraion of the public. And who has been levated to his station? . None other iian the shrinking violet* the modest )otball player who for so long was orn to 'blush unseen. What are the icts to back up these statements? Veil, Tuesday the Student Body took p a collection to feed those poor ndernourished pursuers of the pigkin. BACK TO THE FARM Rumor hath it that one of the University's most highly touted literary lasses will tomorrow desert the heights of Olympus for the wilds of matrimony. She will cast aside the pen for the more material delights of the life of a farmer's better half. This column extends to her its best wishes for the future. NEW RACKET The Columbia Daybook in The ecord announces that two young male :udents of the University have opened. two-man gigolo agency. It states bat these gentlemen will for expense, scort any young lady anywhere.' At :ast, it's new racket and beats selling lagazine subscriptions. SUSPECTED ALL THE TIME A recent article states that during the war between the States Fur man University was threatened with being brought to Columbia and thrown in the local hoose-gow for non-payment of taxes. Those old fellows had more judgment than-we give them credit for. WHAT IS HOME? When it comes to this business of istalling house mothers in praccally every one of the local lodges, :ie faculty committee failed to conider the arguments against it as preented by the works of none other lan the lady whom the world has onored with the title of "The Tenth luse." The lady in question, Anne tradstreet, no doubt had the present ituation in mind when she penned the nmortal line: "Let Greeks be Greeks nd women what they are." What ley are in fraternity houses need not e elaborated upon at this time. SEQUEL TO ABOVE According to a new University ruling, several very respectable ladies have recently become "mothers" without benefit of Winchell. OR LITERARY LIGHTS, ONLY Euclid alone," says Miss Millay, Has looked on beauty bare." ret at the beach I've seen some things Vould make old Euclid stare. FUN FOR THE FROGS It all depends on the point of view. The other morning several of the husky Gamecock team staggered into Dr. Schayers hygene class groaning and stiff from a strenuous work-out the afternoon before. During the course of the lecture Dr. Schayer's voice drowned out their moans of pain and the creaking of their sore joints long enough to inform them that football was merely a form of day-dreaming. A REAL SISTERHOOD Three sets of sisters in one sorority ouse?and the top is still on! The Zeta House harbors the Mc)earmon sisters, the Horton and the Cornwall duets. The blonde Horton sisters, Aleen nd Betty are from Union, S. C. Aleen lorton is a senior this year, Betty, sophomore and helps lead the cheers. Elizabeth, eldest of the Cornwall duo i Chester is a senior and president i the Zetas. Her sister, Margaret is sophomore and a member of the lirls Glee club.

Elliott, a member of the fc committee, asked to be excused, due to the fact that she is a member of Alpha tr Delta Pi. It is understood that this ^ principle will be maintained throughout and faculty members will not sit in "j judgment on fraternities or sororities ti< to which they belong. th Those present and participating in the meeting were Professors Babcock, Bjall, Bradley, Sumwalt, Registrar Chase, and sa Doctor Foster, chairman. re At a previous meeting of the commit- c' tee held September 29 the committee de- ^ cided on initiation changes.

Monday he inarmed the American Legion that the ' I >untry is definitely tired o? "dollar pa- I iotism" and will no longer tolerate le flagrant disregard for the good of le country that has so long charactered the demands of the veterans. This patriotic and non-political" organizaon may resent this outspoken stand but ie country as a whole will applaude. v Walter Duranty in an article last eek in the New York Times Magazine iid that Russia has been greatly mispresented in the world press. He aims that writers have played up either ie dark side or the bright side but none > far have told all sides of the ques>n. The Russians themselves make the assic remark that no statement made ?ut Russia is correct; Russia is too ist for that. It seems that the very nations that aim to be unable to pay their American ar debts are the ones that obstruct ery effort to reduce the greatest array i armaments that the world has ever 'own. They seem also to have no dif:ulty in making tremendous loans to solvent political allies. In answer to the cries for currency inttion the administration has decreed that hat the country needs-^is not currency flation but credit inflation. It is >inted out that the real business of the iuntry is carried on by credit. Few x>ple realize that there is more curncy in circulation today than there was the boom times of '28. In the realm of baseball this year's forld scries sees two teams, ranked by 1 the pre-season dopsters as being in e second rank in their respective agues, fighting it out for the championlip. Most of the credit for the outanding success of these two teams ust be given to the respective manners, Joe Cronin of the Senators and ill Terry of the Giants. These soilled "boy-managers" had what it takes | produce championship teams, the abil- | y to get their men to do not only their :st but a little better than their best. i horse racing there is an old saying at it is not the horse that runs his $ :st that wins the race but the horse that | ms ' his best until he comes to the u raightaway and then runs a little bet- | r than his best. Americans have difficulty in conceiv- S g of the fanatical devotion to Hitler j lown by the German people. Anglo- I axon civilization is based upon a gov- ? 2 nment whose purpose is t& protect the ghts and property of the individual, f eutonic political philosophy is based x>n the subjugation of the individual 1 the good of the state as a whole. With the repeal of* the eighteenth nendment in view, attention is now bcg turned to the control of the liquor affic. It is hoped that we will again e the return of true temperance cduition. Only by education can real tem:rance be obtained. Temperance is a lestion of personal self-control, not leglation. And still the cry for government aid >r the farmer goes out through the land he farmer will have to realize that merica is an organized nation and only irough organization and cooperation in any group expect to get anything >ne. Farm organization must come 'om the inside, not from outside sources. Witness the accomplishments of organed labor in lifting the wage earner 6m a position of economic serfdom to is present position. Seldom has the whole nation ever be>re had such interest in a municipal j ection as has been evidenced in the ayorality race in New York City this ;ar. With the entrance of ex-Mayor j IcKee into the race the fight has be>me doubly complicated and political ob;rvers are loath to predict the outcome, [owever, it will be difficult for two indidates, even with an aroused cit- * enry behind them, to shake off the inlbus of Tammany Hall. It is generlly conceded that one opponent can on ccasions beat the Tammany machine ut with a split opposition, Tammany * lands a much better chance of coming i ut on top. Even with the powerful | ersonal backing of President Roosevelt i long with the promise of federal pa- J onage McKee will lose many votes to I 'if ie independent Republican LaGuardia 3? rid hit fusionist followers. It was 1 ather bad judgment on McKee's part to f efuse the fusionist nomination several I lonths ago and then to enter the race n n the Democratic platform. The whole | bject of the fight this year is to beat I 'ammany, not to foster the fortunes of I ne particular party or the other.
