Student Activity Building?This is the only way by which student activities can be properly centered and administrated. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1933 Reduction Accomplished The additional fee for students going to the Carolina-Clemson game has been reduced to 44 cents?that is a real accomplishment. The officials of the University and the- athletic association have shown that they have the good of the student at heart. The reduction comes after long and vociferous protest from the students. Many will recall the unruly meeting in the chapel last year, a meeting featured by free indulgence in personalities and unfair charges against the faculty. Held on the eve of the annual classic it succeeded only in creating a feeling of bitterness among the students and in bringing notoriety to the instigators. The Gamecock believes that the fee should be done away with entirely, but it also believes that the task of doing it should be left to the members of the faculty and the athletic association. Students have long known that the additional charge tn flio nrnmo wno lirmmrlif nlmnt l\ir > <i.i<< v" ~* " b""*" """ ?uu?i/ ?,) (l iiiimjjn: of interests?Carolina, Clemson and the state fair association. In order to reduce the fee an agreement had to be reached between these interests. This the officials of the University have succeeded in doing after long negotiations. If the students will refrain from criticism and useless bombast they may be assured that the of ficials will continue their fight to have the fee abolished. U. 8. C. (NSFA)?Beer and football shall not mix is the decree of the University of Minnesota. The administration showed this attitude in refusing to sanction- radio broadcasts of University football games if sponsored by brewery concerns. ?Ilaverford News. u. s. o. Our Advertisers Working with reduced appropriation and with increased cost for printing, the business department of The Gamecock is struggling valiantly to make ends meet so that it will be possible to produce the maximum number of issues for the students this year. This is possible only by advertising. Advertisers only buy space when they find that the money spent brings in returns. Advertising in TJie Gamecock can only be successful when the students patronize the advertisers. It is the same cry of old, "patronize our advertisers," but this year more than ever it should be heeded, so that the business men of Columbia can see that space bought in the college publications brings them fair returns on their money. V. 8. O. (NSFA)?Approximately 2,375 coca-colas of ,i:*r i. /i - i i > " " uuiereiii/ imvojra arc soia aoout the Indiana University campus daily. The greatest number of calls are for "plain cokes," with "lemon" a close second. Two thousand, three hundred and seventy-five fivecent drinks mean that $118.75 is spent on "cokes" each day.?Yellow Jacket Weekly. An Important Minor Need There is an army of things that the University and the students of the University need, but most of them are unattainable?for tho present at least. Here, however, is a Student Body need, which is urgent and which presents no great obstacle. There should be two or more lockable metal ballot boxes, belonging to the Student Body and used by the students in all elections. The rag-tag system of a slit-topped paste board box is much too hap-haisard for efficiency. ?>X .V . .1. m Peace And The Student "Nations talk of peace and prepare for war!" An epigramatic statement, perhaps, but true nevertheless. Associations, societies, the pulpit artist?all join in proclaiming war an outcast. They have an honest conception of the horrors of war, of the wastefulness and the terrible injustice; and honestly they strive to promote peace. But all over the world nations stir in unrest. Revolutions are an overnight fracas, and the ordinary channels of life are muddied by the spread of political propaganda. Governments are overthrown, millions of laborers mill in the streets of cities, clinging to, exalting the chaff of promises made by militant, unruly groups. Therein lies the danger and the inevitability of war. Factors and influences lying beyond the plane of mere word pictures, of idealistic pictures, demand consideration, demand remedy. Japan encroaches upon China and millions cry out in protest. But Japan with its overflowing millions must find room in which to live. The economic problem is there and they solve it in the most convenient way. The same condition exists in Germany, in other nations. The problems of trade, of commerce, of life itself thwart the honest attempts at abolishing war, the apparent remedy for these ills. The college student as the thinker, the citizen, the future leader must do his part in helping to solve these problems. The Utopia of peace is adjustment to all the factors affecting human life. Peace will come when that adjustment is so complete as to establish a uniform comradeship of nations and of people. "Nations talk of peace and prepare for war!" p. a. c. (NSFA)?Senor Alfredo Barrera Vasquez, native of Yucatan and a direct descendant of the ancient Mayans has joined the staff of the Middle American Research Department at Tulane University, which for some years now has delved into the lore and culture of his ancestors. Senor Barrera Vasquez, who comes to the Tulane department from the University of Mexico, where he was a professor of Mayan language, spoke the tongue of this ancient people long before he learned any other language.?Tulane Hullabaloo. V. 8. O. (NSFA)?A report by Herbert Taylor, chairman of the bad check committee, revealed that a total of 805 checks were returned on students last year. The total amount involved was $0,422.29. ?North Carolina Tar Heel. The Monocle By James M. Black A certain prominent Carolina student was walking down Alain Street with ? frionrl nf liJe ah the bootblacks noticing the drabness of his shoes, shouted "Shine?" as he passed. "Doggone," he said, "even the bootblacks know me." It is being bruited about that one of last year's co-eds is going to commit matrimony with a torso mechanic. (Doctor to you.) At the recent Social Cabinet election one of the local wags walked up to King Keyserling and inquired if Adolf Hitler's name was on the list. After thumbing thru several pages the Monarch looked up and said "I don't know. Willard has the II's."

Did you know that James Garner is still vicepresident of this country ? t , Topics The world disarmament conference opens at Geneva this month with apparent failure staring it in the face. It looks as though the world is headed for another armaments race which must eventually end in another debacle in which the whole of- western civilization will be imperiled. Disarmament can only come about when the manufacture of munitions is nationalized. As long as the powerful armament trusts are allowed to wax fat on wars and to maintain powerful lobbies and publicity agencies during the time of peace, there can never be any assurance of permanent peace. The past three years have seen a tremendous rise in the power of facsism throughout the world. The defeatist doctrine that dictatorship is better than democracy flourishes in times when economic conditions make many feel that any change must be for the better. i\ strong seimmcni is arising in mis country for the recognition of Russia. For the past fifteen years the United States has refused to recognize a government that has ruled 160 million people. Whether we approve of their doctrines or not by saying that, officially, there is 110 responsible government in Russia we put ourselves in the position of the man who, after gazing intently at the hippopotomus for several minutOJ, turned to his friend and said, "There ain't 110 such animal 1" Hugh Johnson and his N. R. A. administration arc preparing to make a crutial test of the whole program and have ordered a mid-western restaurant proprietor to take down his sign of the blue eagle. Employers are going to find that they will not be able to get the advantages of that beneficient bird without assuming the obligations lie imposes. Informality rules in the White House, we understand, and F. D. R. knows all tllP hniicplinlrl Iw thoir fircf nomoc Tim President has been able lo get far by this habit of informality and has even carried it into the Congress. Many a congressman and senator is happy when the people back home know that the President calls him "Bill" or "George." Recently a forest fire in the sunny state of California cut short the lives of over 40 men who were trapped in a narrow valley while fighting it. Investigation showed that the fire was caused by the careless dropping of a cigarette. The risk involved in carelessness is too great. An upstate sheriff is changed with leaving the local jail open so that several white men conld remove a negro against whom they had a grudge. The negro died as a result of the beating that he received. Is it any wonder that South Carolina is sometimes called the most lawless state in the Union? The first step toward making this a respectiible state in the eyes of the law is to declare that there shall no longer be two sets of laws but one common justice for all citizens, white or black. The stock market has been dull recently. People have been too busy to think about gambling and too poor to try it if they thought about it. Incidentally, the Federal government is considering rigid regulation of the market. The stock market has no positive significance but the psychological effect of a falling market can have an extremely destructive effect. Gambling with the economic stability ot the nation at stake is too dangerous a pastime to go unchallenged. In the Urshal case the government has obtained its first conviction under the so-called "Lindburg" kidnapping law. The conviction was no doubt just but we .1~_1 \ * v.aiuiui uui ucpiure mis new mam testation of the increasing incroachment on the police powers by the Federal government. If the states are to admit that they arc incapable of exerting their sovereign powers then the whole theory of our government will have to be overhauled. With the adoption of the code for the bituminous coal industry it is hoped that order will be achieved out of the chaos that has gripped this industry for many years and the blot that conditions in the mining villages have placed upon our "glorious civilization" will be eliminated. Princeton University has opened a school of pure science. Its faculty is headed by Professor Albert Einstein who will lecture on his theory of relativity. Some people laugh at pure science but often practical discoveries are only possible through the application of the findings of the theorists.

Dr. Foster stated yesterday that he had been working on the proposition for the past several years but had been unable to get any concessions from the Clemson athletic association. By the terms of the agreement between the two schools the receipts from student tickets are divided between the two institutions and Clemson was unwilling to give up this source of revenue.
