CROWING FOR
A Better Carolina Spirit?Among Alumni, Faculty and
Students.
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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Poem In Praise of Eddie Guest
The erudite look down upon,
Ah yes, distinctly frown upon,
The kind of poetry that he writes,
But darn the literary lights.
Keep right on writing for you know
Your homely pen's prolific flow,
Insures you of a place to sleep,
Three meals a day, in short, your keep.
Most people are not really very
Interested in literary

People that he strives to please,
He's really not so sorry that he
Is not of the literati.

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

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.

cotte the game but insufficient student
support caused the effort to fall
through.
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.
It is understood that like concessions
have been made to Clemson students.
