Student Activity Building?This is the only way by which student activities can be properly centered and administrated. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1933 The Whistle Shrills?Go! At high noon tomorrow the Gamecocks and Tigers renew their traditional gridiron rivalry at the state fair grounds. As in years past, there will be the same colorful pageantry, the same vigorous spirit that has gone into every meeting of the two teams since their first battle in 1896. And as in past years, speculation and probable "tips" as to the victor will count for little. Discrepancies in the won and lost column are worthless in predicting the outcome of a Gamecock-Tiger clash. In both teams tomorrow there will be flaming desire for triumph. In both Gamecock and Tiger there will be superhuman strength, an undying determination to carry otf the trophy; and out on the field where two challenging gladiators struggle for supremacy, the victorious team will have won more than just an ordinary football game. The winning team will have fought desperately to uphold a long-standing heritage. And if you like your football where the crowd cheers frenzidly, where there is plenty of color and drjsh, then you don't want to miss that annual classic. In the matter of games won and lost the Tigers have a slight edge, having chalked up a commanding lead in the early stages of rivalry. Following resumption of relationships after the riot of 1902, however, the victories have been more evenly distributed. At the present time the Gamecocks have won two years in succession. In these two contests the Tigers were unable to score. Tomorrow they will be out for revenge and ardent supporters, recalling their magnificent tie with George Washington University and defeat of North Carolina State, are confident of Clemson's chance to overthrow the Birds. But we believe that the Gamecocks are powerful enough to repeat and score a decided victory over the beligerent Tigers tomorrow; and to that annual classic and that fighting heritage possessed by Carolina teams in the past this issue of The Gamecock is dedicated. Gamecocks, Beat Hell out of Clemson! D. B. O. (NSFA)?A fund of $85,000 has been set up at Yale University to enable students to work their way through college by work suited to their inclinations, instead of waiting table in the dining halls. They will be executive secretaries, aids tc the maters and fellows, librarians and athletic secretaries, historians or curator^, or will do specialized work in the university library. Students holding these scholarships will receive pay at a base rate of 50 cents an hour. Sixteen hours a weeh will enable them to earn their board and twelv( hours a week will give them their room rent. ?Herald Tribune (NSFA)?The Institute of Advanced Study ai Princeton, N. J., opened October 2 for its first year of work., The institute is under the direc tion of Dr. Abraham Floxner, and includes in itt faculty of noted professors, Dr. Albert Einstein. ?Princetonian (NSFA)?-The Observatory at Mills College has a telescope named "Bachel." 1 1 II I ????? The Monocle By James M. Black Hugh Distelhurst, Sigma Chi pledge, is rapidly developing into a first rate crooner. Thunderous applause greeted his efforts at the recent Z. T. A. dance. Which reminds me of an amusing poem. "Tap dance? No chance. I'd sooner Be a crooner." Ralph Newman (Coggins, Inc., young men's clothing store) former Carolina student and freshman football player was once all-Southern guard for somo Florida high school. Ralph says they called him the "Great Guard Newman." ^ Boney Johnson, Rock Hill's leading menace at Carolina for the past few years, is not among us now. It is sad to see all the old landmarks disappear. Black Wilson, who will be remembered by practically e\eryone who attended the University in 1932 is now working for the government, lchabod! (How the glory of Israel hath departed.) I1 irpo O Dell, former S. C. football star, is now in the employ of the Yellow Cab Taxi Company. "lou couldn't get a job even if your paw was president, said Joe College to Charlie Campus. Said Charlie Campus, "I wouldn't need to. I'd write for Liberty." ^ W ell, said Joe Miot to Randolph Johnson, "how do you find your bandages today?" (Referring of course, in his clever way to Johnson who manufactures bandages and medicinal supplies.) "Rather binding, Joe, rather binding,", came back Johnson, quick as a flash. "lou're an awful boar," said the mother of three little pigs to her husband. Dessie Gilland, that gay Lothario, has 'em come by for him in a Packard. Dessie has been play/ ing house with numerous local belles. Gilland is very modest about his success. "I never talk to em, lie says, "action speaks louder than words." Verse Softly she opened the door, Softly she tiptoed in, Softly across the floor. I heard the drop of a pin. Greedily she watched me. Her hot breath fanned my cheek. Fearfully I watched her. I, so humble and meek. I knew that my days were numbered, My hopes instantly fled. For I was a lump of chocolate. And she was a college co-ed. Then there is the story about the evangelist who was riding thru Connecticut and saw one of that state s famous Yankees leaning on a post chewing with evident relish a straw. "Brother," he shouted, "have you made your peace with God?" "Well," drawled the farmer, "we ain't had no open break yet." U. 8. O. A Measuring Rod ^ A plea for gentlemanly conduct at the CarolinaClemson game was made by President Baker in Chapel yesterday morning. He urged that the traditional sportsmanship of the University be upheld and that students refrain from heckling the referee and other officials. In showing our enthusiasm at the game tomorrow we may be enthusiastic, but we must not forget the proper respect due others. True courtesy must not be overlooked, even in extraordinary circumstances. We must remember that our conduct and our achievements are a measuring rod for the Uni, versity. , The game tomorrow will be a colorful affair, . every student will be keyed up to a high pitch of excitement. All of us sometimes allow our emotions . free reign, allow ourselves to go without restraint. , But in this matter we must watch ourselves care: fully, realizing the wealth of meaning that may ? bo placed upon our conduct by spectators from all over the state. Much depends upon their opinion . and good will if the University, a state institution, is to continue prosperous. ^ There are going to be new seats in the chapel. . With increased comfort there should be decreased i opposition to chapel attendance. Talk begins of an extra session of the legislature. Such a move would give a lot of unin3 formed people in the state an unfailing source of derrogatory conversation. ~| Players Planning First Production (CONTINUED PROM PAGE ONE) that the players, were not included in "J the allocation of funds from the student activity fees. 1 The continuance of the yearly program set forth by the Palmetto Players, remembering their past successes iri such v outstanding hits as "The Ideal Husband," "As Husbands Go," and "Edgar Allen Poe," coupled with the national comment on the players last production, is indeed gratifying. Mr. Dean is busily making preparations for the first production of the year. The title of this forthcoming production has not been announced as yet but according to Mr. D<San the title and possible cast of the play will be published in the next issue of The Gamecock. The Palmetto Players lost only three or four of its experienced members last year, and a cast fully equipped to carry out the same high standards of collegiate dramatic entertainment ^ is promised for the ensuing dramatic season at the University. Many new students have registered their intentions to participate in forthcoming productions, according to Mr. Dean and with these new dramatic ase pirants there will be some promising :n material to draw from in order to pret sent the best in student play productions. je XT.

It was promulI gated at a hastily called meeting Saturie day which was attended by Dr. Foster, President Baker, and Dean Bradley. A permanent ruling will be laid down as soon as the faculty committee can be called together. Dr. Foster desired that it be made plain that the present permission to use the gymnasium for dances is based upon the condition that previous abuses be remedied and warned that if they continue it is probable that dances will be barred from the gymnasium permanently. ....... ,,^i STUE I I 1 ^ Help those who hel] in , ' is your paper.

Yearbook Pians Are Announced | (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) The editor stressed the fact that the S price of $3 covers both the picture in ? ' i the annual and the yearbook itself, and I that no further payment will be made. 1 He explained that if a student were B not in college at the time the annual is published, the book wpuld be mailed to 5 him. The card issued when the subscrip- g tion price is paid is of greatest itnpor- g tance, Cjibbes said, and cautioned that it be kept under all circumstances. This card must be presented at the photographers when pictures are made. Gibbes also announced that there will be a meeting of The Garnet and Black . staff on Monday, October 23, at four o'clock. All who wish positions on the staff are requested to attend this meeting, he announced. U. S. C.

Carolina To-day Critic The writer of this column at least one critic who is not in the least backward about expressing his opinion of the pillar. Last week those of you who care about such things, may have noticed that "Carolina Today" was conspicuous by its absence. Here's why, the copy for the column was (as usual) rushed to the Gamecock office at the last possible moment. The door being locked, the valuable manuscript was shoved under the door. Later in the day the janitor, who must be a lover of fine literature, opened the door and went calmly about his business of sweeping out the office. To his delight. he discovered the copy for this column. "Oh," he murmured, "that!" and with a careless gesture consigned it to trash can with little ado. We repeat, we have at least found an honest critic. "A Pathostic Story" Somebody has made the cruel stat ment that the young men and woine of today arc hard, callous, and hear less. It has been said that collcf students have no sentiment, but delig] in making fun of the older virtues ar emotions. A story sent in by one < our correspondents is herewith offerc in answer to the above derogatory r marks. The author of the followir entitled it "A Pathostic Story," just i be different; see, "pathos-tic:" "A week's growth of beard coven his tired face. His disreputable' tro sers were torn and muddy. His shii open at the neck, was greasy and soil< from long usage. His shoes we cracked and skuffed almost beyoi recognition. A faded and raveh garnet and black sweater complet< the ensemble. He hung, from sheer weariness, c the fence at Melton Field watching tl varsity scrimmage in preparation f( the Clemson game. Just as I came i Mauncy swept around end and wii a beautiful change of pace broke in the open, eluding all of the membe of the opposing team. ' 'Oh, God,' the tramp muttcre 'don't let him do that in the gam He 11 get his picture in the newspape "I, surprised, inspected him mo closely. He was not the old man had thought. He was about twent eight or thirty years old. He turn* and spoke to me. "'Will that back star tomorrow? ' I said, 'yes, I suppose so.' T] tramp turned his eyes back to tl practice and, speaking in a low tone though he had forgotten me, sai " 'Yes, he will be a star. His pictu will be in the papers. He will be f mous and happy. Happy.' He ga a bitter laugh, 'my picture was in1 tl papers.' "Just then Laval dismissed the pla ers and they streamed off the field go to the dressing rooms. Laval d cided to go through the gate ne which we were standing. The tramp started up as though speak to the coach but, suddenly, ] seemed conscious of his clothes. Tur ing, he averted his face until Lav had passed. Then he turned to me with an i gratiating smile. I reached into n pocket for some change. But, seeii my gesture, the tramp shook his hea ' 'No. buddy, I just wanted a tick to the game. I don't want no 111011c 'Why,' with a cryptic smile, 'my pi tures was in the papers.' "Turning, he shambled off into tl dusk." All of which goes to show that sor college students still have souls. Zoological Notes 1. I never knew agnu, did you, Who liked upon his cud to chew?

Legal Note , From their actions at dances, seems that a good many of the 1? students should have no difficulty passing their bar exams. Mysterious Ladtes Just after the Gamecock comes out with the announcement that there will be no sponsors for the Carolina-Clemson fracas, the town is plastered with posters stating that there will be a ball given in honor of the Carolina-Clemson sponsors. You figure it out; it's beyond us.
