Dust Your Humor Yellow Sheet Next Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of The Gamecock. We get down on our knees (figuratively speaking) and beg you to tell us some of the lurid details in the lives of our respectable and eminently bespectacled professors. Or that John Doc is a this-and that, or a so-and-so. As you may have guessed, gentle reader, we are referring to The Gamecock's Yellow Sheet which will burst forth upon a startled world on the first day of April. Contributions to the Sheet are solicited vigorously. That is, up until the 26 of this month. After that date no more material will be accepted. Anything that is clever enough will be accepted, vigorously expurgated, and will appear in the Sheet. As is the custom very little will be written by the staff members. The bulk of the Yellow Sheets, in the years past, has been brought forth "1 the hidden recesses of the various tenements and fraternity houses. And, by the way, April 1 has often been designated as "all fool's day." Catch on?
