"GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN" These were the words carved to the memory of a youth into the desk at which he sat once as editor of the Gamecock, little knowing that some day these same words that he carved would mark a greater passing. That passing created for us a greater regret and a greater loss to be mourned by the profession of which he was a conspicuous and valuable member, and by the school where he made many friends and in which he prepared himself for his brief but promising career. There was something resentful about his death that is inexpressable. "The good die young." No better words than these of the Associated Press could have summed up the short journalistic career of Allen Rollins. "Industrious, modest, loyal, high-minded," were the words his teacher, Dean J. Rion McKissick, used to characterize him as a man. As editor and managing editor of the Gamecock Allen Rollins first displayed his unique ability and aptitude as a newspaperman. Admired by every member of his staff, who easily recognized his ability as a leader, he was given unfailing and willing support, as deserving loyalty to a leadership that was his. Allen Rollins has truly given us the words that shall mark his passing. "He is gone but not forgotten." NEW DEAL A new spirit of co-operation and sportsmanship seems to have made its way upon the campus and gridiron since the arrival of that winning . personality, Don McCallister. Whatever it is about him, it seems to be contagious. Everyone is embued with a new enthusiasm. It seems to the Gamecock that we have gotten to our real size now. In that knowledge, a new fighting spirit?a new ambition to start forward, is uniquely ours, for the first time in years. It is no mere repetition of history. That fallacy is out and will be proved to be nonsense. A more exact knowledge of our real status, plus a much needed spirit of co-operation, is the new heritage. A new deal in spirit and sports has come to the University and the coach trust of the McCallister regime, consisting of Paully, Stammons and our own Harold Mauney, will endeavor to prove that the new combination is our gain. Whatever victory or defeat shall be ours from now on, however small or great either may be, the value of this new enthusiasm will credit our ledger to one hundred per cent, spirit. We wonder who's trying Hauptmann, snoopkey-holer, Winchell, or the prosecuting attorney, Wilentz. Silence may be golden, as of a few years ago, but inactivity as of now tends to become too lead-y. ADDRESS TO FRESHMEN In addressing the select and limited freshman class n6w becoming the newest part of the University, the Gamecock will impress upon each and every member that they have now reached the beginning of a career for which the ending is to be determined by the manned" in which they approach the four years ahead of them. Seriousness of study, application, a firm realization of purpose, and time out for play, some of the classical rules to be considered to a well ordered career at college. A complete list of dos and don'ts having been misplaced at this time the Gamecock will merely state that as' freshmen you have come up from high school, and in the advent you inherit certain responsibilities that you must consciously attend to with care. The University has traditions which you shortly will realize. It also offers you a field of extra-curricular activities that will give you every opportunity to help realize and express yourself. This phase of the University's make-up is the most important phase to co-ordinate with the class room. The Gamecock joins with all other organizations on the campus in welcoming you as Carolina men, and extends its facilities and service to each of you to aid you in becoming loyal supporters of your new alma mater. QUESTIONNAIRE "Do the Students want Boxing to be continued at the University?" has been the question that has been arising with startling regularity during the past few weeks as a result of the showing of the boxing team in its present campaign. The record of the team thus far has not been impressive, that is an admitted fact. But few have looked behind the scenes. Coach DeMars turned out a championship team last year when he had the material. This is the proverbial lean year and with lK^le or no material Coach DeMars is working miracles. A few of the faithful followed Coach DeMars and his boxers to North Carolina a few weeks ago and were treated to a marvelous set of matches. South Carolina faced a veteran team and every member turned in a good account of himself. Lack of co-operation has badly hampered Coach DeMars in the past. Now when things are beginning to look a little brighter and with the addition of a new coaching staff is no time to be raising the hue and cry to do away with the boxing team. With sober thought the authorities will realize that there is a place for the boxing team on the sports program of the University and that the boxing team must be continued. MORAL INDIGNATION The era of reformation of the past semester has somewhat receded into a moral quietude. The objectives of the reformation attained a rather disturbing effect to which no one heartily stamped his approval. However, in spite of the unpopularity it achieved, there is one important conclusion to be made from it, and in spite of the fact that all its objectives could not have been attained, the era itself served to arouse a certain consciousness that such conditions were existant and undesirable. The Gamecock "is referring specifically to the two phases of campus life, political system and student activities. What moral action is to be taken on the situation is the concern of the reformist. That evil has been with this old world for many years and will continue to be is the concern of the forces of religion. To construct an evil-proof system or organization will be the perpetual objective of the moral reformist. The only paint, figuratively speaking, with which to coat any system to make it stand is moral indignation. Moral indignation, itself a costly and rare paint, has found few campuses to embellish. It seems that South Carolina has lost another "first". Gov. Bibb Graves puts his name to a general order, Feb. 2, 1935, permanently paroling 5,100. A student may either wear the medals he has gotten in college when he goes baek home to bewilder the people there or he may put them ir his drawer where they belong. Carolina ? Today bi A Chance staj TVo engaging young men about the Eu] campus are evry anxious to have the following item appear in The Gamecock. Only these twfo young men and 011 a few young ladies seem to under- ^ stand its innuendos. of The item: "Which sorority on the hist campus flips coins for its dates?" True Love Jy t We hear that the latest married man on the campus is confronted with a tragic situation. He has been of- ^ fered a job at a boys' school in Asheville, but one provision is that he live in the dormitory. Will he take the ~ offer! ?rJ bat< Dignity and Tomato Soup out gue What popular English professor recently had lunch at ait uptown cafe- 5=5 teria with one of the students and then embarrassed both the student and himself by spilling a bowl of tomato soup in the spinach and macaroni on & the steam table? >> Chess Indeed << Some people might think that sit- << ting down for six hours a day is a ?? cinch, but two of the people who were >> registering freshmen in Sloan were so SS bored that they played chess to while ? away the hours.

Praise Self-advertisement it may be, but _ nevertheless two graduate students from Mary Baldwin said that the University had a very good paper. And they edited a paper themselves that tied with another for a first award in the latest contest of the Virginia Intercollegiate Press Association. Yo-yo Again The Gamecock staff was busy Wednesday night experimenting with a yo-yo, which may or may not explain several things about this issue , of the paper. He Should Pass The following courses were those one freshman was trying to enroll for Monday: 1. Bible. 2. Public Speak ing, 3. Music Appreciation, 4. Hy- = giene and 5. Fine Arts. __ Fire!
