FRIDAY, APRIL 12, 1935 I
Students' Protest J
1 oil ay a formidable group of students joins approximately
1(X).0()() students throughout the campuses
of the country in a student protest against
war. 1 his students' strike as tlie Literary Digest
t calls it and went on to say, k*will be in the nature j
of a rehearsal of what they may be expected to do
if the I nited States gets into war again. ^
It seems rather ironical that on one end of the
campus we are in the midst of building a memos
rial to the dead of the last war with the words inscribed
on it "They strove that war might cease,"'
and in another part students mass together in protest
of what might come as a result of the marching
feet of continental soldiers stepping to combat
time in anticipation of a war to solve what
the last left undone.
C
In the senate investigations we are learning how
we went to Europe to make the world safe for democracy.
It had already been figured out unofficially
before that committee went to work. Now 1
it becomes fact. In the senate itself, steps are being
taken to take the profits out of the business of
war. Just a day or so ago plans went forward by
the president and others to insure the neutrality of
tile U. S. in the event of another continental war.
More effective than any of these proposed efforts 1
for peace is the denial of those who would be can- (
non-fodder to participate in another war. After (
all it seems that the youth of this country rather '
than the big politicians should have some say-so (
in the matter since they are the ones who will be out *
in the field to stop the lead that spouts from the (
guns. I
One thing about this war business of the present
is the fact that the youth of this country are 1
determined to get in on the general round table dis- ^
cussion of the how, when, where and why of it. J
1a. o. t
Wanted; Scholarships (
I would like to enter the Graduate School of
the I.Diversity of South Carolina, but will be unable
to do so unless I am able to secure a scholarship
or an assistantsip to help defray my ex- '
penses. Letters like this are received almost dailv
in the office of I)r, lieed Smith, dean of the graduate
school. Almost invariably they are letters from
South Carolina's brightest and ablest students from i
both state and denominational schools. t
The reply goes forth that the University has no 1
scholarships to offer, no assistantships that would t
enable the holder to defray part of his or her ex- 1
penses while trying for the Master's degree. The ?
reply readies the hand of the applicant, who turns (
to more fertile fields to the North and the Midwest.
There large universities quick to see the ad- i
vantage of securing students of exceptional ability 1
in their graduate schools offer a large amount of ?
competitive scholarships and assistantships. i
So South Carolina's best turns elsewhere to re- 1
ceive their higher education. Thus there is set up
a slow but steady exodus of the l>est brain of the i
state to other places. Then as they graduate or \
complete their field of study they settle down in i
hose states that have offered them advantages and
'arely if ever return to South Carolina to work and
itudy, to help build up the state to the former
lign position that it occupied in past years.
The University because of low appropriations ?
md the lack of endowments has been unable to J
reate these necessary scholarships and assistant- Mc
OT3
hips, and thus has been failing to accomplish the wjt
>urpose for which it was founded service to the the
>eople of the state. This however through no son
late
ault 011 the part of the authorities of the Univer- mi*
ity who would accomplish more if they had the Co1
inancial assistance with which to do so. pic^
/
Time alone will tell what the lack of a suitable Gr?
graduate school will have 011 the state as a whole, a r
Someday perhaps too late the people of South so"
"arolina will realize that thev are driving out men
1 * ',rs
ml women of ability to seek more fertile fields
die re their talents will not go to waste. Now is
lie time for action, but whether it will he taken
r not will be another story. The state would a
10 well to look into this situation.

"Eternal Triangle" s
a
The (lamecock commends the efforts of K. S. K. c
11 their endeavor to put the election of the Univer- f
ity's May Queen 011 as high a plane as possible. c
To take this election out of politics seems to be a h
arge task for Iv. S. Iv. to accomplish. The Gameock
doesn't believe even Houdini could do that if I
le were living. npt
the
At this particular time it may be interesting to 'n
lote that the selections of the judges at the beauty
) age a nt last 1 uesdav in the words of many 011 the so?
ampus. seems to be a case of the "eternal triangle." hai
jast year .everyone will note, the same sororities
vere represented with a non-sorority representaive.
This year the same combination appears 011 2
he ballots. AY ithout particular comment 011 this i
situation 7 he Gamecock will only add that to many ^
students this is not especially appealing. *
The Gamecock knowing who the judges were, 1
Peels that it was somewhat difficult for them to
liake their choices. What The Gamecock would t
ike to suggest to Iv. S. Iv. is that they select judges t
Prom out of town if possible to participate in the
.electing of the three girls. (
It is not difticult to speculate 011 the results of
lie election this afternoon. Politics will enter into Th
t, as it has always. The case this vear seems to t'n
1 .. . as

"Great Expectations" anc
. t doi
On April '24 the University will see the begin- Ev
ling of one of the best high school weeks ever
omlucted here. Many of the best students
hroughout the state will come here to participate r
11 contests conducted by the University. As part ^
)f its purpose in advancing education throughout
he state the University will be host to these stu- i
lents. Every courtesy possible will be expected to
>e given them. 1
The Gamecock therefore anticipates this eventful
week with great expectations, both for the Uni- ab<
'ersity and the High School League as a whole, l,P
ind likewise wishes to call every student's atten- fo.r
ion to High School Week, that each and every- ste
>ne will be prepared to receive these students and
wtend them our best courtesies and facilities.
Student courtesy to these high school bovs and '
'iris will go a long way toward making that com- \
ng week a success. ,,
Ra
Initiative
The Clariosophie Literary Society is to be com- *
nended on its initiative, if nothing else, in its re ent
activities of the past month. There are many t
a ho will not condone the society s invitation cxended
to the Louisiana Senator, and still there are
nany who secretly are elated over the thought anjl ?
iction. resultant of the reception extended the stu- tt
lents by Senator Long.
More recently today the Society, granting that
t succeeds in its attempt this morning, deserves to
>e commended 011 taking the initiative along with
students throughout the country in seriously tliinkng
about the possibilities of another war, and the
why and wherefore of it.
1 he I niversity at least will have gone on record 8!
is a result of having contributed however modest 0:
the contribution may be, to nation-wide thought
md action. 0<

I lie Detroit Tigers were ranging

'He's not that big, is he?"
