Why Not Omit Classes On Saturda3
Of Fair Week? What Good Are

Why dio we have to attend classes on Saturda
follow\"ing the C'lelmson gaie and State Fair hol
days? 'Ilat is the question, anl1d the opinion <
liost all concerned is that We should not be r
qiired to (1o so.
It is the clstolli over on legal island, the La'
School for the Students and their isttictors t
muntually agree, either openly or sileltly, thil
neither will botlier with post-Clemson Saturdla;

Quite amusing is the remllar"k of one of the la\
professors recently.
"The least said about Saturday classes, the bette
it will he." was the statelent, to the surprise e
0111 future barristers, notle of wholm had the rt
notest idea of mentioning them.

Maybe we could( dispense with Thanksgivin
holiday. it isn't long enough for one to go 11011
comfortably anyway. Maybe we could begin th
term one (lay earlier, lessen our Christmas raca
tion by one dlay, or lengthen our school year b
the same amount, in ordler to have this extr'a dai
during fair week.

Is There Any Great Amount of Good
Done By Enforced Religious
Worship?
The Gamecock wants to renew an old battlecry;
"No more compulsory chapel !"
Our shouts have been unheeded in the past. IIow
ever, that is not because our cause lacks merit, but.
- rather because it has not been consistently pressed.
Perhaps it is an imposition in these times of pro
gressive thinking in practically every field to bllrdell
the faculty's already overerowded mind with more
new ideas; nevertheless we will attempt it, briefly,
for the reason that we think that our suggestion
is so concrete that it will bear some weight with
them.
To demand the discontinuance of all gatherings
with the University Administration would be tin
reasonable. To demand a liscontilltance of all re
- ligious observance would also be unreasonable. We
r waut. to make a suggestion to the faculty that we
r" think is reasonable.
r Our suggest ion is this: First, require a gather
ingr of the student body. by classes or as a whole,
r1 once ia 1month for announcenents and possibly lee
tures, if an exceptionally fine speaker can be ob
tained. Tio kee) the stmdent body and the 1n1i
versity Administration in contact, this should be
- cOmpulsory. Ilet.weenl imeetings announcements can
he p)oste(, or published in The ( (a,mecock. Seco)i.l
fOr" religious observance conduct a voluntary chapel
in the middle of the week for those who feel the
ieed for, or have developed the habit of, regular
organized worship.
The underlying idea should be obvious. It is to
separate the purely administrative and the )urely
religious phases of present chapel exercises. Rev
erent worslip is hampered to the point of imnlpos
" sibility by indifference or antagonism. Iliose who
once had a desire to benefit by services <iickly lose
that desire in the presence of such an attitude.
Wanting the real tlling, they are embittered by
the present mongrel chapel exercises. Yet they
would rejoice in a service devoted entirely to wo
shi) and music, attended only by those whl(o wanted
to attend.
V What we object to is first conpulsory attendance
at rel igiois exercises, and second a mongrel sort
t of chapel. Some of us want a roluntaircy church
service; most of its recognize the need for admlinis
tratiye gatherings; but all of us resent. bein; forced
to attend anl ineflectua combination of the t wo.
Is it too much to request the faculty to express <
r an opinion on this iatter in the form of anl open
f letter to The Gamecock or an address at chapel ?
- Perhaps they can see a justification for the present
svsteml which we are unabtlale to perceive. '1he
- k ho lat we think about it; what do they think

Home Sick

A worn-to-the-frazzle professor,
so we heard, recently read a
whole set of quiz papers without
grading them. It probably would
have been better if he had graded
them without reading them.

Suggestions
We suggest that the two liter
ary societies get together and con
stitute them a School of Polit

ing the title conform with the
state of affairs.
No Mon
Despite the fact that the senior la
-lass voted to wear derhies to ill
lold the (lignity of future bar-men
>ers, only one new "hard hat" wr
mrchasel. Perhaps the probleims ca

Authority
It has been said that the three
favorite sources of quotations
among University students are
Shakespeare, the Bible and Pro
fessor Babcock.

November 1st has been set as tl

WHAT'S WHAT IN UN
By Camil
Novels v
IHugh \Valpole in his novel "The In- A
quisitor," which has just been published I
and is already one of the best sellers in n
the New York llerald-Tribune's weekly '
list, has written his greatest novel in com- i
pleting his series of Cathedral stories. Ie I
brings in the whole town of Polchester r
from the lowly "Seatown" by the river
to the topmost tower of the Cathedral on
the Rock above with many of the old c
and many more new characters of all f
ranks and ages and he makes it symbolic Y
e of these troublous times with the medieval s
mysticism of the past.
e There is mystery and murder and a 1
it ghastly murdered ghost, but there is also 0
spiritualness and worldliness, love and s
hatred, cowardice and bravery, com- I
nmnism and conservac;sm, youth and tl
age, cruelty and kindnes'--humanity itself J
with all its evil and its good in this one s
small town as it is in all the world. 11
Ilugh Walpole with his exquisite style (
and psychological analysis of his char- I
acters vividly describes the effect of the e
mrder mystery and ghost upon the whole R
town even though the most hated and tl
feared man in I'olchester is the murdered
uisurer who haunts its streets and the 0
- Cathedral tuntil his murderer is found. I
>f Ile says the plot came from a dream I1
s, which haunted him until lie wrote "The
r liuisitor" after years had passed.
t1 The story is not pleasant but the skill
1 of the author and the mystery thrill the 1
reader to the last page. There is satire (
Is too, of a delightful kind, that adds enjoy- I
ment and admiration for its truth to life k
everywhere. "The Inquisitor" is a last
ing ad(lition to the great novels of Eng
land. So much is told in its nearly live "
hundred pages that it does not scent near
that long. It is published in this coun- a
try by Doubleday, Doran and Company,
Inc., New York. li
()ctavius Roy Cohen. Charleston born
but after years of newspaper work there,
now living in Alabama where lie suc
v ceeded as a popular short story writer
and novelist, has just published one of
his best novels of Southern life called
,s "With Henetit of Clergy," a well written
n and delight fully app(ositely and oppositely
g niamed application of Kipling's famous i
y story. It is about white people in a small
Southerii town that might be Alabama a
or South Carolina. Certainly the life of a
the day is exactly described for this sec- s
tion of the world with many amusing .
and touching incidents and characteriza
tions.
liustinc, the heroine, comes of a poor
white family from originally good stock
which she reverts to by her own etTorts
and courage so she is admired and so
cially recognized by the upper class of
the town. 11cr marriage to Larry Win
e throp, the pick of the town, is all but
ruined through the jeaious muaginations
of her rejected lover one of the lowest
of the poor white trash.
I ut there is much more than this bare
Soutline to thle story which moves swiftly
dI aiid for ainot her couple pit ifully anid
tragically. Mr. Cohen knows how to
iinterest his readlers as Th'le Saturday

rho take part in "The Conversation at
lidnight," at a rich New York bache
>r's home after dinner. These notes do
ot admit it but the famous "Bishop
lougram's Apology" of Robert Brown
ig must have been the suggestion to
dna St. Vincent Millay, though that is
ither a monologue from the Bishop
supposed to be Cardinal Wiseman)
who rolled him out a mind long
rumpled'' to "Gigadibs the literary man"
)r Bishop Blougram had promised "if
ou would watch a dinner out, we would
'e truth dawn together."
There a: e six or seven men who take
art in these discussions each from his
wit point of view of the world as he
mes it today from Ricardo, the rich host
alf Italian and half American, Anselmo
te Italian priest, Aferton a stockbroker,
hn a port rait painter, Pygmalion a short
tory writer, Carl a poet and Com
nmist, and, Lucas an advertising man
mly twenty-five years old. Mliss Dlillay
roves here again that she is the great
St American poet of this day and many
enerat ions, and one only wishes that
tese selections were longer. They are
a characteristic of the times and thought
f the day, language too, and yet all
trough there are exquisite touches of
ure poetry in rhythm and thought.
Also the November Iarpers maga
ine honors our fellow South Carolinian,
rchibald Rttledge, who writes, a thrill
ig article on "Monsters of the Swamp"
Santee Swamp in South Carolina)
lere he vividly describes meeting and
illing a bull alligator nearly seventeen

angerous animals. 11e has also an
