Ask any of the University of South Carolim gridsters who are this year closing their collegia turf digging if they want their sons to be a gri Plosa,ay Footaswr," i D evably Our"n The man who has for four years undergoi Wtnuois training, spent hours on the gridiro that otherwise could have been used in studyin restrained his social activities, tll in an effol to excite a little more praise for his Alma Mate in retrospect finds the result undesirable. This same person is too often deficient in t i required "book learning". Physically he has ofte become warped. His muscles are strained, boni cracked and remended. Of course such cases aren't so prevalent todla as they formerly were. A safer game has grow up. Coaches are emphasizing resistance more tha ever-teaching the technique of hitting hard wit least hazard. Some of the players enter the game throng love of sport. Others through necessity. Many ov objections of parents or gualrdians. Practicall all change their viewpoint with the closing o their careers. "No, sir, my son is going to college to stud and not to play football," declared one of the stal of tihe past season recently. This, howev'er, is p)robably tile sentimnent C the moment. Imagine that samne lprsonl 20 years from nov (That wvould give him time to select a wife an raise a "young'un.") He and mama are seate before a cozy p)arlor fire. IHe is perulsing the ev<( nling paper. Mama is writing a letter. "Look, mama," papa shouts, "here's Bill picture-on tile sports pag". They say that he one of the most promising backs on the freshma squad at the University this year. I knew la couldl do it. Just like his old1 dad. 'Memb)er whe I ran 65 yards for the winning touchdown m freshman year. I'll have to look up those clii pings sometimes." Mama throws a wistful glance at the spori page, smiles tolerantly at her husband as he rav< on about "when he played foothball," and cor tinues writing. "Son, Papa just saw your picture in the papi where it told all about how good you are. We ai mighty proud of you son, but do be careful," tl letter reads. She heaves a sigh and seals it, menta ly praying that nothing happens to "my boy." Tile big game of Bill's senior year rolls aroun as is usual for events like that, lie has slasht the enemy line for repeated gains and a coup touchdowns. He has returned punts for valuab yardage. His own booting and passing has bet flawless. He is easily the star of the game. 'Papa swings his hat off a bald head. His over prominent mid-section quivers in excitement. I pats mama's hand reassuringly, and tells borl kspectators that "Bill is just like his old ma Why back in 1935-," but no one is listenin Bill walks out of the game near the end of t last quarter. The last time he will ever walk off aege gridiron. He is given a thunderous ovatic Coaches, teammate, friends grasp him by t ~'hand. "No eon of mine will ever play football," ias the men file into the dressing rooms. Think Of The Big Time We Are Hav ing While You Write Your Term Paper Christmas holidays (see front page) are now upon us. Such are the surrounding circumstances that it will be impossible for us to get out another issue of The Ganecock, unless Santa will bring us - one on Christmas. Being cognizant of the fact that you have promised to write at least one term paper ouring the respite so kindly granted to you by the powers that be, we cannot 'conscientiously wish you a Merry Christmas, but we do hope that you w ill suffer no injury from those infernal me chanitions commodly known as fireworks. In fact. it would indeed exhibit a true Christmas spirit if you would send all available explosives to Haile Selassie, care of Il Duce. - Tur:n On The Heat. Its -Cold Weather Now r About this time of the year the rus on the in firmary increases. University students file in and out constantly. Noses are sprayed, throats are r mopped, cold tablets and cough syrup are con suiied in astounding quantities. An occasional victim is put to bed. If not, he attends classes indifferently. A dull headache, flashing pains in the neck, back and shoulders-these are the sensa tions of the unfortunate one. Why do such cases increase about this time of the year? Evidently a result of cold weather. But, if the rooms and showers were heated in propor tion to the increasing cold, the sickness would be reduced to a minimum. You manage to crawl from between the blankets. Shiveringly you approach the showers, anticipat ing a sootlikng flood of w,prni water. You twist y the faucet. The water strikes your quivering back with the force of a disappointing disillusionment. You gasp for breath and stumble back into your room, groping for clothes. e Numb fingers, blue feet, suffer in silence. The radiator makes a strangling noise, as if it were laughing at you, and surrenders in despair. e MAY WE HAVE A LITTLE MORE HEAT? WE AREN'T IN TRAINING FOR A TRIP TO TIlE NORT1l POLE. Come Out Of Hiding, Candidates Let's Have A Look At You Recently an action of the University students in egeneral assembly provided1 that all aspiring camn 1 ps politicians address the student body at desig ed nd times, outlining their platform, and appeal ing to the voters in regular stump speeches. ! Last week the first of the meetings of this type n was held in the chapel. There was plenty of dis cussion of other matters, but none of our would e he presi(ents so much as announced their candi dacy. Unless the students do something about this, b you will not have the privilege of hearing your I campus rulers until election day arrives. Y It is not the scarcity of candidates that is de f priving you of the pleasure you have asked for. From present indications the field is plenty full. ', The pressing difficulty is to find figures that will s inlclud(e the list. If you really wvant to hear some of our local fpolitical talent; if you really want sweet promises whispered into y our suscep)tible ears; if y'ou want to know just how your next student officers are Igoing to "endI ring rule," "clean up dirty p)olitics," make the University a student governmental uto piai, you have got to make our candlidates speak. Why not pass5 a resolution, amendmeht, measure, or whatever it takes, setting a deadline for an s nouncedl candidacies? Why not have all announce smnents made publicly something like two months preceding election ? Accept none after the set date. e This would make our aspirants come out in the open. You wvould have more time to shoot at them, if you want to shoot at them. This would give the candlidate more time to select and pre.sent his po litical planks, if he has any. And it would be ;s oh, so munch fun. The University student's fav ~s orite dish, "bull," would be dished out in great -mouthfuls. Like a Cprson groping in the dark for the light ~r bulb11, our politicians are feeling their way at pres -e ent. They are approaching you individually, sens 0 ing your reactions, sounding out their strength. "What are my chances for this office?" they ask as if they wvere taking you into their confidence. I, Sometimes, in your effusive gratitude for the recog ~d nition of the mighty, you assure them that "You he have it in the bag. I'm voting for you." he The days of the hot student body sessions, the n fiery sp)eeches, startling accusations, blood-curdling assertions, have faded away. No longer do our ly leaders verbally slit each other's throats. Where le are our highly interesting repudiations? And the ~d noise of some strong party, as it is torn asunder, a. shattered, and scattered? - Let's get our future representatives on the stage. ie Don't let them "blush unseen." Why, it's getting a to the place now where many of the students don't nl. know their president, their advisory board mem die bers, social cabineteers, when they see them. Drop your strings candidates, and place your die future in the hands of an informed student ballot. Carolina To-day (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Miss Jane Hunter, of Liberty, who is acting as one of the sponsors for the Kappa Sig dance. The document was a lengthy affair, which unanimously asked that Spot Mozingo be given the second no-break. Shine Two shining lights on the bus from Florida were the nose of Billy Baldwin and the top of Dean Olson's head, according to Harry Spann. But the most spectacular scene of the entire trip was photo graphed by one of the members who took along a kodak and man aged to snap a shot while the bus was stopped. Publicity N a newsreel at the Carolina theater recently, the account of a youngster, who was locked in a refrigerator car for eleven days, was displayed in de tail. The lad told of his having to eat the soles of his shoes, the leather which served as a hat-band, and other things. "You should have to eat at the mess hall for a month, brother," cried one Carolina student. Superstitious? And speaking of the same dance, some of the sponsors have become upset since the date of the affair will be Friday, the 13th. But to show that they are not supersti tious, members of the fraternity will allow a black cat to cross their path, will walk under a lad der, will break a mirrow before the dance, and will allow the moon to shine over their left shoulders. Mess Hall News Posted in a prominent place in the mess hall is an attempt at a' news paper. The editor, who failed to dis close his name, is the dictator of the Clariosophic Society, Richard Foster. One of the feature articles of the sheet is a notice that Boyd Hughes will no longer accept loans from students and customers. Anonymous Some budding campus poet took it upon himself to send us the following little dirty ditty this week. We don't think it is worth much as a verse but maybe you won't mind that. Here it is: 'Lizabeth Lindsay has fallen in love, Every word that she says rymes with stars above, She talks baby talk and rolls goo goo eyes, If she ask her what's wrong, she tells little white lies. But you ask who's the fellow she's cuurraazzyy about, It's Miniature Woodrow, the darn little louse. Grid Course "I didn't knowv you played football," replied one c5o-ed after Tom Watson said he had to go meet a music class. Broad Minded Much comment has been a roused by the recent statement of Univesity of Wisconsin's Presi dent Glenn Frank. Many college prexies will not agree, but, writes President Frank: "When university authorities maintain a censorship of a student newspaper, it ceases to be a stu dent newspaper, and becomes an' administration newspaper, in which case why not publish an official paper and be done with it?" The fact that University of Wisconsin has perhaps the most outstanding School of Journalism in the United States should add weight to the statement. Greek Letter Several years ago there was a bil before the Legislature which had as its aim the disbanding of all Greel letter fraternities on the University campus. "Why," said one of the legislators "I wouldn't even consider my son as sociating with a bunch of Greeks.' Sweet Matrimonyl Professor Edwin Burdell of Massachusetts Tech states that the death rate Is lower among married men than unmarried men, that fewer married men go Insane, and fewer commit crimes.

Most of these have been selected through the heads of the different departments as well as by the head Librarian and therefore ore can depend upon their being the best as well as the newest or latest editions on their subjects, and for permanent additions of value and interest to all readers. First among these, and forever timely, will be mentioned as the latest put on the shelves this week, the following; "Old Glass, European and American," by Hudson Moore, published this fall, a big book with 265 illustrations, many of them in color, printed by Tudor Pub lishing Company of New York. A very beautiful and authoritative book to read, enjoy and consult through its fine index. "The Practical Book of Tapestries," by George Deland Hunter, with many lovely illustrations, part in color and the rest in two tones, is another exquisite book on the famous old'art which is more admired and used now than even at its greatest glory in medieval times. It is published by Lippincott and is also a large and very thorough and well edited book. "The Practical Book of Oriental Rugs" by Dr. G. Griffin Lewis, Is a late edition of the same reliable and modern Lippin cott Series, also beautifully illustrated in colors. An invaluable and charming book for all. "Pottery and Porcelain, European only, vol. I, and vol. II on European and The Near East, Eathenware, Stonewvare etc." by Emil Hanover, edited by Bernard Rackham, illustrated fully, are two fas cinating volumes for art lovers and those who wish to learni about these branches of true art. "Fresco Painting" by Gardner Hale, with additional chapters prepared from his notes by Shaemas O'Sheel arid a pre face by Jose Clemente Orozco, recent edition published by Rudge Company, is another book written and edited by the highest authorities on this art and beautifully illustrated. "Sculpture" by A. M. Rindge, -and published by Payson and Clarke, is still another illustrated edition for art lovers and students which, however, should attract the general reader as well. All these art books are accessible to the students in the main reading room, but in the museum there are also four volumes on Gilbert Stuart, magnificent ly illustrated with descriptive lists of his Yo1 PRHOTOC A GIFT ONLY Y4 GIl To al's 'PHOTOGRAPHS Camr ROBERT R.

It is a treasure trove for till lovers of nature and especially for he young student. It is also a most :ompanionable for older lovers of )irds, and, as it is a comparatively ew and inexpensive book, having been published within two years, .vould. make a charming and useful addition to one's home collection of ooks. "Birds of Canada," by P. A. Tauerner f the Canada Department of Mines in Kational Museum of Canada is a Bulle in in their biological series. It is there ore, authoritative, but it is a delightful ook which does not take us too far away for it tells us also of the birds hat migrate South. There are other books on Nature, though they are more scientific and >nly for students on their line, but they are most modern and fully illustrated. Two of these are: "A Manual of the Common Invertebrate Animals, Exclu sive of Insects," by Professor Henry Sherring Platt, and the "Biology of the Protozoa," by Pro fessor Gary N.
