Comments On The Game
Just before the kick-off at the Carolina-Clen
son game last Thursday, Sam Cartledge, presi
dent of the University of South Carolina student
body, addressed the entire crowd of 18,000 people
and informed them that students of the. Univer
sity are not in favor of liquor drinking at fooutal
games.
Whether it was this message or whether it was
the weather that kept the public from drinking
is not known, but certainly there was mllch less
than in former years. The old "fight-a-minute"
that characterizes the annual classic, was missing.
To our knowledge, there were only two fights dur
ing the entire game.
Students of the University are to be congrattl
lated on their splendid conduct. The same goes
for the public.
And while congratulations are in line, a few
bouquets should be thrown at students for their
yells. It it hadn't been for our cheer leaders, one
could have heard very easily the dropping of a
ten-cent piece in the Carolina section. Tony, the
peanut man, found that he couldn't sell any of
his parched nuts, because students thought that
cracking shells would disturb the others present.
When yells reached their lowest ebb, Dink Gaines
and Betty Iorton, last year's cheer lealers, forgot
the usual5 dignlity of sp)onsors and tried to pepI up
tile Garnet anid Black supporters, bult their etiorts
were in vain. Milking the Carolina section yell wais
like making Billy Goldberg enter tile ring againlt

Carolina cer leaders havi e worked except ion
ally hlard this yearl. They(' hiave pullled off many
unique features for our' grid battles. It only seems
logical and et hical that thle studeltnt body would
show thieir' appre"iat ion for the chIee'r leadlers anld
the team byll letting oflf a few utteirances at the re
maitnder of tile games this season.

The Faculty Takes A Hand
"Effective October 20, 1936, and uihtil further
notice, no formal dances may be given at the Uni
versity of South Carolina or by any organization in
of the University of South Carolina at any lo- PO
cation in or out of the city of Columbia, unless de
the following procedure is executed and ap- th
proved: ..." is
So starts a long resolution by the faculty com- it
nuittee on fraternities and student organizations. th
The main purpose of the resolution was to cut in th
half the number of dances held at the University c*
each year. be
This action was taken only after numerous com
plaints by students and parents as to the excessive s
number of formal dances that were given each atu
year. The committee found that an average of tu
two major (lances are given each week. That is
too much.
The only objection The </ame"ock has to the reso- Pr
lution is that it limits the number of (lances that
fraternities can give each year. Only six of the 13 tie
fraternities are allowed the privilege of giving st,
a dance each year. It seems that each fraternity th;
should be allowed to give at least one (lance a year. cr
Every fraternity has a Founder's (lay, and it is is
the usual custom for a banquet and at (lance to
he given that night. It only seems fair that they
should be allowed to celebrate. th
The committee's interpretation of a formal dance ar
is rather unique.. "The committee on fraternities th
and student organizations interprets at formal ar
dance as a dance given by an organization where an
it is necessary to use a dance hall and employ an ly
orchestra."
Does this mean that hiring an orchestra to play bo
in a fraternity's house will, or will not, be an in- 5c
fraction of the rule? te<
'rThe idea of having an auditor check the books sa
of each organization before dances is a good one. dii
This should meet with the approval of each treas
urer. of
urer. of there"""luti n wil; giv etidpntc more sa
time and money. It takes money and plenty of it
to go to dances. Needless to say, it takes time. e
The calendar that will be kept in Mr. Harth's d'
office will avoid the possibility of having too many pa
(lances in the same week.
An important point the committee overlooked, th(
however, was that of enforcing the resolution they
passed. In connection with this, the resolution
states: si
Ie
"The faculty committee regards it as desirable wi
that in the reduction of dances to be given by stu- ac1
(lent organizations the (lances shall be so spaced ins
that no two major dances be scheduled in the same no
week.
bo,
"It is hoped that all student organizations of the to
University in having either formal or informal co
(lances will cooperate with the administration in be
the spirit of this resolution looking toward the cat
reduction of the number of both types of (lances
given by students." cat
The Gam,,ecock is of the opinion that a definite r
rule should be set dlownt which will afflect those thi
who (do not cooperate. ma

For The Students
(An Editorial)
The canteen, book store, and pre
r club at the University are si
sed to be operated "for the si
nts and by the students." W1
e phrase "for the students" mea
a bit far-fetched and vague. Dc
mean that students are allowed of
e privilege of making purcha!
ere, or does it mean that the pi
eds of the three organizations sh
turned over to the students?
For a number of years the thi
>res were operated by the athle
sociation and all excess funds w<
rned over to that department. TI
ar the University proper is oper
r the stores, and the profits will
pended at the discretion of t
esident of the University.
In past years we have seen very I
co-op between the stores and I
:dents. Prices here are no cheat
in at stores just off the campus, a
!dit is not extended to students as
at stores owned by non-Univers
n.
At many institutions of learni
oughout the country similar stoi

!se universities, however, the stot
run on a non-profit making bas

reduced prices.
F-or instance, if a package of no1
ok paper were sold elsewhere I
per package, the store (or ca
