Carolina Student Body Bans Drinking At Game For the second year, the Carolina student body has gone on record as opposing drinking at football games. Last year at the Carolina-Clemson game Sam Cartledge, president of the student body, addressed the stands, asking them to re frain from drinking and his request met with such coopera tion that the absence of strong drink was the talk of the state for weeks. This year, further plans have been made. Stokes Davis, student president, speaking for the student body and the leadership fraternities, wvill ask for cooperation in barring drinking. A student body meeting has been called and an anti-drinking petition signed by the majority of students has been presented to University officials. As the specta tors enter the gates, they will be given printed cards with the following message: "STUDENTS OF THE UNI VERSITY REQUEST THAT YOU USE YOUR IN FLUENCE TO PROHIBIT DRINKING AND INTOX ICANTS AT TIIS GAME. IHELP US TO MAINTAIN THE GOOD NAME OF THE UNIVERSITY." Director of Athletics William II. IIarth, in a statement this morning said: "These cards are to be given out at the game and I feel sure that the public will cooperate with the student body's request." Carolina students, you will be on trial again this after noon. Show the people of the state that the malicious sto ries concerning the moral character of our school are false. Have a good time, cheer, and ride on to victory but do every thing in your power to keel) drinking out of the stands. -U. 5. C. Let's Go Freshmen! i the past several years, it has ben the custom for cheer leaders to tell members of the freshman class that "your class is the best we have ever seen, and the spirit that you show at pep meetings has never beei equalled." This is a good policy if it is not carried too far, but this year it has accomplished the usual in breeding a state of stag nation as far as cheering or wearing rat caps is concerned. Perhaps this season's crop of first year men does not think it necessary to let people know that they are students at the University by the traditional method of wearing rat caps. Perhaps they believe that since "theirs is the best in history," they do not need to help the football team by cheer ing at games. Be that as it may; the freshmen of this year have let Caro lina down. Although they compose the largest unit in the student body, and although they should furnish the new spirit and enthusiasm to keep the organization on its feet, they have lisplayed a total lack of interest in pep) meetings and have declined to dIon the Garnnet and Black caps that brand them unmnistakably as Carolina men. Last wveek a small group of Davidson stud(ents madle as much noise as the whole Carolina stuldent body. Today the Gamecocks tackle Clemson, and if the teamn is to (1o its p)art in bringing the wreath of victory back to our school, the memnbers of the freshmuan class aind the stumdent body13 at Caro lina must do their part in cheering them to a win. --U. s. C. Editorial-Of-The-Week (Continued from Page One) season. Games preceding this tilt have been mere buildups, the rest of the season an anti-climax. The underdog has been known to tri umph repeatedly. This year, with neither team favored, anything can happen. Ticket sales have broken all records. Every seat in the stadium has been sold-at the reserved price of $2.40. Over 1,500 extra seats have been constructed behind the goal post on the South end of the field. These seats will sell at $2 each, and when snapped up will fill the stadium with the largest group ever to witness a sports event in South Carolina. Clemson has suffered the loss of several good players. So has Caro lina. Both coaches are pessimistic over the outcome. The whole spectacle is one intangible affair which will not be settled until the game is over and its story added to the annals of this yearly classic. There will be no student fee charged for admission to the fair grounds. Athletic books will be the only identification needed. Only recently has cancellation of fees been actuated and the powers alle viating this one-time glaring shortcoming are to be congratulated. From the first battle in 1896 until today, 41 years later, the spirit shown in this game has been the peak of school patriotism and friend ly rivalry. The battles were once discontinued because of a fight be tween the student bodies but the spirit of 1937 athletic competition does not have room for such demonstrations. In both teams there will be a flaming desire for victory. When the game is over, there will be a victor irr more ways than having the larger score. This afternoon, these old rivals will meet. To our football team, its coaches, the faculty and student body, we utter one statement to be carried to the game and rememberd play-by-play as the game pro gresses: BEAT HELL OUT OF CLEMSON! ety, GAMI Founded Ji Jr., ROBERT ELLIOTT non' Entered as second class matter Noverntx I CAMPUS To BOARDJ WANT 1 BE A STAR. rAKE LAW !

C Saturday, October 2, there was a foo ball game in Columbia, S. C. The co. test was between a team of the Un versity of Georgia, the state in wh< Sherman started his "Atlanta to ti Sea" march, and a team of the Unive sity of South Carolina, a state acro which Sherman's army laid a bro path of desolation, making war wh he called it, "hell." The game w; played in a city which Sherman's ar destroyed with fire. There were sev< or eight bands at the game, participa ing in the celebration of the Univerai of South Carolina's home-coming da Taking turns, the visiting bands e: livened time-outs of the game wil music. One of the bands in one the intermissions played a tune th used to be "anathema maranatha" the whole South, but particularly the twvo states represented in the gan b)y the students of their state univers ties. That tune was "Marching Thi Georgia." Can you beat that? The was no hissing or booing.

S. C. we of the best edited papers I have ever seen. The type of news that fills the columns of our campus publication is not the cut-and-dried filler of pre. vious years. It is a paper filled witi Idetails of the campus and its person nel. I have visited the office several times and it is one of the most indus trious centers of Carolina. JThe make-up of the paper shiows varied newspaper experience. It isa Snewspaper in the strictest sense of the word, and I, for one, am proud to be Istudent in the school of which it is the official publication. It is nota publicity "rag" but an open door tc Carolina through which all can see both good and bad. The Gamecock staff this year boasts ne of one of the largest staffs in history, rThe news coverage is touching cen Sters never before publicized. These at staff members deserve praise for their non-cormpensated work. a. Little does the student realize that le each of the staff members spends 10 n to 40 hours per week on the publica Id tion. Little do they know that whien ~et they have been slumbering for four eor five hours, several members of the If. staff are tending to the duties of put an ting out Thec Gameccock. wy I may be too strong in my asser x- tions, but I feel that it is my duty as mn a student of the state university to de a- fend its publication and to point out that it is a newspaper, worthy of iy praise. To the members of the staff to and the executive members who make is the paper possible, I tender a salut< y. and drink a toast.
