WEEK'S PHILOSOPHY
I'd would consider marriage if I
weren't sure I would be satisfied with
it.
Dog lovers are people with inferi
ority complexes. Everyone has to be
important to something and it's easy
to be important to a dog.-John Held,
Jr.
A certain professor has enough
weakness of character to be charming.

MISTAKES
When a plumber makes a mistake,
he charges twice for it. b<
When a lawyer makes a mistake, he t
has a chance to try the case
again.
When a carpenter makes a mistake,
it is just what he expected.
When a judge makes a mistake, it "
becomes the law of the land.
When a preacher makes a mistake,
nobody knows the difference. ir
When a doctor makes a mistake, he
buries it. p
When an editor makes a mistake, he
sends it out for the world to :0
see. Wow!
ALONE AT LAST
Before I hear the doctors tell 0
The danger of a kiss
I had considered kissing you
The nearest thing to bliss.
But now I know biology,
I sit and sigh and moan;
Six million mad bacteria
And I thought we were alone.

Gamecock's We
University school spirit is often the
lbject of heated debates on the cam
as and on street corners in all parts
[ the state. Ve are all rather familiar
ith this subject. Some say there is no
:hool spirit at the University and offer
irious suggestions why there is none.
We were rather curious to know what
ie opinion of some of the students were
i this; an important question. A num
r of seniors were asked this question:
Why can't the University of South
arolina have school spirit and cheering
the football games, etc. like other
hools?" Of course we got varied an
vers to this.
I lere are the answers:
immy Thomas, Senior
"Ten per cent of the law school are j
raduates of other colleges and they have
spirit for Carolina. They do not
:l1 at the games because they don't
ant to. They are the oldest students
id have great influence over the younger
udents.
"One person can throw a damper over
small crowd and those yelling are made
feel silly by the the looks of. those
o "dignified" to yell. Usually those
>o dlignified to yell for school will for
et their dignity in other places. In
cad of letting persons too lazy to yell
ifluence others, the others should let
iem know what they think of them.
'letcher Spigner, Jr., Senior
"The University student body can offer
acceptable explanation why it doesn't
lpport its own football team. The only
me we yell and really encourage the
am is when a spectacular run is in
ogress, or after a touchdown has been
ade-in other words, when they don't
ced encouragement. At present we are
sing games. Those boys need our sup
)rt now as never before, and we've got
come across. It isn't right, nor is it
ir, and what's more, isn't it cowardly
desert."
aul A. Smith, Senior
"The school spirit at Carolina is as
ncere as you will find at any other
hool. Every Carolina student loves the
niversity, but I firmly believe that the
ason for lack of display of spirit dur
g football games and etc.. is traditional.
'hat we need is a revolution in athletics.
'hen a change (for the better) takes
ace in Carolina athletics there will be
outburst suppressed enthusiasm that
ill be heard through out the county."

Bill Simpson, Senior
"Carolina has some of the best poten
ialities as far as spirit is concerned, but
for some reason they have never been
leveloped. It seems that since the days
f Earl Clary, when spirit was at a peak,
he cheerleaders elected have not been
:apable of holding the students together.
)ur cheers are ones that most high
chools use and certainly no originality.
Then too another major cause of the lack
)f spirit is that the student body wants
mly to support a winning ball club. They
iave no desire or interest in a team that
