MUCKENFUSS - Managing Editor Big Game oIsoHere Tomorrow at 2 p. in. the Carolina Gamecocks will take the field against the powerful Clemson Tigers in one of the most important gaNmes in the state. Both tes are evenly matched and appear to have suf fered only a few injuries to their men. It will be Rex Enright's debut to a state fair crowd and his first encounter with that invisible, indefinable specter known as the "Clemson jinx." The eyes of the footbal fans all over this state and sec tion of the country will turn to this game. From it should emerge the team which should prove the major contender for the state championship. This year fans will see their first state fair game in the improved stadium which now compares favorably in looks with any in the south. And trotting oit on the field for Carolina will be a team schooled in every department of the game, the product of hours of indefatigable instruction and drill. A team playing under a system introduced to them for the' first time this year, playing for a new coach whom the authorities thought enough of to award a long term contract, giving him four years to develop his system at Carolina. The spirit of fair week has already come on us. Talk of pep meetings, burning the Tiger, freshman game, and burning fires on the campus has awakened students to the realization that the big game of the year has come. With a holiday tomorrow granted them by the Univer sity, students can prepare to enjoy the game with no thoughts of such things as books or study. Sports writers give us little chance to cop the game tomorrow, pointing to Clemson's win over Tulane and placing special emphasis on their power and sustained drive. But regardless of the opinion of others as to what will happen, Carolina students will go out to the game to morrow believing and hoping that the dope bucket will be upset and that the Gamecocks will break the Tiger's string of wins and put us in the victory column again. And the team that takes advantage of all the breaks and plays footbill the whole game will probably come out on top. That's us, we hope. GIVE 'EM HELL GAMECOCKS I Watch Those Rat Caps Carolina freshmen have generally cooperated with 4 K. S. K. in their move to have all first year men wearing "rat" caps on and around the campus. Wearing a rat cap should not be thought a mark of in feriority, but rather a mark of distinction. For the cap brands its wearer unmistakably as a Carolina man. During this week there will be a bigger temptation than ever to wear the caps and show to everyone which side of the scrap we are on. But if the freshmen want to continue wearing their caps after the fair is over and the Clemson game has been forgotten until next year, they will have to exercise a little more vigilance than most of them have been doing. Every yea~r, there are a certain number of Clemson and Carolina students and a larger number of Clemson and Carolina fans that make raids on the other side and try to see how mony caps or hats they can get away with. This has been no more common to one side than to the other, and of course it would be impossible to stop it by any method known to man at the present. So when the game is over tomorrow and you go out to see the sights of the fair, be sure that you are in a crowd of Carolina fans when you have the cap on. Take it off and put it in your pocket if you are in dloubt. Or, if you are small, it would be best to lock it in your trunk at home. Charge It To Exchange In looking over our exchanges, we frequently find something written by an editor or reporter at some other school which is particularly interesting to us. Such was an article written by Alton Jenkins in the 6 University of Utah Ch/wonicle last week. Jenkins is of the opinion that all those who go to col lege may be divided into. three classes: the fun-getters, / the grade-getters, and the students. "To the first, four years in college will bring a super ficial polish and ease, a taste for light-minded witticisms and the ability to go on a binge like a gentleman. The second will acquire the ability of assimilating large quan tities of jumbles information. They will be easily rec ognized by their aptitude for taking orders and total in ability to direct others or themselves, a lack of will power and a certain mental numbness which causes them to re main paulively under the influence of any environment in which they happen to be placed. For these two groups, a college education is neither good nor bad. In sa . .lity, they have never come, to colleg, and they probably Jane THE kyeo, Jane Orout, Ito Managing dt- GAM ECO Ranarr, Martha Editors; Ed Mo, :e Sports Editors; ]OIe TUW 0 9 n, Andrew Jones.

Entered as second clas matter at the office at ol November 30, 1 Give Students Honor System Carolina students who thought that the spirit of honor was at a low ebb two years ago can now point with pride to the fact that it has been reawakened and is now safely past the danger point of becoming one of Carolina's past traditions. The spirit of honor in the class room has been crystal lized and symbolized by the new honor code, formulated by the students themselves in a time when it was apparent that something had to be done to preserve the honor tradi tion. Endorsed by faculty and trustees from the time of its inception, it has now secured the approval of students and more and more are signing the code every day. Almost four hundred students have signed the code now, and this represents an increase of approximately 100 over the same time last year. No one can deny the fact that the Honor committee has rendered invaluable service to the University by its work in presenting the code to students and making ag gressive moves to work out the various details necessary to its success. However, the Honor code, as it now stands, is only a step in the right direction. Its highest peak can be reached only when it has instilled the spirit of honor in every student, whether he is a signer or not. To do this, it is obviously necessary to revise the system under which the code is now administered and allow non signers a chance to have some part in the enforcement of the code. Only in this way will they feel that honor be longs to them as well as to those who have taken a definite stand to stamp out cheating; this is the only way that the code can grow into something more than a creed sub scribed to by those who have signed it. This is the only way that the honor "system" at Carolina can be made a product of the whole student body. Granting non-signers the right to elect one or two men from their body to work with the Honor committee would' be the best means of giving the administration of the system to the whole student body. Obviously this does not mean that the non-signers should have the power to control the actions of the committee, but it means that they should have some voice in it. The code now belongs to signers only; giving others a part would make the "system" belong to the whole stu dent body. Let's Use Dur Stadium When wve think of the word stadium we think of foot ball, and immediately the image of two heavily padded teams of men struggling for victory comes to our mind. But this is not all a stadium can be used for and if the authorities at Carolina take the proper steps in a short while the people of the state will be crowding in the University stadium to see something which bears no resemblance to football. During the past year, a program of extensive im provements has been carried on in the stadium and it has now become the finest in the state and one of the finest in the south. Is this stadium which cost us so much money to be used during football season and then forgotten the rest of the year? Is such a magnificent structure destined to lie in disuse most of the year and be opened only when the fall brings us once imore the color and glamor associated with King football? Or will those wvho have the p)ow~er of directing the use of the stadium plan to make it something more than a one sport field?i Along with the improvements made to the steel and wooden parts of the stadium has come about a general reconditioning of the quarter mile track surrounding the playing field. This has been done so well that the sta dium track which has never been used to any great ex tent is now better than the one on Davis field which is the scene of all of Carolina's dual meets at home.. Interest in track as a sport at Carolina has decreased in the past few years, but moving the dual mesets to the stadium where it would be possible to provide adequate space for larger crowds would do a great deal to reawaken interest. Students ,would feel more like attending something which is important enough to be held in the University stadium and the added prestige of having meets there would bring in more outsiders. More important still would be the possibility of mov ing the State Track meet to the home field of the state university where it rightfully belongs., This would aid greatly in making Carolina the center of collegiate athletics in this state and would give the University favorable publicity in papers outsidie the state. It would also transfrom the stadium from a football field to an athletic field, and give the University more value for the money they atspeannding In its un1reen. 938 h Mate 'j39 "CHARL U TI" cIe~kilesu d Woel ~ DL.tibutr dafty, of sou, C Kc during exan RUP048U O NA1O"AL ADVERTS *eN MY st Editor NatioW Advrt Ine.

I believe in the Gamecocks morally but not financially this year. Rex Enright can produce the stuff but I can not place Carolina in the win column until 1940. 1 0. G. Bass, Junior-Yes, Carolina is going to win (I hope). Our coaches are capable of preparing our team for the game and they are as good as Clemson now. I be lieve that Clemson has been going back since their open ing game against Tulane. Carolina has been improving and should reacli their peak about Thursday. Oscar LaBorde, Junior-Clemson will win Thursday be cause they have one of the strongest teams in several years. Though Carolina has a good team they are using a new system and are pretty green. Also Carolina is jinxed against Clemson. R. D. Brown, Sophomore-The Gamecocks will win be cause the Carolina coaching is considered the smartest staff in the South. They have a backfield that cannot be stopped as well as a p)owerful line. Watch Gryrgo go and Wally do his stuff. Tricky Owens, Senior-After having spent three years' at Clemson, naturally I am a bit biased in my opinion. However, I'm a University man now, and I.'m definitely of the opinion that this is the year for the Gamecocks to win. The morale of the team is fine, and if that old jinx can be defeated so will Clemson.* t SPEAKINM OF SAFETY ti TAKe 'Th4e WORS'TNr CHAR ACT~EQTCS *C QF THE:NAKE - ai -AN4D ALSO THe h q a C u U '-AND 'I00 HAVE g A COMPo5.ITt CHAIRACTR SjD R?AN DORweR....., a \WHO LEAVES HIS - . -d C ATINOl, Busiaes y by the Idterry Sweelleu i the Unive. th Carolina during the college year excev Inations and hoUdayv. ~WAY .. . ..........

K. far its failure to carry the plan trough, I feel it only fitting and roper that I come to the aid of that rganization. Over a year ago 0. D. sK. conceived Ie idea of sponsoring a campaign to iave a pep song written for the Urn-' ersity. We decided to attempt to aise $500 and offer this as a prize any man who wrote a song that ras acceptable to a committee of the ~udent body. We were not going to ire any one man to write .the ,song, ut planned to hold a contest, and pen the doors to all corners and if anl ceptable sang came in, pay the writer, ie $500 that we had raised. To date there has been something ver $300 raised. One gentleman as already turned in a song and re uested that this. be considered, but I. D. K. does not feel like paying ~ big price to the author of this sang'' ntil others can be obtained to comi are with it. This cannot be done ntil the money has been raised. ~ Evidently those who haye been so ' mnerous with their profound-criticism. ave never attempted to raise $500 rom a group of hard-wo'rking stun mnts. If they had ever attempted ich, 'I believe they would realize and e ppreciate the position which 0. 'D. .now holds. We were determined tO' > only one thing: either get a good' ng or no song at all. The good me cannot be obtained without the' oney. So those who are hollerint loudly may make the first contri itions. To those orgaizations wh(4 ave already been so ibera with their anations we are most grateful. Just; mcognition will be given to them 10 Ie course of time. Sincerely Frank Jrdan. President of 0. D.
