Lste PAUL LEAGUE ................ Managing Editor - Here's Your Welcome, Perfunctory, Of Course Perfunctorily, we welcome to the Univer sity the boxers who are competing in the Southern Conference tournament this week end. It is for the South's best newspapermen who have come to cover the matches that we save our enthusiastic salaams. You see, we are planning on getting in the newspaper business ourselves. And, soon. Enright Asks Students To Act Like Gentlemen For Boxing Tournament Coach Rex Enright has asked that the Caro lina student body try to act like gentlemen for this one week-end. le is referring to the yelling during rounds and booing of decisions at boxing matches. Of course, Coach Enright put it a little more diplomatically in his statement to The Gamecock. He said that lie "hoped the stu dents would show the sportsmanship of which they are capable." It all means the. same thing. Stop yelling during rounds and let the decision of the ref eree be final. It's tough but even we promise to quit it. If the yelling persists it may go bad for the Carolina boxers. As the host team, they may be penalized for; the crowd's boisterous ness. Think it over. We Again Insist That The Social Regulations Are Absolutely No Good We would like to risk becoming monotonous by repeating that the social regulations now in effect accomplish nothing and irritate 600 fraternity and sorority members. No matter how stupidly we present the sub ject, remember that. It may become our theme song. Anyway, we are going to discuss the matter from time to time and maybe suggest a simple solution later. Here's a point worthl considering. On week ends, the students are going out for some fun. This will have to be admitted even by the most acetic faculty members. If there is a dance, they will go, especially if it's a free dance given by a fraternity. Script dances are seldom successful at Carolina (So cial Cabinets excepted). But, there are only a few fraternity dances under our new system. Therefore, tile studlent must go elsewhere for pleasure. We know of some good honky-tonks. They may not be quite decent but thley are fairly en tertaining. At least it's better thlan acting like a high-school pupil every week-end by hlanging around a Five-Points' dIrug store. Also, we have hleard that students park on1 dark roads. Even that becomes boring after so long a time. WVe could describe other things Carolina stu dents do when they have nothing else to do. But, even a broad-minded person wouldl not like to see a pub)lic discussion of them. Our thought for the week may be put this way. It's better to have entertainment which can be supervise~d by the University than turn a student body loose every week-end. Social Note Last nighlt we went out to one of the lhonky tonks on the out-skirts of Columbia. We wanted to chleck the facts which were usedl in thle editorial about social regulations. Here's how crowded the place was wvith Carolina students. When we got there the doorman gave us a six-shooter and said, "Get in if you can." We declined. Persona1 Note If many more of our friends make nasty remarks about the editorial page and policy of The Gamecock, we will be forced to devote this column-end every week to defending our personal virtue and to calling them bad names.

ROM51 Entered as To The Law Students We Give Our Usual N'yah, N'yah, N'yah The faculty has passed a ruling which kicks the law students right where they wear out their pants and right where they should have been kicked long before. Beginning next semester, no law student or graduate student will be eligible for debat ing or oratorical activities at Carolina. These fields will be open only to undergraduates. This is a good rule and here's why. For years the law students have been mo nopolizing the debating team and the orn torical contests. Undergraduates have been forced to compete with boys who have already had four or more years of experience. The re sult is obvious. The purpose of having debating and oratory at the University has always been to give ex perience in the art of speaking to those who need it. Debates are non-decision anyway, so there is no danger of losing face, as Confucious say. The law students will not suffer. They can orgonize their own contests, etc. We regard this ruling as definitely pro gressive. Maybe next, we can run the scoundrels out of student body politics. Miss Caroline Goggans Asked For It; So We Try To Do Our Best Miss Cairie Goggans spoke to us personally about giving the girls' discussion group a lit tle publicity. We would like to do it. It seems that the group of young ladies dis cussed "How To Fall In Love Intelligently" If they came to a conclusion, The Gamecok would like to know about it. We never have been able to maintain even a semblance of intelligence while falling in love. And we doubt that any of the young la (lies who attended the meeting have been any more successful. But, there is no objection if tile girls want to talk about such subjects. Trhey're better than dirty jokes and( it would be nice if they could per'sumade themselves to act intelligently whlile in love. We hope that Miss Gioggans is satisfied andl( thlat her (discussion group is successful. We Refuse To Think That The Communists Are Very Radical We see muchl in the newspapers today about the Communists in the colleges and universities. T1he American Youth Congress, which has some good ideas but seems to be a stinking organization, is currently having a struggle wvith its Communistic element. The American Student Union ruined itself by not condemning the Communistic invasion of Finland. And, all seem to think that the Communists are radicals. Jack Woodford, author, hlas a new slant on this question of radicals. We found it interesting. Woodford says-'"The most rea'etionary party in thle United States is the Communist party. It will not for one minute tolerate radi calism of any sort-. Somebody has to object and yell, or civilization would stagnate; and the Communist party of all political parties in the world today resents and would if it could completely put down free speech which is the author's life blood-. The Communist party shoots radicals as fast as they lift their heads in countries where the Communist party has control." It's just a matter of definition, but we, from now on, refuse to think or speak of the Corn-, munist party as radical.

Don't be disappointed if we failed to put your name in this week, but a new policy of printing only the nicest things about people more or less prohibits news about most of the members of the student body ... StarU Hemingway, rMiniature version of a big-shot, fell out of bed Wednesday and knocked out two of his front teetk. . . At least that is the way he says it happened...

Our thanks to Lib McDavid for sug. gesting it, but we can't find a single thing to say about -Ed At kinson, complimentary or otherwise... To V. Jackson: Your be-' loved Claudius is slowly, but surely, drifting in the direction of a certain Greenvillian blonde... Can't much blame him though but wie wonder what bespectacled Paul Sansbury will say about it. . . Cute gal Gerry Shapiro, who claims that Pres. McKisgick's speeches sends thrills up and down her spine, has taken to floor rolling in an effort to lose width. . . Would suggest that she read what Dr. Kingsley has to say on the subject. . . Believe it-or-not story of the week: The top floor of Tenement 12, which shelters three academic students (not law school or otherwise) can boast of having 15 "A's" at the end of the first semester. . . One lousy "B" managed to slip in, however when black sheep ishi George Prince failed to study the full 15. hours for an exam . . . And Kappa Delt's Linda Copeland mistook pipe-smoking Billy McGarrity for a prof. . . 'Tain't true though, even if be has been around here long enough to obtain a professorship. . New handle for law school scholar -T. 0. Dukes is "Toocums" . . . best gal friend did the branding. . . Glamour boy Bill Dworkin has turned cowboy after all efforts to ride Mehlraan's plastic dog failed on the night of the Phi Sig shindig. . . His would-be bronc is Wade Hampton's mount. . . His strongest drink that night: Double chocolate soda. . . There must be something to it for Jack Olark has at least two pictures of venus-like Pat Jeter on his chest-of-drawers (piece of furni ture). . . nad room ilate Bob McCrady has a like number of blonde Jean Gibbes' likenesses. . . If the society editor will pardon us we'd like to go high-brow and write the following: (Hold your nose) "Pud" Fry has one of the prettiest spring suits we've seen yet. . . It is a plaid of the loveliest pastel shades and so very becoming to the Bunker-trailing fem... To the Editor: Just to let you know that we're saving sev eral copies of last week's rag in case you ever get rich. . . Then we 're gonna sue the-out of you fog slander, libel er sump'n ...Participants in Wednesday's infirmary bridge tournament were Lanny Lofdahl, whose colon appendage (appendix) is giv ing him some trouble, Jnla.n Detreville, with a ditto ailment, Sonny Bowman, recovering from a leg operation, and Sonny 's sister, Mickey who is well and happy, thanks. . . If you should wvant to catch up on the latest jokes (very clean) see W. P. Baldwin about signing up for one of the Y.M.C.A. deputation team trips. . . Florentine Elting Chapman says that that too many dates with one gal puts boy in one track romance and de cided to ask somebody else besides the red-coated brownette for a date. . . The above announcemenit should come as a relief to Jack Davis. . . But he still has to overcome the romance of the Clemson jungaheer. . . Our vote for the nicest telephone voice of the 'week goes to Serena Foreman, who, in spite of her ex tremely good looks, has a collection of pure dust in her mail box. .. Now to hand out some bouquets. . .

And then to Mrs. Moon at the post-office, whose job of keeping up with all the studencit and administration 's mail is not such a pleasant one . . . For many years of real service, we salute you, Mrs. Moon ...The next slap on the back goes to the business staff of this paper which has worked nite and day all week to make this week 's ten page paper possible...

Nettles, prominent Columbia at torney, andl President McKissick, when they were Harvard slim dlents belonged to a group wvho played Kelly pool Saturdays iin the Harvard student union from just after breakfast until the poohroom closed -at 11 p. m. and who had their meals served them while the game was going on. . . An~ A. T. 0. meeting of the German Club was held Wednesday p. m. . . To Majorle El liot: We hope you'll pardlon us while wve wonder why in the heck we can't figure out some masculine name to connect you with. . . And to Marjorie Cooper: "P.P." offers thanks (via print) for the cute valentine. . . Speaking of valentines, the comic ones that went to Marion Glenn, Elinor' Flinn, Pat Jeter, Paulette West and others sure did hit home. . . Won't be long nowv until baseball season will be underway and perhaps we can find some fern who doesn't mind being in bad company long enough to go to a game with us. . . If you haven't heard A. C. Lyles make a speech you've missed something. .. Undoubtedlly A. 0. is one of the best student speakers on the campus. .I . The King-.Kennedy photog business bit the dust. . . If you want to see your best girl friend we'd suggest that you stand in front of a local moving picture concern and wait until the show is out. . . One particular movie this week attracted practically the entire feminin poain.
