"Carolina does not want a man Rike Willkie in the White House." Baker declared. "In his campaign to date, he has Proved himself unworthy of the honor and responsibilities at the head of this nation." The Student Forum, usually a non patrisan group, is taking sides in this matter because "we believe it is dangerous to change horses at this time," Baker said.

Gamecock Gridders Receive Welcome From Student Body Warriors Greeted By Band, Blatt And Prexy At Early Morn Meeting The "spirit of '76" had noth ing on the spirit of '40 in the eyes of every Garnet and Black wearer after seeing the early morning spectacle staged by Carolina students last Sunday. War, Willkie and women were all forgotten giving away to thoughts of a gallant Game cock grid team returning from an honorable 27-21 defeat at the hands of the mighty Duquesne Dukes of Pittsburg. Reveille for the first time sounded on the campus at 6:30 a. m. Drummer Sol Blatt, Jr., with the aid of one of Mr. Saw yer's highway horns, created a fifth coulmn atmosphere for several minutes, but after re peated calls students came pil ing out of the sheets, "just to be patriotic." Dean Olson went so far as to permit the band to join the merry mob at this early morn ing hour. Marching behind the military tune, singing and chant ing college pep songs and yells, the Gervais trek was under way.
