But 1 W ike Iare of ppaible similar circumstances, i r ashov4,meAd our constitution to make clear i eieligibility of stuent body officers. ' : AA amendment, stating that a stude4t to be t iligible"to run for student body president must s hi been registered at Carolina for at least, i 14t semesters and must have enough scholastic i credits to be eligio o for graduation at the end e bf his term of office, would settle the matter. i CROWING FOR CAROLINA i THAT'S THE MOTTO; 'WFLL L1VE UP TO IT Upperclassmen will notice that The Game cook'e motto, "Crowing For a Greater Caro lina, h'as been put back in our front page name plate. It's been absent for a number of years. This paper's policy this semester will be to a live up to that motto and to back it with every a stroke of the typewriter keyboard. Specifically, The Gamecock will not criticize Just to be criticizing. The editorial policy will be to offer something we believe better for everything -we criticize destructively. Further, there are things drastically wrong c ou this campus-things which should be cor- t rected. Some of these things The Gamecock t will discuss. Others it will leave alone. We E have learned from experience that sometimes criticistn, even though just, does more harm i than good. If any student or professor has anything to e say about conditions at Carolina, he or she i should address a letter stating his case in de- i cent language to the editor. The letter will be y published, if signed, and will receive courteous i and respectful attention. 8 i WAR PETITION SOME PROFESSORS ASK CONGRESS C I FOR IMMEDIATE WAR ON HITLER Certain faculty members are circulating a petition. A product of the Fight For Free dom committee, the document asks Congress to declare war on Germany immediately. Ae Ga*ecockc doesn't know how many pro feGors have signed. Those who do sign, how ever, are asking Congress to remake the mis-t (take of 1917. Certain professors are subscrib-r ing to a petition designed to kill students they now teach how to live. It is ironic that University faculty members who ought to know better are seized with war fever. It is grimly humorous that well-in formed persons- indulge in the pickanniny game of quarrel-picking. It is significant that most of our professors are above draft age. This newspaper is for all-out material aid to Great Britain. Last year your present edi tor and managing editor sponsored a co-ed football game which raised funds for British relief. This paper will sponsor another proj ect for the Allies later this fall. The Nazis c must be crushed. * However, Th. Gamecock questions the ad visability of American participation in a shoot ing war on the following grounds: j- 1. Our armed forces as yet are unequal to modern war. A hastily-trained civilian army ecainot repeat the successes of 1918 'over veteran %'blitz troops. W.Out navy will not be ready for two-ocean1 k)2,defnse fore another two years at the earliest.

"Full and final authority, subject only to the uthority -of the Board of Trustees, to decide ny question of policy affecting the contents of 7h,e Gamecock is hereby vested in the above kamed committee, if the need for exercise of1 Uch authority should arise. - "The Committee shall choose a chairman rom its membership. "The Board of Trustees is of the opinion that 7h,e Gamecock should be more closely con Lteted with the school of journalism and, ac ordingly, directs the above-named committee o formulate a plan to accomplish this objec ive and to report it to the Board of Trustees .t its December, 1941, session. "The Board further directs the committee to nyvestigate the possibility of making some ar- QL angement whereby the writing of news and I ditori *als for The Gamecock may be organized Th< nto a laboratory course or courses in journal- ani sm forork in which members of the staf Un miay receive due academic credit. The Board 3 of the opinion that granting such credit for ing uch work under proper supervision and organ- are zation would be desirable, proper and just." larl The Gamecock welcomes this change. The oaper will continue under the banner of free- sity tom of the press guaranteed to it by the reso- ide ution. If the terms of the resolution are car- b ied out, the student body will have a news- losi aper of which it can be justly proud.. The but ramecock staf pledges itself to uphold its >art f nhe ari.

Clasping his mother for a moment affec ionately to his breast, he turned and rushed blindly down the steps. low can the dear reader expect young Sidney to see clearly through iis sorrowful tears-and the old man's red flannels which are size or o too big. Tremulous thoughts ran through our hero's head as the powerful mnibus approached the institution of higher learning to which he would levote four budding years of his life . . . "Wonder if beer costs riore in da sout'? . . . Wonder what da crip courses is? . .. ." Unknown to our hero, persons had heard of his coming other than he local constabulary. No sooner had he become established in his ooms than a knock came on the door. "Have you got a cigarette?" a voice inquired, "You have . . . ,ood . . . let's pledge him up, fellows, he's a good boy."

CASTIWATION OF THE WEEK Only utmost scorn and bouquets of skunk cabbage to whoever *0 said without authority that the students wanted two chapel days instead of one. Instead of crowding chapel with students, as was hoped, the canteen Is again considering the sidewalk cafe answer to the overpopulation proble'm. While griping, we throw this in the direction of Secretary Ickes and doubt that It will reach Its object. Please note, dear sir, the fact that Canadians are not rationing gasoline . . . and they didn't have any to begin with . . . probably due to a lack of politicians in the monarchial form of government. * * * TOLY ORDERS Editorial Orders To The Staff: ORDER NUMBER THREE: The Gamecock will make no attack up-. n other colleges unless the university is first attacked by the pa per epresenting that college. ALL COLUMNISTS WILL PLEASE OLLOW THIS ORDER ... ORDER NUMBER SIX: Order number three is hereby amended. ['he Clemson Tiger has made an attack on U. S. C. students. It's as ild as the Tiger's, fleas, but nevertheless, an attack. Colunists may astigate Clemson at their leisure, but all other colleges must be re pected. IT'S OPEN SEAS,ON.

(University of'Texas Daily Texan) A member of the orientation committee's "big brother-big sister" group was much chagrined recently to write a friendly letter to an alleged pros yective freshman and to receive in reply the following remarks: "I sure was thrilled to learn that there is somebody down at Austin wvho is going to take a personal interest in me... "You know those dial telephones are enough to scare anybody. And :axis. Do you know how to hail a taxi? When you get on a bus do you . tell the driver where you want to go? "Are you'll wearing them saddle oxfords this year? Papa bought me some from the supply house. Two pairs!i Are there many sweater girls there? I seen some in LOOK magazine..
