From today until the fnal whistle of Thuz day's gridiron classic, Carolina and Clems students will be given the "keys to Columbia This is a friendly gesture of the city coune merchants, and citizens, and should not abused. The Gamecock feels that it cannot be r iterated too often that students are not different species from ordinary Columbia ai South Carolina residents, and thati studer are fully liable for any breach of the pub: peace. In the past the city has allowed Carolina ax Clemson great freedom in "taking over t town" the night before the annual footbi clash. At times students have violated t privilege extended them by residents of t capital city. Innocent pranks and actions pc formed in the spirit of good sportsmanship ai fun will be considered as such, with policem4 probably joining the jocundity. But violations of the laws of the communi will and should be handled with full seriou ness. False fire alarms, throwing fruit al rocks at automobiles, and other like actio will not be tolerated by civil authorities. 'he Gamecock is not accusing anyone, n does The Gamecock believe that students w go beyond the limits of common sense and qo judgment. It's possible to have a lot of fi and stay within the bounds of law and pub decency. Your newspaper offer this as the preventi ounce to eliminate the curing pound. Le1 fight hard-on thle football field. Student Union Reincarnate That rather questionabie and intangible < ganization, the Student Union, has come light again, this time in the form of a stude lounge in the basement of Maxcy college. For several years each student has been dis ing out fifty cents to an organization that e isted in name only. Money hIas been piling in the Student Union so long the members the board are thinking of declaring a divider Seriously, University students have been si ing "student union" for a long time wi tongues in their cheeks. The Gamecock pleased to see something being done so ti: everyone can see where his money is going. As The Gamecock understands it, the loun will be furnished with newspapers and mag zines and will be available for dances and p~ ties after 6 p. mn., all of which is sorely need by the student body. The Gamecock commends whoever is sponsible for this rebirth of the University South Carolina Student Union. Drinking Is Banned Again this year student leaders of both C blina and Clemson are requesting spectat not to drink at the Bird-Tiger gridiron cla Already Kappa Sigma Kappa, honorary serv fraternity of the University, has passed a re lution asking students not to drink. Clemi is doing likewise. The Gamecock heartily endorses this m< but thinks it is hardly necessary. In ree years drinking has been less noticeable at athletic contests. Somehow you just don't them~ anymore, the fellows whose eyes stare nothing while their brain whirls with the &bx J6nn't of whiskey. The Fieshman, Then And Now ' GUEST EDITORIAL -By Dr.F. W Bradley, dean of the college of arts and a member of the class of 1907 Outwardly he is very different. Then he wore a full suit of clothes includ a vest. Moreover he kept his coat on. To sure, in the year 1906 there did appea1 pouple of them on the campus catching b ball, but they did not catch baseball long, the worthy president, Major Benjamin S1 - saw them through the window of his office informed them that being without a coat - beneath the dignity of a gentleman on t campus and that catching baseball was tr fined to the athletic field or to the rear of tor - tenements. Their trousers had pockets but they did, keep their hands in these pockets. Dr. Joyi who usually made a talk to the students ab rer once a year, warned them especially aga tor the slovenliness of walking about with tl hands in their pockets. The old doctor we have his little joke and say, "If you must hands in pockets, be sure that they are in y own pockets." id They wore cuffs which were starched E )p and' held out the sleeve of the coat at a spectful distance from the wrist. Some of ti i actually wore morning trousers (gray strip >n ,, with a blue coat and vest. I doubt if we e know what morning trousers are these di be The collar was either standing or turned do but the turned down collar was just as higli e- the standing collar which averaged about i a inches.

In the place we assume the Tiger calls the editorial column, several rather disparaging remarks were made on Carolina students' answers to the very simple question, "Which bowl game do you think Carolina's football team should play?" After taking every opportunity to pat themselves on the back by inference, Tiger editors closed with the statement that grammatical errors were courtesy of the Gamecock. To all Carolina students-When you pray tonight for Britain against Hitler, and Democrats against Republicans, add a fervent prayer that by some miracle of power we can BEAT HELL OUT OF CLEMSON. To the Tiger-We have to do our crowing for Carolina now . . . Later we have to eat the crow . . . P. S.: Grammatical errors courtesy of Ben Tillman.
