They also ar beginning to wonder if a necktie wouldn't hav been more serviceable than membership in literary society at Carolina. Both the Euphradian and the Clariosophi societies have degenerated from the old stan dards. Their Greek nonenclatures is all tha is left of 'these traditional citadels of orator and politics. To speak tritely, they have fallei into a sort of innocuous desuetude. Gentl; they sleep from election to election. . . . The men's literary societies at the Univer sity were founded in 1806, and both have en joyed long and' glorious histories until th present. On the age-yellowed rolls of botl organizations may be found such names a John C. Calhoun, Wade Hampton, Charle Pinckney, and James L. Petigru. But thos were the ante-bellum days. . . Today the Clariosophic and Euphradiai societies discuss mainly one topic: politics Apparently they have divorced themselve from anything that might be called "literary. Polities is 11 right, but alone is not enougl to justify the existence of the societies. Probably what both groups need is new an( morebrans.Colrfulgens l!!etheclaric sophie's "Silver Tongue" Diincan and the En phradian's Stokes Davis injected life into th meetings and provided the members with de bates that were real debates. The Gamecock believes that both the Clario sophic and the Euphradian societies would di roaring days when many students packed mnor punch in their speech than the boxing tean in its gloves. 'Alibi' Is The Word Last week, before the Armageddon of Au burn, the Clemson Tiger said in its editoria column: "Bowi talkers over the south hay been sitting up nights beating the tom toms fo Q lemnson. This talk and ballyhoo has not bee1 going out from Clemson. .. You big bad sportswriters shouldn't do suci things to Clemson. Of course, Tigertow: never mentioned the word "Bowl." But just the same, if Clemson had receive< a bowl bid The Tiger and Drum Beater Slher man wvould have been totally responsible. The Gamecock feels that, in the first plaec South Carolina and Auburn should be ashame< for keeping Clemson from a bowl; and, in th second place, sportswriters should be spanke< for putting out all of this "bowl talk." Jus who is guilty is questionable, but certainly i was not Clemson's fault. Signal Honor The Gamecock points with pride to Dr. W H. Callcott, professor of history at the Uni versity, who last week was awarded the Alber Shaw lectuieship in diplomatic history fo 1942 at Johns Hopkins University. After t'he completion of his six lectures3 ii April, Doctor Callcott's studies will be put~ lished in book form. The University's author ity on diplomatic history is the first historia: from the Southeastern states to be honore, with the Albert Shaw lectureship. The Oamecock feels that students of th University are extremely fortunate in havin $he privilege of studying under such a widely known scholar in Latin-American history. Certainly Doctor Callcott's selection for th 1#09lectureship at Johns Hopkins is a signa hsaft. ta UTniversnty Open Letter To kof. pdiard Perter Horne-of the Uri versity Psychology deportanent: 4 Doctor Iforne, a. Gamecok reporter took the - liberty of caling by your office at the begin ning of the current semester to get into print any announcements you or your department mnight .have. He stretched this liberty over several weeks (calling once each. week) until# at your request, the visits were discontinued four weeks ago. Early this week the same reporter diire garded your "no trespassing" sign and stormed r your office for news again. Again he was - asked to discontinue his visits. The Gamecock does not know what your o reasons are for not wishing ,to talk with a reporter. According to the reporter, however, you have offered n6 reasons. The editorial department of The Gamecock assures you that the reporter did- not seek to impose on you without reason. He was merely covering his "beat." The Gamecock further hastens to ask you and the psychology depart ment that the next time you'Want information to reach the student body, please ,send - the L notices to us by mail. A Greater Gift Prof. Floyd Rodgers' class in radio tech nique has just completed writing and produc ing a number of "spot" announcements to be used in promoting the Christmas seal cam paign of the Richland County Anti-Tuber culosis association. Several of these brief one-minute dramatic skits have been transcribed and will be used as fillers in the daily schedules of radio sta tions WIS and WCOS. Others-15 minute shows-will be presented by members of the radio class at scheduled hours in the next two I weeks. Every citizen, every student, is familiar with the story behind the Christias seal. Your purchase of $2.00 worth of the )rightly-col ored picture stamps will keep a patient at the Ridgewood Tuberculosis camp for a day. The Gamecock wishes to join Professor Rodgers and his radio class in urging students and citizens of Columbia to join the army that is fighting the "white plague." See that all your Christmas packages and letters bear the stamlp-symbol of your participation in the bat tle to rid our people of tuberculosis. The Second Step Th e student-facul ty comm ittee to recomn mlendl reallocation of the student activities fee reached the second step of their five-point4 program this week. By extending invitations to all campus orga iizations or individual stu dents, the committee fulfilled p)romise number two in their reallocation plan. Dean John A. Chase, Jr., chairman of the - committee, this wveek asked, yea, urged, all I studlents wvho had suggestions or sample re 3 allocation plans to p)etition the committee for a hearing. Next week the hearings are ex pected to begin. .The Gamecock thinks the committee is act 1 ing very wisely in asking individual students i as wvell as delegations from organizations to aper.before the reallocation group. Stu I dents who are dissatisfied with the p)resent - apportionment of the activities fee should1( speak up now. Do not wait unitil the coin , mittee has coipleted its job and grumble for I two years about the unfair distribultion of the a fee. The committee is urging you to act now ! Why Journalists Die Young "The typographical. error is a slippery thing and sly, You can hunt till y ou are dizzy, but it some .how will get by. - Till the forms~ are off tihe presses it is strange t how still it keeps; e' It shrinks dlown in a corner, and it never stirs or peeps, ,That typographical error, too small for human - eyes; - Till the ink is on the paper, when it grows to i mountain size. 1 The boss he stares with horror, then he grabs his hair and groans; .4 3 The copy reader drops his head upon his hands and moans .

Thanks to mother nature, Castles statement is slightly be hind time. Football. Fadeout Our nomination for 1942 All-American honors is Quintuple-threat Stan Stasica (rui, pass, kick, great defensive work, and generally! scaring hell out of the opposition) . . who, if he never plays another game, should leave from the Penn State game a hangover of. glory into next year sufficient to do the job. More credit yet to a hard-charging line, which has meant the scant margin between victory and defeat more than once this year .. point ing especially to Bobo Carter and Louis Sossaman. If we can keep the boys id uniform . . . and we don't mean khaki. . . there should be profuse glad hearts and probable bowl bids around the horseshoe next year. Keys To The Kingdom Key kingdomen of the campus this week and every week, in addition to Y leader, R..Glenn Bell, are Carl Baskin, Nevin Betts and Virginia Cardwell. Credit for last week's polor speil by world roamer Sir Hubeit Wilkins goes to the triumvirate. Doubtless much of the religious emphasizing has also been due to the trio. Objection Overruled, to keep,its reputation for cynicism, addi' only this jarring note. Why do they always get the privilege of 4 sitting on chapel rostrums and such? Must we join the Y or start a victory league to get a clearer view of all campus pulchrittd' ' Perhaps we should join Bell's kingdom key-chain gang. Huck Hooked "Huck" Babcock, son of Dr. Havilah Babcock, and former Sig Nu man of the campus, has fallen prey to the wiles of the fairer sex at last, according to reports from Dr. "Bill" Draffin and Claude Creason, Jr. both alumni of the University. Last report from Babcock had him in the hospital, critically ill. If descriptions of the Babcock bride are true, a general campus move may be toward the infirmary. Brass Tacks Not Intact Brass tacker Donald Graham Merrick, whose legendary re mark, "I gotta quit all this studying and get down to business," was written in the annals of the Gamecock hall of fame has ap parently reached the culmination of his efforts. "Why do I feel like I feel?" questioned cupid-trapped Meirick, U as he discussed plans for seven o'clock breakfast with a co-ed, who set Merrick off on a new 'tack.' lligh school chsatter columns plcaae copy. Vocal Boys Make Good Unsung lungs are those of Gamecock cheerleaders Kat Edgerton, Lolly McCants, Horace Traylor, Billy Hoerger, Dick Young who hollered themselves hoarse at every home team appearance. This in addition to credit lines above to the team. . . . Having seen most games away from home this year, we have noted a lethargic attitude on the part of other student bodies as far as cheering is concerned. Even after our defeat seemed imminent at the Penn State game Cheer leaders were calling for one more yell for the team. Which should prove something ..... .that cheerleading is yell. Callcott To Hopkins Keen history professor Callcott will lecture six times this spring to graduate intelligensia at Johns Hopkins . . . Catching Dot Hope napping in class, he once snapped satiri cally . . "we want no closed eyes in this class, even for deep think ing such as Miss Hope is contributing. .. " Possibili:y that Hopkins thinkers will sleep is small. Most won't know such vital diplomatic facts as how heavy a suitcase full of Mexican silver dollars is or how cowpokes made cigarettes popular by rollin' their own. Sweatman Sweats E. W. 'Duck' Sweatmian, last year's business manager of the Game cock, has been employed by an advertising firm in Newv York, accord ing to communications addressed to Dean S. C. Depass and the State Company printing office force. After a career of campus canvassing parallelinig that of suit-purchasing Booster Ed Patterson, Sweatman should find naive New Yorkers easy prey to his suave tongue. Address libel charges this paper.
