FORMER GAMECOCK EDITOR
STRESSES IMPORTANCE OF
THE WAR YET TO BE WON
(Following is a guest editorial writ
ten by Captain V'arold B. Prince, United
States Army Air Corps, and a Carolina
alumnus who has just returned from
overseas. Captain Prince was editor of
The Gamecock in 1938.)
The war machines of Germany and Japan
have ground to a halt.
Allied soldiers, inspired with love of their
free lands, have smashed goose-stepping
supermen, aflame with lust for world con
- quest.
To a nation touchingly grateful for their
achievement on the field of battle, our boys
are coming home.
They are overjoyed to be back in this
precious land.
Smiles for those who return are mingled
with tears for those who found their pernia
nent resting place on foreign soil.
Some of us are saying, "It is all over."
Is it over?
Or is there something yet to be done?
Have we paid our dlebt to those honored
dead who gave their lives for the cause of
freedom for humanity?
No.
There is yet a war to be won.
It is not a war of guns.
It is a war of ideas;.
It startedl when Hitler p)lantedi dreams of
"Greater Germany" in the minds of German
* men and youth.
It startedl when Mussolini trained his
Fascist brown shirts to fight for a greater
Italy.
It started when Tanaka gave Shinto
Japanese their blue print for enslaving the
world to a greater Japan.
It is continuing flow.
We are all in this wa.
Against the fanatical dreams of reducing
mankind to vassals of enemy super-states
we must train the guns of the four freedoms.
In our wvar-torn world we must construct
a world security edif ice capable of insuring
peace and opportunity to nations of the
world.
In peace we must continue the coopera
tion with our allies with whom we share
the military victory.
We must do more.
We must extend our cooperation to afford
economic opportunity to all freedom loving
peop)les.
We must keep the torch of freedom burn..
ing brightly in the hearts of our p)eop)le.
We must help countries darkened b)y early
subjugation turn on the glad light of
freedom..
We must see that it does not (lie for want
of fuel.
These are some of the things we must (10.
This is the war yet to be won.
LET'S BACK CO-ED CIRCUS
TO RAISE FUNDS TO
RENOVATE CAROLINA CHAPEL
For semesters The Gamecock has been
cond(emning the student body for lack of
spirit. Now Thhe Gamecock commends C'o-Ind
Association for tackling the task to encour
age school spirit, making the student body
A-1 rooters for Carolina.
Through the summer Co-Ed has sponsored
weekly informal dances in front of the
library where the students became more
congenial. Co-Ed has been responsible for
the Saturday transportation by truck to
Sesqui. Co-Ed gave a watermelon slicing in
front of Sims as well as a formal dance
there. .
Now Co-Ed has launched an even more
important project-that of redecorating the
chapel.
For years the chapel has been unequipped.
The paint is peeling off the walls. The seats
are old and uncomfortable. All in all, the
students are ashamed of their chapel.
Toward raising funds for renovating the
chapel, Co-Ed gave a male beauty pageant
last week. Next week the organization is
sponsoring a circus, the proceeds of which
will go toward the chapel fund.
Surely, every student realizes the dire
need of renovation. Surely every student
will do their utmost to cooperate with Co-Ed
Association in raising the necessary money.
PLAYERS ENCOURAGE
STUDENT TALENT
ARE WE UNGRATEFUL?
Working daily and diligently in the dark,
musty shadows of Drayton Hall, Professor
Christopherson and his troupe of Univer
sity Players struggle through long, tedious
practices. Good-naturedly they build their
scenery and make their costumes. All set!
The opening night! But only a few Carolina
students straggle over to see the premiere,
and usually because their room-mate is the
hero or heroine.
Practically every member of the student
body at some time during his college career
takes a part in one of the Players' shows.
ie loves it! It's work, but the atmosphere
is delightful! He gains in poise, diction and
self-respect that enables him to become an
asset to any campus organization.
Not only do the Players develop self
assurance, but good Broadway plays are
often presented that offer genuine entertain
ment.
Professor Christopherson directs the
Players for no remuneration.
And yet we are too unappreciative to at
tend the performances. We are too near
sighted to see that we benefit by the ex
perience.
Opening nights are exciting. The Players
enjoy producing for the sheer joy of it, but
how much happier they would be were
I)rayton Hall full!
FRESHMEN, THIS IS THE CODE
BY WHICH ONE LIVES AT USC
-YOUR HONOR PRINCIPLE!
"I will be bound on my honor not to
engage in any (dishonest or questionable
p)ractices of any nature andl I will not be
the means of another's dloing so while at
the University of South Carolina."
Honor is the key-word to all of us here
at Carolina. It is the principle by which we
live-the integrity, moral worth and, above
all, our own satisfaction. To a'l the new
studlents, it's your guardian and your meas
uring stick.
You're in college now, and a new, large,
great responsibility has been placed upon
you. High school days are over and with
that you have op)enedl a newv life-College
Life.
College life will prove to be invaluable
no matter what you (do. It is the life which
we have all dIreamed of and hoped we would
have, be part of it-it's here, in your hands,
facing you face to face, begging you.to live
it, and what you take from it you replace
it through and by your honor.
The honor principle is simple! It is the
creed and the code of Carolina. You, being
part of Carolina, will live by the honor code.
The student who does not live by honor does
not b)elong at Carolina nor dloes he deserve
the comradeship and fellowship of other
Carolina men and women.
Trhe Student Honor Council has complete
jiurisdlictionl over all cases of reported
breaches of honor. All cases are kept in
comp)lete and absolute secrecy. There are
no exceptions! He who gives aid isn't any
b)etter than those who receive it.
The Honor Council has three faculty
members which have only advisory capac
ity-only the students vote. The Honor
Board consists of three male seniors, one
female senior, one male junior and one
female junior. Then the Honor Board elects
memb)ers 'rom respective classes. A chair
man andl secretary are elected by the council.
You are at Carolina; now let's live up
to its standlardls. Liv'e by our honor so that
the 137 years of men and women of Caro
lina, who have livedl by honor, will increase,
showing Carolina our honor is our highest
privilege of being a Gamecock.

Now Hear This
By Roy Bass
Before we pass on to lighter things, here is something
that we would like to get off our chest here at the begin
ning. It is understood that some of the narrow minded
readers of this column were quite disgusted with our efforts
In the last issue-particularly with the remarks we made
about socialism. We have long enjoyed the privilege of writ
Ing and saying what we think as long as our remarks were
not slanderous and malicious. In this column, if you read
it, you are quite frequently going to encounter our personal
ideas and opinions. If you agree, good. If you disagree,
fine-this shows that you are thinking and that you, too,
have an opinion. But for those of you who find it necessary
to complain to certain powers that be about the remarks
we make in this column, we suggest that when you come
to this spot in the paper that you just politely skip right
over it. ....
Rambling: A. J. Smith says that in the next war he is
absolutely not going to take any labs! . . The current $64
question as far as the seniors are concerned is, "Will we
or will we not -get our choice?" . . . Nice crop of new fresh
man gals have come to town-combine this fact with the
new ten o'clock liberty for seniors and Walsh ought to go
wild! . . . The phone service has greatly improved in the
evening hours since "grandma" has been working at that
time.
The YM and YW and the Co-Eds are to be congratulated
for the programs they have arranged for the new freshmen.
As the enrollment increases- the pep around the campus
should certainly take a turn in the upward direction. We
hope this sudden splurge of activity that is presvnt on the
campus does not play out when the ones who are responsible
for it are graduated. One way in which this can be pre
vented is to get and keel) the freshmen interested in student
affairs. In our job of orientating the new students, let's make
sure that they have a knowledge of all the organizations
that exist here at Carolina for their benefit. They must
be taught that these organizations cannot exist without their
work and support. It is true that this is all taught in the
orientation courses, but we all know that this is not quite
the sort of thing that can be learned in a class room, no
matter how well the teacher presents his subject. School
spirit and interest are something that cannot be written into
text books or diagrammed on a I lackboard or drilled into
the minds of students by lectures. School spirit is something
that is passed on by need and by word of mouth. This is
not the job of teachers or of the few campus leaders, but
it is the job and duty of every single man and woman of
Carolina. Certainly, this subject of school spirit has been
harped upon until, like the honor system, people are begin
ning to walk away when they hear it mentioned. This is
simply because the method of attack has been wrong. School
spirit and the honor system must not be put to new students
by lectures, p)amphlets or spcial meetings, but it must be
presented in a man-to-man fashion. School spirit and honor
are intangible and not to he dealt with as facts and figures.
It is our humble belief that, as far Fs honor is concerned, it
must be the principle that is taught and not the system.
The cheer-leaders are working on new cheers and are
getting things in line for the first big pe~p rally. It is up to
the rest of us to see that things ar.e really jump)ing as far
as pep is concerned by the first game. Those boys are going
to have one tough time on the 22nd of this month, and our
supp)ort wvill help a lot if we give them a rousing send-off
when they depart for D)urham.
The subject of student body meetings is still a prominent
and controversial one. The two idleas that are in the fore..
ground at the Present time are: (1) Student body meetings
to be held at regular intervals by shortening the periods in
the morning and (2) at registration time hav'e one period
of the (day, three days a week, when there will be nweclasses
for example, 10 :00 on Mondlay, Wednesday' and Friday--set
aside for chapel. We agree whole-heartedly with the second
idea. The first is certainly too complicated. It would cause
a great deal of confusion in the class schedules. Also, we
do not believe that these meetings should be. as informal
as student body meetings. These meetings should be of a
regular college chapel program nature. The program could
be easily varied so that one (lay of the week would be set
aside for a program of a religious theme, another for edu
cational and the third for entertainment. One chapel pro
gram a month should be dlevotedl entirely to a general stu.
dent b)ody meetings. For every chapel the faculty members
should be requiredl to attend( (of course, attendiance for
studIents shouldl be compulsory), and it might be a good idea
for the memb)ers of the faculty to sit in a body.
This b)usiness of chapel programs should be handled
thoughtfully andl with care. It must not be rushed for fear
that if it is not p)roperly plannedl and organized it will soon
fizzle and play out.
The YM and YW are having a retreat this weekend at
the Boy Scout camp. The p)rogram is to be of an inspirational
nature rather than ob.ject ive. This is a good idlea. We have
our plans and objectives and we know what our job 1s here
on the campus. The thing that we need is Iispiration to
carry it t hrough. A very good spe'aker has been engaged,
andl the ret reat should b)e very, worth while.
