Welcome back to our campus, sons and daughters of Carolina ! The Gamecock would like to take this op portunity to join the Alumni Association in welcoming you to Homecoming. It's a great pleasure to see you back. This Homeecoming weekend is yours; we .hope your stay will be filled with enjoy ment, as well as memories. From tonight's pep rally through tomorrow's game and dances, you people will be in the spotlight. Many of you may not recognize Carolina as you used to know it. But changes became imperative as time went on. And with the years Carolina came of age. She's a pretty big girl, now. Our enrollment is the largest in our grand 142-year history, and the campus is filled beyond credibility. But the one thing that you remember most about your years here, that quality of camaraderie and spirit that - rdrolina instills in her children, is still here, a till unchanged. We hoe thetrou will take an active part in these Homecoming exercises, and that you will also make yourself at home on the campus. This is still your school, and the chance to renew that old acquaintanceship with it is now yours. Visit its buildings, visit your old room, talk with its youngest sons and daughters. And join your old classmates tomorrow at the stadium to watch us knock the breath out of the Hur ricane. Once again, welcome home, alumni! May you always be close to us, "with loyal de votion, remembering thy days." We hail thee, alumni!

During that period, Doctor Taber. became recognized as one of the mdst outstanding men in his chosen field. He has written two books and scores of articles for leading scientific journals, and on numerous occa sions has been commissioned by scientific groups to make geographical studies and- in vestigations of specified areas. Last week, after 35 years on the univer sity faculty, Dr. Stephen Taber, head of the geology, mineralogy and geography depart ment, voluntarily retired. Doctor Taber requested his retirement in order that he would be able to devote his full time to research. So, after 35 years of able and faithful service to the university and to the state of South Carolina, Dr. Stephen Taber leaves us. But, wherever he goes, whatever he does, the well-wishes of Carolina will be with him. Council Proposes Idea For Seating JV Fair Week Fans Last week, a question came up before atu dent council concerning the seating of stu dents at a proposed junior-varsity football game on Melton field the night before Big Thursday. In substance it is this: Melton field seats roughly 5,500 persons, only 1,000 above our present enrollment. To bring a team down for the game would cost the university nearly $1,000, and with stu dents occupying almost all of Melton field on their athletic cards, paying customers would be reduced and the university would run into a loss on the game. Therefore, it was suggested that the stu dents of the university declare themselves willing to accept seats on only one side of the field, leaving the other stands open for paying fans. Students would be admitted to only one side of the field on their athletic cards and if, by strange coincidence, we managed to fill up one side completely, late arriving students would stand in the end zone. This junior-varsity game is only one high light of an entertainment-packed week. But it has a worthy purpose. It was designed to hold the Carolina crowd together from the pep rally through the dance, and keep some of you out of trouble. It was to take the place of the freshman game, which used to be played annually on the night before the Clemson game. But, most important of all, it was designed to provide you with another source of entertainment, and help make your fair-week more enjoyable. The Gamecock takes an arbitrary stand in predicting that the student body will accept this proposal. But it feels that what the council is asking is not at all too much, and that the men and women of Carolina would make this small sacrifice in order to see an other game that week. Are we right or wrong? Gamecock Will Publish New Constitution1 In Next Issue Last spring the student council appointed a committee to dIraw up a new student body constitution to outdate the one now in use. It will soon be ready for distribution. This constitution must be approved by the student body, and then by the faculty and board of trustees, before it can be rati fied by the council. Next week The Gamecock will publish this new constitution in full. Read it, study it, become familiar with it, because you will soon vote on it. And an acquaintance with it is essential for an intelligent vote. ni Announcements second floor of you students; and try out! Every bodIy's welcome.

Chickei By CORKEY CORLEY This is supposed to be an ex hange column, as some of you )righter people might have gath -red from the title. When it was ianded down to me last spring, hat title made some sense, which s more than I can say for it now. kny how, what I'm leading up to iaying is that none of the other mapers have come through with inything worth repeating so far. (No offense meant, Tiger.) The main topics of discussion rom Florida to Purdue deal with :1) record breaking enrollments, md (2) lower hem lines, which ire, in brief, the ups and downs >f campus life. P. C.'s enrollment s up to 476, with only 13 coeds, o the problem of long or short sn't quite as marked as up Pur lue way, where the campus is rroaning under the pressure of 8,000 feet. Strangely- enough though, the )eef of the Purdue Exponent's ditors is not long skirts, but blue cans and sweatshirts. They ar ,ue that war shattered nerves and nale standards of women should iot be made to suffer by having o watch girls in pants! And in c lorida they prefer the Biblical 1 owns women wear to formals, he "low and behold" kind. t %OW, TIGER!

Purdue has partially olved the dilemma by allowing nly those students who commute o park their cars on the campus.

In olde Englande there lived a maiden headed for ruin, but not for long. For also there was a certain Lord Charle tan who had the makings of a great B.M.O.E. (Big Man of the Empire, of course.) This lovely mistress was Ember St. Clair-Hot Cinder !! One spring morning Lord ,harletan glanced out of his win low at the magnificent scenery. He yawned, "Oh, it looks fine out today, think it should be out all day." As he arose and dressed (I'm so shy in the mornings) his thoughts nat uirally revolved on Ember. He thought of marrying her even though he had been around. (When he was -twelve his father sent him abroad). A guy's got to travel to get ahead. Education's a wonderful thing, and now he had Em ber. And Ember-Oh, what a torch ! Blonde, enticing, warm, inviting-she was really a peach and was a classic dresser. Jeeze, ya shoulda seen her last night. She had on a dress that looked as if she had been poured into it-and run over. (Ah, those robust days!) Charletan quickly dressed (why, we'll never know) and lashed off to make his date-Ember, of course. He didn't quite make it. "Dammit," she snapped. Pastoral Scene Yes, times were in those days, which recalls to us a cer tain farmer, Aloysius Free, who also had difficulties. His wife, Minnie, had a birthday and of course Aloysius, as hus bands usually do, forgot the event. No birthday cake! What to do? He was desperate, for his wife was veritable virago. It was too late to get to town. In an attempt to gather l4is resources he bundled up and went out into the freezing weather. In a daze he drifted down toward the barn. Huddled together in the barnyard were one calf and two freezing cows. Suddenly Aloysius' eyes fell upon ole Bossy. (He ignored Mable, her sister, for she had jumped a barbed wire fence and been utterly destroyed.) His face lit up for he had a novel plan. Bossy mooed to Mable, "You lucky dog ! Here comes 'Old Icy Fingers.'" The rejuvenated farmer tugged the buxom bovine from the privacy of the barnyard, up to the house, and into the parlor. Proudly he called in his wife, Minnie. There lay Bossy flat on her back. "Happy birthday, Minnie," shouted the elated farmer. 'Many, many returns of the day on your fortieth birthday 1" (Sounds like a lot of bull to me). While passing the Hopi Reservation (times are st 1 bough) last summer, we decided to take a chance on an I - lian blanket. (We aren't sure what we got yet). So e Iropped in to sample the local wares. We had a hard time flaking our choice and it grew late. Presently all the braves, were sleeping in their pup tents. It had really been a lean ear because the antelope and deer had almost disappeared. Vtany an Indian maid didn't know where her next buck was ~oming from. Next day we journeyed on to Toothache Hollow, the 'oughest, toughest town in the Arizona desert. Most of theV >opulation was stewing about in the "Bout Shot" saloon. He entered and heard snatches of the conversations. Wish ng to keep abreast of the local topics, we eavesdropped and >verheard that the area was terrorized by an outstanding :emale rustler, Big Jane Bussell. You ought to have seen sussell rustle up a calf ! She was also a brigand of renown md had busted up the fun in many a saloon. We wandered over to the bar and began drinking in the ocal color. The milling crowd was terse with excitement. .short, well-spirited, patriotic hombre (Sure, he was pa riotic. His eyes were red, white, and blue), was whipping he crowd into a lather of hatred and fear, for this wil voman was laying waste to the countryside. Suddenly the doors swung open and as natural as life, Lnd twice as big, stood Big Jane Bussell. "Watch out," someone screamed, "she's got a pair of "Yeah, and she's got guns, too."
