Sam Boylston You Students Could Give Carolina Lots Of Support! A mpeeting of student leaders and a rep resentative group of the faculty and ad ministration was held last week to discuss plans for activities preceeding the Caro lina-Clemson game. Results of the lengthly meeting show that this representative group does not favor the traditional shirt-tail parade down Main Street on the eve of the annual State Fair classic. It was recommended by the group that all pre-game activities be confined to the campus proper in keeping with the pro gram set forth by joint action of the Blue Key fraternities of Carolina and Clemson for the promotion of better relations between the two schools. The Gamecock is highly in favor of the "better' relations" program and wishes to cooperate in any reasonable way towards the materialization of such a plan. We be lieve that the average student on the Caro lina campus wants better relations with Clemson and is willing to do his part toward making the project a success, but by the same token we feel that the students are no different from any other football fans in American colleges. Something will be taken away from them if the pep rally is confined to the campus. Not only is something being taken away from them, but such declarations as "... prevent a repetition of the vandalism in last year's demonstration," and .. . the burning of the Tiger is not the proper sportsmanship to display before any school", are direct "digs" into the pride of students of Carolina. We feel that fundamentally Carolina stu dents are not vandals. But whether this is true or not, the confining of organized ac tivities to the campus will not keep those who are "let down" by the change of events from showing their colors on the night be fore the big game. In the support of a better era in the Caro lina-Clemson rivalry, a script dance is sched uled at the Field House the night before the game. The dance is sponsored jointly by the Blue Key Fraternities of the two schools with the hopes that better relations between Carolina and Clemson may be initiated. The idea behind this move is to engender a spirit of friendliness between the two schools, which is the exact opposite of what Now Read This Official Organizatio (Editor's note: All announce- tober 21.

Ac cording to them, the Carolina students will become a drunken mob, and sweep down upon the city of Columbia lile a plague of locusts. But, they fail to take into considera tion the fact that Carolina is what its stu dents make it, and that last year the greater part of the damage done to the city on Clemson eve was not inflicted by university students, but rank outsiders, cashing in on a great, opportunity to transfer the blame to someone else. This group has taken its stand, one which is opposed to Carolina's taking part in any activity outside of the campus. The Game cock takes a contrary stand,, believing- that the majority of university students will be opposed to this action, believing that the majority are in favor of continuing this pep-parade as a perennial preliminary to the Carolina-Clemson game, but above all, be cause we think this adds to the game and its atmosphere, rather than detracting from it. The Gamecock doesn't think Carolina stu- r dents are responsible for the damage done last year. It doesn't think it will happen ti again. But it, does believe that to restrict e student activities to the Carolina campus P on the eve of the Carolina-Clemson game is wrong . . . very wrong! a What do you, as students, think? What Does Caroliia Think I of Confined Pre-Gaine Rallys t The Homecoming game with Furman last g Saturday afternoon was one to be remem bered. We won! Every Carolina student D hopefully expected the Gamecocks to. But there is one thing certain. Our team could never have won that game, had they not h put forth an effort to cooperate with each other on each play. Nothing can ever be accomplished without cooperation! Thdcheerleaders, too, must cooperate with each other to lead you, the students, into cheers that can be heard many miles away. If their actions are not perfectly synchron- u ized, if they appear to be anything less than 0 a perfect group of cheerleaders, the entire t' student body notices-and comments. 0 But what part must the students them- h selves play during these games? Who is to criticize them if they make mistakes? Or P don't cooperate? The public, the football Si players, and the cheerleaders. Better than e, anyone else, during a football game, the cheerleaders know the complete lack of co- n ,operation among the students at the Uni versity of South Carolina. F They are able to see the so called gentle men who are too drunk to offer anything but trouble. And these "gentlemen" come from the Law School and the post gradu- t, ate schools, as well as from the academic school. They are able to see the comedians who line every row, who delight in folding g the heavy cards passed through the stands a into airplanes and sailing them into the air g to descend on somebody's head. Each of ' you were instructed to keep these cards by ~ the head cheerleader. Cooperation. Humph !! r And then, even the cheerleaders saw the one and only man, who was once the presi- d dent of the student body, get up when Presi- E dent Norman Smith was delivering the ad- I dress to the newly-crowned Homecoming e Queen, and drunkenly boo him. Students, the members of KSK, the Boost ers Club, and other service organizations, ask c your cooperation in the future to mak.e these home games a colorful pageant. They will ~ do the hard work of organizing these card a tricks and other things if you will cooperateb with your head cheerleader, when he issues instructions. It's all up to you, studlents. ______B.

PILLOW To POST There's nothing like travel to keep a fellow broad-minded, so we'll take you on a little trip to the land of the trade winds. (Everything's commercialized now-a-days.) You know-Hawaii, that place where it's Illegal to carry conk cealed Tawnmowers. We give you now an example of poeti licentiousness entitled: HILO,,HAWiAII, HELLO A'trolloping in Frisco one day, we o'erheard a man say, "That in lovely Hawaii The leis are always free." And to find, if 'twere true, We sailed upon the blue With dreams of gay Waikiki. Five days hence 'twas said We'd view Diamond Head. (Hey there! Oahu?) They fed us all on goat meat While we were on the boat. And that great Pacific ocean, It sure did get my goat ! Five days we heaved along To,the gulls' triumphant song. (Truly fowled- up the place.) They followed our trail As we hung upon the rail. By the time we had crossed We knew that all was lost, And we didn't know whether heads was tails. On bringing in the barge, -The dock we -did ram. The shock was quite large. But we didn't give a darn and went ashore and dropped 'W in on Gibson's 'Upstairs Bar for a beer. Duely tanked, we made for the beach at full speed, but were -gravely disappointed, for it was only 30 feet wide and filled with rocks. The Kaeakas were gracefully skimming over the water on their surfboards. It looked interesting, so we rented a . surfboard and tried to ride the waves. It was so rough, how ever, that we spent most of our time communing with Triton and Minnie, the Mermaid. (Something's fishy here.) A little shrimp, floundering around, pushed a card shark off his perch and he fell flat on a bass and shut up like a clam, even though he had been bruised like shell. Although we smelt trouble, we haddock fish him out sand dune what we cod for him. So we reed him in, coraling for kelp. Someone trouted, "Is there a sturgeon on the strand ?" "Shad up," squid a local urchin. Herring our call, the sturgeon finnily arrived, scaled the reef, crabbed the shark, and gave him some coquina to eel the spawn. That didn't work, so he conched him on the scal lop and almost croakered himn. Salmoning up our courage q we persuaded the piker to quit fiddlering around and leech him alone. Miniiow an hour swam by. and we had a whale of a lot of trouble, but let's don't carp on that. (Anchovy finnis.) Next day we decided to take a bus trip (sea-going Grey hound) down to Hilo on Jane Russell island. While checking in at the Naniloa Hotel we saw a young Kanaka maiden come tearing down the stairs, screaming, "My God! Hart, Schafner, and Marx sure fooled me!" There was a tremendous commotion outside and rushing to the door we observed-a bevy of women protesting the new Mainland styles. They were carrying placards bearing the inscription: "Styles may come And styles may go, But this is as long As the grass will grow". Most of them were members of the "Anti-Grasshopper and Locust League". Their motto was: "Way down yonder where tlhe grass grows tall. We don't need no skirts at all". On the curb sat little Miss. Moppet chewing her cuds and hay. (The whole bunch of them were deathly afraid some one would mow them down.) They said that dinner at Volcano House is quite the thing so we treked up Moana Kea, one of the twin volcanoes. Lo and Behold!i What did we see but twin sisters and their lava. "My," we exclaimed In one voice, "what an odd combina tion !" "How so?" snarled one, lisping, "We were room-mates." Ahoha, Baby. Campus observation:. Probable sight for burial of the Carolina-Clemson hatchet --midway between the ears.
