A Great Week Made Greater By Your Full Cooperation Following last year's pep rally and parade preceding the Carolina-Clemson clash, bille poured in to the university from many Mair Street concerns, bills for damages supposedly inflicted by Carolina students. This year Main Street "battened its hatches" in preparation. But after the pa. rade and tiger-burning, all the university received was commendation by the Columbia Police Department who reported no inci dents, no damage, only a very peaceful show. ing of our school spirit. The Gamecock wishes to commend the entire student body for the gentlemanly mariner in which it conducted itself on Big Thursday eve. Our showing was a credit tc the University of South Carolina.

Part of the credit for this snowing aho1 deservedly go to the organizations wh: were instrumental in putting on the evei of this better relations program. Part sho1 go to Admiral Smith, Dean Bradley s other members of faculty and administ tion who willingly gave their time and ergy to put this program across. But by far, most of the credit should to you, students, for the way you hand yourselves the entire time. It was a gr week, made successful only by your full operation. The Gamecock is proud to be "crowing: a now more than ever greater University South Carolina." The Gamecock Explains Its Policy On Letters Earlier this week The Gamecock recei' an unsigned letter to the editor. Seve times before that it has received lett signed "Carolina Student" and many otl anonymous titles. Thus time has come for us to expl the regulations which should govern a letters column. Letters which are not signed cannot printed in The Gamecock. To most of y this reason is obvious. Unsigned letters ca not be verified, and there is no method determining its legitimacy. For this reason, letters which are i signed will receive no consideration by i editor. A writer who refuses to sign name attaches little importance to his idi anyway. It is the student who is sincere is willing to sign his name to his letters v will receive first consideration. Letters are especially welcomed by I Gamecock and will be printed impartit and without regard to The Gamecock's sti on any controversy. However, letters which expound perso prejudices or those which contain libel, or dangerous statements will not be prini The Gamecock reserves the right to dei mine which letters may fall in either these categories. It is hoped that the Letters To The Edi column will, at least to some extent, k in bringing problems and matters of coni versy to a point of understanding throu out the year.

He received an intelligent answer, thanked the boy, and then said: "You're a bright lad. Do you know who I am?" "Nope," was the reply. "Well, I'm the preacher who is holding revival meetings In the tabernacle. If you come to my service tonight, I'll show you the way to Heaven." "Nuts," the newsboy exclaimed. "You don't even know the way to the postoffice." A LESSON ON SPEECH MAKING .. . "Be sincere; be brief; be seat. edl"--Franklin D. Roosevelt. The Editor stones, he had better look around, or he may see many more flying back at him. I agree with him that something should be done, but I think that his charge was not justified. If all Carolina students had at tended and yelled with the vigor of an upperclassman named Skinner and both cheerleaders, instead of lust going to the dance, the noise could have been heard all over Columbia.

It started back when it was necessary for Le co-eds to have four men escort her to a ball. One was to mnce with, one to guard the bustle from attack, one to run ter chasers, and a stand-by with the smelling salts. Since the men at Ole Miss now outnumber the women, Ltes are to be realized ad community property unless de ared otherwise by a pin or ring. And "bird dogs" must be :cepted as part of a date.
