The Razing Problem
Efforts have been made this year to reinstitute the old
custom of hazing freshmen. This is indeed an old and honor
able custoid practiced in universities everywhere. However,
the situation got out of hand a few years ago and hazing
was abolished in every state school in South Carolina.
Frankly this writer can't see the need for state laws and
university regulations designed to teach a group of adults
the rules of ordinary decent behavior. Such laws do exist,
however, which prevent hazing on this and every state
college campus in South Carolina.
Physical abuse should certainly be abolished. Several situ
ations have arisen in the past at South Carolina institutions
which resulted in embarrassment for the administration
and sometimes even serious injury to students. These things
of course are dangerous and should be prohibited. It seems,
however, that some mid-point could be reached whereby
freshmen could be initiated into the University without,
raising the ire of the administration.
This column suggests that one week of the fall semester
be set aside for the formal initiation of all freshmen. The
week of the Carolina-Clemson game would be ideal since
the campus already has an air of gayety and festivity. Under
the guidance of the Student Council which would be in charge
of all arrangements and violations set down for the week a
series of events could be planned which would enliven the
campus. The hazing program, or rat parade could terminate
with a big program before the game started between the
Birds and the Tigem.
Such a program would add to the already festive air of
this week and would fit in nicely with customs already estab
lished as a traditional part of the week. There are some big
husky freshmen around who would make fine bell-ringers.
If hazing is to be brought back at all some such organiza
tion is a definite necessity. Uncurbed, the practice of initiat
ing freshmen would soon degenerate into the monster that
it was at one time and would soon be abolished again.
A Word About Pop Meetings
The pep meeting last Thursday was most encouraging.
About 2000 students were present as Coach Rex Enright
made a short talk and then stood by as the entire football
team was presented to the students. It was the finest dem
onstration of school spirit that has been on this campus ini
recent years.
Tonight the Student Council is hoiding another pep meet
ing. It is to be feared from talk hoard around the campus
this week that an old, old story is about to be repeated.
School spirit after the loss to Furman is definitely on the
wane. That's a thing that has often happened in the past.
The Birds play a fairly good ball game and the students
begin having pipe dreams. For a week everyone is happy
and the football team is Idolized. Then the next week every
thing goes wrong. The Birds are sloppy and the students
withdraw their support.
Perhaps this is a common affliction with student bodies
everywhere. It would seem a more practicable, and' happier
solution, if the students could meet each game with the
same sense of good fellowship that goes into a pre-seasoni
pep meeting. So let's all go out to the rally and cheer the
Birds on to their best efforts against the powerful North
Carolina Tar Heels tomorrow.
Incidentally look for a good show tomorrow. Charley Jus
tice and his mates are one of the most colorful teams in the
country. They bring to Columbia one of the most talked
about teams ever to hit the South. Also the Gamecocka
should be up for this one arnd ready to battle the Tar Heela
right down to the finish line. None of the smart money
favors the Birds to come within three touchdowns -of the
North Carolinians but it wouldn't be too much of a shock
to see the Birds make a close hard-fought contest of it.
Enright has had the boys working hard and except for
a couple of injure theGaemecocks should be ready to go.

the team should have aseupggsted fron last week's injuries.
