Happy All-American St. Patrick's ACP Rating Day19474-49 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA CROWING FOR A GREATER CAROLINA Volume XLIV, No. 21 COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA, MARCH 17, 1950 Fudd10 Stude Gamecock Takes App Officers Include Johnston, McDade By JOB MOLONY Don Johnston, sophomore from St. George, was elected president of the newly formed "Gamecock Pep Club" at a meeting of the club's charter members Monday afternoon at McKissick Library. Other officers elected were: Charlie McDade, Columbia; vice president; Martha Petty, Colum bia, secretary; Sam Sorota, Dor chester, Mass., treasurer; and Joe Molony, Charleston, sergeant-at arms. The club's constitution, modeled after the University of Florida's, was officially endorsed and ac cepted by the Director of Student Activities, George W. Tomlin, Monday afternoon after having been passed by the club Friday. Several suggested changes by Tom lin were made in the final consti tution drafting Monday. Johnston, a cheerleader, collabo rating with McDade and head cheerleader, Bill Dominey, sug gested the idea after attending a meeting of the Southern Collegiate Spirit and Color Conference Feb ruary 17-18 at Gainesville, Fla. He noticed at the meeting that of the aineteen schools participating, Carolina was the only one without an organized pep club. He brought a copy of Florida university's char ter back with him and presented it to a group of interested students. The Gamecock Pep Club resulted. Any and all students who are at least sophomores on the campus are eligible for membership in the club. However, membership is limited to 2% of the student body. The Pep Club was organized in order to stimulate spirit in student body activities, to present the card system at football games, to super vise pep parades and rallies, and to work in cooperation with the cheerleaders and various campus organizations in attaining this end. "The Athletic Department is all for this idea," Coach Rex Enright said upon being told of the club's formation. "It will mean a lot to the boys, knowing that the student body is solidly behind them. You know, those fellows on the playing field need the students' whole hearted backing. It should im prove team spirit tremendously." Chuck Prezioso, speaking for the ballplayers, had this to say: "It's a darn good idea. If this club can keep the student body as enthused as they were during bas ketball season, it should go over big." "It's the shot in the arm Caro lina needs," George Wright, student body president, said. "It should've happened long ago." Plans have been laid for a pep rally at the Field House next Fri day before the intra-squad football game when the Club will hold its first organized meeting. Coach Enright and several other campus1 dignitaries will address the club. All students who desire to join the Pep Club are requested to fill in the form below. Selections will be made by the 14-man (and dwoman) group of charter mem bers. Nominations will be received up until next Thursday afternoon. New members will be announced at the club's first meeting Friday night. Please fill in the form below and return it to Box 8096, Campus. Name ....... Campus Address Class Standing .
