Mr. Gilmore spent 11 years in the Russian capital, mostly at the insistence of the Rus sians, since they wouldn't let his Russian born wife leave the Soviet Union. During that time he probably gained more inside information on the internal life of Russia than any other living man outside the Soviet Union. Despite his experiences under the Com munist regime, Mr. Gilmore was very opti mistic about relations with the Reds. He continually emphasized his belief that the Soviet Union was weakened by the death of Smith I To USC General Walter Bedell Smith, awarded an honorary degree here yesterday, lived up to the glowing descriptions painted by Presi dent Donald Russell. His knowledge of the world and its politi cal destiny was evident in his address to a large and appreciative audience. His back ground as a military and diplomatic figure had already been lauded by President Russell. 6ofe4iate MARRJdIAGE OF ISEPARATE, Bi (CONV'ENINE. .. . NOT EQUAL .

It's been a long series and just as colorful since its only prolonged stop in 1902 when a near riot caused a cessation of the "Big Thursday." Despite repeated suggestions from some corners to change the game to the end of the season or after the state fair, we feel it'll be a long time and a cold day before such a move is made. South Carolinians love the I unofficial holiday too much to allow a I change. Even the legislature is used to insure the,game. How can a few football fans fight thou sands of Big Thursday fans?-RNG Expresses O .0 Oplismn Joseph Stalin and the government is slowly crumbling. He said the Russians were not looking for war with the United States and would probably avoid war as much as we would. His assertion that the Russian atomic power is overestimated was another in a series of positive statements that we have no immediate fears of a war with the Soviet Union. Mr. Gilmore's statements were admittedly made at a period when he was so glad to have his wife and children free that he felt he had no more worries, hence his optimism. It's beginning to feel good, however, to hear two of the nation's best informed men on Russia express optimistic hope of peace ful relations with that country.-RNG s Added Annuls General Smith is the second world notable to become an "alumnus" of the university in the present calendar year. He joins Rene Pleven, French Minister, honored here last year, as a noted Carolina son. His optimistic outlook on the world situa tion should provide Americans everywhere with a brighter hope for peace and his pres ence here is a boost for the university. -RNG sr-old Negro-son al )ooefinl eain n rns attorney-last mta nesadn ewe right to enroll inwitancordpeos. >llege of arts and U.SDiritJugJ.key aw at LouisianaWrgtuhlTuadscoe the student-A.

"I'll hold her, you i BILL LEGGITT Those WI Don't This is the only college I ever attended, so I don't know very much about the school spirit at other universities. However, if it's as bad at other places as it is here, then the Lord had sure better help the universities, 'cause it's a cinch the students aren't going to. At the pep rally before the Fur man game, only a pitifully small number of students were present. Of course, the band wasn't there ani that would have helped some, but a band isn't essential to a pep rally. With enough students, there would have been plenty of 1 110ise. The Gamecock is limping along with a skeleton staff. The journal ism school is full of students studying to be newspaper re porters, but they avoid the Game cock offices like the WCTU avoids cocktail parties. All of them have good excuses. A few, it's true, have to work, but the others have to play bridge, go to drop-ins, wash Aunt Sadie's cat and do just about everything else imaginable. These students say, "I ain't goin' to that pep rally if nobody else goes, and I ain't gonna' work on that paper. It's no good, any- i way." Yet this same bunch would 1 be the very ones to squall like s scalded cats if they didn't have pep < rallies or a school paper. Students complain that a few students hold all the campus of fices, yet they won't leave their rooms or the canteen to vote In' the campus elections. It's true that some office holders in the various organizations are mere glory grabbers who want the prestige without the work.. On the< whole, however, they are a group of responsible and capable students who would be only too glad to relinquish some of their many offices. They realize, as the others don't, that what they arei doing has very little glory and a i Hillbilly To Best Seller Patti Page Patti Page, the best female seller of records, has run the gamut from a hillbilly singer on a 'lulsa radio station just a few short years ago to a miss who consistently hits the best-seller lists each time she sings a new song for Mercury records. While the first few months on shellac she sounded like every gal singer, (usually just like the one who had a hit), she soon found her own style. She made her biggest suc cess, via the aid of tape, on her double-voice renditions of such taunes as Tennessee Waltz and others. For three years she made about $66 weekly until she snagged her first hit, "With My Eyes Wide Open I'm Dreaming. Since then, the singer has seldomn sold fewer than 300,000 copies of any record she has made, and, of course, quite a few of her platters have gone past the 1,000,000 mark. The hullabaloo around music circles these days Is on religious type tunes. They are outselling all the ballads and upbeat songs. Success of "I Believe" started off the most recent push, followed by "Crying in the Chapel," and now Patti Page has come out with The Lord's Prayer on wax. Most of the big names have one or more num bers of the same type In the process, with some being held back t iet the net." r f C 10 Gripe Work ot of hard work. Students sitting in tihe card sec ion at the football games won't N -ooperate with the cheerleaders C md work the colored cards during he half time activities. A few nay be color blind and a few may J >e too drunk to help, but the ma ority just frankly don't give a lamn. Students sitting in the card ection didn't have to sit there. rhey got those good seats on the ondition that they help work the a ards at half-time. They've got he seats so now the card section !an get along the best way it can. There is no need in my talking oftily about this campus needing t moral rejuvenation or some such rot. What it needs is a few people who are mature enough to realize ;hat student organizations cannot work without the help and co )peration of the students. It needs ieople who realize that college is x place to prepare for life, not just by sitting in a classroom, but )y working with organizations which are much like various civic rroups in the "outside world." The campus needs students who mnderstand that college is not just our years of high living before I ettling down to the drab thing t alled everyday life. And last, but not least, the ampus needs some students who Lre willing to do some plain, un ~lamorous, unglorified hard work. ~ [hey will have to work when they ~et out of school, for they can't 5 11 be parasites, and it's a lot asier if they can get used to it lowly, and make mistakes with ut endangering their jobs.r At the rate we are going now, r ve will turn out a bunch of im nature, irresponsible individuals vrho will sit in open-mouthed be vilderment waiting for somebody I o tell them what to (10 and how t o do it.

However, the material isn't plways as great as this duo, Of course, jazz impresarios have been doing this for years. Stan Kenton will head the "Festival of Modern American Jazz" with Errol Garner, June Christy, Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Getz and Slim Gaillard. Tour starts Nov. 1, and will last a month, hit ting most of the major cities exoept New York where Kenton played a concert Sept. 20. Some of the most famous musicians poled thei- talents on a .ecent Wins a Side Bet Sir Newton was at Lady Emsquair's chalet asking the air damsel to accompany him to a party the following night vhen she suddenly asked: "Isn't tomorrow the night for the big parade in prepara ion for the jousting match with Limbo this week end?" "Yeh, I think so," the knight answered. "Well, aren't you going to the bonfire and march in the arade?" the Lady queried. "No, that's for the young, foolish knights, not for an xperienced man like me." "That's funny," Lady Emsquair replied, "last year you were one of the leading figures when the parade was held." "I know, but I was one of the' foolish ones then. I've natured since then and it would make me look ridiculous too" 'o marching all through the courtyard yelling and waving ne of those torches," Sir Newton said. "I don't suppose there's any objection to going to the arty then," she said. * * * * So during the big parade next night Sir Newton and jady Emsquair journeyed to a party and dance where they eveled until past midnight. By the bewitching hour both vere beyond bewitching. A combination of the mead and ,ther forms of worldly pleasures had made them both appear ,little ridiculous. Sir Newton became a little too boisterous and one of the Aimbo supporters came up asking him to cease the dis araging remarks about the Limbo team. One word led to nother until the two knights were engaged in a manual xposition of their respective teams. Finally the two were separated and Sir Newton proposed wager on the outcome of the big clash. Both agreed and the iarty broke up in time for the celebrants to prepare for the ig match on the following afternoon. * * * * Sir Newton and Lady Emsquair arrived at the Socar ourney ring early since this annual match always attracted nany spectators and the horses streamed to the ring for' ours before the match started. Once the match was started Sir Newton became absolutely ilent except to hurl a few disparaging remarks at the direc or of the Socar team or to qome of the Socar riders when hey would fail to unseat a Limbo contestant. While the Limbo supporters cheered, the Socar supporters eered. Iventually the Socar team won, however, and the upporters of both teams filed out. The Limbo supporters valked with downcast eyes since they hiad lost to their big ,est foes and it meant another year of being jeered at by he Socar supporters. Sir Newton was a typical Socar supporter. Once the match vas over he praised the play of the Socar team, collected his 'ets and unmercifully poked fun at the Limbo supporters who vere feeling bad enough already. "The thing I can't understand," said Lady Emsquair, "is vhy you are such a great supporter of this team after the :ame is over while you run it down before and during the ame. You don't take part in the parade because you say it nakes you look ridiculous, yet you spend the same time naking yourself ridiculous in a different way." "What are you talking about?" Sir Newton growled. "You know what I'm talking about," Lady Emsquair re >lied, "but I just don't understand how you and the rest of he Socar supporters think."
