Campus Tri Appear On( After Long By BEN M Staff Rt Have you noticed anything lately? Surely you couldn't h garnet and black trash cans enormous cans were once paint the appropriate statement, "Fe( Recently in an almost vain ef fort, phone calls were made to nearly every campus official "Where did the new trash cans come from? Why are they painted those loud colors? Why were they at first painted purple and gold? And why were they removed prior to the Carolina-Clemson game and repainted?" All of the above questions and many more were tossed at campus officials - including janitors, policemen, and the Dean of Ad ministration. Finally the Superin tendent of Buildings and Grounds, Mr. J. T. Stradley, was inter viewed. Here's the dope! During the time that Admiral Smith was Dean of Administration the need for trash cans became evident, and they were purchased and distributed about the campus. Then some Carolina students got the bright idea that the cans should be painted Clemson's colors, and, ingenious as Carolina students are, they insisted that "Feed the Tiger!" be painted on the sides. The Maintenance Department, after impetuous insistence, had no other choice but to oblige. How ever, the cans became weather beaten and were later removed from the campus. This year the new administra tion, realizing that such an effec tive mechanism had worked suc cessfully in the past, brought the cans out of storage. They were again painted purple and gold and distributed in an effort to main tain cleanliness about the campus. Just before this year's Big Thursday event, the trash cans were again assembled and re painted-only because of the need USC Literaj Have Glori By DEW JAMES Staff Reporter The almost unique literary so cieties of Carolina are as old as the institution itself. A few weeks after the doors opened in 1805, and the first students began their studies at infant South Carolina College, the first literary society was founded. This was the Phil omathic Society, and the names of nearly every student at the new college was on the rolls. In part because of the large membership, and in order to stimulate competi tion, the group was divided under the leadership of the Lowry brothers of the Chester district. The story goes that James and Joseph Lowry met on the campus and tossedl a coin for first choice, and chose by name the students who were to become the charter. miembers of the C lariosop)hic~ anid Euphradiani Societies. In the Old South, no accomn plishment was more highly ros pected than that of oratory. Many of the youth in the new societies were dlestinedi to become politicians. Often the youth heard speeches by visiting dignitaries. in May, 1847, Daniel Webster addressed the stu dents. He spoke in such a lacka dlaisical manner that some of his auditors declared that the youth who introduced the renowned speaker made a better speech than "Black Dan" himself. Slavery; A Favorite Querry According to Prof. Daniel Hollis' firs-t volume of the history of USC, slavery was a frequent topic of debate and1 discussion in the halls of both societies. The Clariosophics voted twice in (is favor of the institution in 1809. However, this s'tand was not con stant until 1849, when they be lieved the issue to be settled. It was believed that slavery' would never be abolished, and the topic was declared to be nlo longer suit able for discussion. On the issue of slave education, opinion was about equally divided over the years. On the eve of the Confederate conflict, in 1800O, the Clariosophies advocated the pas sage of a law by South Carolina requiring all free Negroes to leave the state or become re-enslaved. The Euphradians were in general less liberal in their outlook in regard to slavery. Emancipation was usually unfavored and slave education considered unwise. The right of a state to nullify a federal act was generally upheld d tsh 'Cans e Again Absence ELVEEN porter unusual around the campus ave missed those whopping, Did you know that those ed Clemson's colors, and with d the Tiger !", on their sides? oif a second paint coat. Since the use of Clemson's colors had been -riticized, and obviously with little insistence from the student body, the cans were painted Carolina's colors, and "Feed the Tiger!" was neatly dropped. The superintendent related that only four cans were now in exist enee on the campus, but that plans were being made to purchase others. He al.' suggested that students might urvey the campus and aid the Maintenance Depart ment in determining where the new cauns should be placed. Certainly the student body at Carolina cannot fail to see the mnormous loud boxes, splattered with Carolina's garnet and black :olors. Inl the future some thought should be given to the cleanliness ,f the grounds, and the obsolete, ,ut appropriate statement, "Feed the Tiger!"
