A Comumn
The women of Freshman Women's Dormi
tory have the right idea about campus living
and how to govern it in their dormitory.
They have organized the dormitory and
elected six hall managers to represent the
respective halls on a dormitory council.
The two-week-old dormitory council
headed by a president already has estab
lished and begun enforcing its own regula
tions concerning time limits of Lelephone
calls and radios played at night. Sugges
tions for additional facilities in and around
the dormitory also have been drawn up and
presented to officials for action.
All these things have been brought about
in two weeks. And if this is exemplary of
the work dormitory organization can ac
complish, more should be heard from the
group soon.
Right To Con]
Another fall term, another election day.
To some that's all election day means
just one of two times designated each year
for the election of class officers, campus
queens and any other vacant position which
bears a title. Perhaps this is all it means to
the indifferent and negligent who shuffle
past the polls taking time out only to catch
a glimpse of the hustle and bustle around
the voting tables and ballot boxes.
But to others, electing officers to guide
the class through the coming year is a seri
ous business worthy of thought and con
sideration.
Monday, Oct. 21, will be another election
day on the Carolina campus.
Freshmen will name their class officers

dable Idea
The one r.:eeting of the entire dormitory
body undet student leadership was well
attended. Respect and esteem was shown
during the meeting for the dormitory presi
dent. Most of the students were enthusiastic
about the organization's existence.
Organization stemmed from the election
of two women to represent the dormitory
on a committee to discuss woman students'
dress. With the ai'l of the housemothers,
the idea was fostered and developed.
Truly the organized dormitory is helpful
to the students. It gives them a feeling of
unity within their own halls. It also gives
them the opportunity to govern themselves
regarding dormitory problems.
Perhaps the upperclassmen can take a
lesson from the freshmen and setup dormi
tory organizations throughout the campus.

For the freshmen, it will be a first venture
into campus politics and campus elections.
To many upperclassmen it will be just an
other election day. That's all.
Attendance to the polls in past years by
freshmen and upperclassmen has been poor.
Usually, one-third of the Otudent body turns
out to name leaders. Then following elec
tions, a large number of non-voters begin
complaining.
Remember, a student has no right to
gripe or complain about the outcome of the
election or the work of the elected if he

re: your letter Oct. 5, 1951
your meal Oct. 25, 1951
Dear Editor:
"In view of the trouncing given South Carolina
by I)uke University and the trouncing given Presby
terian by Clemson's Tigers, we feel assured of a vic
tory on Big Thursday; however, you undoubtedly feel
the Tigers will triumph."
In order to further relations between the Univer
sity and its country cousin we would like to revive a
tradition of the past participated in by editors of THE
GAMECOCK and TIGER.
However, due to the fact that the top executive
position on our staff is occupied by a lady, the gentle
men of the staff according to the Southern code of
chivalry must bear the brunt of culture versus agri
culture.
It is for this reason, and this reason alone, that
our noble editor, Miss Melba Corley, does not issue this
challenge. We, in her place, hereby challenge a like
number of the more respectable members of the Tiger
Staff to present themselves suitably dressed with clean
feet, shoes and socks, salt and pepper and sufficient
copies of the latest edition of your illustrious journal
if such is still in publication at the Wade Hampton
Coffee Shop after the Carolina-Clemson game, Oct.
24, 1957.
At this time the appointed representatives will
masticate the editorial page of their publication. We
have heard various and sundry rumors that the Tiger
"Rag" is the South's most interesting college news
paper; no doubt it will soon aspire to another laurel
the South's most indigestible.
"Tiger stew if you do!"
Sympathetically yours,

Purrs Ar(
From TI
Let's see now. This is the
third semester I've been knock
ing this bit out on a weekly basis.
During this time, some of the
work has been fun and some of
it has caused me to sweat blood.
And over the three-semester
period, a lot of people have come
to me with ideas and topics for
columns. Some have been good
but the others, well . . . maybe
it would be best to forget those.
But it seems that all of them,
both good and bad, have approxi
mately the same theme.
Crusade. Attack. Cut. Blast.
And so it goes.
"Say Something About . . ."
The comments range from,
"Say something about the ad
ministration" to "Why don't you
blast that Slater System?" Non
fraternity or non-sorority groups
say, "Cut those social snobs" and
the Greeks and Greekettes offer,
"Tell 'em how lousy the rush
system is" or "How about wen
tioning something about the way
they control our parties." Radi
cals and leftists get upset and
ask, "Investiga'te the Student
Council and unleash on the mem
bers." Student leaders retaliate
with, "Say something about the
lack of student participation in
activities." Homeless want the
housing bureau blasted. The
jilted want males or females cut.
The ticketless cry for better
ticket disbursement. The intel
lectuals say attack the pseudos
and the pseudos beg for an in
tellectual scathing.
Some Cries
As of late the problem has
been on the integration or segre
gation kick. Some of the cries
have been, "Give them niggah
lovuhs hell" or "Tell those nar
row-minded so-and-so's where to
get off."
This could go on forever. And
it will.
That's the nice part of it. We
can disagree. We can argue.
But sometimes I wish I could
be an isolationist. Just stand

Why Aren't
The Nighi
On the night before our Game
cocks were defeated by the
mighty Blue Devils of Duke, a
pep rally was held for the stu
dent body. For the hundreds of
you who never attend these pep
rallies and are not familiar with
the term - it is a gathering at
which everyone yella "beat hell
outta . . . somebody." On this
particular Friday night, only a
minute portion of the student
body attended and little pep wvas
demonstrated. In fact,'many left
the rally with less pep. In any
event, the rally was a flop and
the next day our team was the
"somebody" that got "beat hell

Up Clemson Way
I see where our country cousins
up Clemson way are } aving prob

be a trouble, lack of enthusiasm ( )
among the Rats to be Rats seems
to be bothering the Clods, and
Miss Majorette has turned out
to be Priss Majorette.
Let us observe:
Their parking situation could
be done away with if they banned
tractors from the campus. But
then where would they park their
mules?
I've never seen a Rat, not even
a cornered one, take orders from
a "eat-head," and I don't think
they will at ol' Clemuns.
All the deliberation over the
baton-twister of last spring,
seems to have given Carolina a
lucky break. Some of the Clods
don't appreciate her nose-high
sophistication. Twirl away, baby,
we'll win the ball games.
They are also having a prob

Lack of enthusiasm at football

The Eyes of Texas were on

big and bright, deep in the heart

But please, fellows, for our
ulcers' sake, don't wait around
until the fourth quarter any
more. It's almost too much for a
nervous man.
You There

it is believed that the general
concensus would be that it is
simply beyond the realm of physi
cal possibility to hold Caro-l-i-n-a
for 163 counts.
We can yell Carolina, and we
can take it slow--or fast-but
we cannot shriek I-i-n-a for such
a lengthy duration.
Your Move
llave you ever attempted to
purchase a coke in the Gamecock
Rloom betwveen the hours of eleven

attempt will be futile. There are
7,961 students yelling for ham
burgers, B. L. T.'s and orange
juice. And if by some slight
miracle you might possibly ob
tain a coke - there are not any
chairs in which you may be seated
while drinking. . . . Your move,
Mr. Slater.
Earn PTF Credit
The parking situation at Caro
lina has always been critical to
the students. Apparently It does
not seem critical to the Columbia
Police Department. On Sumter
Street between the exit of the
Horseshoe and Pendleton Street,
parking meters have been In
stalled.
If a student uses one of these
parking spaces and has two con
secutive hours of clash . . . he
gets a ticket. Therefore the solu
tion is, (10 not park in these
sacred spaces. But where? The
p)arking problem is becoming so
acute that perhaps the University
should give P. T. credits to
everyone owning an automobile.
our decisions under the influence
of our family, then we must
change. We must cut the "silver
cord."
The most important facet in
making up our minds is equanim
ity. We must be fair to our
selves and to our parents. If we
follow the line of truth, the dis
approval we have faced will be
changed into sincere plaudits.
There will be a new freedom in
our minds and hearts. We will
be able to think and work better.
We wvill become as the man
that, when realizing his oppres
sion for the first time, began to
fight for what he believed. This
is the belief of our generation.
This must be the idea that we
face the world with, for we are
