Cock's By BOBBIE ROTHBERG Staff Writer Did you know that the Game cock you will see tumbling on tb field, creating spirit at the Home coming game, actually blushes There is a lot that you don't knoi about this talented "bird." Bob Dowdeswell, a freshma from Spartanburg, S. C., loves i tumble, and he found that bein the Gamecock gives him a chan< to perform. Being on the field dui ing the varsity games and helpin the spirit at the games is very e. citing to him. Tumbling is his firs love, and during the past fou years, he has competed in tumblin and coached tumbling in summe camps. He also started much in terest in tumbling in SpartanburE During high school, he traine in a private gym club in Chai lotte. In order to do this, he ha to travel between Spartanburg an Charlotte on weekends. In h: senior year of high school he wa unable to travel as often as h had, so he began swimming for h school instead. He did very wel and he may swim for the Unive: sity later in his career here. H work with the Thespians in hig school helped him to get rid of little of his stage fright and b( come more of a "ham." He said I still gets a little embarrasse when he starts his antics on ti field during a game. In Sarasota, Florida, he went 1 the National Gymnastic Clini There he had the chance to trai with and be coached by ti Sanctuary High Men For Birds By PIN CUSHION The colony of Academia is jus a city. This colony, which is a bir sanctuary, is controlled by its lor proprietors; however, it is grante a limited amount of self-rule b those proprietors. The limited self-rule of Aca demia is guided by the colony unicameral general assembly a lords (ladies) and commoners. Th motley house has some traits o nobility and some traits of vu] garity. Some of the members d not consider the legislature of; mere colony important enough t warrent noble dress or dlignifie< conduct. Politics within the colony genera assembly is guided by two vern loosely formed parties. The con structive Party is made up o members who wish to make rc forms (within the colony only) And the Continuance Party ir cludes members who basically war to continue the sta tus quo a government methods and pr< grams. More than one quarter of th assembly members are not ar sociatedl with either party; hov ever, more of the independeni have voted with the ConstructivE and some gradlual reforms has been made. Mr. Factionless, a most uniqu mnemb)er, is an ultra-reformer wh wants to out-reform the Constru< tives. His membership reappoi tionment plan, which would ir crease the political strength of th commoners, is not popular wit the Constructives or Continuance: He could probably work fairl well in general with the Constru< tives if he did not have suc radlical ideas about foreign polic and immigration laws. Regardless of the periodic cor fusion of the legislature, it mum be said that it is never boring b( cause of its colorful meetings. For example, the Constructiv Party whip paradoxically has mom of his feuds with a most respecte senior Constructive assembly men ber. Tfhe verbal battles usuall dleal with the "mumbo-jumbo aspects of colony legislation. Th party whip believes that mumbled jumbled legislation has meritr opinions of that Grand 01(1 Ma to the contrary notwithstanding. Finally, a commentary about th colony government would not b complete without mentioning th hound dog statesman. This statem man, who is not a legislatur member, is often consulted by th administration and other Con structive Party loyals. His sag advice is seriously considered. Capers Olympians.

This was not Joe's first bird in ie dorm. Last year he had a )onimate named Henry the Hawk. Henry, a real hawk, was shot on hunting trip in North Carolina hich Joe made last year; his )mpanion was Art Whisnant, anecock cage star. Henry was taken to Art's home id spent three days in a trunk. s a reward for serving as a tar t and for surviving the three S pirit of which he is quite proud. His most embarrassing moment oc curred when he had to pick up his date at Wade Hampton dormitory in his full uniform. After the Duke game, he was presented with a live gamecock. Bob named it G.B. (for Garnet and Black). He had nowhere else to take it, so he took it back to his dormitory. It stayed on the balcony there and crowed con tinuously from 4:30 until 5:30 in the morning. The crowing caused many complaints from the boys in dormitories H, J, K, and L, and fraternity row. Dr. Batson solved the problem by getting a biology student to keep the bird in his backyard. G.B. will probably ap pear at the Homecoming game. A very interesting point was noted by Bob. His great grand father, after whom Bob was named, was the originator of the Gamecock as a symbol of Caro lina. His great grandfather was the Dean of Math, Professor Frances Horton Colcock. Bob's middle name is also Horton. Little did Professor Colcock know that his great grandchild would become a living gamecock! On the field, Bob says, the spirit at most of the games sounds fine. le said the only problem now is c to keep the spirit that Carolina E holds already. He said that he a would like to see more cheering on r the key plays when the team and 9 coach need the biggest boost. A rumor has been spread around a to the effect that the tumbling 9 Gamecock is going to be stolen just t before the Carolina-Clemson game. Bob is looking forward to this a "adoption" with more fear than t enthusiasm, and is forming a r Gamecock Protectors Club. Bob a urges anyone who is interested to - PLEASE JOIN! r OSparrow days in the trunk, he was given an e all-expenses paid trip to Columbia. The noted bird specialist, R. J.
