Dorm Life
I occ!'pied the room, Room 11,
Tenement 11, de Saussure College,
as a freshman and sophomore in
1926-27 and 1927-28. It is on the
third floor. At the time the walls
were plaster, painted gray, and
there was a fireplace with a
wooden mantel. T h e fireplace
actually worked. It was not sup
posed to work, as it had been
closed off at some time, but an
engineering student had tunnelled
it open. The mantel was pock
marked with .22 calibre bullets
where someone had held short
range target practice. The cam
pus maintenance department soon
plugged the holes and painted over
them. It was the only area that
received fresh paint in some
years.
Three of us shared the two-bed
room suite. My original roommates
were two sophomores - and I a
freshman.
Hazing had not yet disappeared
from the campus, although of
ficially banished, and I had to
watch out for a time for two
upperclassmen named Bus Wise
and E. McCrady Henderson. Bus
is now a bakery magnate and
"Fruggy" Henderson is the engi
neer responsible for holding the
University together physically.
Thank goodness, he doesn't have to
do it with string and chewing gum
as in the old days.
The room, or rather suite, to be
excessively elegant about it, had a
history. It was supposed to have
been occupied prior to the Con
federate War by States Rights
Gist, a member of an old and dis
tinguished South Carolina family.
S. R. Gist became a Confederate
general at a very young age and
was killed at the battle of Franklin
late in the war.

USC Senators
Hold Session
BY KAY HUGHEY
Senate Correspondent
The Student Senate opened the
fall semester with an abbreviated
session held in the Russell House
Assembly Room. One resolution
was passed at the meeting which
was sparsely attended because of
rush.
Senators voted to allow the
present cheerleaders to fill vacan
cies which hve ccurred in their
ranks, authorizing them to fill the
position vacated by the resigna
tion of Jim Scheider.
Student Body President Todd
Wilson read a letter from Presi
dent Thomas F. Jones concerning
the USC Traffic Bill passed by
last year's Senate. Jones gave his
approval to section one of the bill
which states that first year under
graduates shall not possess an
automobile on campus while at
tending USC. Exceptions are:
Preshmen students over age 21,
married students, day students as
defined by USC rules on resi
dence, and students who are
physically handicapped.
Requests Further Study
President Jones requested that
sections two and three of the bill
be returned for further study by
a committee. These sections con
cerned the establishment of a stu
dent Traffic Court, and the re
duction of fines imposed for over
parking and other violations.
Wilson noted that the regula
tion prohibiting freshmen from
having cars had already taken ef
fect for this semester.
The Senate confirmed the fol
lowing appointments made by
President Wilson: Chuck Simons,
head of the Homecoming Commit
tee. Peggy Moses and Chuck Sim

Spirit Is
Important
To School
Team Will
Be Bigger
School spirit makes the college,
and this is what you remember
most about your college days, said
Head Coach Marvin Bass last
Wednesday at the regular weekly
meeting of the Jr.-Sr. "Y."
Coach Bass emphasized that
school spirit means a lot to the
team. Enthusiasm is contagious,
he said, and when you have it you
can't help but succeed. The play
ers depend on the students for
their spirit; they spur the team
on, he said.
"We have the heaviest team
that we've had in a long time,"
said the coach, "Mike Kirkpatrick,
Steve "Little Abner" Cox, Billy
Niles, you can't get much bigger
than that."
He said that he feels that this
will be a good year for Carolina,
both academically and on the foot
ball field.
Coach Bass told the luncheon
group that morale is an intangi
ble factor in the success of a team.
As an example, he remarked to
-he group:
"My father told me that clothes
don't make the man," he said,
"and though there have been
times when I doubted this, I've
generally found it to be true."
Saying that clothes and good
uniforms can make a difference
in morale, he pointed out that the
New York Yankees spend two
days in spring training just teach
ing their rookies how to wear a
uniform properly.
"Still," he observed, "if the
players weren't great to start
with, the uniforms wouldn't do
them any good."
In response to a question asked
after his talk. Coach Bass com
mented on the question of drink
ing in the football stands during
a game.
The Coach said that he didn't
think this was a good thing, be
cause it was harmful to Carolina's
reputation. "If one student gets
out of hand," he said, "this ruins
it for the rest of the students."
Coach Bass urged the "Y" mem
bers and other members of the
student body to maintain close
contact with the athletic depart
ment, and support the team dur
ing the school year.
