What's Love
Moon, Bliss
And Carolina
By DEBBIE WELCH
Staff Writer
Love is a night heavy with ro
mance as myriads of stars and a
quarter moon hang suspended be
tween earth and infinity. . . . .
It is the transformation of the
meekest fellow into a suave Casa
nova and the shyest girl into a
lovely Juliet.
It is the uncanny remembrance
of such lines as "Love is the silent
saying and saying of a a i n g I e
name" and Browning's "How do I
love thee, Let me c o u n t the
ways." . . .
It is a sudden reflection of that
which had been forgotten and a
new hope and anticipation of the
future. . . .
It is mountain of knowledge
based on ascetic wisdom....
Yes, love is all of these, but even
more. . . .
Love is a Carolina Coed and her
beau, while captivated by the
magic of the night, they hasten to
check the hour at the ODK Sun
dial. . . .

"Do you have a date for Home
coming?"
This question, of course, is asked
in an assured voice, and a sigh
of relief follows the expected re
sponse, "No." At least you know
you are not alone. A ringing tele
phone is electrifying, but then the
girl on phone duty passes your
door, or pops her head in to call
your roommate. With the exception
of orientation classes and walking
past the benches in front of Rus
sell House (6-8-4-10), this is one
of the worst ordeals of the year.
Then old "what's - his - name"
finally gets through to you around
11:59 after trying for three days
and nights, and you finally have a

Since it was first chartered in
1801 as South Carolina College,
USC has undergone steady change
and expansion, so that today it is
a mixture of the old and the new.
The Undergraduate L i b r a r y,
opened in 1959, faces Davis Field,
which served as a parade ground
during the Yankee occupation of
Columbia after the Civil War.
The brick wall which saved the
campus from burning when Sher
man entered the city Feb. 17, 1865,
still stands. It encloses a number
of buildings, including a radio
television center and a science an
nex, being used for the first time
this year. The wall was originally
built to keep the school's 200 male

subject floating around, but be
cause some housemothers read this
paper, some things are better left
unsaid.
The men have problems that are
just as bad, if not worse. There
they sit, hands folded, waiting for
that distant girlfriend. Slowly the
pictures come out of the drawers
and the girl you haven't seen for
two months is the only one again.
Excitement r e a l 1 y builds by
Thursday, just after you've made
a thirty on an hour quiz. Your girl
is coming tomorrow and second
semester is a long way off. With
this in mind every freshman
awaits Homecoming with a clear
conscience and the feeling that this
will be one of the greatest experi
ences of his or her college career;
aside from passing that history
quiz, that is.

COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE
Several other buildings on cam
pus are left from the University's
early days, when it was South
Carolina College or College of
Agriculture and Mechanic Arts.
The name was changed several
times. It was the University of
South Carolina from 1865-1877,
1887-1890, and 1906 until now.
DeSaussure, built in 1809, was
the second building on campus. As
were many of the early structures,
it was used as a Confederate hos
pital during the Civil War. The
first building was Rutledge Col
lege, finished in 1805, followed by
Harper, Legare, Elliott and Pinck
ney, all built before 1865.
S o u t h Caroliniana Library,
erected in 1840, was the first
separate college library building in
America. For over 100 years it
served as the school's library,
while today it is one of three.
The building now used as a
classical gymnasium by modern
athletes has served as a chapel, a
hospital and a science building
since its completion in 1855. In
tended as a chapel, it had poor
acoustics, and its roof blew off
twice within 10 years after it was
built.
These buildings are no more a
part of Carolina's community,
however, than are Russell House,
South Dorm, South Tower, the new
men's veil-block residence halls or
any of the other buildings added
in recent years. In relation to the
entire City of Columbia, the Uni
versity has simply kept pace, its
major changes being those which
come with expansion.
Students themselves are actually

turn of the century.
This year's rebellion against
Slater Food Service is paralleled
by the "great Biscuit Rebellion in
1852," when 108 students threat
ened to leave school if the com
puslory commons system were not
abolished. They eventually lost
their battle with the board of
trustees and became among the
school's first drop-outs.
Men of Carolina who are at
tending school through veterans'
programs or Reserve Officers'
Training Corps are setting no prec
edent by their connection with the
military service. In 1861 the entire
student body volunteered for the
Confederate Army as the College
Cadets.
Beating Clemson was a high
light of the academic year in 1896,
when the first Big Thursday game
was played. Carolina came out on
top of a 12-6 tally that year and
had its only undefeated season in
1907 when the Gamecocks beat the
College of Charleston, the Medical
College of Georgia and The Cita
del.

pus. Fraternities existed h e r e
several years before they were
forced by legislation in 1897 to
close or go underground. They
were reborn in 1927. The first
record of Phi Beta K a p p a at
Carolina goes back to 1818, when
John Quincy Adams endorsed the
school's application for a chapter.
CAMPUS PUBLICATIONS
Campus publications were
started in the early 1800's and
e a r 1 y 1900's. The Camfinian, a
literary magazine, has been re
placed by the Crucible. The Garnet
and Black, established in 1899, and
The Gamecock, begun in 1908 still
exist. Clariosophic and Euphradian
literary societies were a central
part of academic life between 1805
and 1965.
Politics, too, are much the same.
When Goldwater and Johnson fans
debated at USC in 1964, they were
following the example of students
who conducted the first open cam
pus political campaign in 1928.
The Gamecock, however, became
the first campus publication to of
ficially endorse a presidential can

Hallowee
Old Merr
By TOM PREWETf
Staff Writer
Every year at this time, we read
something about Halloween and
how different it is now from what
it used to be.
In every case of this nostalgia
I've ever seen, the writer is a
person born in the earlier part of
the 20th Century and he fondly
recalls bobbing for apples, dis
mantling a buggy or wagon and
reassembling it atop the local
school building and soaping the
screen doors and windows of some
hometown crab. Ahh, those were
the good old days!
Most college students today
were born in the 1940's and grew
from there, with their own first
hand Halloween experiences. We
are now old enough to reward our
selves with a little nostalgic glance
over the shoulder at the one night
out of every year that we donned
our gause or rubber masks and
paraded forth to terrorize the
world.
Can't you still feel the cold en
gulf you as you left the warmth
of your house to start on your
nocturnal "visitations"? It seems
to me that every Halloween I
passed through, there was a full
moon . . . or maybe I just imagined
that . . . because full moons are
choice for Halloween. And still
fresh in my memory is the swish
swish of my costume pants against
the "Trick or Treat" bag that I
grasped in my hand. I can't re
member ever complaining with the
weight of the bag . . . in fact, it
seems that the more I went from
door to door, the lighter the bag
became.
When I was a kid, we went on
our Halloween rounds in packs ...
to ward off the evil spirits, no
doubt . . . and it was more fun
that way, too. That way no one
ever got too tired or too cold to
stop until we had gone the com
plete circuit. Many times have I
walked back into my house blue
from the cold with no feeling at all
in my feet . . . but who thinks
about a little thing like frostbite
with the pains you're suddenly
experiencing in your gook-filled
stomach? Lord, didn't it hurt!

earth, I think we enjoyed it while
we were young enough. Times are
bound to change . . . and so are
the ways kids celebrate Halloween
. . and we won't knock it even if
Halloween gets a little tamer each
year. We'll just remember we had
run . . . and in large quantity. In
fact, I think I'll go dig up a paper
bag right now. Anyone for "Trick

Dear 01' Buddie:
How'reya, kid? I'm more'r less
out of the whole picture but I'm
still conscious and on the old
toesies . . . even if they are a little
numb from the cold, bad ol'
weather. But . . . as th' ol' philoso- F
pher . . . whasisname says . . .
it's all in the thrill and excitement
of the ol' football game.
The Homecoming game was
simply, simply ... it was too much,
01' Buddie, 01' Pal. (Boy'm I
gonna be sick.) I jus' yelled and
hollered and stomped and yelled
till I thought I'd go out of my
mind. The excitement of the cheer
leaders an' players and the band
an' all that good stuff. Know what
I mean? Sure, y'do. Well, every
body played a fine game. I'm just
not sure which team was which . . .
the colored jersies just started
spinnin' 'round and 'round. You
think tha's dumb? I'm a pretty
dumb kid . . . I know I ain't so
smart . . . but wait'll you hear this.
I don't even know who won the
deal. But who cares? The ol' ball
game is only a matter of secondary
importance for Homecoming day.
Hmmm? Sure. We know what
come's first at the game, don't we,
ol' Buddie. It's our little ol' jolly
maker we slip in under our coats,
hmmmm? (Censored), yeah!
Well, 01' Buddie, I'm beginnin'
to feel pretty low now so I better
close before sickie time arrives.
Pity me, fella. Think how I'll feel
in th' mornin'.
