Note the expression on Johnny Watts' face? Some season ahead. "Young Man Shot in Suburbs" headline. Wonder was amputation necessary. It does seem that the people of New Jersey are getting mighty care less with their electoral vote. It is understood that the Eugenics section of the American Breeders' association in session here recently adopted resolutions strongly con dlemning moon light. Professor Chamberlavne has been confined to his room for the past several days. His Latin pupils have thoughtfully sent him a number of bouquets of flowers. A certain student, observing an outpouring of voting ladies from one of the churches of the city, re marked: "Girls, girls, everywhere, but not a one to wink." This legislative educational com mittee seems to have known what it was about, since it recommended that we have a larger appropriation than any of the other State colleges. They do0 say that the group of men who p)assedl a certain section of French are just about proportionate to the returning remnant of .the noble Six H-undred that made the famous charge. It is regrettable that the faculty should have failedl to co-op)erate wvith the student b)ody as it should have in the parade held a few days ago. The numb.er present at the head of the procession wvas notice ably small and doubtless caulsedl much unfavorable comment. Such exhibitions as this make us feel that all our efforts to edlucate our in structors are frit-loes We Retire. With this issue the present staff df THE GAMECOCK resigns its duties and another takes upon itself the not unpleasant task of issuing this pub lication. We conceive it .to be an honor as well as a privilege to have been con nected activ,ly with the weekly pa per of the L iversity of South Caro lina, for with all due consideration for the other agencies at work on the campus, we believe THE GAME COCK to be the most potent factor in keeping alive the divine spark of college spirit, the promotion of a sentiment of fellowship in the stu dent body, the creation of a closer bond between instructor and pupil, and the direction of student interest into channels where it might not otherwise be found. THE GAME COCK is not more a paper than a per sonality. We consider its publica tion to be a trust; that it should be at all times voice the heart, not the mind, of its editors. The co-operation of the student body and faculty in the issue of THE GAMECOCK has been greatly appre ciated. The thanks of the staff go out to The State company. The gentle men in charge of the printing of this paper have been courteous and gen erous in the performance of their duties, and the editors, as well as the student body, are under deep obliga tion to them. This Personal Contact Business. We have frequently heard the statement made from the platform, and perhaps seen it in print not a few times, that "The university life is marked by close personal contact of the student and instructor." Were this editorial a sermon, this statement would be its text. The writer has been a student of the university for nearly three ses sions, and from his own experience and the experiences of others brands the above statement as false. Dur ing these three sessions, his conver sations with members of the faculty, leaving out of account many private conferences with the Dean, if all were held in succession, would not extend for more than one hour. The writer's case, we believe, is. typical of ninety per cent. of the student b)odly. Perhaps, he is more favored than his fellows, for once during these three sessions, it was his pleas tire to (line wvith one of his profes sors, at wvhich time, about fifty mini utes of the above mentioned sixty of conversation, were indulged in. Tfhe wvriter recently spoke in a contest held in the chapel--we hope the personal allusion will be par (honed-and on the following (lay, one of the judges, a professor, of that contest, remarked that he had never seen "this young man.'' Yet "The university life is marked by close personal contact of student and instructor." It hurts one pnie to learn that a member of the faculty had never previously seen his im presaive phiz. ie finishing blow came a -few weeks since, when a faculty mem ber delivered a lecture at the writer's village. When his address had been concluded, some citizens of the town crowded about the speaker to inquire after the native son. The orator of the day thought diligently for a while, then asked: "Isn't he a freshman ? I don't believe I know him." This was thrown in the writer's face with numerous embel lishments during the Christmas holi days, and he determined to be re venged. The value of student and faculty friendship is unquestioned. The authorities realize this and hence it appears in the university advertise ment. We contend that the asser tion is false. The press agency of the university should state only the real facts concerning the show for whicei it speaks.
