Cobb was cut sistant in the Mathematics D< barred because it was found at have enough cre<lits to particip eice rule. Alany things happen that ar must be corrected. The editor peared in the last issue, was men.. The GAM.:cocK wants tc feels that this apology will ser for nearly thirty years, but with that fact it took a long time to get for the young ladies a much needed building. The ladies of the State have fought for years to give the girls equal rights with the boys in other ways than merely saying that they have them. It looked for a while as if they were putting up a losing fight, but being of a persistent nature they never let up and today a handsome building stands on Gibbes Green, across from the infirmary, as a monument to their cause. The Legislature of 1923 appropri ated $50,000, with the promise of an additional sum the following year, for the building of a co-ed dormitory on the campus of the University. The trustees immediately awarded a con tract. Last summer the work was begun and today the building is ready for use. It will not be used any this term, but will be opened to the young ladies at the beginning of the school year in Septembcr. The present building will house one hundred young ladies, and has a hall for their organizations to use for meeting purposes. The building will be in charge of a matron. Up until this time the girls have had to stay out in town at board ing houses. Such a condition caused ially inlcoiveniences, but most of these will be remedied with the addi tion of the new building iext fall. The time once was when the co-eds wvere lookedl on as visitors on tile camlpus, but that (lay Is p)ast and they are here to stay. They have a right hlere as well as the boys. They (10 the wvork{ of the boys andl in many instances they are the leaders in tile class room wvork. 'When it comcts to work on the literary publications the edIitors find1 thlat it is the co-edl that he can dlepend( 0on for that much na0 ded( art icle. Whe 110 ne1 says sihe wvill have it on t ime she never falls. Two years ago thle Literary Societies, inl keepling with t he present day ploli cy, votedl to give the co-eds thle privi lege of electing an edlitor for the Carol in Ian.

A genleralI summi la ry thlo wv il fin ish what we have at temuptedh to say. They dleser-ve all that they have gotten b)y their hard flght and much more. Thie whleel has been started andl be fore many more years pass we are goling to see several more buildings on the south end11( of Gibbes Green. - -U.S.C. THAT SPIRIT OF INDIFFER ENCE From a care ful observation thle last fewv weeks the writer has come to the con1clus:ion that a spirit of indtifferenc prevails among the studenlt body. It is that inldifferen1ce towards the rights, p)rivileges anid pleasures of others. Why SlintI( sielh a Snirit prevail mee it Se OLOGY |cocK carried an article on the is for certain men not being on were a bit mixed, and due to and trying hard to get the pa chool banquet, these statements The present staff tries hard to iot as reported without a check :ircumstances this article would reading.

Slippy McGee was the last minute that he did not ate under the Southern Confer very displeasing at times, and knows that the article as it ap -ery displeasing to these younil > do what is right, and the stalf ve to correct the error. hard to say. Stie stldents have the vagite idea that since they pay a room rent fee it gives to them the right it get in that room and make as much noise as possible. They say. "it is mly roM om anid I can do as I please inl it." It has always been said that a man is bIri free and has all the liberties of a ireellial as l(ong as those liberties (i) not inifringe upi the rights of another. IHere on the camipus certain students have been infringing on the rights of otlhers. Certain students appear to be here merely for a good time, an(d are ,-oing to have it regardless of the fact that mlost of us are here for the good lhat we can get frome this great instilii tion. They get ici their room, above a h:rd-working student and m)ake as much ilse as possible, stay up at all hours oif the ni.ht aid have ahsolutely no resiect fir tih lad iunder titem. It is not givinlg the wrking student a fair deal. Onei can remw:iNtrate with thein but it serves to add to the disturhaice.
