Assistant FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1928 Welcome High School Student In accordance with a time honored custom The Game cock takes the privilege to extend a word of welcome to the girls and boys who are guests of the University for the annual high school week. But the custom has never become a muere formality; the expression of wel conc retains its rich and appreciative value though it has been repeated many times. If the trend and sub stance of this effort has great similiarity to those that have been written in the passed it is because the Uni versity of South Carolina welcomes the high school stu dents with a spirit that is as old as the institution and an understanding that is never worn by time. We regret that our state legislature has deemed it politic to abolish the University extension department wherein existed the University's means with which 'o entertain you. But in spite of that fact we are endeavor ing to m ake your stay on the annpus this year as pleasant as we possibly can. The Gamecock is the public muouthpiece of the stu dent body and the faculty. Consequently, the greetings to the high schools students come, not from any one in dhividual but frotn tihe sixteen hundred andl more men andl womlen who '(1 cnt it ute the personnel of the Uniiiver sity'. The mten and wvomen of Carolina are interested in yon as their guests and as young citizens of South Carolina simple because wve have the future inter<- af the state at heart. Il igh school 5 sudents are a vital part of Southi Care lina-asi vital ,as aniy other part. Carolina is the state University, and the entire state is, as it should be, Caro lina 's campus. IThe camuis is yours, h)oys and girils, and we want yout to entjoy its bentefits wvhile you are here. We hope you wvill get an idlea at least of whlat Carolina ,.tan'Is for. High scho ol wecek brings to Columbia the largest por tion of leaders int high school affairs, representing the phases of activity that are dulplicatedl on a larger scale in college. High school wveek gives the high school stu dents an opportunity to know the University and the University an oppourtunity to know the the high school students. The Gamecock can truthfully say that no guests are more welcome, that in no group of men andl women is Carolina more interestedl. Itt all contests there are winners and loosers. But, f4etunatei% it is an unwritten law of sports that this year's results do not determine the winner next time. Each contest leaves the contestant better fitted for the next-whether it be in college or in the outside world. To those who wish to further prepare themselves, the University is a wonderful opportunity. Carolina is an Al University, well equiped and is adequately in a posi tion to give splendid training along many lines. In concluding, we wish to say again that the high school students are welcomed to our campus, that we hope that their visit has been most enjoyable and profit able and that many of them will become members of our organization next year. USC More Dormitories Enrolment at the University of South Carolina has been steadily increasing for the past several years, yet for the past three years no additional dormitories have been built. If we have an increastd enrolment next year as large as the increase this year, where will the new students be placed? The legislature has done nothing about it and steps should be taken to provide for temporary quarters at least. There are five professors' houses on the campus that could he utilized for student dormitories if necessary. It is manifestly unfair to the professors to compel them to live on the campus. Every professor is entitled to a quiet. homelife of his own in a different atmosphere where he can relax after the trying classes of the day. Furtther, to spend twenty-four hours a clay in the same atnosphere is not conductive to health and happiness. The campus is hardly the place to rear children, especially young girls, and the married professors must suffer this disadvantage in addition to the others men tioned. It would be to the advantage of both the professors and the University if the professors were to take their homes out in the city of Columbia. If their compensa tion is not adequate to permit this, perhaps some ten porary at rangement can be made until the law makers meet again. The lIiversity would benetit in several ways in ad ditio,n to the dormitory space that these houses would provide. Probably a hundred men could be accommo dated in the five residences, forty each in those on the main campus and twenty each in the three on Sumter street. If the residence next to Harper College would be used for journalism students, three of the ground floor rooms could he used for school purposes. One room could be used for a classroom, another for a lihbr'!r, and a third for a parlor. Similarly the three residences on Sumter street could be used for education students, and the resi dence next to Rutledge by the law students. These changes would make four or five more classrooms avail able and would increase the efficiency of the professional 1chools, and the comfort and pleasure of their students. The change would benefit both the professors and the T hanks to Mr. Babcock The University is indebted to Professor 8abcock and 'lose who1 have cooperated with him in p)rovidhing ac comi:~e.'ons for the high school visitors. As is prob ably knmown . the Extension department of Carolina is op)erated on exactly zero dollars, so far as state appro p)riationl is concerned. However, with the aid of the stuilents and faculty, Mr. Babcock has been ab)le to pro v'ide comfortable lodging for the high schoolers. We realize, of coturse, that their stay has not been hours of luxury, butt we hope that they appreciate the sit uat on IIlad thme faculty and stutdents not coop)erated it would have been practically impossible for the Uni versity to receive the visitors this year. But cooperation of this sort is nothing unustual at Caro lina. Hospitality is one of the first chapters in practical ly every Carolina man's code of living. High school stu dents are welcome not only during high school week, but also anytime they wish to visit Carolina. Again the Gamecock expresses thanks to Professor Babcock for the service for which he received no com pensantion.
