RETIRING STAFF TO BE PRAISED Jesse Rutledge Made A Good Paper Last Semes ter OTHER MEMBERS DO WELL Heyman; Hingson; Miss Wall And Stevenson Special Mention The memnbers of the new staff of the Gamecock, in assuming their new pe sitions, realize that the retring staff has left an enviable record behind it that will be very hard to better. Especially is this true when the handicaps under which they were working are taken in to consideration in summing up the re suits of their labor. Some of the hin dicaps alluded to have already been moved and it is earnestly hoped tia some of the others will be removed L. fore this staff turns over the pape. its future successors. The chief one u' these handicaps has been a lack of ;. terest in the paper and its welfare. r. only among some of the members of the retiring staff, but also among t'.. entire student body. Therefore, und.., such a handicap as this alone, the me . 1.ers of the retiring staff are to be her.. tily congr:tu!ated upon such a succe,. fil rendition of The Gamecock. In looking over the names of the retiring staff it is very difficult to ap plaud one member of the staff without applauding all. As is the case on all newspapers some of the reporters have done more work and deserve more credit for the successful issuance of 'Tlhe Gamecock than some of the heads of the departments. However, the writer wishes to single out a few of these deserving ones and in this hum ble way attempt to render credit where credit is undoubtedly due. Some of these deserving workers still remain on the new staff and will be heard from later.
