Copy furuis Babcock Urge Bureau Faculty Member States That Publicity Medium Is Badly Needed Dr. Havilah Babcock, member of the faculty Committee of Publications, has offered his opinion concerning the recent movement begun by the University to establish a press bureau on the campus following a request for such statement by The Gamecock. The movement for a press agency at the University of South Carolina is at last receiving some recognition by the officials of the University. Such a Venture has long been considered a necessity for the University, but only recently has any serious attention been given to the proposition. Dr. Babcock's statement concerning the press bureau was, in full: I should not advocate a cheap press agency that would send out stuff indiscriminately, but a well-conducted information bureau that would supply 3the newspapers of the state with deJJJsirable news would, in my opinion, be oan invaluable adjunct to the Univer.sity. . The least a state institution can do ^is to keep the people who support it ^informed of what it is doing. A state 2" university can hardly expect a :9 citizenry to interest itself actively in , 'ts behalf unless it has some means of O communicating its activities, developed ments, and plans. *5 The people who support an institu^ tion are naturally interested in it. ^ Parents are interested in the welfare of their children who are at the University; former teachers, principals, and superintendents are interested in the accomplishments of their erstwhile charges; benefactors like to know that their benefactions are recognized and appreciated; and towns and communities like to read of the progress of the home town boys and girls. It is a notorious fact that the University gets little publicity of consequence outside of the city limits of Columbia largely because the out-ofcity newspapers have no means of getting the news. Three years ago I wrote to sixty editors asking them whether they would be interested in receiving news budgets from the University. Fifty took the trouble to reply, asking for some sort of news service, but at the time there were no facilities for accommodating these requests. ! urthermore, all news emanating from the University should if possible issue from one source, to prevent duplication and confusion.

The gym was beautifully decorated in blue and white and the spirit of Thanksgiving was evidenced. A num- I her of students attended, more than was expected, due to the holiday. I Music was furni: bet! by LainotteJolmson Nighthawks. Courtesy was extended to several men from other schools, although in general a student athletic book was necessary to gain entrance. The opinion has been expressed by many that the dance this year superceded that held in 1928. The crowd seemed to enjoy the function very much and it is well that it has become a regular annual affair in our social calendar. II. 8. O. Patronize our advertisers.
