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.

THANKSGIVING NIGHT
Enjoyable Dance Given In Gymnasium,
Large Number Of
Students Hear Johnson
Nighthawks
A delightful dance was staged in
the gym under the auspices of the
Social Cabinet last Thursday evening.
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.
