|wL1?S^PSsfaper^ SIZE AND TYPE CHANGED i For the first time in the twenty-two I f | years of its , struggling existence, the i Bp Gamecock had changed from the old * Hg fashioned five-column paper to a ihodern K, six column publication. This change, tp- L |i gether with many other new f eaturiisA i 1 makes the Gamecock the most approved t { type of college newspaper. Three inches < | have been added to the length of the h fm. paper and with the additional column U makes possible the publication of ap- t proximately 250 inches more news thaaj | Shas been possible heretofore. vr : This year's Gamrcock will be printed U fc&,6n regular newsprint paper. This change I' makes the Gamrcock a much better.andh mo/e up-to-date newspaper than it did i I when it was printed oft book paper. h > This year there will be thirty or more < I!?- issues of the Gamrcock, which *ur?tj 1: passes by far the number that have been h I published in recent years. Only twenty*! < I four issues were published last year. The! I publication of the additional issues is h I made possible by the iact thatN many of \ I the leading national advertisers, who h 1; have never before advertised in the h " Gamrcock, have signed advertising con- m |. tracts tliis year. . tt foil fi Wilson O. Weldon, prominent Uni- 1 i Vversity senior, guides the destines of the 4'.

The I * I managing editor is also a junior in the j K school of journalism.

Herbert, also a junior in the1 M|| journalism school, is business manager of < fcj the Gamecock. He is the first junior to L hold this office in many years. L Ever since its organieation, the GamR-I cock has been recognized as one of the I I p best of the college newspapers In thj*i I state. For six consecutive years out of the L g past seven, the Gamrcock was chosen .the \ fcbesfcCbllege newspaper in South Carolina; h BMl' j^ist year it won second place, losing first I j I ftL plaA by a small margin.- * 11 The semester which opened last weekh Hl': is the fourth in which the paper has been h under the $ontrol of the student board of L publications. Under this system the < Gamrcock has changed from a paper | governed by politics to a paper which is a true representative of the student body I , , as a whole.

Are Elected by Fellow Students Everyone has felt gratified over the reorganization of the Honor Committee, declared Prof. F. W. Bradley, ] chairman of the faculty committee on the honor system. "This will be the first sessum since thtt of 1926 that the Honor Committee has been in operation since the beginning pf the term." t ''In those years between 1926 to 1930, f however, the honor principle was not . abandoned, but was operated in such a nebulous and unsatisfactory manner tliat * both the student body and faculty felt * the wed of ) reorganization. This need was satisfied by the student body action , taken last spring." 1 The Honor Committee, as set forth last < year, consists of one man and one wo- ' man representative from each of the . four classes, elected by theia* fellow students, after having been nominated by a 1 nominating committee consisting of the 1 president' of the class and two elected members.
