WHY DEPENDABLE? | ests i There are many characteristics 1 which show the real worth of a V,!? student, but there are perhaps none j?: more indicative of a person's real j V worth than to be able to say that he , ; j or she is dependable. Dependability , 11 characterizes and marks one as being distinctively different. tatt jn tjie present day hurry and , bustle, especially in college where ; Vor there are so many activities, so many ;l & meetings, so many interests it is i hard at times to be dependable, but : ven surely it ^s never actually imposlve?s sible. When you ask a person to do > of something and he says "if," you can col- rest assured that very probably it < ake will not be done.

' ident expectation that the next tittle t is brought to your attention it will :ome in the form of a report that he thing has been done." n The editor of a student publicaion has many assistants. To assign omething to a person and feel sure hat it will be done and done well, is i source of gratification. And those >ersons are the ones who will advance and will occupy the pinnacle n various activities, not only in colege but also after they leave. But here are those whom you know will ail when you assign them a job. ifour past experience with them tells rou so. As the Sczvancc Purple says, 'Neglect is a sin; dependability, a rirtue that all of us can strengthen. The problem is for the individual; t can be worked." v. 8. c. At least one college thinks that at and squatty girls are not inter? sting to the eye. The Alchemist of Srenau College says, "Don't sit own all the time. It makes you fat nd squatty looking, something that ertainly every Brenau girl must uard against." Perhaps some of ur corpulent co-eds might take otice, u. s. c. OPEN FORUM November 11, 1930. Ar. Wilson O. Wcldon, editor, The Gamecock. )ear Sir: It has been called to my attention hat there are certain duties that come inder the jurisdiction of the Superritendent of Buildings and Grounds vhich that official has failed to take totice of or perform. In the Bible we find a passage of Scripture that reads: "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's." Now t is not just that I should criticize nerely for the fun of it but when an fficial has apparently failed in his duty hen it is right and just that this oficial be made to render an account into Caesar. The State of South Carolina annually nakes an appropriation for this and ithcr scfiools, and this with the fees laid by the students, is sufficient to nake the repairs of which I complain. Upon more than one occasion the writer has gone to and requested Mr. Cantey to do certain things, part of irhich were performed and part were lot, but all were reasonable requests. For instance the Kappa Sigma Cappa fraternity requested Mr. Cantey o have lights placed in one of the classooms, where it is needed, yet our most 'efficient official" said that he would ?ot. A shower bath in one of the tenenents becamc broken and the writer equcstcd that it be fixed. The Marshal jave no satisfactory answer, and had he shower cut off with the result that low twenty-one boys use only one ihower when others could so easily be ixed which would save time and trouble o the students. Perhaps the Marshal believes that he s saving water but he is not, for a cerain amount is needed for a bath and inder the one-shower system just as nuch water is used. This requires a longer time, thus using up valuable inie as the line of "would-be-bathers" iwaits its turn. Again, during the time when rooms ire reserved, Mr. Cantey assumes the lir of being extremely bored and constantly gives short answers to questions propounded to him, when it would !>c just as well to be kind and considerate. Frequently when one wishes to sec the Marshal, he is told that the gentleman is either hunting or fishing. Now then, some may say that one man cannot perform these many duties of the Superintendent of Grounds and Buildings but I wish to point out that this officer has an Assistant Marshal, two night watchmen, one electrician and plumber, two draymen, two carpenters, and one gardener to assist hjm. Then Frofessor Coker, as head of the faculty on Buildings and Grounds, looks after all improvements to both grounds and buildings personally. Then what does the Marshal do? These remarks arc in no way offered as an insult to Mr. Cantey but arc submitted to you, Mr. Editor, so that you can publish them and let the campus at large know just what is going on all the time. I have nothing for which to apologize and hope that all are broadminded enough to take the above remarks in the right way. As a remedy I suggest that Mr. Cantey seriously think over conditions and show us that he has a job which he can perform and not a position as he appears to believe he has at the present time. Then he will in the highest sense of the word be, "rendering unto Caesar that which is Caesar'*." Hoping that due notice of this article will be taken and fault corrected, I am, Mr. Editor, Yours very truly, Robert H. Atkinson. ' ? '.>/> , i ' . \f<. I.ll1 AS TO ELECTIONS I ' A college campus has elections about every week, and Carolina is by no njeans an exception. From the first week in October up until the last week in May, some organization or club is holding an election. We kre not going to try to pry into the ethics of the conduction of these many elections, but there is much to be considered. Some group or club usually has a candidate to offer for practically every election, and especially in the elections which are voted upon by the student body at large. Well enough, but should one group continue to monopolize and "hog" certain activities? In the first place, and the place where the trouble is to be found is that many of the elections are not held strictly according to the Constitution. Yes, this is nothing less than the truth. Just cast a backward glance, and you will see that the Constitution has not been adhered to closely. The election of the cheer leader was held by a standing vote, it should have been by secret ballot. The head cheer leader appoints his assistants. In order , to get the best talent, they should be elected, and the whole student body be given an opportunity at this branch of service, rather than restrict it to a chosen few. We do not intimate that the present cheer leader is to be condemned, for this has been the procedure and custom of selecting for many years. Cheering is very important, and due attention should be given to the selection of the assistants from whom the next cheer leader will come. Why not have this election out in the open just as the president of the student body is elected, and at the same time elect the assistants? Only then will a fair opix)rtunity be given, and no possible chance for discrimination. Another election, the Freshman class elections were not held by secret ballot. Now, the moral in what we are saying is that if we have a Constitution, and arc supposed to be governed by it, then adhere strictly to it. If the stipulations are not what is wanted, then revise the provisions. By all means the student council should see to it that every election is held strictly according to the Constitution. We say more strictness, fair chance for everybody in all of the elections, and by no means allow one group or club to control any one activity. A prominent faculty member has said, "Although I am a member of several fraternities and believe that they can do a great deal for the school, they must not be selfish in regard to the campus honors."
