:t? 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. How pleasing to
the be able to say of a person with
ack Gififord Pinchot, '"JTiere is no more

ident expectation that the next tittle

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

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;

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.

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."
