Gamecock
Begins Its
25th Year
Campus Weekly Has Served
University Well For TwentyFour
Years
( _______
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE)
Tiic following year L. Wardlaw
Smith, of Spartanburg, was elected to
the editorship, and in his first issue of
October 8, 1908, lie asked for the cooperation
of the students "to make
The Gamecock the foremost college
weekly in the South." This was the
only announcement that the paper
would henceforth be published weekly
instead of three tjmcs a month, as was
the original purpose.
With the first issue under the new
editorship the size was decreased to
three columns in width and the number
of pages increased from four to
eight.
On October 16, The Gamecock carried
a running story of the College of
Charleston Carolina football game,
which the Gamecocks won 17 to 0.
This was the first running story of
a football game the paper ever carried.
On October 27 the first spccial
Clemson game football issue was published.
It carried a history of football
at Carolina, and every year since that
time a spccial Clemson issue has been
published. A large amount of advertising
was carried in the spccial edition
and students were asked to patronize
only those merchants who advertised
in campus publications.
After the Clemson issue The Gamecock
again became a four column
paper and the width has not been decreased
to this day. It later became
a five column paper and in 1930 it was
' increased to its present form of six
columns.
S. B. Rich, of Blackville, began his
term of editorship with a plea to the
students to subscribe and asking for
the present Carolinian office which
had been used as a club room, for the
offices of The Gamecock. Bernard
Mann was the new business manager.
Dr. S. C. Mitchell, who was elected
president of the University in 1909,
was pictured in the issue of January
of that year.
A. D. Oliphant, was the next editor,
and in his issue of March 4 he proved
himself to be the first editor to advocate
non-compulsory chapel attendance.
C. T. Graydon, of Greenwood, was
named editor in 1909, and H. G. Officer,
business manager. Mr. Graydon
was the first editor of The Gamecock
to run a so-called editor's policy edi- 1
torial. The increase in advertising was
quite noticeable with this period.
1). E. Finney, Jr., was the next editor,
and in his first issue on February
17, 1910, The Gamecock carried its
first cigarette advertisement, a type of
advertising which was later to bring
in much revenue.
O i June 0, 1910, the first issue under
the editorship of C. G. VVyche of
Newberry was published. The new
business manager was P. h. Wright,
Trenton, but he did uot return to
school and the following September
R. F. Simpson was elected to the office.
On February 11, 1911, H. G. Officer
became editor and the issue following
announced the election to the Board
of Trustees of D. R. Coker. Officer
was the first student to be business
manager and then editor of The Gamecock.
Kroadus Mitchell was the next editor
of The (jatnecock and T. S. McMillian
its new business manager. Due
to financial difficulties the paper had
only four pages at this time.
J- P. Evans of Clio was elected
business manager when McMillian
dropped out of school. On October
2', lull, The Gamecock's first yellow
sheet appeared. It was called the
Yellow Journalism Issue" and was
printed on yellow paper and in red
ink. It contained a number of scandal
stories.
Editors from 1912 to 1917 were L. K.

Dye Manufa
Guy H. White, Jr., son of Guy H.
White, Sr., of Columbia and a Carolina
alumnus, has recently discovered
a method of dye manufacture by the
use of electricity, according to an
article published recently in the Pittsburg
Post-Gazette.
Mr. White received his B. S. degree
from the University in 1929 and his
M. S. the same year at the end of the
Summer school. Since then he has
been studying at the University of
Pittsburg. He is well known in Columbia
and many people on the campus
remember him with great regard.
The process cnvolves the use of
electrolysis rather than the use of
costly oxidizing agents such as are
used now. It is still in the laboratory
stage but is reported to have great
commercial possibilities.
The article in the Post-Gazette is as
follows:
Man's faithful servant, electricity,
has been put to a new and practical
use. It can now be made to take the
place of chemicals long thought necessary
in the manufacturing of dyes.
Brilliant blue and green dyes, as
strong in color and as lasting as those
created under the old chemical method
have been turned out by Guy H.
White, graduate assistant in the chemistry
department of the University of
Pittsburgh, who perfected this electrie
process.

)vers New
cture Pro cess
White's discovery means a cleaner
and easier method of dye making, and
although still in the laboratory stage,
is thought to have great commercial
possibilities.
Instead of freeing the oxygen in the
dye base by adding an oxygen-containing
chemical such as lead peroxide,
as has always been done in the
past, White uses an electric current
for this step in dye making. A colorless
organic compound, called a leuco
base, is the primary ingredient of
the dyes. Under the old method, dye
was made by adding to this base a
"ompound containing oxygen in the
presence of acids. Under White's
method, the oxygen is evolved off the
surface of an electrode in an electrolytic
cell.
White, who will receive his Ph. D.
degree in February, has been working
steadily on his experiment for two
years under the direction of Dr.
Alexander Lowry of the chemistry department
of the University. The idea
of substituting electricity for the oxidizing
agent in dye making originated
wth Doctor Lowry, who himself has
worked on the problem from time to
time.
With the article is a two-column
cut showing Mr. White in the laboratory
with Doctor Lowry.

Odds And Ends
Given To Fund
Fountain Pen And O. D. K. Key
Dropped In Keg For
Brick Fund
A fountain pen and an O. D. K. key
along with $70.50 in cash were found
to have been contributed to the sidewalk
fund when the kegs were opened
after the "be your age" day held
recently.
However Dr. Havilah Babcock, who
is in charge of the paving, believed
that such generosity was too good to
be true and, after a little investigation,
found that the owners of the pen and
key wanted to play "injun giver."
They were promptly returned to
their owners but it is rumored that
Dr. Babcock is still deep in calculations
as to the degree of depreciation
of second-hand goods and cost per
brick at so much a hundred.
Evidently the owners of the returned
articles had accidently pulled
them out of their pockets when they
reached for a few coins and had unknowingly
dropped them in the keg.
The money collected was sufficient
to brick 150 feet of sidewalk, but more
will be necessary if the venture is to
be completed.

Student Speaks
For Book Club
Miss Marian Dudley, Retired
Y. W. C. A. Worker In China Is
Taking Degree In Sociology
Miss Marion Dudley spoke Thursday
night before the Fortnightly Book
Club, taking for her topic "My life in
the Orient." Next Tuesday she will
speak to the Business Women's club
on the same subject.
Miss Dudley, a student at the University,
was for five years a Y. M. C.
A. worker in China. She returned last
year, via Russia, to take her master's
degree in sociology here.
Besides being one of the most
sought-after speakers in the city, Miss
Dudley frequently entertains her fellow
students with tales of her thrilling
experiences. It seems to be the
consensus of opinion that Miss Dudley
left China none too soon, and that the
Orient at the present time is no place
for a Converse bred Y. W. worker.

Service Club

The regular weekly meeting of the
Carolina Christian Service club last
Wednesday evening in Sloan college

Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and
Tennessee.
