CONFLICT There has been considerable misunderstanding on the part of a number of members of the faculty in connection with the gathering of news by reporters by the Gamecock and those taking the journalism laboratory course. The Gamecock and the department of journalism are in no way connected and through the Gamecock sometimes uses news collected by the journalism lab, it is a regular practice of the Gamecock to cover every professor independently of those taking the lab. We regret that this dual reporting is necessary but because of certafn differences in material used we are forced to continue the system. / i Soc The co-ed Kappa Sigma Kappa dancc was an enjoyable alTair?for the girls.
