F-ditor of The Gamerock:
Please let me commend most heart
ily your editorial in the first issue of
The G;amecock "Start Now andl Remain
Honest." Since character building is
the most important feature of a col
lege education it is of greatest impor
tance that the matter of the honor
system be stressed at the beginning ol
the college course. It has been m~
experience that most people,want to b<
honest and if they can just get the
idea that honor is a part of them anc
of their college and that they are ex
pected to uphold it, their way will be
made much smoother.
I cannot dlose without approving
the fine tone of your paper.
Yours very truly,
R. Beverley Herbert.

Plans Fc
Extension Campaign Mapped Out
For 14 Vice-Presidents; Num
The Alumni Association of the Uni- b
versity of South Carolina has made n
plans to carry on an intensive cam- p
paign in the interest of the University f,
between now and next June, accord- n
ing to Barney Earley, Alumni secre- a
tary. At the meeting of the Associa- t,
tion held last June during Commence- ii
ment the Constitution of the organiza- a
tion was amended so as to increase the n
number of vice presidents from seven s
to fourteen. The State is now di- t1
vided into 14 Judicial Circuits instead t
of the seven old Congressional Dis- t
tricts. A vice-president presides over t,
the counties of each of these circuits. t
There are eight members at large of t
the Alumni Council who are elected n
for terms of two years each, they t
having been elected originally so that a
four members are holdovers each year t
and four are elected each year. The ;
14 vice-presidents, the eight members t
of the council, the presidents and the f
executive secretary form the Govern
ing Board of the Alumni Association.
u
Every section of the State of South
s
Carolina is well represented in the
v
Government of the Alumni Associa
tion.
The vice-president of each Judicial
Circuit will hold a get-together meet
ing of all Alumni residing in the coun- c
ties composing his circuit at some time
during the Fall and Winter months.
The purpose of these meetings will be ti
to form permanent Chapters for each
Judicial Circuit, and to thoroughly or- d
ganize the interest and work of the t
former students for the progress of "
the University. There are many things nt
that the Alumni can do that will be \
of inestimable value to the University
in the future, they can best accom- u
plish these things by being thoroughly L
organized and working together along i
an accepted program. The officers of n
the Association are very enthusiastic p
this year and have already done a lot ww
of preliminary work. tl
These proposed meetings of the si
Alumni will not be for the purpose of a
raising funds for any purpose what- tl
soever, but on the other hand will A
