MUCKENFUSS, JR., Man'g Editor Buuiness Wanagem Carolina Needs Marriage Course The interest shown by students in hearing Mrs. Mil. dred I. Morgan during her two day visit on' the campus has stimulated discussion of problems never before brought to light and has pointed undeniably to the need of a new addition to the curriculum of the University a course in marriage and problems of adjustment to the opposite sex. That such a course would immediately attract stu dents to its classes is seen in the number that turned out to hear Mrs. Morgan. Although the meetings came at a time which would ordinarily break into the routine of the average stu dent and make him stay away, the chapel was filled every time she spoke, and the readiness with which students entered into discussions showed that they had not come for curiosity. Recently a delegation from Alpha Kappa Gamma at tended a national conference, and at this conference it was found that the University of South Carolina was the only school represented which did not offer a course in marriage. Smaller colleges . had instituted courses a number of years before. It is plain that men and womeneof today are facing difficulties which have never been faced by preceding generations and for which there is no help offered in get ting around them. Changes in the economic system have brought up new problems that ruin many college students' chances for happiness because they do not have any idea how to solve them. In the past few years the University has made prog ress in enlarging its curriculum, improving its organiza tion, and making the physical plant modern and up to-date. Now visible to all South Carolinians is a new spirit at Carolina embodied in the actions of authorities to expand and improve the University. Those shaping the destinies of the University in making its influence extend to every field of activity cannot fail to see the need of a course in marriage. Today more than 200 of the 672 colleges in the United States are offering courses in preparation for marriage; twelve years ago, only 22 were being given. These courses have been established mainly by student demand, and in many cases it has been done over the #opposition of trustees and faculty. Thus, it seems that whether the benefits of Mrs. Mor gan's visit will end with her departure or grow into a drive for a continuation of instruction along these lines rests entirely with them. Remember Sumter Fair? The Gamecock was surprised to learn early this week .that some people of South Carolina take careful notice of some of the things printed in its columns. In one of the issues of the Sumter Daily Item, recognition, al though it was uncomplimentary recognition, was taken of an item which appeared in the sports column last week. The people of Sumter, according to the story, were incensed because Carolina students did not heartily en dorse the part of the Sumter County Fair association in charging them a price to see the Davidson football game. In fact, they were insulted because The Gamecock suggested that the yearly trip to Orangeburg with a free dinner, free admission to the fair grounds, and free ad mission to the game was much to be preferred to a sim ilar trip to Sumter with no dinner, no free admission to the grounds, and no free admission to the game. And in order to even things up, the Item editorialized in the story and made slurring remarks about the sports writer and the authorities of the University for allow ing "such language" to be used in a campus publication, and closed the story with suggesting a remedy for pre venting a repetition of the occurrence. In reply to the Swmter Daily Item, The Gamecock points to the fact that there is no faculty censorship of our paper. Students placed in responsible positions on the campus are trusted to fill their positions in their /own way, and University authorities have always been proud of the fact that the has been no abridgement by them of freedom of the press on campus publica tions. Carolina students serving on publications have re spected this freedom and have not used it to ridicule or 'eriticise unnecessarily. However, they have not hesi tated to express their opinions when they felt that they were being imposed upon. A significant fact is that the sports writer was not merely expressing his own resentment, but was giving the opinion of' moat Carolina students when he objected to- the exploitation of our football team and students by outside agencis, .ee httepopeo utrwl * The, Ga'necock beivesta h epeorutrwl tealise this and pass the matter over without comment, It does not attempt to retaliate at the Item by casting e$i' at t)e people of Sumter; The Gaimecook does not ~ *~ hat 4h people of Sgratet aare "unintelligent" t2 h paper become~S oedt#J W41 0 TWuO aOFa THE wok.

Bill Rogers-Senior, law: "Such a course would be worthless unless a competent person is obtained as profes sor. Necessarily that will cause quite an additional expense to the already financially harassed University. The needs of many of the present departments are quite obvious, and. I think that all possible assistance should be first rendered to those existing." Ellen Verner--Senior, Arts and Sciences: "I think it would be a pretty good idea. Some of us might never know any other way." Betty Comstock-Olass of '38: "Yes, I think such a course would be a great help to University students if the right lecturer could be obtained. The attendance at Mrs. Morgan's lectures show that students have a k:een interest in these problems and would welcome instruction and ad vice." David A. Webb-Senior, Arts and Sciences: "Very good, that is if the instructor either a man or woman, has been successfully married for several years." Philip Wilmeth-Bophomore, Arts and Sciences: "I think it would be a fine thing. There are far too many unhappy marriages these days; and nothing is more important to any man or woman than a happy marriage."

Hie told an assembly of students that ins. "security seems to be the one thing that young people do not want." Dr. Wilbur has a point there. Life is an adventure, andl young men go back each day to the employment ' agency with ardor and ambition. Youth wants oppor h a tumity, not security ; if they miss meals and tramp the ay- highways of America for a place to stay, that's just part can of the gamne. There's no point in worrying about to lith morrow's breakfast. fo Adventurous modern youth wants the security of a job ing, and a decent way of living? Ridiculouis! As Dr. Wil- , do bur says, "Young people should be filled with the will rof. ingness to run risks, and leave security for their later it, years." go- D)r. Wilbur understands, of course, that things are ear, rather difficult right now. The fantastic New Deal leg een islative program has so shaken the confidence of busi at- ness that industry 'cannot place this newer generation. 'ing Our schools and homes are turning boys into the streets; ..by the thousands. Security is a tempting mirage of' iyes idealistic, impractical students. for For youth, security is often a form of "semi-petrifica ing tion." But materialistic young men, those who feel that ean their society is as much to blame for the dilemma as hadr themselv~es, are still jumping at the chance of three ose square meals a day or an opportunity to continue their fr- education under Federal security. -We know that Dr. Wilbur realizes that the present~ ril- tentative program of Federal security is keeping thou-' re sands of young men from the despair of hopeless job". ow hunting. -But adventure and courage are matters of principl ohrn Dr. Wilbur pledges the.youth of Amieric# to the b pialine, anything, rather than acoeptande Qf this is 010Dal romrntof usaumalt.
