Man'g EWtor Honor Day A Reminder Yesterday was Honor Day at the University. For some few students, it was merely something to break the monotony off routine; something to be looked on with idle curiosity, and forgotten as soon as it was over. To others, however it was a reminder that the honor system at the University needs the backing of every stu dent if it is to continue to succeed. The lonor System as it is established now is serving the University wvelr. It has helped to maintain the high standards of the University. Much credit for the value of the Honor System is due to personnel of the Honor Council. The members, leaders in character and purpose among the student body, have worked hard to build the Honor System up to its present position of respect on the campus. The Gamecock wishes the new members of the council, just elected, and the members who have been retained on the council, continued success next semester, and in all future semesters. The Tuition Question Legislation concerning increase in tuition and cut in appropriation for the University was still pending when The Gamecock went to press this week. The provisions of the bill concerning these phases of the University's finances were passed over when the measure was up Wednesday, in order that additional time might be given to the study of the bill. What the final outcome of the measure will be no one was able to guess Wednesday night. It was reported that certain leaders were considering leaving tuition fecs for residents of South Carolina as they stand now, but increasing fees for out-of-state stu dents to $300 per emeste. If the purpose of such an increase in out-of-state tui tion is to exclude non-resident students, it will succeed admirably. If it is to raise revenue for state institutions, we cannot believe that it will succeed. A large majority of non-resident students come to the University not only because it offers the opportunity for a good education, but because it offers the opportunity for a relatively cheap education. A great many will un doubtedly go to institutions nearer home if their fees here are increasedl to $300, or even $250. True, there will be some who wvill return. But the increase in their fees will not make up for the fees of the ones who will not return. If the University is to continue adequately to serve this state, and its 47 neighbors, the simplest solution seems to be not in raising tuition of resident or non-resi dent students, but in providing an adequate appropria tion, certainly not less than was granted last year. Thanks To the members of K. S. K., the Y. W. C. A., and others who aided in mailing out the high school edition of The Gamecock last week, the staff offers heartiest thanks. Without the aid of these interested students, the task would have been impossible. Carolina's W. P. A. "Cowpasture" Someone said that the fenced-in enclosure surround ing the construction operations of Carolina's new $657,792 library building looks like a cowpasture. Whether it does or niot, is not the question. The point is that the library, which some were be ginning to think had gone the way people thought the swimming pool was going, is actually under construc tion. One of the ways in which visitors and observers are prone to judge the quality of a school is by its library. It is true that Carolina has had a library that is filled with, books as well as with traditions, and was and is put to good use by students of the institution which it serves. It is also true, however, that the present library has been shown to be inadequate to meet the growth of the student body and curriculum of the University. Hence, the new library was sought, and obtained. It is bound to prove itself of inestimable value to the students and faculty of the University upon its corn pletion, both in itself, and in the added prestige that it will bring to the University as an outstanding edu eational institution.
