bIrobIem Faculty Advisory Committee Formed False Opinions Of USC n Caused By Past Events s a Problems concerning the Game- b cock, were discussed last week by 'I President J. Rioi McKissick at a t, meeting of the Clariosophic literary s s society..At that time he announced to the group the formation of a a faculty advisory board to handle a Gamecock questions and aid in the V constructive criticism of the paper. Doctor McKissick introduced his talk with the statement that in the 0 past many false opinions about the .1 University have been formed be- I cause of erroneously written stories and one-sided adverse editorial criticism directed toward individual students and faculty members. t Board Members Appointed t The board appointed consists of the president; Dean S. C. DePass of the School of Journalism; Prof. a Frank Wardlaw, instructor in jour- a nalism and director of the Univer sity news service; and Dr. Havilah Babcock, head of the English de- 0 partment. il In his remarks concerning past harm done to the University by the t Gamecock, Doctor McKissick said, c "! do not refer to it (the Game- c cock) under its present administra tion, because I believe that Editor I Brittain and his staff earnestly de sire to serve the highest interests of = the University." The talk was made in a question and answer form in which the pres ident explained the functions of the new committee and some past er rors in Gamecock management. t Regulation Discussed p "Does the regulation of the Board s of Trustees of the University mean c that The Gamecock cannot publish t any criticism? a "No. It means that The Game cock should not publish criticism I which would injure the University p and that all criticism printed should b be fair-that is, should take into account all essential facts and fac tors, should not go off half-cocked. Constructive criticism, as distin guished from merely destructive a criticism, is permissible. Neither the news nor editorial nor other col umns should be open for the satis- b faction of personal or political a grudges, griev nces or dislikes. "Is the function of the Faculty Advisory Committee merely to eliminate certain matter from The l Gamecock? b "No. It is equally the function of s the committee to do all it can to improve the newspaper through constructive suggestionIs and advice. The members of the committee pos sess a total experience of more than ( 60 years in newspaper work and teaching journalism which is made available for the service of The - Gamecock. Committee FunctionsI "One of the functions of the Fac ulty Advisory Committee is to es tablish more uniformity and con tinuity in the contents of The Gamecock. All editors and staff members have not been of equal ability and equal devotion to dluty. A capablc editor and staff have of-. ten been succeeded by an inferior editor and staff. The Faculty Ad visory Committee can help in such a situation. . "Look Por MEHLMAN'S Ia 1427 Main~ BUSINESS 1 IS ESSENTIAL TO EVERYV COLLEGE MEN i DAY. NIGHT.

C. And Georgia Save In Sports "Can South Carolina declare war on Georgia?" Recently an operator at the University telephone exchange answered a call from a man in Columbia who fired this ques tion at her. The operator's hes itation caused the man to ex plain that he was not playing a joke, that he was in the midst of an argument about the ques tion and would really like to know. The operator replied that she was sorry, but she did not know. In a few minutes the persist ent man called back to ask if she knew where he could find out if states could declare war. So the operator rang the Law building for him. A young lady answered. She, too, did not know the answer, but found in a legal tone for him that one state cannot de clare war on another. This decision promises a new era of peace between the "sand lappers" of South Carolina and the "crackers" of Georgia gridiron wars excluded.

The course will be taught by Hugh Williamson, director of the department of music. The new course came about as a result of William Barringers' recent gift of an expensive organ to the music department of the University. The organ is "on the way" to the chapel. Mr. Barringer is the manager of the Hotel Columbia. The organ came from his plantation home in Colleton county. Mr. Williamson declared that the dimensions of the chapel room where the organ will be placed have been taken. The organ is expected to be set up for playing in two weeks time. A demand on the part of students for instruction in organ made the course possible. A well established piano technique is a necessity for good organ play ing. Only those students demon strating sufficient piano study will be admitted to the courses in organ. Materials will be assigned to fit stu dents' needs throughout the four years with emphasis on the playing for various church services. conmittec, it is understood that the group is compo-ved of fourteen, including student, administration, and faculty representatives. -Garnet And Block (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) James Howe, Charleston, were edi tor and business manager respec tively of the 1941 Garnet and Black.
