Gameco "First - New ratings for college papers belonging to the Associate Col legiate Pres were announced this week, and the Gamecock received notice that it was placed in the "first class" bracket. These ratings were made "by Judgments on the papers during the fall semester of this year. Robert Quinn, and Don Law, both in the armed services now, were editor and managing editor respectively, of the Gamecock during that time. This rating is a drop for the Gamecock, which for the past sev eral years has been rated as "All American". The rating of first class is the second highest rating a paper can be given. Reasons for the drop were given by Sarah Flintin, present editor of the Uamecock, who said, "In my opinion, this drop was unavoidable. With a smaller enrollment. we had, during that semester less money with which to run the paper, and a much smaller and less experi enced staff than we have had in the years in which the Gamecock won "All-American". "I am proud that with the situ-s ation as it was the paper rated "first-class", and the present Maff only hopes it can do as well."

The "Corsairs" will be under the command of Sophomore Rut Os borne. Drill of the platoon, of around thirty-five members, is supervised by Chief Specialist Arthur Fourier. The history of the platoon is short since its organization took place in October of last year. Its formation was, to a great extent, accidental. Because of a challenge from the C.A.A. unit attached to the Univer sity, some twenty students were selected to represent the unit. The students chosen for the competitive drill readied themselves by ad ditional early morning practice. Success in their first drill match prompted a vote to continue the extra drill sessions. Later the pla toon began participation in Uni versity functions, at first by leading football parades; then by parading at a Navy Day celebration. The platoon gave an exhibition drill be tween the halves of the Carolina Furman game. At the beginning of second se mester the original platoon was en larged, given its present name, and placed on a permanent basis. THE CAROLINA LIFE INSURANCE CO.
