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."
Ratings for the paper (uring the
present semester will be announced
during the slimmer.

Carolina Corsairs
The "Carolina Corsairs", crack
drill platoon of the University
Naval R.O.T.C., appears on Gibbes
Green this afternoon in an exhi
bition parade drill as a feature of
clean-up day.
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.
