They also de clared it not representative of the student body. Quite right were they, too, on both declara tion. 'l'he present committee, composed.of students and faculty members, does not profess to be that Student-Faculty committee provided for the student-body constitution. It is, actual ly. larger than the constitutional group. The constitution states: "There shall be es tablished by the student council a committee on Student-Faculty Relations. This committee is to be composed of the presideift of the Co-ed Association, the first vice-president of the stu :ient body. the Dean of Women, the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, the President :>f the Uliversity, three students chosen an mally" by the student council, and three faculty relpresentatives chosen by tie faculty.

It is onie of the most sensibile ideas I've heard for ages. Th'le neceds for a new university arc great, buildings, made more compact. the campus more attractive, and the greatest need of all is space to have a fraternity and sorority row for all the htouses. BUCK CURETON . . .I think the schiool is perfectly situatedl. JOHN REESE . . . I favor anythiing t hat will improve tm UJniversity, but it, is the faculty unot the plant that makes a utni versity good or hetter. If the state has a surplus to spend, put it into getting a more adequate faculty. Sinking Sand .+ By ANNE SEARSON Another week, another Gamecock, but-ah, n.ever fear, friends, the same old us! regardless of speculation to the con trary. What with obnoxious characters pursuing us with hatch eta-and others not pursuing us at all! To be frank with you, we sense a certain feeling of coolness when we inflict our presence on canteen cliques; an inexplicable silence seems to envelope all. Hence, we would like to here insert t.hat you of campus life need know no fear of our pen-we are indeed the soul of secrecy. For what indeed is this column for-just a few secrets between friends! This Is No Secret The cigarette shortage has Iii some way touched each one of us. Perhaps you have watched your roommate shredding Turkish towels and ignit ing them for consumption (not quite like a Camel but it hoids its owi with a 'Tarreyton !) Maybe you were present. when the V-12 actually smiled at the RO and uttered this cordial greeting "Lum a ci., kid!'' . However, there's one thing that this sort of situation does do for people . . . It spurs tl'e ingenuity of tli - race into acting for any and all op portunities. By way of deniutstratin g our point, at, the University Players recent and highly successful production, there was a scene where one o' the actresses picked up a. jar containing cigarettes and threw it across the stage. The curtain was sulbsequently drawn, leaving the veeds scattered all over the footlights. Immediately, two eager lads from the unit fashed forward, scrambled on the stage, and filled their pockets. Bouquets to 10's Tindall and Wilson, mission accomplished and deed well done. You've set a line example for y ur classmates, and now if your fraternity brothers "ju-t don't, uni bum inti all oil of yo uu. it. will have been well worth your while. Tison!!'s Camera Campaign Someone should have sent out st rm aiarnings or at least have given the campus soic sort of hint what was coming when Anne Darby got loose wit i a camera last week. The 1945 annual will at least he endowed witii appropriate colors because there were several unsuspecting profs anl st udes who were photograpihied wit Ii truly garnet ana black expressions. Professor Sherrill begged a few moment slace from the fiend i lh anntual editor and tidiod up tilhe desk neatly before the shot was taken. The ever revolu1tionarV - ever. unprelictable, and still uundeniably charmaing IIavilah l'al.eoek look as contrary stand, and insisted on w reeki g i havc 'ot the papers on his desk before allowing the Camera squad to dlo their work.
