Edt/ora/ Youth's Complex Last Friday we were privileged to attend the reorganization and revival meeting of the South Carolina Weekly Press Associa tion. After a dormant three years due to th( well known cause, those county newspaper people have given renaissance to an organi zation that has played, and can play, an ac tive and important part in rural communit. life. Among the main points discussed at the meeting here was a topic lead into by Mr Robert Cooper, chairman of the all impor tant State Planning Board. He commented .that the South suffers from an inferiority complex, particularly does its youth. "Southern youth is altogether too ready to harken to Horace Greeley's and the big railroad magnates words of yesteryear . . too ready to leave the South for points west." His statement is not news. Nor was his so lution to the problem: to make the South more appealing, and to teach the younger generation that there is opportunity here. Not only does the problem apply to techni cal fields, but to the arts, and more especially to newspaper work. Mr. W. W. Smoak, retiring president of After. Thought The Buck A Month club, BAM, is now sponsoring a campaign to raise $50,000 for athletics at the University of South Carolina. The drive is being made through the busi nesses in Columbia, and is, as it's circulars unquestionably point out, a good thing. Indeed the value of' publicity that a fine football team brings the University and the City of Columbia is hard to weigh. It comes pretty high. It also j)ays oft in large divi dends. The Gamecock encourages Columbia hisi nesses to contribute to the cause. We do not doubt the value of' a top-notch football team but we have a reservation of thought. For a long time it has been the philosophy that a good football team is es sential to the success of the University. It would seem that the public cares more about this than it does the educational standards and opportunities at Carolina. It isn't yet a question of which is more important, and probably never will be, because Southern folk don't think along those lines. Congrats! The Gamecock has words of comentilation for the organizations that participated in the homecoming displays. For t he second( time in recent weeks Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity has won first prize in the decor'at ing department. Pi Beta Phi, in the womeni's department, has won the homecomine c-aI All of the displays showed n)o smiall amount of ingenuit.v. Indeed, we would as Ugh!

FY Speaking the Association and editor and publisher of the Press and Standard, told us that he wished our generation would - take more interest in the community newspapers. He pointed out that there are very few young people learning the business now. Just how the plew generations are to be made interested in such a field is a prob lem. Possibly the solution is education. It is something that we know little about. In the Journalism School here at the University there ,is only one course in the community newspaper. The Gamecock w%voild suggest as a means of introducing students to these newspapers that the- students go into the comrniiunity and actually put out an edition. This was dlone by journalism students last spring on the Spartanburg Herald-Journal. If such a plan coulk be included in each semester, both students ad newspapers would benefit. This is the old old theory of learning by loing. It is so ol that it is almost forgotten in the io<lern college life. The Gamecock <dares to say that a student can learn more in putting out one of our editions than in several lectures. Too much emphasis is laid on "textbook" education anl not enough on "practical training." Yet when we lose an outstanding teacher in the English department to another college because of salary, one doesn't find it in the daily papers while Carolina's 'loss of Bill Milner to Duke is still being molrneld in many columns and by many people. Why not subsidize the faculty a' well as athletics? Why not make it possible for out standing edlucators to spenId a year or sO here? Why isi1't an organization formel to raise money or get money from the Gen1 eral Assembly to put the University on an etual e<lucational f'ooting with other schools in the United States? Why? Anyone even remotely coniected with the University of South Carolina wants to be proul of the institution. The RAM club is workiig at it from one angle. [I* their drive is a success, and it will be, we have gained a name in athletics. Our teams are better than those of the Univer sity of Chicago. But which school would a studient choose?
