Gamecock Office Given
Remodelling For Spring
By SAYE GASTON
With spring come changes,
ehanges in nature, changes in
classes, changes in clothes and
ityles. The Gamecock office is
riot being left behind. It, too,
has changed.
The walls have been painted a
light blue with woodwork in a
larker shade. These were then
rraced with murals of huge game
ocks, painted by Sam Boylston,
Gamecock cartoonist. As you en
ter, a -tremendous one seems to
run forth to greet you from the
right wall.
Upon glancing around one no
tices a mighty gamecock (the
managing editor Karvelas) hold
ng a whip over a lesser member
>f his staff who is rushing madly
about, papers and cigarette in
band, trying to please the big
boss.
The Sports Department has the
)ld Gamecock picking away at his
typewriter (no-not grains of
orn) trying to get all the dope
n print about Carolina's various
athletic events.
To the office of the editor and
the business manager have been
added two new steel desks. Candy,
the business manager, exhibits his
handiwork in the shape of a large
wooden name plate which graces
his desk.
With the new wall decorations,
and desks, the office boasts a few
new chairs still as they were de
livered-in other words-still tied
ip together. The customary lit
er of old issues of the paper re
poses on one table. Scattered
throughout is the same maze of
papers, pencils, glue, and so on
hat is usually found.
Still very noticeable is the de
plorable lack of typewriters,
though the old ones have been
repaired.
The Gamecock office has really
lecked itself out. The entire ef
Fect is that of a very business
like, busy plpe. The mighty
Gamecock casts glances which
ihow his supremacy at every
mngle.

Secretarial Science
Students Elected As
Perfect Secretaries
Alice Mullis of Columbia and
Sarah Gunter of Sanford, N. C.,
tied for winner of a contest to
elect the most perfect secretary
by students in the department of
business administration at the uni
versity, Elizabeth O'Dell, adjunct
professor of secretarial science,
announced yesterday.
This contest was conducted in
conjunction with the cooperative
program begun last September as
an experiment by the secretarial
science classes. Students major
ing in the two or four year busi
ness courses are required to work
50 hours one semester in business
offices on the campus. In this
way, they may gain practical ex
perience while working on a paid
basis, explained Miss O'Dell.
There are approximately 31 stu
dents in the two classes of sec
retarial science.
According to Miss O'Dell, the
program has proved to be success
ful and pleasant to students and
faculty members by reports taken
in a recent survey by the depart
ment.
