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.

This contest was conducted in conjunction with the cooperative program begun last September as an experiment by the secretarial science classes.
