But also with this issue, "The Gamecocktretraces a hastily-made, though worthy step, and' announces that~this fall it will crow only once a week. At the beginning of the 1946 school- year, this publicatiorI realized the ambition of be coming a semi-weekly college paper, the first in South Carolina, as an experiment in the field of collegiate journalism. Since that time the impracticability of such a set-up has become evident, so much that this fall "The Gamecock" returns to a schedule of weekly appearances. This step was influenced by innumerable reasons, printing schedules and shortage of news print, advertising humbugs, but mainly by a lack of student interest in helping the "faithful few" get out a semi-weekly. In future years, the dream of a permanent semi-weekly, or even daily publication on ', the -university campus may become a reality. But, whether weekly or daily, "The Game cock" will continue to "Crow for a Greater University of South Carolina." "Now Read This!"
