Projected Plan of Press Meeting Could Help USC In the last issue of The Gamecock before holidays was printed a story telling of the proposed plans of beginning a collegiate press association for schools in the South eastern states, Whereby these schools and the members of their papers might benefit by a regional gathering and localized topics of discussion. Questionnaires were sent out by The Gamecock to these schools asking their opinions. To date all of the answers have been favorable to this idea. The value of such an organization to Southern schools is limitless; common prob lems of our section can be pinned down and ironed out; future Journalists can study and learn more of their chosen vocation; it' will be a school within schools. The Gamecock has taken the initiative In this movement, with the hopes of carrying it through to success. By this means uni versity stock will jump considerably, but only through the concentrated efforts of its, and other schools', supporters. It'has been many years since the univer sity or any of its organizations undertook a movement of such wide proportions. Only time. will tell of its outcome. Ours Is No Bed of Oranges, But ..It Is a Good Example Some time ago the Orange Bowl Associa tion announced plans were under way to enlarge Miami's Burdine Stadium, present 'cene of the New Year's Day Orange Bowl football game, so that by January 1, 1948, slightly more than .60,000 fans could be seated, by the simple expedient of double decking the present stands, at a cost of ap Now Read Thi Official Organizati (Editor's note: All announce- Ice Is hold every ments must be registered at the p. 2!., In Flinn infqrmation deak In Maxey lobby Clr "sohi before being accepted for publi- will meet every cation.

I 1987Tihe addition of end-zone bleachers in emased its capacity -to 85,000. .-Now witt the .enlargement completed, the Otang Bowl will be pushing even the Sugar Bowl in New Year's Day competition. The University of South Carolina and the state's legislators could well follow this ex ample. For the past several years buyers ol tickets for the Carolina-Clemson game havi been refused by the thousands; many per sons in the "know" circle have said that, if the space were available, fifty or even sixty thousand fans would pack the stadium for this Fair Week tilt. There are those that might argue that the State Fair game is the only one where the seating capacity is overtaxed. However, if the stadium were enlarged, the additional crowd at the Fair game each year would pay for the building expense in a matter of sev eral years. If this plan seemed to fall short, bigger ticket drives could be put on for the remaining Carolina home games. And the assurance for some of getting a better seat might lure still more out to the stadiufn. Last year the Board of Trustees of the university passed a resolution requesting the legislature to delegate to them authority to, issue self-liquidating bonds for the sta dium enlargement. The House passed this bill, but the Finance Committee of the Sen ate pigeon-holed it until this year. A short while ago the Board of Trustees again re quested the legislature to act upon their resolution. It might be wise to point out to our seem ingly dollar-wise solons that the tax revenue on the additional tickets sold for a football game in an enlarged stadium would bring quite a sum of money into the state tills. The Carolina stadium seats slightly less than the original Orange Bowl; it, too; cnld be enlarged by adding end-zone bleachers and even a second-deck to the East and West stands. It, too, could be m'ade to pay for itself, even on just the Clemson game, as the Orange Bowl has done from revenues gotten on New Year's Day. Some day the University of South Caro lina will hit the big time in football circles. It wouldn't hurt any to be ready. Is Any Carolina Student Able to Help Senor Capo? Shortly before the Christmas holidays, The Gamecock received a letter from Al fonso Aguero Capo, of Aguas Buenas, Puerto Rico, enclosing 50 cents in stamps for payment of a subscription. But it seemed that, reading further on in the let ter, Alfonso wasn't exactly interested in the activities of the Carolina student body. He was curious, yes. But his questions concerned the system of sexing baby chicks, how to prevent cocks from fighting, and records for breeding one cock and ten hens. And at the end of the letter he asked for a catalog describing the breeding stock we have on sale. Since few on The Gamecock staff have delved into the science of raising cocks as a business, the stamps were returned to Al fonso, with the hopes that he may find the answers to his questions elsewhere in the field of publications. Still, some of our Southern conference opponents can testify that the breed we raise here most certainly is the fighting kind! on Announcements eThursday at 7:15 month in 101 Legare College al Hall. 7:30 p. m.

The life of the university is in extricably connected with the life of the state. If the university is disinterested in Its own affairs, so later will the citizens of the state be, for the 'attitudes ex emplified now, from those of the chrysallsic politician to a disin terested student, will be the ones on which future history will rest. It is foolish to think politics have no place in a person's life, dangerous to think these affairs can be trusted to an ambitious By BENJAMU MMMMM!!!
