In the student body elections this was noticeable: the same lady was elected most popular co-ed and pret tiest co-ed. * * * That bunch going to \Vashington is a noble crew, all loyal supporters of \Woodrow Wilson and latelv de voted children to their beneficent fathers. *** In looking over the votes cast re cently in chapel, some remarked that certain co-eds had received charity votes. Maybe so, but from their scattering character there didn't ap pear to be much choice, one way or the other. iIr. M. .\. Wright, former editor of 'T'II. GA.ME:coK, has la(le a dis tinct impression by his reports of the General Assembly for The News and Courier of Charleston. It all goes to show what a real shcet T iiE GAME:coC is. *** We do not mean to criticize in the least, far from us that we should put opprobritum on persons so hon ored, but when in voting on the University appropriation certain leg islators proclaim loudly that they are but inadequately informed on the state and the needls of Carolina, one cannot hellp but wondler whyli, in SIX weeks' stay so close to the cam l)us, thlese gentlemen have not paid uis a v'isit. Here are sonme "dlon'ts'' for the freshniien while in Washington: Don't take any wvoodlen mioney; don't buy a gol brick ;(don't think you ar~e the whole show, b)ecause you are in the same p)aradle wvith Wood row WVilson Scott ;don't tell the Pr-esident you have studied "The State," because you haven't; dlon't write your name in the cap)itol dome, because too miany fools have (lone it already. Student Elections Monday Morning. Notwithstanding the fact that its editor is dispenser of the cheapest wearing apparel known to the-cam pus, and its manager is a newspaper man and ought to know better, The Garnet and Black is a tightwad. It wouldn't allow T i i GA M ECOCK per mission to print results of the stu dent elections in the chapel Monday morning last. The Annual is be hind-hand in every way-those peo ple want to keep this stuff and priut it two months after it has occurred. But this much may be said, that there were some surprises in the re sults of the serious elections, and the comic rising votes brought out some very natural things. The freshest professor was deemed to be Mr. Jas. Woodrow, and the greatest living alumnus Mr. I)ouglas Sompavrac, late of Carolina and Furman. Mr. Latimer, of a variety of fame, was proclaimed the silly boob, and Mr. DesChamps the most lassitudinous mortal upon the Carolina campus. Other characteristic excellencies were also exposed. Will We be Represented? Last year when the politics of the American nation reached out into the uttermost parts of the country and attracted unparalleled attention, we saw the light dawning for the Democratic party and rejoiced for the election that would make \Vood row Wilson president of a mighty people. Coming from the president's chair of Princeton university and almost a new-born man in the polit ical world there was much doubt in the minds of the people as to the choice of this great scholar for the Democratic nominee. As time rolled on he grew in the favor of the con stituents that he aspired to repre sent as their chief executive, and soon the hope of our party was con ceivcd to rest in his candidacy. There are many factors that were elemental in the successes of this campaign, and they should all be ac credited with the part they played ; but especially are we concerned with the work that was clone by the or ganized efforts'of the Southern col leges and universities. This insti tution, unler the name of "Wood row Wilson Club" had branch offices or adjunct departments in all the Southern States, but its foundation andl headquarters were at none other p)lace than the University of South Carolina. This is an honor that we shotuld be proud of, and a wvork that will ever be continued in the p)residlential campaigns of this nation. B3ut the question naturally arises, has Carolina done all that is expected of her, or is there still a wvork to be (lone? The greatest p)rep)aration that has ever been mlade for the inauguration of a p)residlent is nowv nearing comn pletion for- the event of next Tues (lay. To us. one of the most inter esting featur-es of that clay will be thle ima ugrna process,on. - ong the colleges that will send represen tations to Washington for this pro cession should be first in importance, if not in order, the delegation from our own State university. Plans have been made to send a delegation to take part in the great parade of college men, but we regret to say that these plans are feeble to such an extent that the founder of the Woodrow Wilson club will not be represented. We do not wish to criticise any good that could pos sibly accrue from the attempt of one student body to send a representa tion to the inauguration of the great Democratic president, Mr. Wilson, but we do boldly and fearlessly con tend that a delegation of twenty students would not represent the dignity of this university and the part she played in this election. For some reason, we know not why, there is a lack of interest on the part of the students in regard to this trip to \Vashington. Of course there are many students who are not finan cially able to take advantage of this rare opportunity, but where are those fellows who could easily go? It is true that we have (lone our part in the past toward this cause that will be ultimate next Tuesday-and it is equally true that the same faith and spirit could send a dele gation of a hundred students to Washington to take part in the pa rade of college men. 1'he time is far spent and Caro lina's redemption is almost past. Fellows, we ought to be in that in augural procession a hundred strong, but if we can't send enough men to represent the institution in a highly creditable way-then let us go as in dividuals and not as a delegation from the University of South Caro liia.
