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.
