Write It up Now State Teachr That Story Welcone for Yaller SheetToOrCmu University of South Carolina VOL. XIX. COLUMBIA, S. C., FRIDAY, MARCH 19,1926 Constitutional Changes to go In Next Issue HONOR SYSTEM REVISIOIN Result of Forum Letters in The Gamecock-Spring Elections To Be Held in April In the next issue of The Gamecock will appear a report of the committee selected at the student-body meeting last Saturday to look into the advisability of drawing up a new student-body con. stitution. Several vital changes will be suggested, and a probable revision in the Honor System as it now functions at Carolina. Need for action has become more evi dent since The Gamecock broached thc subject in its editorial columns several months ago. Many articles pro and con have appeared in the open forum, including articles from students, alumni and members of the faculty. New plans will be brought before the students at large, so Ithat when the vote is taken, every man and womar on the campus will have had the oppor tunity to know about the changes and ignorance of the law will not be a plausi. ble excuse. The vote and comment of the students will form the guide for action by the committee. The first spring elections will be held next month and it is hoped by the com. 'mittee that the students response wii enable them to propose a proper and constructive piece of work. The discussion was first started by an open forum letter in The Gamuecocf by two students, and after that another letter defending the system was written The Gamecock then stated its opinion and informing editorials were written. As a climax to the discussion, a stu dent-body meeting was called for lasi Saturday. Upon a motion from the floor a committee was appointed by the presi dent of the student-body to draft a new constitution. From discussion at meet. ings of the body, the plans for the nen constitution will be drafted. On th< committee are, "Hick" Mills, nresident of the student-body; James Hicks, the chairman of the Honor Committee, and Isadore Poiier, editor of The Carolinia~ and former editor of The Gamecock. Hats and Teach And Sizes In Old and Young, Pale and Rosy, Discuss Work and Swap E Conversations on Cor Hundreds of new spring bonnets new coats, new dresses, new roses i1 faded cheeks; well they're all in Co lunmbia this week. They are here a' last, five thousand teachers from all over South Carolina; old teachers, young teachers, big teachers, little teachers. Teachers who teach because they love the work, and others whc are only teaching until a husband or something better can be anchored. Columbia is alive with them, they are here, there, everywhere, and any where on the street one can hear a conversation something like this; "well I whipped him good and sent himr home, and I said if the superintendent didn't like it T would leave because I had stood as much as I could, now wvhat would you have done ?" "Well, I don't blame you, but you know one day, one of my children etc. etc. etc." University students are doing much to help entertain the states' teachers ALUMNI ENJOY FEED --HELD AT 'Y.W.' CAFETERIA OVER 150 ARE THERE -USC J. P. Coates, President of Carolina Alumni Teachers' Associa tion Toastmaster At six o'clock this afternoon, the Carolina alumni had a banquet at the Y.W.C.A. cafeteria. Over 150 were present at the banquet and it is es timated that as many more are in town for the convention who did not attend the banquet. All Carolina graduates registered at the Chamber of Com merce rooms and were given a badge with a gamecock stuck on it-may have been seen on the streets. J. P. Coates, president of the Caro lina Alumni Teacher's Association, presided at the banquet, which opened by singing the alma mater. The in vocation was given by the Rev. J. O. Van Meter, and Dr. W. D. Melton made the address of welcome. Mrs. J. C. Coulter gave a toast to The Alumnae Association that was well received by those present. "The Superintendent and His Alma Mater" was the subject of the speech by T. C. jolly, and "The University in the Pee Dee Section" was discussed by C. B. Seaborn, former Carolina track and baseball star. Dr. Patterson Wardlaw was the last speaker and his subject was "The Uni versity and the Public School System." Mr. Maurice Matteson, director of music at Carolina, rendered special music. Carroll Abrams gave several selections on the xyolophone. The menu consisted of grape fruit, cocktail, baked chicken, dressing, sweet potatoes souffle. rice, cranberry sauce, green peas, congealed fruit, salad, rolls, coffee, ice cream and cake, candy and salted nuts. - U.s.c. - Hinnant Talks on Cancers of Stomach I.

University professors are also taking an active part in the convention, mak ing several addresses to the different groups of teachers. It might he mentioned in passing that studlents will appreciate all cuts whether given out of necessity or the goodness of the heart. -USC "You are charged with bringing two HTollanders into this country illegially." accusedl the immigration official. "What have you to say?" "I got this," objected the the culprit. "I don't see how there can be any law against a fellow getting in Dutch." THERE'S STILL TIME ! It was hoped that enough mater ial would be contributed for The YAIL,ER SHEET to run a -12 page iFsue, but judging from the contri butions handed in so far, it will hardly be possible to run a four page paper. THE YELLOW SHElT is for stories and not for poetry-hand that in to the Carolinian. So far, about one-third of the material has been poetry, and unless above the ordinary, it hits the waste basket. Tomorrow is really the last day for contributions, but material will be accepted through Thursday of next week. If you have something to contribute. write it now and get it off the mind. MEL TON ISSUES NEW DIRECTORY OF OLD "STUDES" HAS PRESENT ADDRESSES List of Unlocated Persons to Be Published ' Each Week Co-operation Asked Dr. Melton is preparing to issue this year a register of the names, present addresses, college attendance, and de grees, of all living students of the Uni versity from 1880-1925. The publica tion of such a list is of paramount in portance in stimulating again among U. S. C. men and women that feeling of solidarity that is so strong a part of University life. However, it is proving difficult to make the bulletin accurate, as many of the students have moved and left no forwarding addresses, have neglected to answer requests for information, or have died. The worst sinners in the way of failure to an swer requests are the students now in the University. ''he idea seems to be prevalent that the sending of cards to them is a mistake. It is not! Every one of them should have a card filed in the Alumni office, giving University address, and years of attendance. Besides filling out their own cards, the students will he doing a favor to the University if they will assist in lo cating alumni with whom we can not get in touch. Every week a list of names will be published in the Game cock; please look them over, and even if it is only one of them you know anything about, go in and tell the de partment. A suggestion as to other who might know persons on the list will help. Mrs. Melton is in charge of this work, which is carried on in the morning hours, up-stairs in the exten sion office building (old president's home.) Addresses or information of any sort regarding the names on the published list may be given to her or to Leah Townsend, clerk of the Alumni Office.

"well, I certainly a wouldn't act for a living." p Regardless of the way he feels a bout tI' it, and in spite of all the hard work, tr the actors agree that it is a great life, andl have been benefited greatly by the " exp)erience to say nothing of the ad- Ir vertisenment it has been for the Univer sity' of South Carolina. I' From the press notices for the last T wveek, one would come to the conclu- tl sion that the stutdents of the Univer sity of North Carolina are not the I only students in the South who can act anml (do North Carolina folk plays at that. jt~ Several critics who saw the original cast wvith Lucille LeVerne in Newv gi York have been generous in their st Carolina Has State Debate Tucked 4way ITADEL COMES SECOND ifter Three Warm Contests Citadel and P.

W. cott, representing the Carolina nega ve side, defeated the Citadel affir ative team of Caldwell and Duvall. his was probably the most warmly ntested debate of the three, each de entering into the question with )irit. The judges decision was four to ie for Carolina. The Citadel negative team, composed I Chadbourn and DesChamps, defeat. .1 the P. C. affirmative team, com )sed of Ligon and Patterson.
