More Open Politics
As the excitement of spring elections peeps across tuie
horizon of campus politics, and one mat has openly an
nounced, a number of students no doubt, are wondering
what turn our system of campus politics wiil take this
year. \Vill open politics become estabi,ihed at laroliuil
or will the old order of clandestil.e poitics Io!d its own
\Viil the studen:s of the University of South Carolina
adopt the modern and Ilore sat isfact olry way oif ut conducti l,
student affairs or will they plodt alol.g in the smile oc:

the aspirants in the cominig elec:ions conduct their cam
paigls in the un certaii chaos of secrecy or will they t;et
the t"i ,c"ts hi,i. ten and say, "I want the ofiice"? \\-I

in stating that oipen tpol itics are very desirtable atid even

Condiuucting~ camtipis aitaars ini secrecy is unfair, botht

Secret politics are unf ai-r to the s!ttidents becat se they

pledge.

women for that matter, who are contemplating eniterinig
the various races which will come off in the very near

A Telephone
Mrs. Moon recently expressed her willingness to send
telegrams for the students and members of the faculty
who desire her to do so. This would be a great con
venience to the University at large. It would save the
students who find it necessary to send telegrams the trouble
of having to go to the telegraph office. Then, too it wouid
save the freshmen who are not fami-liar with the for
malities of sending telegrams some embarassment. Mrs.
Moon's service along this line is very desirable and she
is to be commended for her offer.
Thle rendition of this accomodation is practicall' im
possible unless a telephone be installed in the post office.
The price of installing and maintaining a phone is so small
that the Gamecock sees no reason why Mrs. Moon should
not be given one, The post office needs a phone anyway.
\Vhy? For the simple reason that the members of the
university, especially the faculty and s:udents who have
phones in their tenements, and others with whom Mrs.
Moon has to deal can be communicated with quicker and
with more satisfaction. ............
The Gamecock wishes to call to the attention of the
authorities the need of a phone in the post office and also to
urge that one be put in immediately.
