T e Very Idea! By IUUTON E. SHOOK *} * * * * * * The contest for the presidency of the student body waxes, to say the least, hot. Charges and conter-charges are filling the air. Mud, (not beauty clay either), is being flung with reck. less abandon and innocent by-stand ers are in grave danger of being hit. If you ever committed an indiscretion, you had better duck until this election is over. Political skeletons are being dragged from dusty closets and vigorously shaken and their eerie rattle is very discomforting to various parties. The campaigning has all the refine ment, fairness, and sublety of a Chica go "pineapple" contest. Truly, several pages have been torn bodily from Big Bill Thompson's book on "Votes At Any Price." Our campus is untra nodern. We have emphatically ar rived. * * * * * * * * One of the most distasteful features of the whole election affair has been the rise of a would-be Mussolini, a self-appointed dictator who hands down his arbitrary decision with the air of finality that one would expect from the delphic oracle, a petty gov ernor, or the supreme court. The student body has in'variably resented being dictated to in the past and justly so. Whether an overlord is to be accepted at this late date re mains to be seen. I hope hot. This student body is quite capable of making its own decisions when .)oards appointed for the purt)ose fall down. ... ft is my opinon that the president of the student body has overstepped him self in declaring on the eligibility of a certain student -o run for the office Df president of the student body. He has taken unto himself authority neither written or implied and in so doing has forfeited the support of the student body. Whether the campus sees the matter in this light remains to be seerm.

Gentlemen: The agent wvhile going through his plunder stored in our baggage room came across a can of your tobaeco, and account of his not using a pipe he made me a present of this tobacco. You will note the revenue stamp and your memo which was inclosed. The tobacco was put up in 1910, six teen years ago. But it was in good shape, of remarkable flavor, and was greatly enjoyed by me. Thought you would be interested irn knowing how your tobacco held out in these days of fast living.

April 15th, carried an article entitled "'1'heatres of the South" on the South of Times Square page. Amo::g some of the lit le theatres of several universities and cities of the 5outh was mentioned' the Town Thea tre of :he University of South Carolina. The comment concerning tlht pru, gramme at the Town Theatre this year was very favorable. It gave a list of lie productions and especially stressed the fact that this particular theatre was making an at cmpt to give its patrons the very best numbers. Mr. Dean, director of the Town Thea tre, is responsible for these exceptional ly good nt mbers and is working hard to pu this theatre on a higher basis. 't is very scldom :hat the New York Tunies looks this far South to pay its compltimeu s to what seems to us to be a miior affair. But this shows that Mr. Dean's work is receiving recognition by those who are capable of judging. Only a few weeks ago the Theatre Arts Craf. magazine brought this out by a rather lengthy comment on a p'lay presen ed ;t the Town Theatre, under the direction of Vil;iamt I)ean, entitled "The Show Karesh And Russell To Debate Georgia Debate In University Chapel On - .
