POLITICAL POT (Continued From Page 8) The tace for secretary is exciting some interest. Jimmie Morrison and Kenneth Grimsley have announced themselves from the Law School. It has been brought to the attention of the writer that Bob Gressette will carry the colors of the academic in this race. If Bob is anything like brother Furman, we can look for an other of the most colorful leaders that ever graced the Carolina campus. The writer, as a freshman, learned a lot of politics from Furman. The big parties seem to be slow in swinging into line. The Unholy City clan, alone, has its organization com plete. The Rutledge Republicans are fast coming out of the fog. The Tam many Tigers are still in a state of dormancy. They, however, caused a tremor in political circles last week when they awoke long enough to sup port The Gamecock constitution. May be the old Tiger is sleeping with one eye open. The last minute entry of the Wood Clan (formerly inaccurately called Mexico) has caused some sur prise. The Green street machine, it is understood will do whatever the Unholy City clan does. The writer has been asked to pub lish his opinion as to the present sta tus of affairs. He will do so, but this is by no means a final prediction. He will carry a more definite statement next week. It appears that in the presidential race, Burt Moore with the backing of the Unholy City clan has the lead. Ju lian Beall, with a large personal follow ing, but no organized party is probably pushing Burt for the top. Norris, with the backing of the Rutledge Re publicans, is probably running a good third. None of the above mentioned are leading far enough that if a strong party would throw its strength to any of them, or even to any other candi date, that they could be assured of getting in the second race. Tammany has the potential strength to elect or defeat any man in the race; and should the Green street machine swap sides the same thing may happen. The final outcome, according to the writer, de pends on what these two units do on election day. Here are a few of the campaign cries going around the campus: Down with ring control! Carolina offices for Carolina students! Down with Athleticsl Beat Clemson! Strike a lusty blow for democracyl Beat Rut ledgel Beat Tammanyl Down with the Unholy City clan! There will be a lot more before next week. Look in this column for them. Be sure to read The Gamecock be fore going to the poles next week. The writer will give you the party tickets along with his own choice opinions as to how much water they will hold. You will also get a review of the Euphradian elections which space prevents being given in this issue. ---U.s..

Stewart has been interested in the radio since his entrance at the Uni versity. Heretofore, however, his ef forts were directed only at the per fection of home-made receiving sets. Having gotten these to the point where London and Paris could be heard almost any favorable night, he became interested in the construction of a transmitting set. Several months ago he completed it, had it tested, and then applied to the United States De partment of Commerce for an amateur radio transmitting license. Before se curing it, he had to pass an examina tion covering the theoretical side of radio. The license was finally secured on April 19th.
