Annual Editor Last Cc All Honors Must Be Listed By Thursday, Says Wauchope Unless each senior's list of honors is turned in to the Garnei and Black office by Thursday, the honors cannot be published in the annual, says Robert Wauchope, editor. He plans to go to Charlotte Saturday to complete the senior section at the publisher's. March 8, final date for pictures to be submitted for the annual's beauty contest, is fast drawing near, the editor points out. He advises that all entries be made well before that date. Time will not allow senior writeups, many of which have not been turned in to the senior editors, to be completed, since it is planned to conclude work on this part of the book Saturday. In order that those whose write-ups and honors have been held back may have some items below their pictures, the request that honors be turned in is made. Blanks may be secured at the Garnet and Black office, or from members of the staff. As yet but little interest has been manifested in the beauty contest, which closes March 8. The pictures of any girls may be entered, regardless of whether or not they ever attended the University, but those entering them must be students at the present time. Photographs in black and white glossy finish are preferred, say the art editors. PHITetaIc HEAR Larohna W1j hold an informal meet 1nvmiu ,aPeLat^:3? ?'c,ock Wednes day, March 5.

SOCIETIES PASS NEW CONSTITUTION VOTE TAKEN SEPARATELY Carolinian Matter Settled Wednesday At Joint Meeting Of Four Societies Unstirred by boy versus girl battles which blocked all constructive legislation last year, about 40 girls and 10 boys representing the Clariosophic, Euphrosynean, Euphradian, and Hypatian literary societies passed a constitution for The Carolinian Wednesday afternoon in the Clariosophic hall. Only minor changes were made in the new constitution, which resembles that of The Gamecock, and places the Student Board of Publications in charge of the magazine. An editor from one of the girls societies will be chosen early this month. Revisions demanded by the girls societies, which had read the constitution previously at separate meetings, were acted upon and changed by a vote of the committee in charge of drafting the constitution. Of this committee, R. H. Atkinson, chairman; Harry DePass, drafter; Dorothy YVhalcy, Darice Jackson and Nigel League were present in their respective societies. C. L. Scott, Clariosophic president, handled the gavel, and Bill Herbert, also a Clariosophic, acted as secretary. Each society voted as a unit. DePass read the constitution article by article, discussion followed, and then the societies went into consultation over each. As each society arrived at a ballot in favor of the article, a member rose and announced the decision. The few amendments made were offered before the individual societies, each sitting as a group, began their voting. R. H. Atkinson, chairman of the constitutional committee, declared that the purpose of the meeting was to "pass an enduring constitution for The Carolinian." DePass was requested by the presiding officer to read the constitution article by article, after Lawrence Case asked if this was to be the case. "The societies are trying to place publications at the University under a central head, but they do not wish to involve the Garnet and Black which is the student body's annual, until proper steps arc taken," DePass said in prefacing his reading of the constitution. ^ Articles one, two and three, placing The Carolinian under the Student Board of Publications, making only literary society members eligible for its staff, and establishing it as the (Continued on Page 3) Methodist Stui Meeting He i BEALL PREFERS BLONDE WOMEN TELLS WINTHROP DEBATER "Gentlemen prefer blondes," says Julian Beall, student body president, in the words which made Anita Loos' novel famous. "While I have no great store of experience to speak from, observation and association lead me to arrive at that conclusion." "Furthermore, it is harder to win the regard of a blonde than of a brunette," the student body president declared. He replied to a letter of Prof. J. W. McCain, Winthrop College, with these answers. Professor McCain will debate Prof. W. D. Maginnis, also of the Winthrop faculty, Tuesday night as the main feature of the Winthrop Debater's League program. Their query is "Resolved, that a blonde is more easily won than a brunette." Beall does not think so, according to his replies. They may therefore help Professor McCain, who is representing the negative of the query. "I did some serious thinking before I answered that letter," the students' president remarked.
