The Political Pot "Always Bubbling Over" L_ /I The Gamecock wishes to announce that Robert H. "Punk" Atkinson is the author of The Political Pot. For reasons that Mr. Atkinson did not care to make public, he has written this column in secret in the past but now it is deemed necessary to make this public announcetnent. I do not intend to make this column merely a thriller by filling it with sensational news, but a medium for real political news on the campus and opinions formed from time to time. 1 am heartily in favor of open politics and have expressed myself so many times. Open politics lead to party politics a thing that the University and the state need very much if the best interests of the public arc to be promoted. Julian Bcall, student body president, announced that a student body meeting will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock for the purpose of making nominations for May Queen. The election for the said office will be held Friday of this week on the campus green between the hours of 9 A. M. and 4:30 P. M. Everybody should take advantage of his or her opportunity to vote for that is a public duty that everyone owes his country, school and self. No candidates have announced themselves in the race for May Queen. Two young ladies mentioned for the position arc Florence Barbour and Mary Aldrich Wyman. It would not be surprising to hear either or both of them nominated Wednesday. Tammany, the political pirates, will not run a candidate, but may decide to support Miss Barbour. Several other Columbia girls arc rumored to be possible candidates. May the most deserving win! The most outstanding event of the campus since the last issue of The Gamecock was the committee meeting that met last week to consider the new proposed honor system. After very heated discussion by local law-makers and campus leaders, it was decided to submit the proposals to the student body at an early date. Think it over, as presented in this issue. Next week the probable outcome of the Clariosophic elections will be foretold as well as the outcome of the May Queen elections or any further developments that may rise unexpectedly concerning the honor system. In the meantime do your duty as a citizen of the University and VOTE when the time comes and THINK when you should. It will produce a bigger and better University even if the legislature and the governor did hit us a terrible blow. ************************ ? a * ? ? * } * | Go Grade A" f | tourist third | | cabin ... * I LEVIATHAN I This season, brand new Tourist Third CabinontlieLEVIATHAN, * World'sLarge8tShip...theentire * ^ second cabin assigned to "Tourist J it Third"... all its beautiful public * rooms and stateroom?... its el?- * J gant, open upper deck social hall * which gives you a full sweep of * the sea... its charming cloistered * ? smoking hall.. .its vast open and ? fir enclosed decks for play and prom- * enades... luxuries and spacious- * J ness exceeding former standards ? for this class.

While not in final form, The Gamecock publishes in substance clauses of the proposed code. Honor Code Outlined It is recommended that the honor A committee be reinstated to have jurisdiction over the academic school r' (ierm academic to include all divi- a sions of the University except the E School of Law.) ^ Honor committee is to consist of a two representatives, one man and one \] woman, from each of the four academic classes. Representatives are to be elected by ? their respective classes at meetings called for that particular purpose. * Elections of the three rising upper r. classes shall be held the first week in May; that of the freshman class the V first week in November. ~ Decisions of the honor committee ! would be final and absolute. A defendant would be convicted by a vote of every member of the committee, 4, save one. Conviction would carry indefinite suspension, except in cases of * freshmen violators whom the commit- " niay sce fit to treat more leniently. s Members of the committee would be nominated, if they complied with P character requirements, by a compos- ^ ite committee of the president of each class, the two senior members of the s honor committee, and two represen- " tatives (One man and one woman) ? elected by each class to serve on the ^ nominating committee. Each class would present at least four nominees for its two vacancies May SuKKest Changes While no clause now listed deals definitely with the action of students t who see other students cheating or a violating the honor system, it is probable that a clause urging students to t report violators will be included. Many S members of the committee do not t favor making it obligatory to turn up F violators. 'I ... at tl Wf, ... in a A wl he a gr yo wi U ? 1929, Liqcktt A Myb?? Tobacco Co.
