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.

HONOR SYSTEM J
SUBMITTED SOON
(Continued From Page 1)
Buie acted as secretary, and R. B. F
Hildebrand presided.
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
