The Political Pot By R. H. Atkinson . " , As usual no first hand information could be had as to whom the faculty would appoint for the position of senior speaker. (In such matters it is as hard to get information from that body as it is from the sphinx and again they change their minds about as often as a lady on a shopping tour.) It seems though that this honor will rest upon the head of either A. C. Clement or E. 13, Norris. Norris might have the advantage as he is a little more experienced than Clement in oratory but on the other hand Clement has a powerful pull with the science department which may enable them to get their star elected. R. H. Atkinson is a candidate for the position of senior valedictorian. The chief opposition seems to be Frank Taylor. Of course any one may win but Taylor and Atkinson have been the only persons to come out and announce their intentions as such. Any one will find that either Taylor or Atkinson are deserving of this honor if their past records are indications of their ability. This is said in no way as a puff for myself but for the development of open politics and it is to be hoped that a person who gias announced his intentions of running is elected. O) . Tuesday night the boys' literary so.ciety goes into the election of officers for next term. In the race for prcsident will be two old rivals. Nigel League will oppose John Bolt Culbertto son and if past elections are any in;Q dications of heated elections then this ?j one will be a sizzler. At present it O seems that "Governor" League has ^ the advantage but watch this fellow Culbertson, for he is dynamite. J. J. Mack states that he will not S$ run for the position of president but will run instead for the position of literary critic of the society. His opposition seems to be no other than Ray Antley, the Columbia Record boy, This election seems to be a tossup. Tuesday night the boy's literary societies will elect the members of the student board of Publications. News has it that in the Clariosophic society will select two men from the following candidates: Riley Gettys, Joe Brown, and John Ballenger. From the Euphradian society the following arc candidates: M. H. Shepherd and Robert II. Atkinson. 1 he societies should use great care in selecting members for this board because it is necessary to have persons who understand the newspaper (?amc elected. Wednesday the Honor system will be the cause for a student body meeting. The plan of the new Honor system is practically the same as the old system with the exception that there is to be no form of appeal from the decisions of the Honor Committee except to the board of trustees. At the meeting held sometime ago in Sloan collegc to consider these plans this appeal point was argued against by Robert H. Atkinson and C. K Grimsley. These men contended thai a board of appeals should be formed to give persons shipped by the Honor Committee a speedy chance to obtain justice. This proposal was voted down but this writer thinks it necessary for the re-adoption of the Iionoi System. Think it over and come tc the student body meeting determined to vote the right way?for or against the Honor System. Well, there was about as litth politics in the May Queen election a: has been seen on this campus in man} a moon. This election showed tin high regards in which the campus at large holds Catherine Cantwcll. Maj the biggest and best coronation b< yours, Catherine. Remember to keep your eyes an< cars open during this period of politic; and elections. Think over these elec tions and principles and do your dutj as an American citizen by voting foi or against them as you see fit. Re member that only about one-third o the student body voted for the Ma; Queen. It should have been ovei 1500. The senior class met Tuesday morn ng after chapel for the purpose o electing the senior valedictorian but postponed until April 2:i 1 here was some talk of postponing this meeting until Thursday afte chapel so that the faculty could maki their choice of senior speaker, bu lord high Buie ruled otherwise. The student body will meet Wednes day at 10 o'clock to discuss the nev honor system. Elsewhere in this col umn will be found information on thi subject. EDENS SPEAKS AT 1 SOCIETY MEETING Committee Appointed To Protest; Resumption Of Honor System Favored By Taylor ( In a weekly oration before the Eu- 1 phradian literary society, "Happy" i Edens deplored the policy of Governor John G. Richards in vetoing parts of the University appropriation bill concerning physical education and personal service. Edens said that the governor, in declaring that these things could be dispensed with, was adopting a policy , detrimental to the progress of the University and the State. "The students should not sit idly by and see the future prosperity of the i University threatened, but should take a more active part in State politics and attempt to fill the office of governor with men who will be broadminded enough to realize wherein economy would be beneficial and not harmful," the speaker declared. A committee was appointed to senu a resolution to the board of trustees deploring the recent cut in the appropriations and explaining the stand of the students in the matter. A speech in favor of the rcadoption of an honor system was delivered by W. F. Taylor. Mr. Taylor explained < the mechanics of the system which will probably be proposed to the student body. Secretary Yates announced that Bland Hammond, H. F. Garris, LaBruce King, and Roy Prince, would be expelled from the society for non- i attendance if not present at the next meeting. u.s. o.

On the motion of Sam Taylor the society voted this amount to the handbook. The treasurer was authorized to make the payment at once. The matter was apparently settled when W. W. Jones arose and asked certain questions concerning the payments made by other organizations on the campus. The answers to these inquiries were not to Mr. Jones' satisfaction and he made a motion that the treasurer be requested to make no payments to this purpose until the society has investigated conditions and has further considered the matter. This was agreed. A entertaining literary program was further brightened by the absence of Messrs. Snelling, Singletary and J. M. Brown, all of whom were elected to participate. "Youth" was the topic of an extremely interesting oration by J. H. Galloway. Debating the query "Resolved: That the legislature of South Carolina shoud pass old age pension acts for teachers who have served for twenty years," the negative team of H. Bernard Stevenson and R. M. Newton defeated an affirmative team composed of Ragsdale Hewitt and J. M. Windham.
