For Campus Welfare Originating at Lehigh University, and touching similar institutions over the country, including Furman in South Carolina, the movement to limit the number of offices a man may undertake in his college career has becofne general. There are three recognized improvements in the new system, which cause its adoption. It prevents the "campus boss" from getting so many offices that he can do full justice to none of them; it allows others only a shade less efficient and popular a chance to try their hand at extracurricular activities; and it gives the "versatile leader" an opportunity to peruse a textbook occasionally. At Furman the activities are in three classes. When a man's non-scholastic occupations total 35 points he may not accept further responsibilities. The three classes are based first upon the amount of time needed to perform duties of each office, and secondly upon the importance of the office. Class offices are in the third group, but editorships and organizational presidencies occupying more time come in group one and count many more points toward the total. Carolina could profit by an arrangement limiting the number of offices held by an individual. With a student body of 1.700, there should be half-dozen capable can- j didates for every office. No man ought to have a monopoly of prominent positions, however intelligent. U.8.C. Class Parasites Class loyalty, never a thing worthy of second mention on the Carolina campus, hit the depths last week. A number of seniors, invited to be guests of the junior class at a banquet and presented free tickets for it, sold their complimentary tickets to juniors for half or onethird price. A number of juniors, instead of accepting the responsibility of their class and co-operating with their class officers, bought these tickets. They entered into dishonest transactions to save fifty cents or so. When seniors and juniors show no indication of better manners, appear to possess no clearer ideas of fairness, honesty, and obligation to their fellows, there has been a mistake in allowing them to reach the two upper classes. They are lacking in the essentials of decency. u.s.c. Phi Beta Kappa keys, O. D. K. keys, .ind Blue Keys may be presented to several score students on the campus who will prize them, but the key to the political situation was most desired this week.
