IS BASEBALL DOOMED? ity of Closely on the heels of the anan nouncement that Furman would not play intercollegiate baseball this 5a spring came the news that Carolina would play only State teams, with he the exception of a return game with all Davidson. A decrease in the income from athletics last year and lack of iny' terest in the game were the reasons V- given by Furman authorities for in- their action. At this writing no ng reasons for the change in baseball ve athletic policy have been issued from Doctor Foster's office, but in view "e of local business conditions, it is very likely that the causes in both cases are very similar. ' The change in Carolina's baseball program is made all the more plain when one realizes that last season in 19 games were scheduled against >ol nine for this year. The change seems almost inevitable, in view of e(j the fact that students and public at 'lave ^a^en down in their financial ? support of college baseball. Intercollegiate baseball must no make a comeback or it is doomed, jjj The malady might be a^ lingering ^ on<5, but it is none the Hess danice Serous u. s. c.

They have stated that they believe it is an attempt to further the aspirations of one political party and to push its candidates. Possibly the real reason they are afraid is that the Pot may bring to light sonic of the crooked politics sometimes practiced on the oampus. This latter statement is indeed part of the aim of this column. "Carolina needs open politics" has been and will continue to be our motto. If open politics can be begun at Carolina, we will hWe clean politics. No more would the incompetent person get an office he couldn't fill. We are not the first to advocate open politics. One far greater than us, Romulus Reese, from the swamps of the Pee Dee, the best and most successful politician at Carolina in recent years, was an ardent advocate of them. The Pot will attempt to bring the parties out into the open, to discuss their candidates and their, platforms. Many will not like this because it pos- ^ sibly would materially decrease the chances of their candidates for election, if the campus knew the good and bad points of each. Others will dislike us, for they will say that they do not want their candidacy announced in such a tcolunm (Contiued on page Seven) Y LAUNDRY I rais Street Shirts and Collars if WORK )RUG STORE WELRY, STATIONERY j sTKS, CIGARS igma Alpha Epsilon, Kapp* nega?$1.00 per box and Paper ne 8191 Cor.
