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'

[ The Political Potlj
"Always Bubbling Over"
1 1 ' ^
Some of the c&mpus politicians seem
to b'c disturbed about the Pot. 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
