The Political Po 1 [
"Always Bubbling Over"
Although it is not associated with
campus politics, we feel certain that the
entire student body is interested in the
tuition situation now being discussed in
the legislature. The whole tiling is a nut
shell is that the legislature is going ?to
greatly increase tuition fees and abolish
free tuition at the University of South
Carolina unless something unforeseen I
happens.
I f the tuition is raised, the enrollment
at the University next September will
show a sad decline from this year's figure. I
Even $50 makes a whale of a difference!
to a person who is working his way
through college, and an increase in tuition
will mean that hundreds of needy men
and women will not be able to return to
Carolina next year.
While it is still some time off, the clec- I
tion of the student body president is attracting
quite a bit of attention. Some of
the aspiring candidates have been drum-l
ming up votes the whole , The ran-]
didates who are almost certain to run are
as follows:
Munch DePrc, captain of the basket
ball team. He has quite a large following
among the Columbia students and is
certain to pile up a large vote.
Jimmy Brailsford, the pride of the I
boxing team, will also see how many ballots
he can secure. Jimmy is very popular
both among the boys and girls and will
run somebody a hot race.
And the last is the good-natured boy
from Timmonsville, Troy Stokes.
"Stogie," as he is sometimes called, is an
eminent debater and has been a success
in campus affairs. He also will gather in
a bountiful supply of votes.
Frank Bostick, another popular athlete,
would be a dangerous man. His I
athletic ability combined with his popularity,
would go far in getting votes.
However, it is reported that he has withdrawn
from the race to run for the
presidency of the senior class.
Before this issue of TiiE Gamkcock
is off the press, the first election to dc-1
tcrmine who Carolina's next May Queen
is to be will have been run off. The only
conjecture we can make now is that
there will meet most probably be a sec-1
ond race between two of the following:!
Margaret Dial, Elizabeth Bclscr,
"Cotton" Culbcrtson and his party is
solidly behind Miss Dial and with this'
usually goes New Mexico (his habitat)
and the lower end of the campus. John
Moroso, Harry Singleterry, J. W.
Greene, J. J. Mack, Frost Walker, .and
others are behind Margaret and as the
Pot has said before, this party places in
the second race if it doesn't win.
The A. D. Pi's are backed by
the Sigma Clii's and several others in
their efforts for Rowcna. Delta Zcta's
candidate, Miss Taylor, is backed by
"Corn" Williams and the Z. T. A.'s.
Grimsley is behind Miss Belser and will
bear watching. At any rate, the campaign
promises to be a warm one.
CAROLINA GETS
LARGEST GIFT
AIDS TRAINING TEACHERS
General Education Board Is
Donor Of Sum To Be Used
For New Building
. The University of South Carolina received
a larger amount from the General
Education Board in aid of teacher training
than was awarded any other institution
in the United States for similar purposes
during the year, according to the
recent report of the board.
The great honor conferred upon this
institution by the General Education
Board is a compliment to the University
and a recognition of an urgent need of
more adequate facilities for teacher training
in this state, according to Prof. Orin
F. Crow, dean of the School of Education.
The offer of the building now being
built was made for immediate acceptance,
and upon the stipulation that the University
contribute a similar amount for
the same purpose.
"It would have been poor economy for
the state to permit so generous an offer
?the largest ever made in the history of
the University?to be forfeited through
lack of appreciation of the state. In addition
to the condition of immediate acceptance,
the present time is the most
economical in which to build, because of
the reasonableness of labor and material.
It is not only the most opportune time: ;
it is now or never," declared Dr. Douglas I
n discussing the situation recently. .

Bare Feet Usher
In Spring Season
Many freshmen today realized the bitter
truth of the old phase, "Lest one
good custom should corrupt the world,"
and the upperclassmen found a good word
to say for the gravel walks. For it's
"Freshman Barefoot Day." \
The idea of making the freshmen go
barefooted to usher in the spring originated
three years ago, in the minds of the
K. S. K., and has proved so successful
that it is now an established institution,
like commencement and crowning the May
Queen.
At first it was suggested that the girl
freshmen be made to follow in the painful
footsteps of their brothers, but it was
finally decided just to make 'em go
barelegged. Now if there were only some
mosquitoes this time of year.
