The Political Pot "Always Bubbling Over" It was noticeable in the meeting on Wednesday night that in many instances services rendered to a group by other '.gpeoplc arc often soon forgotten, when jSjGamma Sigs voted against Culbertson's ostaiul; yet it is generally known that Culojbertson was quite instrumental in having co one of their number elected in a certain orace a few days ago. g The whole question resulted from the 3 undesirable state oi politics which is prcscut on the campus?swapping of votes, re ot swaPl}'nS? an<l hitter antagonism to certaj tain groups. How long must such exist? j When will the students cast off such * unwholesome conduct ? On Tuesday night the biggest percentage of the elections in the Euphradian Literary society went off with clock-wise precision, and very little opposition to the slated candidates appeared. Several years back, two parties were in existence, and the hottest elections were held, but a different situation was in order at this election, when LeRoy Want, prominent junior, went sailing into the junior presidency without any opposition at all. The race for the treasurership was close, with J.- C. McDuffie winning out over G. T. Daniels. The election of members to the Board of Publications was a clo-e one, but in the selection of Carlisle Roberts and Luke Williamson the society showed its good judgment. Melton Goodstein, erstwhile lobbyist and solicitor for other candidates has entered the race for the office of secre-* \ tary-treasurer. He is opjx>sed by Tomniie Reynolds, popular football star of Columbia, and also by Ruth Ellsworth, the only coed entered in the race. At this writing it is fairly certain that Louise Rosen is also running. He is a "darn good man." In the race for junior class offices, V(?ry few have announced for the various offices up to the present. Jim Galloway has announced for president, and has a good chance to go sailing into this office. Opposition will likely rise up before election day comes. This is all the dope that we can give for the junior class offices. In the freshman class there is also very little "politicking" being done. Vernon Sj>cars of Lamar, has announced for the presidency. He has been popular in various activities this year, and will poll a big vote. However, if another poular frosh enters the race, there will be a hot time on in the "rats" election. 1 here is some agitation on the campus W the adoption of a constitution for the Garnet and lilack.

Ifc i * LEAGUE SPEAKS FOR UNIVERSITY at state oratorical Annual Meet Held at Rock Hill; Officers for Incoming Year Elected N'gcl League, local senior, represented the University in the State Oratorial Meet at Rock Hill on April 17.- His speech was on "David Bancroft Johnson." Officers of the association for the coming year are J. A. Weatherly of Wofford, president; Luke Williamson of the University of South Carolina, vicepresident; W. A. Jetties of Clemson, treasurer. Thomas Hood of Erskinc College, was declared to be winner of the contest with his speech, "When Nation Meets Nation." By virtue of his victory Hood will be given the custody of the association medal and his college will get the Sylvan . loving cup. Wofford's representative, John A. May, won second place with the subject, "The True Democracy." Third place was given to E. VV. Merriman of the College of Charleston with the speech, "The Great Meaning." The meeting was presided over by Joseph H. Marshall of the College of Charleston, president of the association. Awards were made by Judge John G. Carpenter of Gastonia. INFLUENZA CASES HAY BE DUE TO EARLYSW1MMING Influenza is the dominating sickness in tl." infirmary this week. Mrs. Madden says that this is probably due to an uncontrollable desire for early swimming which has seized most of the student body. But at that, there arc only six cases: J. D. Moore, R. S. Rodgers, L. Smith, J. E. Rowe, Edwin Griffith, and M. J. Thomas. Margaret Mann was in with measles the first part of the week, and Martha Derrick, Edward Eadon and Foster Buch were each in a few days with minor illnesses. This week ends the senior rcchcck for girls. Next week they will start recheckitig the boys' exams. Mrs. Madden says, "It doesn't do much good, but please ; urge the boys to come early in the week and not all wait 'til the last minute." Crown, both fraternity men. This should be one of the closest elections of all, and there will be some aggressive work on the part of both candidates before election. Johnnie Bowdcn is considering running for the business managership. Others in the race for editorships have not announced as yet. On the eve of the election of student body officers a virtual bombshell was thrown into all plans for the election, when upon investigation of the standing of candidates lor president, a doubt arose as to their eligibility. In the student , council meeting which was held at 7:00 o'clock, just one hour before the candidates were supposed to speak in chapel, members of that body decided to declare Bryant Adair and Troy Stokes ineligible. When this was announced to the student body, there was a young uproar in protest, and then followed two hours of heated, intense, and interested debate as to whether the student body would up- ( hold the student council in its decision. J. J. Brown made a motion that the stu- , dent body uphold the council, and this was opposed by Culbcrtson, League and others. After much wrangling about parliaments procedure and marked by con- . tinual jumping up of various students | who were not recognized by the presi- , dent, a motion was made by Culbertson , that Adair and Stokes be declared eligi- | ble by the student body. After three | votes, the meeting adjourned, with the situation still in doubt as to whether or , not these two would be allowed to run. , From discussion 011 the campus, it is | apparent that these two men's names will appear 011 the ballot for Monday's clec- ; tion, although further developments will 1 likely come up at the meeting on Sat- ' urday night when the candidates will speak in the chapel. As it appears to the Pot, the whole question is simply one of ( interpretation. What docs the constitution imply when it says that the candidates must come from the rising senior class? Does this mean that if they will graduate next year; that there is a pbssibility of their graduating, they will be eligible, or docs it mean that they must have ninety-six credits at the time they are nominated ? It seems that the student | body should have the right to interpret this clause, and in order to do this the ] only thing necessary is for the student ; body to vote whether or not they will allow these men to be declared eligible. | o; L- V ' v.... Cock-Tails 1 Dogs can be sold 'for three dollars at the Mcdical College in Charleston. Wonder if you could get full price for dear little Timmy Torrence? The decorations at the Pan-Hellenic over in the gym the other night were really good. And everybody was on time at a dance for 'the first time in the history of the University. What is this campus coming to? Think of all the dances from now until the end of this semester. The spring Damas, the Junior-Senior, the Block "C," the frat dances, and several sorority dances. Gee! What a formal place this'tis getting to be! How much more of a pleasure it would be to play drop-the-handkerchief out on the campus these days than to sit through the boring classes. They arc all right during the cold winter months but the very deuce nowadays! Peopfe must actually read this column from all the pointed and sarcastic comments that drift to our ears in our meanderings o'er the campus greensward". But why worry? We don't claim to be scientific like Mclntyre or linguistic like the author of Morsels! One of the learned psychologists on the faculty thinks that everyone who reads O. O. is childish. Wonder what lie thinks of those who peruse this nonsense? Thoughts while "bumming.'' Wonder why the state highway department doesn't put benches on the side of the pavement for the college boys who are tired of standing up? At least you wouldn't look so darned bloodthirsty when a ride did happen to come along. The way these big cars seem to float up to you and then fly away from you. And the Fords creep up to you and then slowly fade away in the distance. And the way the new Fords buzz all the time. Occasionally the state highway patrolman motorcycles past on his 4'ast horse. And just glances at you standing there so forlornly. Then a ride hails in sight and you are on your way back to Carolina! C. The Winthrop campus at night is sure a pretty sight, take it from one who knows. The way the moon beams down over the trees and around the big buildings makes a pretty sight. There is a new tree of some kind 011 the far side of the Extension Building. Students are speculating as to whether it is a banana tree, yucca plant or the famed palmetto. Really doesn't look like much of any kind to us. Kchoes of the "Yellow Sheet" still float over Carolina. But they are mostly gentle breezes instead of lusty winds! u. s. c. Baptist Leader Talks To Carolina Students William H. Preston, of Nashville, in Columbia to Organize Student Union William Ilall Preston of Nashville, Tennessee, representing the Sunday School Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, was in Columbia during Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of this week for the purpose of organizing a Baptist student union. Mr. Preston made addresses at Flynn Hall on each night of his stay here in which he set forth the advantages and benefits to be derived from the presence :>f such an organization. He also conducted well-attended meetings at Columbia College, Columbia Bible College, he State and Baptist hospitals. On Wednesday afternoon, from four until six o'clock, the Carolina students intertained the visitor with a picnic and like in Maxcy Gregg Park. Mr. Preston had just completed a stay it Clemsoti College before his arrival lerc. He returned to Nashville on Thursday. u. s. C. Matron: Hey, wake up! The whole third floor is on fire! Co-cd (morning after the German): Should I worry? I'm on the fourth. A dear little girl of seven or eight years stood one day before a closed gate. A gentleman passed. The dear little girl turned and said to him. "Will you please open this gate for me, mister?" The gentleman did so, then he said kindly: "And why, my child, couldn't you open the gate yourself?" "Because," said the little girl, "The pact's not dry yet." / / . * . Collegiate League of Nations Meets \ ?? HE?D IN GREENVILLE First South Carolina Model Assembly Gathers Soon South Carolina's first inter-collegiate model assembly of the League of Nations will be held May 1 and 2 with Greenville as Geneva. The delegates of the assembly of the League of Nations will gather there, each delegate coming in dual role representing his college and an adopted country.

These round table discussions will be led by Professors Calhoun, Keith, McKissick and Sherrill, acting as American leaders impartial to European bias. The assembly will show its breadth-of view by listening to the addresses of three other Americans, Hon. Messrs. Thornwell Hayncs, former counsul-general to Far East, John Holmes, Greenville Y. M. C. A., and Hamilton IJolt, Rollins College, Florida.

DOUGLAS TO WINNSBORO Dr. D. M. Douglas, president of the University, went to Winnsboro on Tuesday to a meeting of the Congaree PresI bytery of the Presbyterian Church. Doctor Douglas, a holder of the degree of Doctor of Divinity, is a minister in the Presbyterian church, but is inactive at this time. "s Evei n CyARRIZOZO, N.

M. Douglas, the honor guest at the annual banquet of the University Boy's Glee Club, held last Friday evening at the Columbia Hotel. To the twenty-eight members of the club present, Doctor Douglas said that although he was unable to attend all the student functions, he is not uninterested, for he has every student activity at heart. The following officers were chosen: J. W. Gaddy, re-elected president; Wilbur Jones was chosen vice-president; Charles Bushaw, manager; and "Piute" Wimberly, publicty manager. Plans for the work of the club for next year were discussed by Mr. Matteson. He said that everything has been definitely arranged for the New York trip next year. Among the places at which the club will play will be, QueensChicora, Charlotte; Richmond, Washington, Philadelphia, and New York. Arrangements are being made for the club to broacast over NBC for fifteen minutes while in New York. The return trip will be made via the Clyde Line. Mr. Mattheson also said that the club will give a program May 6, in conjunction with the University Symphony Orchestra s final concert, and a program by the Girls' Glee Club in observance of national music week. In speaking of the past year's work he said that the trips taken have served to help pay for the bus, which is almost settled for. u. s. c.

J McNairy Offered Science Award Lyles Glenn McNairy, a senior in the School of Commerce at the University, has been presented with a fellowship by the southern committee of the National Science Reserve Council, which offers him the opportunity to study advanced economics in any institution he chooses. The fellowship is worth $600, and McNairy is the first undergraduate student at the University to be accorded the honor. Professor R. L. Meriwether, head of the history department, has also been granted a scholarship by the iame council. u. s. c. POT SHOTS AT THE GREAT AND NEAR GREAT We notice that the three favorite sources of quotations among University students arc Shakespeare, the Bible, and Babcock. Professor Keith gave an important demonstration lecture in one of his classes the other day. He wished to carry a chair from the middle of the classroom to the back of his table. Much to his students' surprise he placed the chair on the table, walked around the table, which is * rather long, and lifted the chair down on the other side. "An unintelligent man," said Professor Keith, "would have carried the chair all the way around. Laziness is a great aid to progress." Then he resumed the interrupted French lesson. / It is rumored that the Sigma Chis are going to have a house warming as soon as they take out sufficient insurance on their new domicile.
