FRIDAY, MAY 1, 1931 The Bull Dog of the Citadel bemoans the faet that its material is censored. Tiik Gamkcock is free of faculty censorship but not of student criticism. All of which is gladly received. One of the city papers declared that the May Queen is a member of Kappa Sigma fraternity. It's evidently a mistake, but possibly that's the way fraternities insure attendance at meetings. And, as Mutt says, "A happily married pair can be divided into two parts?she's happy and he's married.'' So can a good-looking couple?she furnishes the good looks and he furnishes the couple. The literary societies have turned over a new leaf. On the same night the Clariosophics* elected its president unanimously and the Kuphradians had a full, program. They are going to rival the Federation . of Women Students yet. Darn it. the editor certainly had hard luck. Me left his personal typewriter in the office and somebody, probably thinking that it was the paper's permanently (at least it seems permanent) borrowed the machine. Looks like they would have at least had judgment enough to swipe the best one lying around. COMMON DECENCY ' Many things are needed on the campus, but none so badly as a spirit of honesty and fair play, among the students. The term "college spirit" has fallen into disrepute, and at present means little or nothing. But a group of men and women ostensibly engaged in the pursuit of education should at least show some common decency in their relations with one another. It is well enough to be optimistic, and nobody likes a crank, but at the same time it is bad to play ostrich and solve problems by pretending that they don't exist. The student body is faced with two problems which demand soluation: stealing, and crude political methods. The former should not exist on any campus under any circumstances. A starving man who steals a loaf of bread may be pardoned; a college student who steals a typewriter, or a raincoat, or a microscope, may not be pardoned. The building up of enough feeling to make for social ostracism of such offenders would go a long way toward remedying the situation. The political methods employed in campus elections have become a source of annoyance to all voters, and are coming to be recognized as a public nuisance. The politiekers evince little concern as to whether or not their candidates are suited for office. Perhaps when the situation gets so bad that it is positively putrid students will begin to think about it more seriously. THE OLD ORDER CHANGES The second issue of the new Carolinian is off the press, and the comments on the campus would indicate that it is much more popular than the old model. It was a reasonable and needed change, the faculty and a small group of students notwithstanding. The old edition was read by few and written by fewer; it was the organ not of the student body, but of a limited clique of would-be literary artists whose contributions were neither understood nor appreciated bv the large body of students. In any group of people there is always an element that opposes everything new simply because it is new, and another element who would destroy everything old simply because it is old. But many students, while welcoming the new Carolinian, are sorry to see the old one go; not for sentimental reasons, but because it represented the best, literary talent on the campus. An effort is being made to revive it. Are there sufficient students to make possible a purely literary magazine in addition to the more popular Carolinian? | NEEDLESS DELAY According to the student body constitution, presidents of the three rising upper classes and a man and a woman from each of these classes compose a nominating committee to nominate the members of hext year's honor committee. This committee is supposed to meet three weeks before the members are to be elected and the election is scheduled to take place the first week in May. This nominating committee has yet to meet, and this is a direct violation of the constitution. Furthermore the two delegates to the committee from the freshman, or rather the rising sophomore, class have not even been elected and according to the constitution the delegates are to be elected at the same time the regular class officers are elected. Who should get the blame for this deplorable condition? The freshman class president can hardly be blamed for a condition about which he could have known little. The honor committee has not functioned this year or rather has not had t(# function very much. However, the honor committee still exists and members have to be elected to it for next year. The date of meeting of the nominating committee is now two weeks late. The election of new members must take place next week. The most pressing need at this time is to elect the freshmen delegates which" should be attended to at once. Then comes the nomination of the members of the honor committee and then the election.
