J. J. Brown, senior from Rock Hill, has been awarded a scholarship to the Biblical Seminary in New York. This is one of the most famous divinity schools in this country. Mr. Brown has been active in Y. M. C. A. work since he first entered the University. He has also been a member of the debating team and president of the Euphradian literary society. A letter from Dean Bachman, of the Biblical Seminary, states that highly commendable work has been done by George E. Mcctze and Leslie W. Edwards, both of the University of South Carolina, who were recipients of similar scholarships in former years. A fellowship in the department of biology at the University of North Carolina has been given to Edward L. Green, Carolina senior. Mr. (ireen, who is the son of Professor Green of the University faculty, has specialized in biology here. He is a member of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity. It will be remembered that Lyles G. McNairy, senior in the School of Commerce, has been presented with a fellowship by the southern committee of the National Reserve Council, giving him the opportunity to study advanced economics. Professor Kershaw Walsh, of the psychology department, has been granted a year's leave of absence in order to take advantage of a fellowship at Ohio State. He is to do special work in experimental psychology. There arc perhaps other scholarships which have been won by University students which have not yet come to the attention of Tin} Gamecock. IS IT YOU? Lost, staryed, or stolen? "No one in "The Gamecock" office could plead guilty to the following inquiry. Try your luck. You may be the fortunate perHere is the letter in question: "Will the young man who travelled from Boston through Worcester, March 19, 1931, having previously visited Canada and Maine during his spring vacation, please communicate with a friend whose acquaintance he made on the train between Bosion and Worcester?

Stokes of Timmonsville, ] academic class, who was elected to th one of the closest elections held here ii Sophomores, Hold Cl( Bostick and Herbert Run Over for Presidency of Rising Senior Class Three candidates were eliminated from the racc for rising senior class offices in the election held Thursday; a second race to be held Saturday is necessary to decide the secretary- trcasurership, and the final election to decide all offices will be held Tuesday. In a hotly contested race, Frank Bostick and W. C. Herbert tied for first place with 66 votes each. Sanders Guignard was third with 27 votes. Dennis Hudson with 51 ballots and Curran Hughey with 74 will run over for the vice-presidency. I.ester Hamilton, the third candidate, received 34 votes. Due to a mistake in interpreting the student body constitution, the office of secretary-treasurer was split at the pleasure of a junior class meeting Tuesday. The constitution only provides for one office, so the four candidates, Perry Crandall and N. W. lirooker for secretary, and Teddy Duvall and Elizabeth Withers for treasurer, will have to run over Saturday for the office of secretarytreasurer. Anothe race in which Sarah Davis will oppose Ralph Derrick will be necessary to decide who will be historian. Miss Davis received 65 votes, Derrick 54, and Elizabeth Harllce 40. Voting was rather quiet with only 168 junioVs casting ballots and of this number nine were thrown out because the voters did not have junior standing in the registrar's office. Orchestra Plans For Summer Tour Passports arriving from Washington, assured the trip to Europe for the University of South Carolina Gamecock orchestra this summer. The orchestra is to be divided into tow units for the trip and the first unit will sail on June 13 via the HollandAmerican Line and the second on June 20 via the North German Lloyd. The Gamecocks played for the Columbia College junior-senior last Friday night, here, and in Rock Hill, Saturday night, for the Winthrop junior-senior. They continue the epidemic of junior-senior jobs by playing for the Carolina affair next Friday night. The meml>ers of the orchestra arc earnestly devoting their spare time to the study of history and French in an endeavor to make the most of the trip as an educational tour. , ?? <lj' $|||| ^v *W^kwbL illllil I Wm.

Galloway drew the largest vote but lacked several votes the sum of the votes of the other two candidates, Newman and J. C. Snyder. Harry Singletary, from Scranton, who rooms in Thornwell College, was elected vice-president. He went in over Marshall B. Williams by a small margin. At present Singletary is taking the pre-law course in the Arts and Science school. The closest race of the ticket was between Bill Cantey and John Moroso for secretary and treasurer. There were four nominees for this office. Tracy Snellings and Fred Graham furnished some hot competition. Cantey led Moroso by only twelve votes. They will also run again in the second election. " Carolyn Burnet, of Camden, was elected historian. Her opponent was Robert Rogers. The race was interesting but Miss Burnet got a majority in the first ballot. She is in the Arts and Science school, and a member of Tri Delta sorority. According to J. W. Greene, president of the present sophomore class, a considerable amount of interest was shown in the election. The races were among the closest of any of the campus elections this year. Girls Getting 1 Now Tr \ The good eyes of an unknown Gamecock reporter accidcntly discovered some proceedings that have been going on hehind closed doors of the Woman's Building and annexes. Such things should be reported. Although there has been a great deal of kick about the food in the girls' cafeteria, many of the fair coeds seem ko he thriving on it so heartily that they have to resort to reducing. With all due respect to the reducers the matter should be looked into and evidence given. Many go without breakfast hoping that the constant racing from class to class will knock off a few unnecessary pounds, but . . > /' v STOKES CHOSEN FOR PRESIDENT OF STUDENT BODY Other Officers Elected in Campus Race?Ninestein and Reynolds Get Positions Troy T. Stokes, member of the rising senior class from Timmonsville, was elected president of the student body by a majority of 65 votes over Jimmy Brailsford in the third race held Tuesday. Stokes received a total of 421 votes to Brailsford's 356. lid Ninestcin, member of the rising senior law class from Blackville, was elected vice-president by a good majority over Billy Bolt of Laurens. Tommy Reynolds, rising junior from Columbia, was elected secretary and treasurer on the first ballot over three other opponents. The president-elect is one of the most prominent and best-liked students on the Carolina campus and has held numerous honors. He was president of the sophomore class, now a member of the student council, secretary of the debating council, who arranged the debating schedule. Stokes is a member of the Pi Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Pi, and Kappa Sigma Kappa fraternities. He is a member of the debating team this year and won nearly all of his debates. Brailsford, his opi>onent, put up a good fight for the honor. He, too, is a prominent and well-liked student. He is a member of the Dean's Honor List; was co-captain of the boxing team, member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity and of the Euphradian literary society. The inclement weather kept hundreds of voters from the polls. The rain drizzled down for about half of the day and had a dampening cffect on the politicans as well as the voters. NEW CAROLINIAN ON PROBATION The Carolinian in its present shape will be continued as an experiment during the next scholastic year, ruled the University faculty in a meeting held Wednesday. When the first petition to the faculty to change 7 he Carolinian from the old style of a literary magazine to that of a semi humorous-literary one was presented the faculty accepted it lor the rest of this year. The final decision came as a result of a petition by the staff to make it permanent. The faculty in the meeting Wednesday refused to accept the petition of the senior class for earlier examinations. The reason for this action was not made known but it was probably due to the fact that the examinations were not held earlier last year. However, in former years seniors were permitted to have their examinations before the regular ones. The seniors, in requesting the early examinations, pointed out that this would permit the professors to have a great amount of their work off before regular exams came, and that all standings could be checked up in advance at the registrar s office. Students who could not finish this year would know early rather than having to wait until the last minute. But the faculty decided that it would be better to have all the work at once, instead of piece-meal. roo Fat; ! ying to Reduce when they arrive at dinner they are so hungry that they eat twice as much as they would have otherwise. They don't realize this, however, and console themselves as a martyr to the cause. Others fast at supper, but this doesn't work so well either because their good intentions are thrown aside by the thought of a drug store around the corner. Also the Woman s Athletic Association hat installed a "traveling conteen" which goes abroad every iHght and prove itself most demoralizing to the sacrificing girl*.
