Carolina Students Win
Honorary Scholarships
McNairy, Groen and Brown
Given Chance for Advanced
Study
In recognition of the good work done
here at the University several students
have been given scholarships to other
colleges and universities throughout the
country. 1 he scholarships include those
to some of the outstanding educational
institutions.
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.

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.

2nd ELECTION MONDAY
James Galloway and Ralph Newman
will go into a second race Monday for
president of the rising junior class according
to the results of the first
election last Thursday. 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.

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

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.

when they arrive at dinner they are so

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
