FRIDAY, MAY 15, 1931 There was a big demand for a recent issue of The Gamecock? there were thirteen pictures in it and each of the thirteen pictured had his or her own private mailing list. \ Well, at least the heated student body race has helped develop the English language. "Rising senior" has been added to the list of curse words possible to apply to a college boy. Soon the editor's term of office will be over. Then he's going to join either the W. C. T. U. or the society of G. P. P. C.?the last being "Gamecock Political Policies Criticizers." Say what you will about the elections this year, you can't get around the fact that something has been accomplished. Those which should be by secret ballot, according to the constitution, were held just that way. And furthermore, there was comparatively little trouble concerning elections for which notices had been "posted'' but which has been seen by no one except the ones who "posted" it and their friends. u. s. c. A DANGEROUS LEAKAGE Constitutions have, in the past few years, done wonders for two of the University's three publications, and no fault can be found with those documents as such. However, there is a definite spirit invr'ved in each of these constitutions, and when that spirit is violated, the whole system is, to that extent, a failure. Whether or not The Gamecock constitution specifically says it or not, is is understood by all concerned that proceedings of the Board of Publications in executive session are supposed to be secret and confidential ; such intentions were specifically expressed by the writers of the original document and have been expressed by authorities of the board, of the newspaper, and of the societies ever since. And yet, details of happenings at board meetings have leaked out to the student body at large. ? For instance, it is common knowledge to many that the vote on one of the disputed executive positions in the past election was reversed by the board at the same meeting. The board has an unquestionable right to do this, but the fact that it has leaked out means only one thing: SOME MEMBER OR MEMBERS OF THE BOARD HAVE TALKED. Facts concerning the election of The Gamecock business manager have furnished material for the campus politicians to talk about knowingly. This and many other similar examples can mean only one thing: SOME MEMBER OR MEMBERS OF THE BOARD HAVE TALKED. If it is known how members of the board vote on certain things, if their votes are fixed in advance, they are open to all the weaknesses of politicians. THEY CAN BE BARGAINED WITH, THREATENED, CAJOLED, BRIBED. The next step is the complete failure of the constitution. The disorderly ways of the past will again be paralleled and second-rate men will be given executive positions. THEN IT IS TIME FOR PUBLIC SPIRITED STUDENTS TO BRING ABOUT REFORM. Dishonest members of the board, those who can be governed by the "big politicians" without attention to the wishes of the many "common men," or to the interests of the paper, if there are any such now or at any time in the future, SHOULD BE RECALLED BY THE ORGANIZATION WHICH THEY REPRESENT, AND IF ACTION DOES NOT COME FROM THE INSIDE, IT IS INEVITABLE THAT IT MUST AND SHOULD COME FROM WITHOUT. u. s. c. the honor committee election If the Honor Committee cannot get a sufficient number of cases reported to it to keep it busy and active, the situation is regrettable or praiseworthy, depending upon the attitude one has towards the matter. But when the members of this committee are elected in the very manner which the makers of the new system feared and tried to avoid, it is time to sit up and take notice. The constitution of the student body sets the first week in May for the election of men and women to this committee by the three upper classed. The nominating committee is supposed to meet three weeks in advance to name the candidates. So far as The Gamecock can ascertain some of the delegates to the nominating committee have not been named and it is now getting into the third week in May. The rising sophomore class at its election this week named its members of the Honor Committee, or so one is led to believe from the ballot. The student body constitution specifically says: "The representatives are to be elected by their respective classes at meetings called for that sole purpose." If representatives are to be selected at the polls, it can only mean that these responsible positions are eventually destined to be swapped, bargained, and given like any purely political position. Newly elected^ officers of the student body, some of you are possibly wondering how to be something more than a mere figurehead, the mere recipient of political good fortune. Turning the searchlight of investigation on this matter might not be entirely amiss. Here is one of many chances to do something besides make promises, and thereby justify your election. SSpv7 ?. ..
