University of South Carolina Libraries
j Library Space S' New Book* Despite its extensions two years ago, r the University of South Carolina library will soon not be able f3*provide sufficient f library service for the fast increasing m, student body at the institution, R. M. i Kennedy declared in a statement today. He accounted for part of the present crowded situation which, he said, is du<j | to the fact that students are preparing for the final examinations, doing referto ence work, and working on theses. However, student visitors at the library have '? undergone a tremendous gain over last year and at the rate of annual increase the library will soon need additional space, the librarian pointed out. The spring order of new books, held up awaiting adjournment of the lcgisi-t lature, will be completed soon when several hundred volumes will be placed i among the library shelves. An amount totalling $1,500.00 will be expended in i- their purchase. Before the new books will be ordered, however, book lists from the professors designating certain classifications preferred will be considered, Mr. Kennedy said. Professors submitting lisfts will name the set of books desired both for main library use and for department use. With the exception of student assistants, the library staff for summer school will remain practically the same. Incoming summer sessions students will fill the vacancies left by the students of the winter school who will be away for the summer. Until final examinations get under way, the library is expected to be crowded to capacity both day and night as it has been for the past two weeks. Many students use the building as a retreat from the noise at their rooms for study purposes. According to Mr. Kennedy, there seems not only to be a greater number of students who arc required to do library work but there also seems to be a greater interest taken in reading. j HERE! ?.1 it is at last.

And if you wonder where the flowers that the girls have been wearing came from? the stalk brought them. One coed says she just can't decide which fraternity she likes the best. Phi Sigma ICappa and Phi Kappa Sigma are out; she never can remember which is which. So many of the A. T. O.s have cute Charleston brogues, but the K. A.s have so many darling freshmen. She loves the way they dance together, too. The Sigma Nu mother's club keeps [ their house so clean and attractive; but the Kappa Sigs have a darling summer house in their back yard. The Pi K. A.s and Sigma Chis both have pretty songs, but it is an awful struggle to climb up the hill coming from their houses. The Pi Kappa Phis are out, they seem to be sewed up for A. D. Pi, and there are so many S. A. E.s she meets a new one every time she goes around there. The Phi Beta Deltas and Phi Epsilon Pis arc a studious crowd, and they have a good hang out there in fcront of the chapel. She can't quite forgive the S. I'. E.s for that epoch-making Bowery Brawl, and the Phi Pi Phi dance last year was most as bad. Rememer? Dr. Wardlaw wants to know when the present epidemic of elections is going to end so that the students will start meeting classes again. Have you ever tried to identify a student by the way he carries his books? A freshman carries lots of them crossways on his notebooks; a sophomore carries numerous small books and pamphlets, stacked above each Other; a junior carries only a lone notebook; while a senior carries one or two large, important looking volumes. And the graduate students? they usually "tote" a short-hand notc| book. Professors carry their books in brief cases and try to appear unconsicous of the bulky things. They must be traveling salesmen of learning. One of the drug stores uptown is offering "A Bill Special" at their soda fountain. Wonder if it was named in honor of the rejuvenated appropriation bill? Several Carolina students, visiting the legislature the other night, were surprised to find the members singing hymns and other musical selections, immediately after they adjourned. Some appropriate selections might have been: "When the Roll is Called up Yonder, I Won't Vote." "The Racket of Ole '31." "I'm Going Home to Lie no More." "Please Don't Talk About Me When Pin Gone." "In My Extra-pay I Glory."

EDITORS OFPOT ARE ANNOUNCED Wallace and Weldon Co-editors; Other Columnists Made Public Breaking a silence of a semester's duration on the subject, the editor of The Gamecock has announced the authorship of the "Political Pot" and other features appearing more or less regularly in the paper during that time. Lewis H. Wallace and Wilson O. Weldon were the writers of the "Pot." Wallace was the author for the first several issues, but for the last two or three in which it appeared, after the elections j*ot underway, Weldon wrote it. Policies in general were determined by the editor-inchief. "The authorship of the "Political Pot" was kept secret only so that lie would he less open to undue political influence. While it was not successful in some instances, perhaps, a definite and honest attempt was made at all times to steer clear of any impartiality and to deal fairly with all candidates and groups," declared the editor. William I. Latham and Catherine Remley were the joint authors of "Cocktails," a new feature and one'that frequently excited comment. J. H. Galloway wrote "Chicken Tips," which appeared near the first of the term. "Morsels" were of course written by J. Mitchell Morse. "Fashion Foibles" were handled by Frances Black and the editorial paragraphs by the editor. E. C. Gilmore was in charge of the exchange column. "Chicken Chatter" was written by the sports editor, Ray Antley. In this he was frequently helped hy his assistant Alan Schafer. o. s. c. "I can't get along with my wife. All she docs is ignore me."

Well, the Seniors arc getting that farewell look on their features and trying to walk gracefully so the gown won't hang so awkwardly! Just one week from today the exains begin and the bell in tfie chapel will be silent except for a dull tolling every three hours. The students will go around with hopeful, thankful, prayerful, dismal, disgusted, oV amorous looks! Exams wouldn't be so bad if we could cheat. Honest!

Briefly: 823 sturegistered to vote; 958 votes were :ast, counted, tabulated. lasers were nlarious?a new vote must be taken Winners were disgruntled-a new vote must be taken. Reasonable students and faculty leaders were amazed-stated emphatically that new votes, and then an3ther, must be taken. Wondered the lackadaisical undergraduates who didn't care: "What's it all about, anyway? Why raise a big odor "ver a little thing like that." Same view expressed by election winners. Opposite view expressed by those not winning, rollowing the example of Cole Blease," accused the winners. "You're behaving c Chicago's Thompson and Pennsylvania's Vare," threw back the losers. Upshoot is that a new election will be held And then another if there is the slightest suspicion of crookedness. ' Reformers were not on scent of the foul play. Could discover nothing. Wintiers were bland, suave, poised; investigators grew hot under the collar. Decided that there were other things to do than bothering to do detective work. "What do we care, anyhow," said one when interviewed. "I wasn't up for office. Let the student council do the dirty work " The work is yet to be done. But another election will come off. Of that there is no doubt. Ar. C. Duccanccr. LET'S SUPRISE THEM Mercer students last week elected their campus leaders for next year. Supposedly, each man was chosen for his ability to perform the functions of his office. This ability will come to nothing unless augmented by the active support of every student who cast a ballot. As the result of an attitude of "Now we have you elected, do your stuff," the majority of campus offices have degenerated into something to show fraternity prospects. It was for this, and other reasons more abominable, that the honor of Master Merceriati was abolished this year. If the men who were elected last week don't expect to do anything about it, let's surl j\ j A Graduati Thousands of be graduated ? There will be on will make name!

Page Three FINAL MEETING OF YEAR HELD Clariosophic Literary Society Holds Session Tuesday Night; New Members are Elected The Clariosophic Literary society held its last regular meeting of the year for a business and literary program on last Tuesday night. The program was featured by the speech of Nigel League on "Tribute to Mother." J. A. Bigham spoke next on "Current Events Around Us." An impromptu debate was rendered on the query, "Resolved: That the Hypatian and Clariosophic Literary Societies Should lie Combined Into One Society and That the Euphrosynean and Euphradian Societies Should Likewise Be Combined." Perry Crandall upheld the affirmative of the question, his opponent being W. C. Herbert. Several new members were elected into the society, namely: Bill Eaddy, Ed Sikes, Henry Stuckey, Thomas Leonard, and Francis Graham. The annual Clariosophic debaters' contest will be held next Monday night. SOCIETIES HOLD JOINT MEETING A joint meeting of the Euphradian and Clariosophic Literary Societies was held last Tuesday night for the purpose of arranging a date for the anual inter-society freshman-sophomore declamation contest.
