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.

The social season at Carolina is in
full swing no, the dark rings under
the students' eyes are not dirt. 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.

What do they think this is?a
proving ground?
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!
So "The Johnsonian" enjoyed the
snappy comeback "The Tiger" made
to that paragraph on the Cow-boys!
Well! Well! Ain't it touching how
those two always stand up for each
other! Yeht So's your ole man!
Since 50% of this column hopes to
get an A. B. before next fall, we bid
you adieu.
Signing off!

Winners were disgruntled-a new vote

And then another if there is the slightest

' 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

work is yet to be done. But another election
will come off. Of that there is no

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

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.
