Or are you dry? Or do you favor the modification of the 18th amendment to permit light wines and beers? No matter how you feel on this important question of today, The Gamecock is giving every student of the University a chance to vote his sentiment in a prohibition poll of the campus. The ardent wet, yearning for the return of the slopping wet saloon, may vote his opinion with none to molest him or make him afraid. The militant dry, anxious to retain a law his fathers fought for, will have his chance to make the campus a Sahara desert. And the man on the fence, the one who likes his bottle of wine or his stein of beer, can put an "X" to make the spot nearest to his sentiments and his beverages. On the day of the election of student body officers, The Gamecock will conduct its poll. There you will be handed a ballot, your name checked off just as in regular elections, and ^ou may give vent to your innermost thoughts, and no politician will be' there to tell you how to mark your ballot | It costs you nothing, and for the good of your country, votel The Gamecock will be entirely impartial on the matter. Everyone of the 1,700 and odd students on the campus can vote. Do your part in determining whether the students of the University of South Carolina fyvor repeal, modification, or retention of the 18th Amendment 1 u. a. o.

He put his best hand forward and leaned his entire weight against the light button. He glanced toward s his little white bed that he had been - wistfully dreaming of for the past a hour or so. One glance was enough. y For about one-tenth of a second he stood frozen with fright. As the blood receded from his head and began to course through his veins again, he 1 partly gained control of his benumbed facilities and dashed out into the hall. v in -> ' y - ' ' .. * ice Of The Puppets J ; fljjpfj ^ ^ . ?? $% f 11 i i ^vTSE 5 i !

Plans For Prom Are Announced Junior-Senior Committee Will .Send 600 Announcements Out Next Week f Approximately 600 announcements, setting forth in detail the plans for the junior-senior prom, will be sent to the members of the junior and senior classes the first of next week, according to Jim Galloway, president of the junior class. For the first time the junior-senior, which will be given at the Hotel Jefferson on Friday night, May 20, will be open to all members of the student body and their guests. The committee reached this decision in an effort .to accomplish two things; namely, to make the junior-senior a formal affair representative of the entire Carolina student body and to help the faculty social committee retire the deficit of last year's junior-senior. The prom this year will differ in some particulars from those which have preceded it. The banquet feature will bo eliminated, resulting in a lower price of admission and an increase in value of favors given. Instead of a banquet, delicious refreshments will be served throughout the prom. Tickets for the function will be placed on sale during the first week of May. The deadline will probably be May 0. This, however, will be announced definitely next week. Plans are progressing very favorably committee, composed of Harry Singletary, Bill Cantey, Carolyn Burnet, and Jim Galloway, is expecting this year's junior-senior to be one of the most successful Carolina has ever known. u. ? o.

Artist Chooses Miss Carolina John Held, Jr., Nationally Known Artist, To Judge Pictures For "Carolinian" John Held. Jr., nationally known artist, writer, and cartoonist, has consented to be the judge of the "Miss Carolina" contest now being conducted by The Carolinian. The pictures entered, about 30 in number, were mailed yesterday to Mr. Held. The picture of the winner will be run on the June cover, rather than in the May number, as originally planned. This change is the only means by which both numbers could be brought out on approximate schedule. Many of those entered were nominated by various girls' organizations. . A few were submitted by members of the student body. Only bona fide Carolina students were eligible. "Miss Carolina" will probably receive a great deal of publicity in daily newspapers of the country. The May number of The Carolinian will be off the presses around the first of the month. Seniors Plan To Make Class Gift Letters have been mailed to each of Carolina's more than 275 seniors, requesting contributions of a dollar or more towards a class gift. Members of the committee, appointed by President prank Bostick, are LeRoy M. Want, chairman, W. W. Taylor, and Sanders Guignard. Lnst year's senior class was the first in the University's long history to leave a gift. This year's graduates hope to continue the custom, thereby tending to make it an annual affair. The money raised will probably be given to the sidewalk paving fund, although this has not been announced definitely yet. ' .. .*
