Students Will Be Given Opportunity
To Express Opinion
Of Dry Law
Everybody Can Vote
Polls Will Be Open Simultaneously
With Those For Student
Body Election
Are you wet? 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

Tuition Rules
Are Revised
Students Now Having Free Tuition
Must Re-Apply For
Next Scholastic Year
"All students now having free tuition
and desiring to continue for the
next scholastic year must re-apply to
be considered in September," Frank
F. Welbourne, treasurer, said today.
The old ruling of an application
being good for four regular sessions,
once it was granted, no longer holds
I good, Mr. Welbourne pointed out.
Students are now required by the
1 state tax commission to apply each
year on blanks provided for this pur'
pose.
Students desiring to renew their free
tuition for next year and all others
wishing to apply should get blanks
at the treasurer's office May 10, 1932.

Magnificent
s
By Allen Ashley
Carefully winding his weary way up
the steps of one of the Carolina dormir
tories, a student, somewhat inebriated
n and very sleepy after a night of
1 revelry, staggered in the door of his
j room. 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.

Students flocked in and out of their

Finally, two of Carolina's bravest

Upon first sight their impulse was 1

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.

editor-in-chief must have worked at
least two years on the staff and that
two candidates will be selected by the
staff, one of whom the student body
will elect as editor. The two assistant
business managers credited with the

election for the office of business
manager.

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.
