Carolina To-day CAMPUS JUNGLE A visitor to the campus at night may think that the institution had gone "jun&le life." The harsh throaty sound "Tarzan" made in the sound picture is made by imitating students who have mastered the art. Perhaps, a recently planted banana tree and other plants not often grown in this section have given a tropical atmosphere which has inspired students to the "wild" life. MOF.'ji TARZAN While dwelling on the subject of Tarzan, it is interesting to note the fact that Bill Taylor, lately a Carolina student, won first prize at the Movie Ball with his impersonation of the Ape-man. Taylor's partner at the ball was Dorothy Byrd, prominent University, co-ed who took the part of Jane. INSENSED It is reported that Josh Abell is highly insenscd because the Columbia Record, in its recently . published article on the S. C. Goofus chapter of Rho Dammit Rho, failed to make mention of the fact that he is fourth vice-president of the group. Whether Abell will take drastic action in the matter or not, it is unknown as his lawyer could not be reached for a statement. It is hoped that the Record will take cognizance of its error and correct it with the greatest possible speed.

U. 8. C. Mens Societies Amend Laws Publication Board Constitution Altered In Regards To Frat Brothers At joint meeting of the two men's literary societies last Tuesday night an amendment to the publications' board constitution was passed allowing membership on the board by members of the same leadership, professional or honor fraternity. Up to this time the constitution had been rather ambiguous on this subject and it had been necessary for the societies to make a joint ruling. Last February the societies in joint session ruled that the constitution provision barring membership on the board by members of the same fraternity covered all fraternities, honor, social, or otherwise. This ruling caused much dissatisfaction and it was felt that the constitutional provision should be cleared up. esident rful Race i _ Election Is Closest In Many Years Whaley I s Vice-Pres.
