Distribution To High School
Graduates
"The new University catalog will
te ready for distribution about June
1st and students are asked to stop at
the Registrar's office and get a copy
before they leave for vacatioii," John
A. Chase, of the Faculty catalog committee
stated today.
' Each student is entitled to one copy,
Mr. Chase said, and because of reduced
appropriations all students are
asked to call for their copy before
having and thus save the University
the expense of mailing.
Because of reduced appropriations
the University has been forced to reduce
the number of copies of the
catalog by approximately one-half and
to enforce very drastic reductions In
the contents of the catalog. However
none of the essential parts of the catalog
were cut although the number of
Pages were drastically reduced.
This year the University will be unable
to send copies of the catalog to
*11 high school graduates #and Mr.
Chase asks that students leave the
uames and addresses of all prospective
students at his office so that they
"ught receive copies.

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.

Drys Win Poll
By Using Force
Students Steal Ballot Box And

Other Votes Burned
The "drys" won a sopping victory
over the "wets" in The Gamccock
prohibition poll last Tuesday afternoon
by the simple expedient of dropping
the ballot box in the Congaree
River.
The poll was being cmiductcd simultaneously
with the annual student
government election to ascertain sentiment
as to enforcement, or repeal of
the 18th amendment.
Not a ballot was officially tallied,
but two students said to represent
an element opposed to taking the
prohibition poll won by combining
the tactics of the Boston Tea Party
and Paul Revere's ride.

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.
