Why Pay For G-irls?
Tickets for the junior-senior dance are now on sale, says various
posters tacked up on the campus. In former years the seniors were
honored with a dance and a banquet, but this year they only get a
dance. And for every girl with the exception of seniors who comes
to this dance one dollar and a quarter ($1.25) admission must be
paid. Why should girls have to pay to come to a dance? Of course
we realize that the girls won't pay?their escorts will have to pay
for them.
According to various figures released by the president of the junior
class, the treasury is in a healthy condition. If the junior class
can't give a dance (or prom as they term it) without charging girls
admission, they ought to hang their heads in shame and go into
hibernation.
The president of the junior class states that very nice favors
(compacts) will be given all girls who attend. The young ladies
will appreciate favors which cost less than their admission fee.
n. b. c.
The Student Activity Fee
When the student activity fees are apportioned next year, there
is one campus organization which should certainly get some of the
funds. It is the University Glee Club.
With the exception of the athletic teams, the Glee Club gives
the University of South Carolina more publicity than any thing else.
But they receive no funds from the activity fee to help them carry
out their program.
If the officials will slice a little off the Y. M. C. A.'s social cabinet's
and debating council's apportionments, it will really help an organization
which does the University more good than some which
now receive aid.
When the Glee Club made their northern trip this winter, each
student in the club had to pay twentyrfive ($25.00) to help defray
expenses. This is a noble sacrifice but should not be allowed to
continue.
o. b. o.
A Successful Administration
Within a few short weeks, the term of the present officers of the
student body draws to a close. It has been a successful administration
and one of which the officers can well be proud.
A Garnet and Black constitution was drafted and passed and will
go into effect next year. The need for this constitution has been
long felt and much benefit should result from it.
The straightforward manner in which the student body elections
were conducted reflects the integrity of the officers and the student
council.
If the incoming administration carries on where the old left off,
the Carolina students can point with pride to their student body
officers.
The honor system still remains in a sad state of affairs. The new
student body officers should either break it up or make it an honor
system which will be an honor system. Aa it is now, the professors
have honor and the students the system. '
tr. b. o.
Leonard A. ("Luke") Williamson
The student body in selecting for its head Leonard A. ("Luke")
Williamson has chosen a man who is thoroughly deserving of the
honor.
Williamson is not a politician, his previous honors having been of
the non-political type. He has, during his stay at the University,
served his Alma Mater well in the field of inter-collegiate debating
and this year he represented Carolina at the State Oratorical meet.
He is rather modest and retiring although well known and very
popular with his fellow students. The student body could not have
picked out for its highest honor a man better fitted or more deserving.
He is exceptionally well fitted to uphold the high ideals and principles
for which the University of South Carolina has long stood.
"Predicted as a 'quiet' election, the resulting heavy balloting in
the General Student Body elections showed that interest in politics
has not waned,'' says the Washington and Lee Ring-Tum-Phi in an
editorial reprinted elsewhere on this page. Apparently interest in
student elections is very general. The balloting-in this year's Student
Body race here was the heaviest in the history of campus politics.

ELECTION INTEREST
Predicted as a "quiet" election, the
resulting heavy balloting in the General
Student Body elections showed
that student interest in politics has
not waned.' Although the number of
men eligible to vote was noticeably
curtailed by the campus tax ruling
which prevent those voting who had
not paid the tax, 631 votes were cast.
On a percentage basis of men eligible
to vote, this was as large a number as
voted in the free-for-all election two
years ago which set a new high.
An exciting chapter was written in
the elections' history when it was
necessary to have a re-election in one
race. This marked the first time in
the history of the general elections
that a runoff was necessary. The
winner's one point margin and the
total balloting of 603 votes shows the
political activity incurred.
After the Athletic Council elections,
in which all the officers went through
unopposed, it was gratifying to see
political life aroused and the interest
of the Student Body in voting expressed.
The elections, coming once a year,
are usually a novel experience for the
entrants. For the first time they get
an inside view into the intricate workings
of campus politics. Up until the
:losing of the polls they are campaigning
for support in an effort to win.
It is a hard grind and a tiring one.
The results of this year's voting show
that the candidates had succeeded in
arousing the interest of the students
and continuing "live" politics on the
campus.

u. 8. o.
In a recent edition of the Gamecock,
representative students of the
University of South Carolina were
asked to give their reactions to their
favorite magazines. Here's one that is
quite representative, "I prefer Ballyhoo.
It doesn't take any intellect to
read it."

u. s. o.
The editor of The Gamecock has
been under fire from the Carolina
student body because he failed to print
the pictures of the new heads of the
literary societies, failed to give the
May Queen proper recognition, etc.
Now, ain't that a shame, just think of
the poor May Queen. Nerts.

Dear Editor:
Far be it from me to unjustly criticize
certain conditions which exist on
the campus, but when will any improvement
be attained if the voice of
the great common people is not raised
in protest against things which are
each day endangering the lives and
happiness of those who are entrusted
to the care of the Marshal's office on
the campus of the University of South
Carolina?
Mr. Editor, I willingly admit that
the duty of the Marshal's ffoice is one
of hardships and multitudinous privations,
that he lives a life that is beset
on every hand by pitfalls and yawning
abysses. But there are certain things
that can not go by without bringing
them to the attention of those responsible
for said conditions.
For one thing, janitors in the dormitories
have little regard for the
health of the inhabitants, leaving dust
in little piles here and there, and
thereby unconsciously promoting the
spread of germs.
In other instances, beds are very
often inadequately made-up, and
rooms are swept while windows are
tightly closed, thus causing dust to
settle thickly on furniture, walls, etc.
In the first case, students going to
bed at night often feel a sensation of
being "short-sheeted," whereas the
true conditions of things is that the
janitor has merely forgotten that the
sheet is a vital part of the bed.
These and many other evils might
be easily prevented, provided that the
Marshal and his cohorts attend more
strictly to the thoroughness of their
work and the goodfeeiing of the students
as a whole. Thank you for your
indulgence.
Sincerely your9,
JOHN A. BIGHAM.
tt. n. o
An old maid went to have her
picture taken and the photographer
noticed her tying a piece of clothes
line around the bottom of her skirt.
"What's the idea of that?" he
asked. "I can't take your picture that
way."
"You can't fool me, young man,"
slid the old girl. "I know you see
me upside down in that camera."

MOROSO RETURNS
John A. Moroso is Visiting the campus
this week after an extended tour
of the world last summer followed by
six months in New York this winter.
He insists that in spite of the heat
that Shanghai appealed to him more
than any other place. It must have,
for he appeared on the campus in a
white linen suit from Shanghai where
the custom is that you order a suit
tailqr made one afternoon and it is
delivered to you the next morning

THE LION AND THE LAMB
A modern version of the lion and
the lamb lying down together was
witnessed in Rock Hill last weekend.
Two prominent campus politicians
who have been for some time bitterly
opposed to each other chanced to meet
after the Winthrop Junior-Senior.
How the miracle transpired it has not
been learned, but in the course of an
hour, the two were lying together in
a hotel bed, sleeping peacefully.
TEACHES SWIMMING
Sheriff Heise's pond has been
turned into a school room by Mr.
