Presidential R High In C With campus elections well under way already, campus political leaders arc beginning to focus primary attention on the race for the various Student Body offices. Already three candidates have announced their candidacy for the presidency, and a like number have come out for the positions of vice-president and secretary-treasurer. At present Dave Ellison of Columbia, James Gressette of St. Matthews, and Ixtnnie Causey of Myrtle Bcach arc the only announced candidates for president but a rumored reorganization of Founded 1908 is Beer Be Sold On s Of University President's Ruling Bars Sale In Both Canteen And Steward's Hall ' To Prevent Criticism Admits He Cannot Keep Legal Beer From Dormitories k Under Present Rule No 3.2% beer will be served on the University campus President Leonard T. Baker announced officially yesterday. This ruling includes both the , canteen and the Steward's hall. r Old timers say that in the old days . beer was served in the canteen but . President Baker has declared that un? less the trustees of the University take . action to have its return he refuses to sanction it. He stated that his reason for this action is k> prevent any "adverse criticism of the University" by groups opposed to the legalization of any form of alcoholic beverages. He also stated that he expects the trustees to discuss this question at their regular meeting in June. When asked as to the question of students having legal beer in the dormitories lie at first refused to comment but finally admitted that since the present ruling of the University bars only "intoxicating liquors" from the campus and the State Legislature has definitely ruled that 3.2% is not intoxicating no action could be taken against students having this legal beer in their possession. A. B. Stoney, manager of the caui teen, stated that lie would abide by the rulings of the president and the board of trustees and that until definite ac' tion was taken to provide for the sale of beer on the campus no beer will be served in the canteen. It is doubtful, however, whether the , canteen and mess hall would be able to get adequate supplies of legal beer selling at popular prices many weeks ' before the meeting of the trustees in June. Columbia dealers as yet have been unable to meet demands even at the present advanced prices. D. I. O. Recent Visitor Lauds School Pharmaceutical Students Win Praise Of President Of American Association The School of Pharmacy of the University of South Carolina was highly praised recently by Prof. C. H. Stocking, of Ann Arbor, Michigan, President of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy, who declared that the school was more than meeting the re quired standards of the association. Professor Stocking was accompanied during the inspection by Dr. E. T. Motley, Dean of the school, who also introduced the association president to students of the school. Favorable comment was also made by Professor Stocking on both the Student Body and equipment of the school. After his inspection he addressed the students on "The Importance of Pharmacy," noting some governmental activities in recognizing this branch of science, and stressing the importance as well as the dignity of the calling. ace Looms 1 ampus Politics "Tammany" may place another formidable candidate in the race. 'a Ellison is a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, is a member of the tennis team, and was this year manager of the basketball team. He lias also been prominent in University social activities. Crcssette is at present secretary-treasurer of the Student Body and is a prominent member of the Euphradian society.
