SEPTEMBER 9R 1034 Social Cabinet Will I ? * Five Already In Race Moxingo, Williams, Douglas, Bowden And Martin Toss Hats In Ring With the Social cabinet election less than two weeks off five students have already formerly announced themselves as candidates for . the three vacancies open. They arc J. P. (Spot) " Mozingo, Marshall Williams, Bill Douglas, John Bowden and Claud Martin. Other candidates are expected to announce within the next week. The election is scheduled for the week of October 7, according to the student body constitution. A. T. Brown, president of the student body, announced yesterday that he will call the election for Tuesday, October 9. In addition to the three student members to be elected there will be two faculty members to be elected. Th<i Social cabinet has charge of all gym .dances, the sponsors for the Clemson football game, and the May Queen coronation ceremonies. Douglas in commenting on his race said that he favors more dances. "In the past," he said, gym dances have been held on the campus, and under University regulations only one dance a month can be staged. I believe that some place near the campus could be found where dances could be held every week. If elected, I will strongly urge such an arrangement. I also favor the lowering of the admission price if it proves financially possible." (Continued on Pag* 4; Column 4) F.

This ruling sounds the death knell of a magazine which in the past st decade has undergone one change of ot name, two changes of form, and a sea- y< son of self-support. Under a different name but similar plan of organ- S( ization, it has "been published contin- bt ually by the student body of the Uni- H versity since its founding in 1883. d, Last year it was taken off the list al of activities supported by the student la activities fee, but under the editorship for the' first semester of James M. ~~ Black, Jr. and second semester of Joe Miot, it survived the blow and supported itself entirely by student -* subscriptions and advertising.
