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."

Aid Students
$20,250 To Be Allotted
150 Students Will Have Chance
To Earn Government Relief
Money
The federal government, through
' the local agency of the Federal Emergency
Relief administration, will aid
150 students of the University this
year, 1034-35. Approximately $20,250
is available for the college year, or
approximately $2,250 per month. This
far only 76 students have been placed
out of the 150 receiving appointment.
Of the 800 applications for l7 E R A
appointments, 42' will be filled by girls
and 108 by boys. Last year only 125
appointments were available at the
University and of this number, 32
were filled by girls and 03 by boys.
Federal regulations for the current
year are somewhat stricter than last
year. This year at least fifty per cent
of FERA aid must go to students who
were not in college in January, 1034.
Greater emphasis is also required this
year on the actual need of the student
to enable him to pay his way through
college. Aid is given on another recjuirement
of an assumption of at least
a scholastic average of C. The regu(Contlnu?d

some History
The Carolinian, University humor st
magazine was officially banned by rul- v<
ing of the faculty at one of the last ^
meetings before school ended last Vl
June. 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.
This year, according to G. Dowling, J
the editor elected to take the place of
Fred Youngblood, who did not return jyj
to school, enough advertising contracts
have been secured to almost
support the publication. Plans as
yet are not definite, he says, but it
may be that the magazine will be pub- w
lished under a different name, differ- le
