Election Illegal
Of Publication Board
Clariosophic Passes Motion To
Choose New Publication
Representatives
A third election to select representatives
to the student hoard of publications
will be held in the Clariosophic i
society next Tuesday night, according
to a motion passed at the last meeting.
The motion was introduced by
Julian Bradsher, who claimed that the
last was illegal because it was held at
a special meeting.
"It is just a nice way to kick Mr.
Edens off the board," declared Stanley
Bryant, the first man to voice his opposition
to the motion. He claimed
that advocates of the move were opposed
to Mr. Kdens, because he would
not promise to support the society's
choice in board elections.
During the course of the argument
Bryant further pointed out that the
electicrti was neither special nor illegal
because it was held at the time designated
by article 6, paragraph A of
the constitution of The Gamecock which
states that the editor and members
af The Gamecock staff shall be elected
*t least four weeks prior to the coinnencement
exercises; and the members
i)f the student board of publications
shall be elected at least six weeks prior
to commencement exercises; also sec(Continuod

J "No war medal is worth more than

to the 18 medals that he had received
for his World War services.
He stated that a Boy Scout badge was
s an award for having accomplished
s something constructive, while the war

struction.
s Captain Cundy was speaking before
a group of University students at the

ficient above everything else, the

The captain, who was born in London
and is now a naturalized American,

school a day in his life.
"However, he said, I will give 25
