CROWING FOR A GREATER CAROLINA That's All There Ain't There Is No More UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA Volume XXIX, No. 23 COLUMBIA, S. 0., FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1936 Fudd10 Ed Sims Elect, Of Clario Defeats John Turnbull Hayes, Hiott, Price, And Taylor Will Hold Minor Offices Ed Sims of Pelzer was elected presi dent of the Clariosophic Literary So ciety Tuesday night over John Turn bull of Graniteville by a vote of 38 to 34. Sims is a junior in the school of arts and sciences. Robert Hayes of Mullins then de feated Turnbull for the vice-presidency by a slight margin. Turnbull then expressed his appre ciation to his supporters, and pledged his support to the victorious adminis tration. He said he would not be a candidate next February, as had been ru niored. Steven Hiott, Valterhoro, was made critic by acclamation, and Clarence Taylor, Columbia, was elected secre tary. W. K. Price defeated four op ponents for treasurer, and Lawrence Cusick and Monroe Fulmer were elec ted to the student board of publica tions. Eldridge Baskin was made a mem ber of the student councii, and Sid Duncan and T. E. Matthews were elected to the debating council by ac clamation. Phillip Winter was elected sargeant-at-arms. The pyrotechnics began with. nomi nations for monitors. Several men were put up, and Duncan rose. "Gentlemen, I am not going to make I a speech," he said. "I have coie to ap peal to your emotions. I have locked I in the sanctums of my mind...." "A man like that ought to be pres dent," Howard Cooper declared near the end of the eulogy. "He is," Duncan replied, and nomi nated Welborn. Chaos followed, after which the president said: "All nominations are out now, and we are starting again." Sims nominated the president again. )uncan got the floor to make another nomtination, but the exasperated presi dent recognized the opening words as the same used in his nomination speech, and ruled him out of order. Foster then filibustered on the point of personal privilege to get the menm- - bers in serious vein. Ilis point was - .questioned, but he was allowed to speak. After Duncan again got up. Foster scanned the room and raised the point of no ttorum. The members were so relieved that everyone got up and left simultane ously. The election of monitors will be held next week, unless further com plications set in. Profs Remodel W!aestro 's Plays Modernize Shakespeare Dr. Reed Smith Helps To Make Modern Translation Of Fa mous Authors Work Doctor Reed Smith, wvorking in con junction with Professor George Taylor of the University of North Carolina, is preparing a modern translation for a group of four plays by Shakespeare, which will soon lbe released by Ginni andl Company, publishers. "Julius Caesar," "Hamlet". "Mfac heth", and"l "The Mierchant of Venice", I Shakespeare's greatest wvorks will lie1 of much greater interest and will per- 1 mlit faster reading by this new method. These works are p)resenltedl in the orig inal but wordls that have shifted their meaning or is strange to the average readler of today will hav'e a translation inlsertedl in the same line. Not onily will this afford faster read ing, but it will enable the reader to keep the continuity of thought and preserve the flow of the Shakespearian verse. Doctor Smith is otie of South Caro linia's best and most prolific wvriters of today. He is gaining niationial recog nition for his rccent book on teaching, which is being used in institutions all Honor Day Plans Made Will Explain Principles Hour Set Aside For Ceremonies; Will Hereafter Be Observed Annually All classes at the University will be suspended on Tuesday, May 12. from 10:00 till 11:00 in order that the stu dents may take part in the ceremonies inaugurating Honor Day, which will hereafter be observed annually at Caro lina.
