J Columbia's Choice P Price Thatrel Society'sLaws Taken Away During Last Holidays Both Euphradian And Gamecock Constitutions Are Lost 1 s There are thieves and thieves, and one s can understand and, at least to some d measure, comprehend the psychology of one who steals money or food or clothes. But a new kind of outlaw has invaded t the campus, a mysterious, uncipherable i, kind of robber;. . a constitution thief ! i Somehow and somewhere during the Christmas Holidays or right after, both the Gamecock Constitution and the Con- t stitution of the Euphradian Society p were rudely snatched from their snug d resting places in their respective homes. n Now one ian condone stealing for some c purposes, but it is difficult to imagine the thief excusing himself on the grounds that he was hungry or that his poor naked children were cold and in need of cloth ing. Authorities on the Euphradian Con stitution state that its words are exceed ing hard of digestion, and somehow one feels that a nice shirt or pair of trousers made of Gamecock rules wouldn't be just exactly suitable to the winter weather. A number of people on the campus are put into a difficult situation because of r the disappearances. W. H. Harth, doesn't t% know just who on last semester's Game- f cock staff deserve medals for their ser- g vices, and he can't order all of them until he is sure just who gets what. And the Euphradians have a much-worried new c' set of officers, some of whom are afraid S that perhaps after all they were not Jc eligible to run for the offices that they d (lid. They await the return of the ar oi ticles with some measure of foreboding. The society is so perturbed that it has h appointed a committee to look into the sc matter. At any rate, lost, stolen or E strayed, (The Gamecock in accordance fc with its principle of strict impartiality f_ gives any man the benefit of the doubt) the constitutions are gone and the so ciety and The Gamecock are hankering for them back again. n -U. a. O. AKG Plans fnff ip Limit t In order to more evenly distribute cam pus honors, Alpha Kappa Gamma, national honorary leadership sorority has decided to install a point system for the University girls. The organization plans to allow a girl no more than four teen points, in this way limiting her of- C fices. o Alpha Kappa Gamma is also trying to to get national honorary science and lan- J guage societies to become local clubs. Such a move, the organization believes, t; would enable the club to acquire a larger number of members. National organi zations are required to pay dues to the national headquarters and these dues pre- 0 vent many~ valuable members from join- t< ing the club.c GOVERNMENT ROOM OPEN FOR USE WVhile Government publications may 13 not be the "last word" in every sense, they 0 constitute a lot of timely material.
