cGutchen' Wins r Oratory Award Wi t h o u t __Opposition mocracy Is Facing A Crisis In The United States, Says Euphradian Speaker Without opposition, Tom E. Mc Cutchen won the annual' Oratorical contest of the Euphradian Literary society at the regular meeting of the group last Tucsday night with his speech on "Youth's Opportunity."

McCutchen in his winning oration told of the creation of a commission by Congress, "whereby the nation may be quickened in its interests concern ing the formation of the Constitution of the United States of America. "He pointed out that "the states did not s make the Constitution, nor did they n ratify it. The first three words of the s document declare who made it: "We c the people." The Constitution is not a a contract or a compact: it is a law a made by a sovereign, and the sovereign f in this case is 'We the people.' " Mc"utchen pointed out the crisis that uemocrary is facing today in the United States. He told of the youth movements in Germany, China, Russia e and Italy, and' said that the youth of c America would be the upholders of e democracy. McCutchen ended his ora tion with a prophecy that the youth of a America will "write the most glorious chapter in the annals of the rise of mankind toward self-government." -U.S. o.- I Blue Key s TakesAction On Spring Elections Group Also Makes Effort To Se cure Sunday Mail Service For University C Since little progress has been made C by the student council in securing ( early student )ody election, this year, ( Blue Key, national honorary fraternity, e Wednesday night appointed a commit- o tee composed of Willie Carpenter and i Bill Ilarrelson to meet with the coun- t cil and other organizations of the cam pus to work out a system whereby the t spring elections wvill he conducted g earlier and in larger groups. In the past, election of various of fieers have been stretched out over a period of months and has caused con-( siderable constanitation among all con crnedl. It is the aim of Blue Key tot see that this situation does not exist on the campus this year. Renewving their efforts to secure Sunday mail service, the committee composed of Bill Bochman, Vivian Morse, and Gedney Howe have been in conference with Postmaster Gozer, of Columbia, who is awvaiting wvord from Washington with regards to the service. It appears that the hands of all concerned are tied until wvord is re- y* ceiv-ed from Washington. The com- I mlittee, howvever, is laboring in an ef fort to secure one-hour service on Sun day until fullday Sunday service can be seculredl. Since there are many historical spo0ts about the campus which are unknown to students and citizens of the city and State, the organization will sponsor a nmove to have these places marked. ItI is hoped that signs will be erected throughout~ the city also. Showving their interest in Carolina's twvo great boxers, Rex Williams and Frank Jenkins, the fraternity dlonateA $5.00 toward the proposed trip for the twvo to the coast where they will comi Pete in the national boxing meeting. James Dixon will head a commiittee which will renew the efforts of stu dents to secur'e better telephone ser vice.
