Students Voice O0 Campus Affairs Ii By Margaret Rollins I As a result of the recent camptus-wider poll conduicted by TheI Gamecock the ' present honor codle was dlisapprovedl by ai 63 per cent of more than 600 student p voters. Lack of school spirit, according to thet votes cast, is overwhelmingly the biggest e fatult at Carolina. Emphasis on football, a1 sororities andl fraternities, social divisions, t no swimming pool, and inadleqtuate equip ment were runners-up on this qtuestioni. s< Gtuy Lipscomb, president of the senior class, was almost unanimously selected as c the best all-round athlete at the Univer- h; sity. 90 per cent of the sttudents filling out b~ the questionnaire stated that they had I trouble wvith the telephone connections at f the University, and it was agreedl by 93 u per cent that freshmen should be required n1 to wear rat caps. c; Practically 100 per cent of the students c< are in favor of voluntary chapel atten- p dance, but more thani 64 per cent do not approve of having assembly at noon.
