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
