Every semester we see with sadness a few of our friends wandering from our midst: Among us one day, the next they go up town, buy briefcases, derbies and double-breasted suits, (accoutrement with which they some how gain an air of frightening maturity,) and then disappear in Petigru College. They, to us, have entered a kind of pre mature death; we seem to them to be in fants. We become interesting to them only in the spring elections. And do they en ter the elections! With the exception of the chairmanship of the Honor Council, (a po sition which involves some real work), there is not a single major office open to them that they do not hold. Look at this list of offices at present held by law students: President of Student Body, Vice-president of Student Body, both stu dent members of the Athletic Advisory Board, two of the three members of the Social Cabinet, Editor of Garnet and Black, President of Blue Key, President of O. D. K., President of K. S. K., President of Euphradian Literary Society, President of Clariosophic Literary Society. What im portant office is there left for the academic student? Why should a group of 102 la'w students, one-fifteenth of our student body of 1,500, have all these political plums? We base our complaints against law stu dent control (in addition to the obvious reason of inequality in distribution of of fices) upon the following reasons: (1) Politics: In too many cases the law stu dent goes into school politics with an eye toward later state elections. We're tired of being practised on by boys who are go ing to run for the legislature next year. The two most famous political rings on the campus in recent years were controlled by law students. In like manner, law stu dent control has changed our two famous "literary" societies into bombastic bull-ses sions of parliamentary jugglery. (2) Blaseness: We believe that the fa mous lack of school spirit at Carolina may in part be traced to the 'patronizing air that law students assume at University athletic contests. Their dignity will not permit them to become excited. We poor adoles cents naturally copy our elders. (3) Downright greediness: Four years of college should be enough for any man to collect honors. Give the rising genera tion a chance. We need the training the law stud(ents already have received. They have their own organizations, why don't they stick to them? The interests of the law student and the academic studlent seldlomn coincidle. We go to classes in different buildings, we do not go around together. A large p)roportion of the law school did not attend acadlemic school at Carolina, but are transfers from other colleges. We alre in effect two col leges excep)t for the fact that the law school takes over the best honorary positions on the campus. In the comning month, when candidates start campaigning, remember this: The walking brief case, dlerby, and (double b)reastedl suit, is also likely to be a stuffed shirt. STILL A MESS We're sick of writing about it, and we're sure that the campus is sick of hearing about it; but we're sicr still of the situation. Three issues ago The G?amecocko pointed ouit the impossibility of the chapel meeting hour. Since that -time twvo petitions adlvocating two different methods of change have been cir cuhating on the campus. Class discussion showing student and faculty disgust with the system has become one of the main activities of a number of the English classes. Yet to day we meet again at 10 o'clock and again classes will be pushed up. The newly-formed committee must do something about it, and right away. Yes, we're sick of talking about it. But until the system is changed we are reserving this sec ,tion of our columns to the matter if merely to the statement "Voluntary Chapel is still a mess!l" Htin Hodes, Eherine NareyE sola Garety.

After a satiat- t ig dish of southern barbecue and me interesting dialogue, Dempsey roceeded to sign countless auto- 3 -aphs for his admirers, in pen, in pen 1, on photos, blotters, cards, and ren blank checks. Every letter in e s signature was carefully formed; t once did he hurry, worry, or show gns of boredom.

CAMPUS BIGWIGS are somewhat r rturbed about the voluntary chapel t tuation-the hours and the pro- a ams. From one source came the )inion that the speakers should have i more interesting background. For stance, he noted, we might have se :red Dempsey last week to address ' e student body.

We've picked the people- we want to udges of the candidates for May Queen his year. They're the most partial j udges ve could find. They know every co-ed who s going to appear on the stage on the night >f the contest. Each one of the judges . vould fight with the others in defense of is choice. Every one of them will be >pinionated and have his mind pretty well nade up before the girls come out to be udged. As far as judging for beauty is con. erned they might as well turn out the ights and judge in the dark. According o aesthetic standards they will probably nake the screwiest decision in the many rears of screwy decisions. They will make lorrible judges, but we want them. They re :-the student body of Carolina ! Now, why not? Who knows who would nake a good May Queen for Carolina if ve ourselves don't? Import impartial hill illies from the slopes of Sassafras Moun ain if you wish, but let them take the hosen maidens back to reign on the slopes f Sassafras Mountain. We want our own ueen, not somebody else's. Do it this way: Give each student attend ng the contest a ballot as he walks in the loor. Five minutes after the pageant is ver collect the votes from the audience. 'ake the highest three from this ballot nd vote on them in the regular way the ext week. The highest three are bound o represent pretty nearly the student body pinion. And an election of chls kind vould so crowd Drayton Hall that we lon't believe any campus group,-even forty l,ri-Deltas--could swing the balloting heir way unless the rest of us wished it. Who cares if we don't get the most beau iful girl? We don't want the most beau iful girl; we want the girl we like the est, the girl that best represents Carolina. ke she cross-eyed, bow-legged, freckle aced, and stringy-haired, she will be our hoice. BOW 2!AMMON This week we return our editorial page to :s old place on page four. The reason, as is a reason for many backward steps at 'arolina, may be answered by one word: Mloney."- National advertisers have insist I that they be assigned the back page to isplay their products. 'While we feel, like our predecessors, that le back page is the best place for editorials ndl feature material, both from the stand oints of appearance and readibility, yet ioney is money, and The Gamecock is in ebt. 'When we receive a larger allotment, r when local advertisers become more con ious of the value of campus advertising, e will change back. Till that happy day e will try to keep a balance between ed orial andl business interests and present a ~adable, financially successful Gamecock to arolina. 'S GO NEXT rHlE IHIGHJ SCHOOLS Now that we have our Carolina county ubs, let's do something with them. As a arter we propose this: Let each county uib, when Easter vacation comes, take ame with it a quantity of Carolina mate al,--old annuals, Gamecocks, the Y's Bird, niversity catalogs and application blanks. Take this material before the students of >ur home high school. Tell them about arolina. Counteract the propaganda spread gainst us by pointing out our good quali es. If Carolina has been worth your com-~ ig to, show the home-folks why. We bring this up at this time because we el that an effective campaign at Easter me nleedls preparation. The chairmen of 'e groups shoirdd get in touch with the high hool back home, make arrangements for aterial, and plan programs which will real 'interest the prospective students. If you nnot interest the students of your own high hool, nobody can. We've sold Carolina to the State House, t's sell it to the stt..
