1 University of South Carolina Polume XXX% No. 17 COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1938 Founded 1908 POLITICAL RLLY WILL BE HELD ON MARCH 25TH. Carolina's political rally. will be held again this year on March 25, tentative plans announced by the Clariosophic Literary S6ciety state this week. The rally will be held earlier than usual because the new student body consti tution requires that some of the elec tions be held as early as April 1, this year. At the Carolina political rallies, each . candidate for a campus office is given opportunity to give his views on all subjects pertinent to the University. Because of the expense in putting on the program, a small entrance fee is required of every student appearing. The committee appointed this week by Monroe Fulmer, president of the Clariosophic Society, to have charge of all activities in connection with the rally under the co-chairmanship of Harper Welborn and Eldridge Bas kin is as follows: Sidney Duncan, John Garner, Minton Holland, and George Coleman. All campus organizatiodts, students, and candidates, are asked by the com mittee to co-operate with the society. and to give any suggestion that they may have for the holding of the rally. The candidates are asked to get in touch with any member of the com mittee to turn in their names and the offices for which they wish to quali fy. Letters will be sent to candidates in a few days to give them full particu lars. Full information will be given in The Gamecock in an early issue. This will be the third political rally to be held at Carolina. The first which took place three springs ago was held around the base of the Maxcy Gregg Monument. Last year the meeting was held in the Field House with J. P. "Spot" Mozingo presiding. --v.. o.
