Congratulations to Sol Blatt, Jr., Glenn "Rock" Yarborough, and David Murray for being elected to exactly nothing. We regret that these words are not original. A former Gamecock editor began an editorial in the same manner a few years ago. Student government around this institution is a farce. But well say no more about that right here. Now that the election is over we would like to comment. It was right amusing to see that the bids to the A. T. 0. dance, which was given before the election, did not call for formal dress. The McCradymen figured it this way-There were more votes than tuxs on the campus. They were right. - Furthermore, we imagine it's going to be rather hard for Sol Blatt, Jr., to release an official opinion of the student body which does not coincide with the opinion of the adminis tration because of Sol, Sr., etc. We hope, and even throw in a little side-line prayer, that we are wrong. Restrictions Discussed With Hope That Subject Is Still Of Interest At the risk of becoming unpopular with certain members of the faculty, we would like to remark about several points in the state ment released by the faculty committee on fra ternities and student organizations on the Sun day following the day S. A. E. fraternity was suspended. One-(quoting from the statement)-"The publicity was not given by the authority or with the knowledge of the committee, or any official of the University, the committee having unanimously adopted a resolution at a meet ing on March 11 that no publicity should be given the action." Is it possible that the members of the com mittee believed that they could take such ac tion and keep it quiet? Two--(again quoting)-"Convinced that by reducing the nulmber of dances and other so cial activities and by limiting the amount of money spent on such activities, the students would be given more time for studies, and they and their parents would be saved money, etc.-" A fraternity may give a tea dance in the year they do not give a regular dance. What the committee overlooked is that a tea dance costs exactly the same as a regular dance. The only difference is in the time. One starts at 6:30, the other at 9. The result . . . That argument is shot. Three- (quoting) -"A formal dance is de scribed as a dance given by an organization where it is necessary to use a dance hall and employ an orchestra." That's a poor definition and one which was obviously stretched to cover a situation. Emily Post would not agree. Question Of Week Has Some Answers Only non-fraternity boys were asked to answer the question-of-the-week. The results are interesting. Look them over. The question was-"Taking everything into consideration, do you think fraternities should be restricted to one dance every two years? Why?" Apparently nobody agrees with the ruling. We wonider why? Social Note A lovely, lovely party was chunked Wednes day night by the victorious politicians. And if you're thinking what I'm thinking --why, you're a dirty scoundrel. The boys did not misbehave.

ROBER' Entered as a Mary Daly Is Chosen The Gamecock-Campus Hollywood-Beauty Queen Congratulations to Mary Daly on something! On the front page of The Gamecock is the story which tells all about it. The Board of Beauty Experts, composed of four theatre managers, picked Mary from the twenty-three pictures submitted. That makes her Carolina's Campus Queen. (Not to be confused with May Queen, which is quite another affair.) Her photograph has been sent to New York. If the judges there agree with the judges here, it will be published in three issues of Radio and Screen Guide magazine. And we will have to spend our money buying magazines to vote for Mary because after all she is a Caro lina girl doing all this for the glory of the dump. That's the catch in the whole affair. How ever, if she is voted one of the top twelve, all will be repaid with a nice trip and a ticket to a show. We will keep you posted from time to time on what's happening in the contest. Just stick around and save your dimes so you can buy a lot of magazines. WCOS Makes Plans For Carolina Show In Modern Trend Station WCOS wants to present a weekly Carolina variety show ! t According to Roy Powell, manager of the station, there should be enough talent on the t campus to have at least a half-hour weekly in the modern trend. He promises to give a good time for the show, sometime in the early t evening. n There is no definite plan as to exactly what type of program will be had. That depends t on what sort of entertainiers we can find on the t campus.n The editor of The Gamecock, that's us, is in charge of rounding up some folks for the pro-t gram. If plans go through, the first one will t be presented within two weeks. And from il then on. WVe want singers, musicians, trios, quartets, a people who would like to work in short skits, 1 anything entertaining. And ideas ! This program is not to conflict wvith any sp)onsored by the Players Club, although any of the Players may p)articipate, in fact are o urged to (10 so if they are not too busy with "Johnny Johnson." There will be no varsity i, show on the stage this year. Maybe we can have one on the air. i la Anyway, get in touch with us if you're in terested. In the meanwhile, I'll be routing outr some of the shy geniuses. r Something Very Silly About Dr. T. Z. Koo Dr. T. Z. Koo made a speech here on the campus this wveek. And a Gamecock reporter V made a good crack. We will include it among the editorials be cause Patterson is getting too snooty (since he v got his by-line) to put it in Musclin' In. a Said a professor, discussing the eminent f Chinese gentleman, "Dr. T. Z. Koo is a brother a of the famous Chinese diplomat, T. Wellington ti Koo." Said the Gamnecock reporter, "That must be I b a Koo-Koo combination."

Why? Marion Harrison: "The more dances the better."'' Lester Pilcher: "I think that should be left to the fra arnities wvhether they can afford it or not." Bill Ward: "They should know what they can stand by the me they get to college.'' Jimmy Mulford: "I think they should be allowed one dance year. That would not be a strain on anybody's pocketbook." Harry Henson: "I think that fraternities should be restricted > only one dance a year.'' Ham DePass: "I think they should be permitted to dance and iake merry anytime that it does not interfere with studies." Carlyle Holladay-"I don't think .they should be restricted ; bey're paying the money for it, let them have as many as bey want." Robert Liies--"Let them have as many as they want, it don't lake a d- to me. I prefer pool." H. H. Ariail--"'They ought to be restricted, but once every wo years is unreasonable."4 Ray Seiger-"A set number should be set forth, and fra rnities should abide by it. I don't think one a year wvould Titerfere with the extra-curricular activities that the students 'ould want to have besides dances." J. K. David-"Too many dances are too expensive for the verage student at Carolina. One dance a year should be per iitted."
