Press Bate Collect By George Zuckerman WITH BIRDS (GAMECOCKS) AT THE ELECTION POLL: Polls and11 poles seem to be in for extremes. But while frigidity reigns at the Siuti l'ole, a heat wave rained perspiration this week at the campus poll in the shadow of the law school which, in case you ldidn't already know or care, is the cauldron of the slowly petering campus politics. Shortly after novn Wednesday thunder clouds took shape in the local sky, resultinv froin the hot air rising from the ODK circle and vicinity. Ihe' only politico who didn't shed his coat was Bubba Ness. It wasn't so much that the Ness \lonster, as the -other faction dubs him, wasn't aftected by the heat. But he needed the extra pockets to hold packages oi chewing gum and cigarettes. The gum was contained in sanipl!e packamv- aid the cotfin nails were Yeuniiii's brand. * * * * * You allowed yourself to be bribed, took a package of gum. You don't chew the stuff, but you figured you knew someone who did. As you approached the poll and the realm of the perpetual smile and glad hand you had a five cents cigar planted in your mouth. It was a hint, biut nobody took it. Finally you lput the suggestion in verbal form-but still no stogies. So, with some indignation, you stepped up and voted a straight Republican ticket-just for spite. Just before you penciled the ballot, a man well past the usual col lege years went forth to cast his vote. Two conjectu'res arose in your mind: either the man was a member of the faculty, or he was a refugee from the gubernatorial election. However, the momentary mystery was cleared when Sidney Diuncan told you the man in ques tion was Ilenry Davis, a law student. * * * * * It had been your personal impression that college politics was just another major sport. But the mad 'Matthew Poliakoff put you wise. Matthew is one of the luminaries of the Bob ;IcCrady faction. Said he, in his usual crusading tone: "''his is another fight for the preservation of democracy. 'McCrady is the man of the people." It turned out that Poliakoff was very wrong for Sol Blatt, Jr. won the election, having the support of the eligible people of the campus. So down to a dismal defeat went the Sidney Duncan machine. Join ing in the mournful follies were the henchmen-Bubba Ness, Billy McGarity, John Crews, and Homer Roof. Wednesday twilight on the campus fotind Stokes Davis sporting the broadest smile around these parts. And around himi and nearby were the winning lieutenants-Ton McCutcheon, Bimbo Howe, and Judge Holland. * * * * * You were very glad that Holland took an active part in the cam paign. The eloiqent screwball has been very tetcent this semester. Should lie begin exercising his vocal chords and his liver, the campus would hum with excitement once more. Most despondent of the political bosses we talked to was Homer Roof, of the Duncan crowd. Bernie Bass, the statisticalite, told Homer that lie lost more votes than lie gained by talking to prospective sup porters. Second place in the despondency race goes to Sid Duncan himself. It seems lie committed soime political blunder the other 0 night inl connection with Blue Key. And despite the fact that Stokes Davis told him he was the best politician the campus has had since Gedney H'we, Dutican was still depressed. All this occurred whei the presidential election was still in progress and the winier was not yet evident. * * * * * Anyway the losing faction joined Wednesday night with the victors andh dledicatedl the evecning to a onetime naval hero. 0One journal im stumden t, reporting the political rally in thle ticid house, wrote . . .

Several provisions are extremely vague by using general terms and the docunent now lacks continuity. For example in Article IV it says to see Article VIII for what this provision refers to.

In the new constitution the stu dent council of 15 consists of the president of the student body, a senior, first vice-president from the law class, second vice-president from a girl of the senior class, secretary treasurer of the student body from the junior class, the four academic class presidents, presidents of the law federation, co-ed association, and honor council, and one repre sentative from each of the four lit erary societies. -USC's Prettiest (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) "I think that the Gamecock con test was just what the campus needed, and in my opinion there's no better college paper around that The Gamecock," Miss Dalv said.
