Complaint Dept. . .
2 have been told, in no subtle form, that this colunm is in a
rut. The greatest complaint seems to be that I present news of
the same fraternities, sororities, people, etc., every week. May
I add my own list of grievances? This is a society column. The
news herein is of happenings on the campus. People are very
hesitant about giving news. If people won't tell what's going
on, how can it be printed? Ience, if you, and I do mean you,
know any little tidbits, drop them in the campus mail in care
of either me or the Gamecock. They will appear in the follow
ing issue of the paper. All information will be greatly appre
ciated.

WhatDo You Thit
Coeds Have Speci
By Hamilton Simpson 4
When the final goal, after years of
struggling with cquasions, periods,
commas and split infinitives, is cap
tured or in other words, when Senior
replaccs Junior as rank in scholastic
achievements, we pause to draw our
selves ur Ad are prone to look lack
on the students who are aiming for
our coveted goal. Which brings i.p
the question of "Whether Seniors
should have special privileges ?"
Many seniors coed were polled cn
the question and the following an
swers were in the making:
B3rooksie Marshall - What Gther
privileges could seniors possibly have.
Lib Rihelin - I'd like to see 1.2
o'clock permission n Sunday nights.
Rita Steinheart-Yes, I think the
old( system of voluntary attendlane
for seniors who have a "B"' average
should be reinstaitedl.
Juanita Starr --~ Ys,ve have
worked for four long years for this
hionorabile rank and some concession
should lbe made to us.
Doris Cantelou-I don't knowv of
any other privileges that could be
given us.
Frances Mlil ler-WVe wouldl have
something extra. But I dlon't know
wvhat, maybe one o'clock permission
on Saturday nights.
Jerrydlean Robinson - Yes, there
shoul be somc difference between
seniors andl underclassmeni. I think
seniors who are passing should not
be required to take examinations.
Zelda Morrison-There are enough
now.
Eleaiior lonid-Seniors should be
allowed the privilege of dating wvho
they please wvithout permission.
Bert Wilson-Definitely, unlimited
cuts. You know, the survival of the
fittest.
Ethel Lazar-By all means!
Margaret Mc El veen--Certainly ! At
least w~e should not be required to
have permission from home to date
service men. Seniors should be old
enough to dlecide for themselves about
such matters. It would be nice, too,
if we couild have 12 o'clock pcrnlis
sion on Sunday nighit.

knoiwn local band.
The main highlight of the Carnival
is to he crowning of the Queen.
Shte is to be chosen thro>ugh an elec

a piece front a bototh int thie big Can
teen. The 12 girls having thre largest
niunbtler of votes after the t'.rst we.ek
or so of the balloting will ther rar
ticipate in the race for the Queenship.
One of thte largest attractions at
last year's Carnival was the ll ula
Girl show. Plaits are alreadyv under

of Independents had voted to set
their goal at $200 and give this
amount to thte McKissick Memorial
Futnd. Last year, the members con
trihuted approximatel.v $175 which
they gainied from the proceeds of the
Carnival.
The I ndepend(ent s' Carnival, held
annually in the Field I louse, will be
givent this year during the latter part
of May. No detinite (late has bcen

bigger the crowd, the more money
we can give to the McKissick Me
mnorial Futnd."
