Blatt 'Honored' By
Latest USC Effigy
(From The State, April 25)
Hangir g effigies of university
authorities, a fall and winter
pastime of Carolina students,
made a spring revival on the cam
pus last night with Representative
.Sol Blatt of Barnwell, former uni
versity trustee, as the "victim."
-What prompted the display, ac
cording to the signs, was the elec
tion yesterday by the nouse of rep
resentatives of 25-year-old Sol
Blatt, Jr., as his father's succes
sor on the U.S.C. board.
A chest placard on the dummy
read, "King Sol Blatt," and a sign
dangling from the trousers bore
the inscription: "King Sol:
Through my son shall I rule, with
house members as my tools . . .
The legislature: Yea oh master!
We hear and obey, Catolina's blood
was spilled today."

Petition Rejected
Recently, a petition was pre

Smith by the band members to
obtain new uniforms and a larger(
allotment so that Carolina couldI
have a bigger and better band,
and paid room rent for members
on out-of-town trips. The petition
was rejected, but the group is still
hoping for some concessions that
will help make the student body
proud of its music makers.
Director Louis Fink asks that
anyone who plays an instrument
and is interested in joining the
band come to rehearsals, as the
groundwork for the coming year
Is being laid now. More drum ma

Reasons for the nullification of

ee Students were voting in all

re individual classes as called for by
the present student constitution,
ed The State, local newspaper, report
ed in a story Thursday.
The cases of students casting
se more than one ballot will "prob
s ably" be brought before the Honor
u- Board, the student body president
declared.
Brogdon stated that, to prevent
the recurrence of the situation,
"new voting lists will probably be
prepared from the files at the
YMCA office, listing sophomore,
junior, and senior class members
separately instead of the entire
3. student body on one list."
;e With the results of the first
election invalidated, Al Bahret,

ter as candidates for senior class
president. Joy Conard, Barbara
