Studeni Council MeelingS Aren't Closed. But Regulated Several times this semester Ve have re ceivecl letters from students asking why the student council holds its meetings "in se crecy." Many have formed the impression that the council is deliberately keeping the student body from its sessions while it is going about "pulling the wool over" the students' eyes. Thus, to see what is going on, some have suiggestel that the student council ho1(l its meetings in, perhaps, th< Chapel, and all the students he nvite atl any time they wish. For several reasons, this cannot he lonc The Gamecock would like to clarify this twisted impression, both for Carolina stu. dents and the council as well. First. council meetings are not closel Memlers of The Gamecock and Garnet and Black staff and the Boosters Club have rj standing invitation at council meetings, 5< that studitents may be inflormedl of all act ion Secondly, the meetings have been hel< relatively closed in order that businHess may be transacted more speedily and withI less interruptions.

If you would like to attend a meeting, see one of the student body of ficers, and you will be invited. The present student body constitution also contains a clause which says, "Any ten members of the student body, upon signing a petition to the student council, shall have the right to call" a student body meeting, where matters being discussed in council coul be presented to you. It can be easily seen why these meetings haven't been left open to anyone who wan ders by. Many times questions come up which visitors would have a personal inter est in, and additional talk from visitors would slow up the meeting considerably. That is one reason why we do have a representative council, so that your business may be transacted speedily and easily. There may be many changes to come up in this present student body governing system in the near future which will elimi nate much of the dissent caused by this issue. But for now, permission of a student body officer is the only brake on your see ing a council meeting. Newly Proposed Constitution TIo Be U ) Soon For Approval One of the things now being discussed in the student council is a new student body constitution, which, it is hoped, may be ready for publication and student approval some time in the near future. The system, now being used very success fully in many of the larger schools in the nation, including the University of North Carolina, strengthens slightly the power of the student body and the government, and gives students a greater representation in a student Senate. Other changes from our lwesont system embody placing the dis ciplinary hoard under a Judicial Council, as well as the honor board, and both of these subordinate boards, made up of council mem bers, may have their decisions appealed to the council itself for further consideration. In addition to being approved by you, the student body, it must also pass the faculty and the Board of Trustees before being put into use. When the proposed constitution has been drafted into its final form, The Gamecock will print it, in the hopes that you will give its contets enough study and thought so that you will be ab)le to vote on it, one way or the other, when the time comes for student body approval, fully sure that your vote is not a hasty .juminp in ignor'ance. If' this constitution gets a whole-hearted studlent body approval, it will stand a much better chance of passing its other hurdles before it can be ratified. 1011 4u1o101een1(1t1 ur ('ont y ClIub Thle N(wma:n Club meets ev'ery -y firsit and third first and: t hird Tuesday of the month in 101 Le- monthI in 101 Lecgare College at 7 p. mn.

The paper caught fire, And burnt her entire Front page, sport section, and all. (Jeeze, you ought to have seen her comic strip!) On glancing through the newspaper last week these blaz ing headlines struck our eyes (ouch l), "Dingling Bros., Bar'em and Pail'em Circus coming tomorrow." Bedazzled by the splendor of the coming pageant, we made up our minds then and there not to miss the grand opening. We were made more eager by the event that took place last time the circus came through Stalecracker, Georgia. An elephant eluded his keeper and ran to the outskirts of town (didn't have much of a choice). He found a patch of fat cabbages near the kitchen of a shanty and began feasting. An old country woman, glancing out of the window, saw her cab bages rapidly disappearing. Having never seen an elephant she thought he was some new-fangled kind of cow. Franti cally -she telephoned the sheriff, "Get a posse of men, and chpse this cow out of my cabbage patch l" The sheriff was somewhat taken aback by the urgency of the woman's voice and inquired, "Why don't you do it yourself?" "He's tremendous, and I'm afraid of him," she shuddered. "Please come at once." "Well, lady," said the exasperated sheriff, "what is he doing?" "Oh," she whispered, "it's disgusting. If I told you, you'd never believe me !" Therefore, we arose early the next day and immediately set out for the circus. The crowd was immense and, though we had lanue(d to take in the main show first, we were swept into the side show by the mob. (And swept out by the .ianitor.) The first thing we noticed was the India Rubber Man. Since the regular one was stretched out, they had to use a two year old, a bouncing boy. The barker made his way to the front of the crowd, point ed to the next oddity, and yapped, "This is a young man from Lahore, Who's the same shape behind as before. We don't know where To offer him a chair, So he has to sit on the floor." W\'it h t h is he left us alone and tore off after some cat. By mistake, we stumbled inte, the freaks' dressing quar ters. There, a warming scene of lomesticality greeted us. On the knee of the Two--Ieaded Man sat his little daughter with one shoe off. Nearby, with a serene expression on her granite-like tace. was the Petrified Woman, his wife. The father was crooning to the child as he fingered her toes. "This lit Ile piggy went to market, This little piggy stayed home, This litke piggy had roast beef, This little piggy had none, This little piggy w'ent wee wee all the way home, And this little piggy . ..?" This was enough foi' us (too many is too much) so we fled towardl the main top). On the way we stopped.t~o feed the elep)hanits peanuts. A little boy and his father were there b)efore' us andl, in the way of proud fathers, the old man was. answering (luest ions, andl incidlentally showing off his knowl "What is that thing the elep)hant eats Peanuts with ?"W (lueried the child. "T'1hat'.4 his trunk, son,"' explained pap)a andI expandedI, "'It's one of' thle marvels of tile animal wvorld." "Oh. that ain't so much,'' liped the child. "My Aunt Mar tha's got a cedhar chlest."' l'indling ourselves out on a limb and pining for a niore ex (it ing show, we' beggedl 011r leaf, and1 moved on rather than sta.ving in the locale and(l making unpopular ashes out of (ourselves. IlJlmhowing our way through the groves of people we finally got into tile main show. The tight rope-walker was .iust beginning his act. (He wouldnl't hiave hlad the nierve' if he'd been sober). After' he l)assed his equilibriuml test, the master of ceremonies boom ed over the loudspeaker, "Next we will have The Bear Dane ing Act." The voluptutous music started and out strode three ruined bruins. What a letdlown! (What's bruin?) It was quite sonme timle before the mob got over this disappointment, but everything went all right until the aerial artist fell for the b)are b)ack equestr'iennie. She threw him over and he went to p)iec'es. (Sure he had courage--they were spread all over the tenlt. Thet gr'and( finale was quite the thing.
