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.

tend an invitation to any students who have
seen him personhlly and desire to sit in on
the meeting, within, of course, a certain
number. 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.

PILLOW To POST
There was a maid from St. Paul,
Who wore a newspaper dress to a ball.
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. Claude Beatty, the
famous w~iIld anlimal tr'ainer, wvas to eniter' an arena with
leopard(s, leopar'desses, tigers, tigresses, panthers, panther
esse's, lions, and1 lionesses.
