Illegal P1 In a recent fracas in the Student Council, the problem arose of deciding which of two conflicting constitutions was legal. Constitution number one stated that no student while enrolled at the university shall be allowed to hold more than one of the offices of president, first vice-president, sec ond vice-president and secretary-treasurer of the student body, and president of the junior and senior classes. Constitution number two had an entirely different honor system and a provision re lating to the Carolina Review (established on the campus in 1945) and provided that student body officers and junior and senior class presidents -shall not hold the offices simultaneously. Under number two, the word simultaneously makes it possible for a person to run for any and all offices. In re the Carolina Review, number two had to be an amended number one. Both eonstitutions stated that all proposed amend ments should be published in The Gamecock and that the secretary-treasurer of the stu dent body shall keep the constitution reg Interest Yourselves In Many students are asking themselves why they should concern themselves in the student elections when the capacity of a student body or class official is more or less honorary and of no integral part of the func tion of the university system. It is sometimes a question well worth while to consider. How much attention does the university system pay to the student system of representation? It is certain that student officials have no real "power" as we know it. What shreds of this "power" they have is granted by the university in name only. The power to gain or lose for the benefit of students is vested not in the position of the student officer, but by his office he is In This C By CARROLl The Nxt PesidntHe "'"st be TheNex Prsidnt consider thei The idle question of which is demands of I best of the candidates for presi- Student No. 1 dent of the student body will bej campus, and mn answered next week.

Neither of these has been done. The Student Council, a body of 15 elected members, decided which was to be the con stitution of the student body. In a debate, it was brought out that number two was the more liberal and therefore the council should recogniZe it over number one. The question was not one to determine the liber ality between the t*o, but as to the legality of the one. Had number one allowed these six officers to run for office, council no doubt would have adopted that one. Both constitutions state that a two-thirds vote of a student body meeting of 200 members present shall be necessary-but yet a body of eight passed on the question. How can six persons, who are affected by the word "simultaneously,' sit on council and vote for number two? The secretary-treasurer of the student body and the president of the junior class voted for a constitution which allows them to run for president of the student body. Teague.

Grin and Bahret AL BAHRET The Fable Of The Hollow Rooster Once upon a time on the chicken farm there was a rooster by the ame of Rupert. He was a fine healthy chick to begin with. But he ent wrong. Got dazzled by all the flashy feathers he could get. Now when Rupert was just a young growing chick he was like all the other little roosters. He loved to stretch his wings in the sunlight and try out his crow and all the other things young roosters like to do. But alas. One day he saw a watch chain! One of the "grown-up" roosters had twined up some corn silk and ad stretched it across his front with colored kernels of corn and I sorts of things, like a .piece of oyster shell and even a pebble in ie shape of a hammer, hanging on it. Rupert was impressed. Very ripressed. Then he noticed that some of the roosters had gaudier feathers than others. They were really beautiful stuck here and there on a rooster. Added a lot to a rooster's natural plumage. Some had a bright garnet one, others had a brilliant black one, and so on. Rupert could hardly wait to sprout one. He hoped that he would have them all. But no matter how hard he strained he never did sprout one. As a grew up and realized what the chicken farm was all about, he >und he was going to have to go out and get them himself and then ick them on. So Rupert looked around and saw what the other roosters with the ashy feathers had to do to get them. He saw them working hard 'd going to a lot of trouble. But he didn't want to bother with all iat. If he did, he'd only be able to get a few. And he was going to ive to work fast. Because Rupert wanted them all. First he spotted the bra-a-ackternities. These were groups of roosters that got together and would fuss and feud and cackle and bra-a-ack, bra-a-ack, bra-a-ack at each other far into the night. And strut around in most secret and mysterious ways. But only in front of each other. And each group was very loyal to itself. A loyalty that justified all sorts of underhanded things. Or at least the roosters felt it did. And when you got into a bra-a-ackternity you got a whole new t of razzle-dazzle tail feathers. It was the best start you could get. 3r false feathers. Rupert nosed around, sticking his beak here and letting his cox mb be seen there. And there were a great many of these groups. ne of them would huddle together and then race off getting every here they could, going "bekbekbekbekbekbek sigma CAW, sigma AW, sigma CAW." Another group would stretch up on their toes and ap their wings impressively and crow "CAahACK-KLE AL-L-L ULL" so that all thc chicken farm could hear. But there really wasn't much diffefence among the bra-a-ack rnities except for the tail feathers and the names. Some were called e 'I Kackle Phine's' and others were called the 'I Kackle Awful's' d so on. Well, Rupert got into one of them and got himself a set real flashy tail feathers. Then he got into Kackle Sigma Kackle (before they go so high lutin'.- they called themselves the Chicken Service Club. Wonder hy they didn't like the old name?) He got a real bright feather for at one and planted it right under his wattles. And he finally got a ue kernel to hang on his corn silk chain, too.4 Why, when he was finished he was the most splendid rooster you would ever want to see, lie was completely covered with all sorts of brightly colored feathers and polished kernels. The sun light would play on all his glossy feathers and he looked like a jewel in the barnyard. Then the day came for him, as it does for all chickens, to go out to the great cock fight. And he got a tag on his leg telling he had en raised on the chicken farm. He strutted off the farm turning maelf right and left so the sun would flash on his feathers. By this ne Rupert wvas completely covered with them. Alas! In the very first fight another rooster lit into poor Rupert methimg awful. How the feathers did fly! Riupert didn't put up uch of a fight, Hie couldn't. He had wasted away to skin and chicken mnes under his bright shell of feathers. His own natural plumage id molded under all the feathers he had posted over them. He had en so busy collecting feathers he had even forgotten all about the ash that Mrs. MacUlty went to all the trouble to mix up so specially r him. He had even forgotten how to do things. Dear, old, near-sighted Mrs. MacUlty (still rhymes with FacUlty) und him not far from the farm. He hadn't got very far. She picked the deflated form along wvith some of the stray feathers that wore ill near and put them altogether alongside all the other hollow6 osters that had gone before. Then she tacked back up the little sign she had made for them and hich bore the inscription, "When I ope'd them up, on all their hearts as writ, 'Carolina.'" inor officer of professional group .........10 resident of KSK ..- - -3.. 0 acording Secretary of KSK - ---20 ember KSK . -. 10 teut. in Naval ROTC --- ----25 eut.
