StudentCou RepoftOfAc The Student Council of the Uni versity of South Carolina for the year 1948-49 submits the following report of its work and achieve ments to the Student Body, Fac ulty, Administration and Board of Trustees. "When Council convened first on April 29, 1948, it was faced with a real challenge to secure one acceptable constitution and provide for better student government. Prior to that time some three or four constitutions had been bandied about and student government had fallen to an unprecedented low. "From that time to the recent elections a great deal of time in and out of Council meetings was spent on writing and pushing through and over many obstacles until the goal was reached. A committee was appointed to work on the constitution during the sum mer months. Returning to school, the work of ironing out the rough spots began and a good many changes were made; first by coun cUi itself and later in cooperation with a faculty representative. "The faculty ultimately approved it, as did the students in a special election and the Board of Trustees a short time later. Putting the new document into effect during the recent elections posed many problems not heretofore encountels ed in elections at the university, for the new document provided that each school of the university be represented on Council in propor tion w ts enreament. "As a result of the new system, more students voted in the Student Body election than ever before in the history of the university. Coun cil feels that this is a favorable trend and that in the years to come, democracy will grow at Caro lina because of the increased in terest that will inevitably be shown because of the new constitution. "An ambitious undertaking that proved unsuccessful was Council's backing of a plan to move the Unfiversity. Council, and its repre sentatives, was the dominant force behind the drive which folded ap proximately a month after its be ginning on Novenber 11. "Virtually all of the leading campus organizations and a ma jority of the student body paced the movement which endorsed Council resolution that 'The Stu dent Council resolves that the site of the University of South Caro lina be moved to another location and requests that the administra tion and the Board of Trustces consider this proposal before any permanent construction Is done on the present campus, and that mem bers of the Student Council will strive to present this matter to the administration, the Board of Tri.s tees, and the Public.' "On the list of accomplishments occurring either through the di rect work of Cc.menil, through the Student-Faculty Relations Coin. mittee, or at CL.uncil's suggestion are: the securig of trash cans for the campus, the idea for a Caro lina-Clemson award, granting the freshman class permission to elect four cheerleaders, the establidh ment of sophomore "rat" council, and the Carolina Washette.

"On several occasions Cou did not hesitate to stand up the rights of students and cens the administration. The first cident occurred at the first m ing in September when Council animously asked the administral to apologize for stopping a sti dance in front of McKissick brary. The dance, sponsored Delta Tau sorority, had been rel tered since the previous April An immediate apology was ceived.

Y. - (ACP)-A coed in the "Syracuse Daily Orange" tells why women mock men's '49 fashions: One, two, three: CHEER. With arched eyebrows, which really make for a sophisticated Bronx cheer, women are turning the tables or the fashion-ridiculous males of 1949. Given their chance at last, femmes are getting their mockery' in while the mocking is good. A progressive haberdasherers' movement decrees that the key note of clothing purchases should be "rugged masculinity." This is further designated as the "lusty look." Step one in achieving a stylish lust is the introduction of large patch pockets. There ought to be four, at least, on coats, suits and jackets. Sex appeal now comes in tweeds, serges, and gabardines. The pocket fad is accentuated by the optional addition of hand stitched sewing on coats and cuffs. This theme, say the Fashion Guild ers, can be carried through with sewn gloves Cravats are to be crazier, yet. and socks must have a bold de sign. Ankle-area embroidery is not frowned upon in the least. The man about town conmes to look more and more like a needlepoint mannequin. A matter of great concern to the male fashion dictators is the fear that, in attempting to mascu linize their clientele, they should in any way make them uncom fortable. Perish forbid. The sul tans of style, with emphatically thumping tape measures, insist that rugged may be synonymous with comfortable. Then, there is to be a marked prevalence of widespread collars. This might well be corrupted into plunging neckline for the hairy chesteds. Summer shoes are going to be of even lighter weight than the lattice-work sandals of yes teryear. But best of all is the final touch to this bizarre swin of '49. Abso lutely indispensable In creating the all-out rugged "lusty look" is-a cigar. t RESERVATIONS O LL'S i Club iA. c.y.Ua..

Graduates' who will not have reached their 31st biz thday in the calendar year in which application is made are eligible. Selections will be made in the rank of lieutenant (junior grade) and ensign, and preference will be given graduates who have serv ed in the armed forces or the U.S.' Merchant Marine. In addition, preference will be given candidates whose college curriculum has in cluded mathematics and science. Persons selected will be ordered immediately to active duty in thei Coast Guard Reserve for a two year period if their services are satisfactory during that period. Coast Guard officers receive the: same pay, allowance, medical and~ retiremlent benefits as officers of~ equal rank in the other armed' services. Under the present pay' scale a married ensign would re ceive $282 a month and a married lieutenant (j.g.) $317 a month. In adldition, ensigns receive $9 a month for every three years of' prior military service in any branch of the armed forces and lieutenants (j.g.) $10. Officers assigned to sea duty get an addi tional 10 per cent of their base pay, which in the case of an en sign amounts to $18 a month and a lieutenant (j.g.) $20 a month. Ensigns are being advanced to the rank of lieutenant (j.g.) after about two years' service and in any case are eligible for such ad. vancement at the end of three years without regard to existing vacancies, if their service has been satisfactory.
