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.'

rect work of Cc.menil, through the

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.

Study Gives Coed
Opinion On Male
Clothing Habits
Syracuse, N. 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.
