Ss Spring Is Stay; A: The chirping of birds, the coming out of the ground hog, budding of flowers, late'cold snaps, fertilizer on the horseshoe and panty raids are all sometimes called signs of spring. Spring has officially been with us for over two weeks now and will remain with us tor the remainder of the semester. But will you? You more than likely won't if you have any ideas of starting more panty raids. At least if you put your ideas into effect. We are glad that no students were suspendedi as a result of last week's raid and there were incidents involved which gave us a few chuckles. The poem in the adjacent column is to the panty raid of last week what The Charge of the Light Brigade was to the Crimean War. Tennyson's poem and Fees Nee With the Carolina Student House nearicig completion, one question pops quickly to mind. Who's going to pay the upkeep?

Florence Nightingale were about the only positive results of the Crimean War. President Russell, though highly dis pleased with the raid of last week, indicated he was glad that no students had to be suspended since actual damage was almost negligible, an apology was made, and no male students were caught inside any of the girls dorms, although two got as far as the base nient of Sims. However, he issued a stern warning to those involved that such incidents would not be tolerated in the future and that had any male students been caught in any of the girls' dorms in last week's raid, they would have been shipped at qnce, no matter who they were.

We got through the panty raid without any noticeable physical injury to our person. w-tit Johnson and yours truly covered the event camera-wise in the name of journalism. Our results were rather poor-a cou ple of 8 x 10's which even we rated "not so hot." We didn't resent too much the inquiries of the spirited boys who took turns coming up to us demanding, "Hey, Buddy, who ya t.akin' dem )ictures fer?" and "whut ya going' to do wid 'em?"

We feel that ar ranging for all voting in the armory is definitely superior to the system heretofore used when about half of the student body voted in the post office lobby and the other half at McKissick. This improvement may have contrib uted to the larger turnout of voters-more than 30 per cent above last. year's turnout. One of the plagues that assails the poor voter on election (lay is that half-a-block or more line of poster-toting, card-distributing faithful-to,the-last campaigners who line the walks leading to the poling place. They normally have the persistence of a Fuller brush salesman and the inquisi tiveness of a newspaperman. Every passerby, be he voted or he he not, must tell if he has fulfilled his civic duty, and if he says no, he is immediately showered with the high qualifica tions and merits of no less than a dozen candi<lates, if he is lucky. Finally, tired by a harmony less chorus of voices, he stands before a voting machine and tries to remember the candidates he had set his little head on voting for before the storm. We would like to go on record as favoring at least a toning (own of these assaults on the loved-for-a-day voters.

His name is Thomas Cooper, the second pres ident of the college, whose only memorial is a plot one block off campus where he is buried under the 0pitaph, "to the sacred mIlemory of Thomas Cooper erected by a portion of his fellow citizens." Carolina's campus is distinctive for its heritage and far-reachinp ties with the early growth of th< state. Our buildings and history had birth when the United State: was the beginning of a drelnil and South Carolina was one o the union's fRirest and most abl< daughters. Many of the build ings on camp~us eulogize the mei of history who built a great Caro li na and a great nation.
