C. Dr. Carlise is professor of polit :al science at the University. In his foreword to the book, 'rof. Clarence A. Berdahl of the lniversity of Illinois says Dr. arlisle's book is "important as nother in (a series of detailed) tudics" of the election processes various states. Analysis Useful Prof. Berdahl also comments, It is particularly useful to have his detailed analysis of the elec ion process in South Carolina, erhaps representative of the Deep outh, as yet a one-party state rith special emphasis throughout hc election and nomination sys mm on party loyalty." Dr. Carlisle's "Party Loyalty" races the early and modern evelopment of the election process nd discusses suffrage, registra on-enrollment, political parties, ominating process, general elec ons, special provisions, a n d minicipal elections. In his book, Dr. Carlisle com tents that examination of the lection process in South Carolina reveals something of South Caro nians' concept of liberal democ acy." State Not Conpelled Dr. Carlisle notes that although mendm"nts to the federal con Litution and federal court de isions were necessary to give omtteni and Negroes the right to ote, nevertheless the state "was ot compelled to allow women to e exempt from the poll tax or to ive them positions within the lemocratic Party." He continues: "And Negroes have a much reater degree of participation in olitics than is thought to be the use of those unfamiliar with cur 'nt happenings. Not only are iey able to register to vote with ut any difficulty but they are ncouraged to vote, and although ey have met with little success uite a number of them have run r public office." The professor of political science oncludes his book with these iourhts: "The unquestioning loyalty to h e Democratic Party vhich iacrac"terized S o u t h Carolina 21 Great Tobaccos z CHESTERFIELD KING tas 21 vintage tobaccos growi and made to taste even r CH ESTEF Tobarcos too m'ild to Writes Elections political life for so many year has recently shown signs of weak ening. Political Change "If the Republican Party reall; develops into formidable opposi tion, the complexion of politica life in South Carolina will show i radical change from the past: th< Democratic primary may no longe be more important than the gen eral election; perhaps the Negri vote, instead of being scorned a it once was, will be catered to a holding the balance of power. "Whether such thorough-goinj changes are really in the offing i only a matter of speculation. Th outcome of the present mild fer ment will depend on the menta attitude of the majority of Souti Carolinians, for we can be sur that their election system wil translate their political thought into action." Engineerin Tests Givej A new nationwide program ti help pre-college students decid, whether they have aptitudes fo 'ngineering is being aided by Caro lina where applications and re quests for test sites are being received. Late in March, JETS (Junio ;ngineering Technical Society: will coordinate administration of i specially designed aptitude tes open to students in grades 7-12 Tests will be administered to 5,001 >r more students at 100 testini centers throughout the nation. Pui pose of the program is t help students who may be doubt fil of their abilities and aptitude n engineering to find out whil, still in high school whether the: are proficient in the field and hov they compare to other qualifie< :tudlents. Dean Rufus G. Fellers of th< College of Engineering at the Uni vtersity said widespread concert over the growing shortage of engi neers prompted the testing pro gram. Volunteers, including the 1,001 volunteer advisers to JETS engi neering clubs in schools, will co ordinate the local testing pro <<i Inc. oake 20 Wonderful Smoked tes great, smokes mild.
