Survey of Possibilities Shows Few Women Ready to Hold Offices
The student body election ring is rapidly being drawn about Troy’s political cults, and the question ultimately arises as to what feminine headgear will be tossed into It within the next few weeks.
What started out to be a scientific survey of possible candidates for the various offices has ended up as a mere guessing game, for information regarding i candidacy is sparse.
POSSIBLE CANDIDATES Among the coeds who must be considered for major posts is Peggy Price of Kappa Alpha Theta. This titian-haired four-star coed has not as yet indicated her intention to petition for any office, but speculation has it that she may throw her

lecture of the spring series.
“The German student life prior to 1933 prided itself on its freedom.” . he said in his lecture on “The Dualism of the German Spirit.” “University students were not required to attend classes, go to lectures, or read texts. Examinations were never given. A man. to qualify for a degree, needed only to pass a comprehensive test at the end of his training.” he continued.
‘ In contrast with this freedom. Dr. von Hofe described the severe dis-
the interest of the common man and cause him to vote in their favor.” he added.
The National Socialist party stands today for authoritarianism, eliminating other political groups and suppressing the individual, he said.
“Not attempting to prophesy the future, it is my belief that Germany will eventually reach a middle path between her two spirits,” Dr. von Hofe concluded.

A cargo of strange marine citizens docked this week upon the laboratory tables of SC science departments. They were among the several thousand specimens brought back by the Velero III from its cruise in the gulf waters of Lower California with the recent Hancock expedition, headed by Capt.
--------| Allan Hancock.
Among the odd and glamorous names in this latest collection are such specimens as the royal tern, the Audubon aracara. the reddish | egret, Brewster's booby, and the osprey—all members of the bird fam- L ily.
SCIENTISTS SORT MATERIAL
Scientists in SC laboratories have undertaken the task of sorting, classifying. and identifying the many j specimens brought back to the cam- : pus by the 10 scientists who were ! members of the expedition's crew. Following this preliminary work, further study will be carried on.
The specimens are being exhibited by Granville P. Ashcraft, ornithologist who was a member of the crew. A unique creature, according to Ashcraft, is the fish-eating bat. The animal makes Its living from the | fish that it catches in much the same manner as a gull. It swoops close to the water, sights its prey, then seizes it. and carries it away. The bat measures about six inches in length.

During the explorations of gulf waters, the scientists operated from three major bases. In addition to the described species of animal life, the collectors returned with a number of interesting souvenirs of their journey.
