See Here, A certain Carolina student has gone to higher -ups asking why professors get paid for a full day's work while working only half a day. Mr. Ross, we hope you were being face tiois, though we will admit that there do exis;t ' few people in this world who do not realize the value of education. The facts are that professors put in about twenty-five hours a day on their chosen pro tessionis. Iii addition, many of them must accept outside Jobs in order to support their famlides. A iprfcsmor's day is only begun when he 2nish . his daily class load. He must then preizu-kI t~ I nXt ly's lectures; grade papers for' a Lew ioIr; make out exams for lacka dsical si ilets; do research for the articles W ibook-k he must publish in order to rise in his dledparitnent; and answer dumb tele phoieif calls from students asking if they missed anythiig by cutting class. Does this .;ound like a half-day's work to you, Mr. Ross? -In.y of t he professors takie on additional work loads with no comtipensation (in their "spare ti e), such as coaching debate, sponsoriIg stliudeit publications, acting on plublic rel:itions committQes. and spolsoring Crucified My, my. they're at it again. It seems that some i rate ladies are gunning for the "Crucible." "Bal, bad!" they said. their feathered hats d11ding atfirmatively. So they decided to do away with the Uni versi.'l. Their method was to be the drafting of a letlte to the State Legislature asking that the 1'ziive'rsity allocation be taken away. A level-headed minister disuaded the hla ie.'s 'lrimil their veiture into censorship, which is a good ing. since their little feel ings might have been hurt otherwise.

They do this because they are interested in their work. By the way, Mr. Ross, have you looked recently at a comparison study of educational salaries in this and other states? Why don't you try it, you may come in for a rude awakening. Though salaries are bad all over the edu cational field, South Carolina is near the bot tom. Again, we thank God for Mississippi! We contend that professors receive only a half-day's pay for their day's work. "The Gamecock" would like to propose the doubling of every professor's salary . . . wishful thinking. This would make their salaries commensurate with those of well educated and well-qualified people in other fields. We just wonder why these men, who could earn at least twice their present salaries in other fields, stick with educating a bunch of unappreciative, indifferent, fun-loving stu dents. Maybe it's just the occasional dawn ing of that rare light of comprehension as some student suddenly understands an arithemetic progression or a nominative absolute. Hein' a professor. Mr. Ross. ain't no bed of roses! -J. A. K. 'Crucible' want to read? These are not evil-minded lechers seducing the snovy minds of naive young people, but (pen-minded, expressive young people put ting their thoughts and feelings on paper for the benefit of other ol)cn-minded young people. So some of the ideas in the "Crucible" are unorthodox, so what? Christianity, at its in ception, was most unorthodox. It differed from all ideas then in existence. It was only after many years that it developed its own 1)attern, its own orthodoxy. New ideas evolve, new concepts are born, and new literary styles emerged from the p:tges of collegiate literary magazines and newspapers. Some of the greats of tomor row's literary scene are now pecking type writers on college campuses. Are they going to be stopl)ed by outside interference? No! Ladies, we have only this to say, you are off camptis, why not stay off? -J. A. K. Are Cheaper cial incidlent occurring at a (dance at which Negroes per)formed. But the Gamecock has a (different version. The studlents want Negro bands at their p)art ies for two reasons: their music is more en.ioyable ; their price is more reasonable. The st udents claim you can hire an excellent Negro band for $60 up to $150 while a com pairable "'white" band costs $350. A fine way to go about winning equality for our citizens.

Everyday "Your daily life is your templ and your religion." -Kahbl Gibrai College students are often dis couraged by the hypocrisy an< false values of the society ir which they live. The college yearE are a period of questioning; eval uation, anxiety, and finally iden tification with some emulate< persons and sub-cultures. These anxious years are oftei thought of as a period of rebel lion, but a more proper tern would equate the college yearE with a transvaluation of identity The intelligent college studen does not want to accept folklor( and established values withou first seeing the reasons which in dicate the positive and negativE aspects of these customs. The college student makes a demand. He demands the fact, from both sides before making a decision. How is this demand met ? lie is constantly told "don't even bother to listen to the other side, because our side is right." He hears a hundred dif ferent religions shouting at eac other, "our side is right, and your side will go to hell." Mike Sheheen We Need Carolina continues to grow every semester. As the number of stu dents increases, it is impossible tc expand the physical facilities pro portionately. Russell House is one of th< most luxuriant student union build ings in the Southeast. There is no gripe about this. It does presen1 one pressing need-that of spac available for student activities. Ii is far less than it should be. To solve the situation immmedi ately, the University can't under take an expansion program. I only needs to expand student uss to rooms already available in Rus. sell H-ouse.

When used against his iberal opponent before a gullible nd misinformed audience, it has ad telling effect. Most liberals ave learned to expect this sort f thing from the ignorant and ninformed. But when a column t (such as Bill Able) in a college iewspaper (such as "The Game ock") uses this weapon, the harge at least deserves consider tion. In last week's "Gamecock," Mr. Lble directed a lengthy diatribe gainst the "socialism" of to ay's Democratic p a r t y and urther declared that the death of emocracy is imminent because of he trend of today's general we] are legislation. In the first place, I might point ut that Mr. Able is attempting D distort the proper meaning of he word socialism to include veryone who disagrees with him. The theory or system of the wnership and operation of the aeans of production and distribu ion by society or the community ather than by private indivi uals. . ." This is socialism. Can ny rational person see where ack Kennedy's "New Frontier" rogram plans to begin taking ver the means of production or istribution? Of course not. There 3 quite a great deal of difference etween regulation and socialism nd let us not be so absurd as to onfuse the two. Quotes Able Delving into history, Mr. Able urther declared: "It seemed not a matter to (Franklin D.) Roose elt whether the majority wanted r needed the benefits of such gislation (The New Deal)." In 933 fifteen million men were rithout employment. Banks were ailing by the score and businesses y the hundreds. Perhaps even iorse than this economic stagna ion, sheer deprivation gripped a irge segment of the American opulation. For these and many ther reasons, I think I can state mphatically that you can be damn ure the American People needed e benefits of such legislation. If I may digress for a moment rom the charge of socialism, I ote that Mr. Able speaks quite isparagingly of rule by the iinority; referring to the various iinority groups which are strongly epresented in our government to ay. I might ask what he thinks f the stranglehold on past con Tesses by the coalition of conser ative Republicans and Southern )emocrats. Was this not rule by he minority ? Continuing, he deplores the sup 0osed eros5ion of the rights of in ividuals. I'm as interestedl in hese rights as anyone, but I fail a see how the rights of indivi uals can be safeguarded by llowing children to grow and nature in wretched slums; by .llowving old peop)le to suffer need rssly because they are unable to fford minimum medical care and y permitting our educational sys em to become second-rate to that *f the Soviet Union. Please, No Speech And p)lease, no speeCch on "state's ights." In most of these vital res the majority of states have nade it quite clear they are un villing to shoulder responsibility. f our present system is unwil ing to solve these p)roblems I ave mentioned then I believe it ceeds a severe and thorough xamination. The enlargement of the lIou.se tules Committee is cited by our olumnist as an example of the urrent trend toward destruction four democracy. Let me re nind Mr. Able that the Rules sommittee was not formed as a up)er-legislature to decide which ills should b)ecome law. It was rganizedl simply as a clearing ouse through which legislation vorthy of consideration should be rought before the House. Worthy Bills Certainly bills of such impor ance as housing, medical and edu ational aidl are at least worthy f d e b a t e and consideration. 'urthermore, I personally find othing "undemocratic" about al - awing our properly elected rep esentatives to vote on legislation f major importance. Finally, let me say that I be eve in the exchange of differing pinions in our free society and o I firmly dlefendl Mr. Able's ight to state his convictions. But just as firmly deplore his use f the emotion-packed charge of socialism." It is a convenient andle with which to tag your pponents, but I personally find quite incompatible with the acts. Sincerely, Letters Dor Editor: I am the author of the poem (mentioned in last week's letters column) in defense of the mascot. I really didn't mean for it to sound so cruel, but I think the mascot really deserves credit for his fine spirit throughout the sea son. Charlie Gibson Dear Editor: I am a northern college student writing a research paper on the topic "The Feelings of the South ern College Students A b o u t Forced Integration." There is very little documenta tion on this subject. The only way of obtaining this information is from the students themselves. Since there is no way for me to obtain this information I am writing to you for assistance. I would appreciate it very much if you would publish in your school paper the following request. I would like to have the stu dents write me, at 429 East Grandview Blvd., Eric, Penn., telling me their feelings about forced integration and why they feel the way they do. I would like to know if they dislike the Negroes and the reasons why or why not. I would also like to know the age and state of resi dence of each student. The success of my paper de pends on my obtaining an answer from as many students as possible. It also depends on my receiving the answers as soon as possible. Thanks to you and all the stu dents who help me in writing my paper. Yours truly, Rodney Campbell Dear Editor: It has come to the attention of t h e Amalgamated Non-mated Petunia Growers Club that one of the professors at your university is teaching premarital interdigita tion to the sacred youth of Amer ica. This shocking exposure has upset our club considerably. Although our primary purpose is the raising of purple petunias in a healthy atmosphere, we do, on occasion, sacrifice valuable club time in the hope of correcting some of the ills of our society. Resolution We have, therefore, passed t1% following resolution: Whereas, the University of South Carolina is said to have been teaching, advocating, and abetting the unclean practice of premarital interdigitation, and Whereas, this practice is cor rupting the minds and morals of our sacred youth, and Whereas, doctors recommend that hands be washed at least twice a (day, and indicate that germs may be transferred to clean handls from such unclean objects as other hands, dIoorknobs, andl United States (urrency, lBe it therefore resolved, that t h e Amalgamated Non-mated Petunia Gr'owers Club of America hereby highly urges the Univer sity of South Carolina to ban the teaching, advocating, or thinking about the subject of premarital interdigitation, and Virgin Currency? Be it further vesolved that the students of the University be urged to use handkerchiefs when opening doors, and use virgin U. S. currency which has not been ex posedl to general circulation, and that the University advocate t& more healthy and moral practices for human hands, such as petunia gardlening.
