Teena Needs Sul Tomorrow night Carolina football fans will witness the first home game of the season. Although the Gamecocks dropped their first game last week to Duke, Coach Bass and the team are optimistic and ex pect their record to improve this year as the season progresses. While the Gamecocks lack experience in spots, all signs now point to an exciting and successful season. A loss is always hard to take for everyone -especially for the coach and the team-- but the future does, indeed, look bright. This year's team is a fighting group, and they deserve all the support the student body can give them. When the game gets underway tomor row, we hope that everyone will get up and do his or her part in cheering the team on to victory. United and spirited support from the stands always helps greatly in boosting the morale of the team. As always, though, a few students will probably get a little too cheerful at the game, if past home football games serve as Radio Station N In the spring semester of 1962 The Gamecock editorially called Carolina's cam pus radio station, WUSC-AM, "one of the sorriest forms of communication on our campus." The editorial went on to say: "If, after a thorough investigation, it is found that it would be impractical to revise the station so that its services could be heard by all, then we strongly recommend that WUSC be discontinued." Since the founding of WUSC in May of 1946, the student-operated enterprise has been fighting a losing battle. Over the years, the station existed largely through the dedi cated work of its staff. Operating with in sufficient funds, inadequate transmission lines necessary for coverage, and adminis trative misunderstanding, the station merely existed. Most students were compleely un aware that a radio station operated on the campus. After many years of tireless labor, WUSC began broadcasting Monday with an 80-watt transmitter, capable of reaching every student in every dorm on campus. The new transmitter was not an overnight im provement for the radio station; it has been in the process of being conceived and con i HENRY'S C OGNITO ergo suem - But pletless greei what am I?

A few others will be getting red-eyed and rowdy at halftime. Everyone wants to relax and celebrate at a football game - just have fun - but how far should this be carried? To a point where bottles are flying through the air, students are col lapsing, and brawls are erupting in the stands? We think the Student Body should try to be more considerate of the team tomorrow when they meet Maryland at the stadium. After all, we will be going to a football game, not a fashion show or a cocktail party. It often diverts the attention of others when groups of students celebrate wildly in the stands. There is no reason why we shouldn't have a good time at the game tomorrow night, but having a good time is one thing, and making fools of ourselves is something else. The team needs all the support possible from the stands, and we hope everyone will co-operate and cheer them on to victory. Dw Canupus-Wide structed for nearly ten years. Charlie Mor ris, to whom most of the credit for the new transmitter is due, was formerly wih WUSC as chief engineer in 1953. Over this long period of time, Morris, now with ETV in Columbia, has been planning and building the 80-watt transmitter. Credit is due, too, to WUSC's station manager, Graeber Jordan, who has labored all summer in organizing the station and the staff. Few people, such as Morris and Jordan, (and the entire station's staff, as well), would give so much of their time un less they were truly dedicated and sincere. Although WUSC's staff cannot be rewarded financially for their relentless efforts, the training they have received and will con tinue to receive will prove incomparable in their future plans, if it should be the elec tronic media. We wish the staff of WUSC every suc cess in the years ahead. Under proper guid ance and continued hard work, the radio station cannot but help to prove itself an important addition in tne field o communi cations at the University and a valuable service to the students. or brown legs, Oh, hell yes, I must be a stu torso cover.

MINTZ @ 0 Editor The Gamecock I)car Mr. Myers: Thanks for the editorial in last week's Gamecock regarding The Crucible. As you said, the semester is off to a good start. At our Tuesday meeting, about 20 interested students showed up and were introduced to our magazine. As editor, I am attempting to establish The Crucible as (1) an integral part of the reading mat ter for students interested in literary and art experimentation, (2) as a valuable medium for developing and displaying the talents of those wvriters and artists on campus, and (3) laboratory for students interested in magazine publication tech niques. To augment the latter aim, we are happy to have Prof. Ashley Halsey as a technical advisor, in - -Pete A Let's Tak< DAOeyouCeally believe in Ameica infreedom, in democracy? Then let's take a stand on basic issues, for democ racy must be practiced if it is to survive. In dictatorships, in Communist countries, there would always be people to tell us what to do. Here, we must decide things for ourselves, by thinking andl plan ning and working together. The future of America depends on you. If you return to your home towvn community, or take a job in Newv York, and let other people do your thinking for you, then your edlucation has failed. I F you think you know as much about wvhat's going on in the world as your hometown barber, hairstylist or grocer, then speak up! Don't let the other person do all the talking. As college students of todlay, we are tomorrow's leaders. We owe it to ourselves, our state, our country, to assert our mindla, for leadership comes only tc those who will take it. The time for asserting that leadership is now. In the field of education, South Carolina is either 50th, 49th or 48th in the nation. Any way you look at it, ours is a backward btate which has dlone little to improve its relative position among the other states. O URS is a beautiful and de.. serving state, with a wealth of economic potential. All that is needled is dlynamic leadership, properly channeled. it is our re sponsibility to provide that lead ership. We have ben educa ECTION T, Carolina!' rERS addition to faculty advisor Prof. Claude Neuffer. The attainment of the two former aims, however, will depend primarily upon stu dent response, both in submitting contributions and in receiving the finished product. The Crucible office, Room 209 in Russell House, will be open beginning Monday through Fri day, 9-3 p.m., with staff mem bers on hand to answer questions and receive constructive criticism from any interested student. We hope potential writers and read ers will use this opportunity to become more familiar with USC's literary magazine, The Crucible. DALE ALAN BAILES EDITOR 0 " 0 Editor The Gamecock Dear Mr. Myers: I would like to express my sup port for Mr. Todd Wilson as he seeks to discourage drinking at the football games. Drinkers are frequently offensive to non drinkers and spoil the enjoy ment of the game. Another practice that would best be discontinued is the un sportsmanlike conduct of booing the opposing team when they make a gain or we receive an unfavorable referee decision. It would be best to cheer for our team. Beat Maryland!! PEYTON N. JOYNER ndrews - - 3 A Stand to meet this responsibility. How can we fulfill this obliga tion to leadership ? There are many ways. We do not all have to become President. (There seem to be quite enough Ken nedys for that!) But we can be come informed on basic issues, we can take a stand, we can vote. We can become leaders in our communities, andi we must become leaders in our own famui lies. Leadership is a part of growing up. I N future articles I shall dis cuss some of the basic issues that confront us and suggest the stands that we, as college stu dlents, should take. I am a South Carolinian, and my remarks will be dlirected primarily to those studlents who have been born and raisedl (and intend to remain) in South Carolina. Subjects of (discussion will in clude foreign and domestic pol icy, the United Nations, race re lations, organized labor, and the income tax. TIhe Gamecock Is intended primarily as a voice for stu dent Opinion and news. We welcome letters from any student or member of the faculty under the toilowmng provisions. Letters must be signed with the writer's mailing ad. dress. We will withhold the writer's name if the letter requests it. However, we will print no letter that is ensigned. TODD M St Our home football season be gins this week as the "Fightin' < Gamecocks" face the University of Maryland at Carolina Sta dium. Last week saw us lose a heartbreaker to Duke, but Coach Bass assures us that this is to be "our week." The team is in ex tremely good spirits and has a tremendous amount of confi dence. Led by the cheerleaders, we are attempting to institute t "the new spirit of Carolina." 1 Gene Collins, head cheerleader, will have more to say on this subject later; but, let's begin this week to show the team that i we are behind them 100 per cent. 0@ 0 Student Senate reaffirmed on Monday the Athletic Depart ment's recent statement concern ing alcoholic beverages in the stadium, when it passed a reso lution stating that it "endorses and supports such a measure."

We urge that any of you having any sug gestion as to how we can im prove any area on the campus, write your suggestion on a piece of paper and drop it into one of these boxes. Also, remember that Student Senate meetings are open to all students, and we en courage members of the Student Body to attend. * 0 0 WUSC radio station is now Carl Hei Vietnam Places Ami Communists In Stru For World Dominati W ITH a major crisis facing America today over South Vietnam, where do you stand on the issue? What is the basic issue which involves the United States in this Southeast Asia nation? Is it that the United States has a sincere leve for the inhabitants of this country or is it because our aid is motivated by a fear of Coin nmunism? I, for one, say we are so motivated. Perhaps a good percentage of the world's population feel the Yankee dollar is just as potent as the Soviet bayonet. America must become cognizant of this fact. It is perhaps time that Americans took stock of their foreign policy and did something about it. P RESIDENT Kennedy h a s stated recently t h a t he "wants the wvar won, the Conm munists containedl, and t h e Americans brought home." It is good to make strong statements every now andl then for political affects, and to secure votes at home for the 1964 election, but is this enough? How does the Presi (lent plan to augment his (desire into an effective plan of action and to follow it through to a suc cessful conclusion? This writer feels that it is time to take positive action against the Communists (President Ken nedy promisedl us this back in 1960). Too, this writer is not so naive as to state that the present foreign policy is all the work of the Brothers Kennedy -- perhaps our first mistake was in not sup porting two democracies from the start; but, since this is not the case, we should proceed with the situation as it now stands. A S IT stantis now, we are deeply involved in a struggle with the Communists for world supremacy, andi Southeast Asia is the present pawn in the strug.. gle. The United States Is further faced with a potential Communist takeover in South Vietnam, and the United States has taken a position to prevent this.

It would seem foolish to with (iraw support from the Diem regime; b)ut, with its repressive measures, which seem a bit odious to most Americans, and its seeming antipathy toward the Buddhists (which number ap proximately 80 per cent of the pop,ulation) it might not be a bad idea.
