M[ore than. 500 students have signed up to today, Carl Atkins, spokesman for the group, said. Tfhe Society of Liberal Thought was recently founded on the campus by a group of students to push stu dent-faculty relations. Faculty ruling on the social cab inet dances was that no persons other than the students of the Uni versity could b~e adlmitted to the dances, andl that the athletic ticket would have to be shown before ad mission. Faculty Ruling Society of Liberal Thought pro tests this action and asks that stu dents sign the petition in order to *give weight to the protest. "The petition will be submitted to the faculty committee at an early date," Atkins declared. "I have talked with several members of the committee and there seems to be some misapprehension as to the functioning of the social cabinet dance." Atkins pointed out that one mem ber of the faculty committee was under the impression that social cabinet dances were free, and there fore voted for the measure in order that students who could not afford other dances might attend. "We have not as yet gotten an 'adequate explanation of the action, although it is reported that certain members of the committee allege that they have one," he asserted. "Until we,get such an explana Stion, we will continue to stand against the ruling by means of the petition and other comoatting agents." Budc Grad Leader-j J. E. Harley New S. C.
