Sumter County At First Public Senator Scarbortough of Sumter county spoke to the first public af fairs forum of the spring semester at the McKissick library Tuesday night. 8 p. m. Senator Scarborough spoke on South Carolina govern ment. Gordon Shoemacker newly ap pointed member of the committee. presided over the meeting. The committee has been discussing South Carolina government during the past months because the Gen eral Assemlbly has been in session, and students have been able to ob serve state legislation first hand. Later discussion topics wvill concern capital.. labor, and management. Senat or Scarborough expressed pride at the state and said. "I am proudt at it." H-e went on to say that,j a great deal of South Carolina's pr-ogress has been due to the fact that legislation has bee-n founded on research and fact-finding. Scarbor-ough said that all state institutions need help; the unive sity is not the only otne that needs help. Senator Scar-borough is sponx soring a bill in the legislature which, among other things, would coordinate the needls of all state schools; and, he says, eliminate petty politics. At the present time. every legislator is aftraid another legislator will get more tot- hIs school than he does. During the discussion pertiod,. the Senator stated that "democracy, I believe, Is in a trial period now. To day young people are going to have~ to think in broader terms of the country and world.'' Young people must realize that the whole world is interdependent, and the old foun dations on which this country was built must he made applicable to modern day organizations and prob lemw. Hie ended by saying, "Even if some thIngs aren't pleasurable in, this -world, we've got some duties to nerform?' soI1 ,arolina Second larch 15. ina Review * editor of the Carolina Review and I Wise, business manager, was ab.

S. 4 In Making; Op 8y SId Wise If pe'nding plans for Radio Sta tion WUSC are completed, it may be possible to get something hot through the Utniversity heating sys temn besides steam heat. I'm speak ing namely of some hot jazz-- -some thing that will really make the old radiars radiate. This University applied to the In tercollegiate Broadcasting System for a permit to operate station WUSC in December, and the permit wa.s granted. At p)resent, a little ma.tter of funds is holding up plans. The UJni versity of North Carolina, which ap plied for a permit at the same time, has had a station opetating on its. campus rotr over a month. The equipment necessary f'or pitt, ting station WUSC into operation will cost approximately $250. F-or an average of nine cents per stutdent, the University can put its owii radio station, WUJSC, into operation. Trhe station would be a member of the Inteircolleglate Broadcasting System, which now Includes 26 cam pus radio stations throughout the nation. The idea for the station~ on this campus came from an English class under Prof. Macie Quave. Profes sor Quav.e, widely known radio man, has fostered the idea from infancy into a near reality. Perhaps you would like to know something about the technical side. Well, here goes. The campus-radio is a compara tively new ea.-th. cegaa.esade New Class Regulations Now In Effect New class attendance regulations were adopted by the faculty on De cember 5, 1945 and went into effect March 4, 1946. They were first re leased by R. C. Needham, Registrar. in a bulletin issued March 1. Atten tion of students has been called to the change in the official dealing with reports and records of attend ance. Heretofore these have been under the .Dean of the College of Arts and Science but are now han dled by the Registrar. The proce dure briefly, is as follows: 1. Each instructor reports daily to the Registrar all absences occur ring in his sections during that day. These are recorded and filed in the Registrar's office. 2. The registrar will endeavor to notify the student when he has reached the limit of authorized "cuts" in a course. The Registrar will notify the student, the instruc tor and the parent when the stu dent has exceeded the authorized limit of 'cuts" which results in dropping the student from the course involved. 3. The "excuse card" must be filed by the student with the Regis trar's Office by Monday next follow ing the absences. Late filing in volves no fine-the request for ex cuse will be disapproved by the Rgibtrar and the abseiae recorded as "unexcused". The Registrar will return all cards which have been disapproved. The Student will re cord only the classes which he has missed, and he will not be required to obtain the signatures of all of his instructors. The only signature required on excuse card is that of the certifying official. 4. Every student is expected to keep an accurate record of his ab sences. whether or not they have been excused. These regulations will be incor porated in their entirety in the next issue of the University Bulletin. All Veterans! There will he an important meeting of all veterans, Tues day, March 13 In the University chapel, at 7:80 P. M1. . Campus Radi( ,rations May Be, -r'ated, managed and operated on the-campus - wiredl - r'adio net works known nationally and collectively as the Intrcollegiate B,roadcasting system. Campus radio never gets off the college grounds because it is wired from the studio to the listener. The stations are operated much like or dinary br-oadcasters. have studios. transmitters, microphones, etc., and regular business, technical, and pro. gr-am staffs, all students. The c'ampus-radiio programs are not tradiated into space like ordinary broadcasts. They must be sent over wires from the college studio to the listener-. Telephone wires, electric light systems, and heating systems can he used as .,'mnk program cir cults to rePachl dormi ories and col.. lege buildings. Operation is on a non-profit h)a sis. iowever-. "acceptable' spon sored progr-ams can be used to help defray running expenses. Sponsor-ed pr-ograms are generally paid for by the college co-operative stores, tailor shops, laundry, and utilities serv Ing the University. Programs run the gamut of or dinary radio station material and a lot more besides. Classical music, mostly late at night, or during eve ning study periods, is very popular, News, light music, jazz, forums and dIscussions, faculty talks, drama and variety fill the balance of the time. Quizzes are popular, especially student origInated and produced ones. The campus radio idea began in a small way some ten year ag .at. tU0 Veterans Vote For ThreeTerm Scholastic Year Approximately 500 veterans at the University of South Carolina voted almost unanimously Wed nesday In favor of a third term. The vote was 497 to 10. The spe vial meeting was called when it was learned that the state Senate had been told that there were not enouch Rtudents interested in the summer session. At the regular meeting Tuesday, March 5, the veterans adopted the constitution. The constitution pro vides for a general organization of the veterans of the University. The organization was named the "Carolina Veterans." The constitutional committe is composed of Jack Reese, chairman, Bob Stoddard, and N. G. Broadway.

Permanent officers will be elect ed at the next regular meeting, to be held Tuesday, March 12. A student body meeting will be held Monday, March 11, at 10 A. 3.

Two engineering students were fond of communicating with each other between rooms over a wire. They also exchanged music. Other students heard of the sys tem and offered small sums to be linked to the "network." which soon gained such widespread popularity that the bedrooms of the young ex periment ers became jammed with apparatus, and they were obliged to stek more comfortable study rooms in the cellar, so their bedroom ex pierimlent s might continue uandis t urbed.

Should plans for the stat ion be completed and funds made avail able, for WUSC. a stuadio would probably he located in the basement of Davis College. The opetrating cost of the station would be ver-y little. A mInimum amount of elec tricity (from five to 20 watts) would be requited for operation. Such a statIon on the University of S.

The navy released 91 beds this semester and these were used to house incoming civilian met.
