StIe#ntes pay, too Proceeds From Jayvee Game Go For Greater USC Band (Editor's note: The story about the Fort Jackson-Carolina jayvee game on page seven states that students will be ad mitted by showing their athletic cards. That is an error.) An admission of 50 cents will be charged students and soldfers at the Fort Jackson-Carolina Junior varsity foot ball game Saturday night. All proceeds will go to the uni versity band for enlargement and -to help pay expenses of the band in going to the Carolina-Duke game at Durham, N. C. The athletic department is sponsoring the game and turn ing over all proceeds, above expenses, to the band as the department's contribution toward the band improvement program. Besides the game, the evening will feature performances by the South Carolina band, the army band from Fort Jack son and precision drilling by the university naval ROTC crack platoon. Fifth Quarter By KEN BALDWIN DATE TICKETS, Etc. Were you done an injustice when you didn't get one? First, let's examine these facts: (1) Carolina is the only school (insofar as officials here have been able to find out) that sells date tickets. (2) A cross-section of student leaders met with univer- i sity officials last year and decided that one-half the stands i on the Carolina side would be sufficient to seat the student t body. (3) This group council further decided that married students would not have priority over single students in the b purchase of date tickets, and that 1,150 tickets would be ti sold. ti (4) They, also decided that "first come, first served" a would be the policy followed in the sale of tickets. f As far as they are concerned, university officials could E easily have said "No date tickets will be sold, as the stadium h is too small to make such a move feasible." That they didn't show that they have the students' interests at heart and are bending over backwards to help them in their requests. Was half the Carolina stands large enough to seat the b student body? For all except the Clemson game it appeared a to be and for all the games it should have been. But, as we n and others to whom we have talked observed, we would like to pass along this rather facetious observation someone t: made that comes closer to the truth than you might think: 1< "It takes three seats each for at least half the student ii body; one for the student, one for his jug, and one for his s chaser. Or if no jug is in tow, the extra seats are used as h store space for coats, blankets, and portable radios." t That statement may over-emphasize the situation, and t] far be it for us to falsely accuse a fellow student, but some n seats were taken up needlessly; seats that students who d sat on the ground in the end zone would have been happy 0 to get. L Now if you are still hot under the collar because your wife t1 or best girl didn't get to go (you've a right to be because ti of what happened), then look at this. At the Newberry game a 241 date tickets were sold. Three hundred and eight wereb sold for the Maryland game and 351 for the Furman game. The Furman game was Homecoming, the day that usually does attract more non-student guests than any of the others. It would have been logical, judging from these figures, for a officials to have printed only 700 and even that would i be too many. Instead, 1,150 were printed which was the ~ t absolute maximum. By 1 p. m. Monday, they had all been sold, and who got them? At least 500 were obtained by stu- i dents for the sole purpose of re-selling them at a premium. I They sold them, too! Approximately 600 people were turned away at the gate because they didn't have an athletic card to go with the ticket. No student who is smart enough or selfish enough to sell a date ticket for $10 .is going to i sell his athletic card, too.( So to the student who aired his grievances in Jake Pen land's column and to others: the university, Dick Anderson and the student leaders are not to blame as we see it fronm this corner. Rather, the blame should be directed at these: (1) the students who duped not only the public but their fellow stu- 4 dents as well, and are hurting themselves and others by their action, and (2) our small stadium which is why. WE WANT A LARGER STADIUM That the stadium is too small, has been the prize under- a statement of the past two years as far as the present group of matriculates is concerned, and even longer by others. It is indeed a pity that everyone can't sit on the 50-yard line, but since it has lately been the vogue for students to sit orn . the goal line and in the end zone behind a fence, while push- u img the "money" section and the po' professors down farther ' away from the press b.ox 50, the hue and cry is coming from ~ both parties. I But the amazing thing is that the group in a position to accomplish the most is the group that sits on the left side of that 50 yard line fence, namely, our senators and representa tives. Last year the University Board of Trustees passed a resolution calling upon the legislature to grant them the authority to issue self-liquidating bonds in order that they could enlarge the stadium. It passed the House, went to the Senate where the finance committee pigeon-holed it until this year. WHY? It wasn't going to cost them one red cent! Recently the Board of Trustees again called upon the legislature to act on their request. Perhaps they will this time and a lot of people think they had better or someone is going to be sorry come next election.

The cr( Birds Tackle EIurricane At Viami Tonight The University of South Caro na football team has made its )ngest trip of the season to meet be University of Miami at Miami, 'Ia. tonight. Although the Hurricanes have een kept inside for practices by ie recent non-football hurricanes hat swept the Florida coasts, they re considered a one-touchdown avorite over the Gamecocks. :very Miami home game to date as been played on an extremely iuddy field, but weather prophets romise somewhat better condi ions for tonight. The Gamecocks left for Miami y train early Thursday morning nd arrived for a brief Thursday ight workout under the lights. In previous meetings between he schools Carolina has won four, )st two, and two have resulted I ties. The latest Carolina-Miami ame, played in 1945, saw a eavily-favored Miami team forced score late in the game to tie he Gamecocks, 13-13. There has ever been more than one touch own difference in the teams, twol f the games having been decided y an extra point. The Gamecocks will be without ne services of Mitchell Scott, al arnate center, and Max Walker nd Dick Fagan, guard and half ack, are on the doubtful list. Itherwise, the Birds are in good hiape after a short rest following lie Clemson encounter. The Hurricanes received no erious injuries in running up bielr most impressive victory of hie season over George Washing an University, 28.7, last week.
