Old Staff Sings Swan Song As New Editors Take Over With this January 16 issue of The Gami cock, the fall staff sings its swan song, ar retires. Nex, week the new editorsl take ov the reins, and their thankless task begin During the past semester The Gamecoc has tried to maintain a middle-of-the-roa policy, interested not in accusations or ce sure, but only in bringing to the studen of 'Carolina a fully complete coverage campus and administrative news, and a fa and authoritative interpretation of thl news. At the beginning of our term, slowir The Gamecock stride down to once-a-wee regularity, we wondered how such a moN would be met after last year's bi-week under the Wickenberg-Shoun regime he become the first in the state. We can no see that it was for the best, but we do hol that in future Carolina days, The Gaineco< mity crow oftener and joider. And it will Through the semester we have commen ed on things needing comment and deman, ing attention; we have refused to "blo our top" about every little item just throw sensational headlines at the studei body, or create wide student appeal, wheth4 good or bad. We have worked for a bett< Carolina, rather than a louder Gamecock And now we rest! To those students and faculty , membei from whom we received letters, many< which we were unable to print, we owe debt of gratitude for your interest and hel To those students on our staff who has helped us with postman-like regularity putting out our publication, we exprel many thanks.

Carolina Watches Capitol For Actions Of Assembly This past Tuesday the 87th South Caro lina General Assembly convened, and al university eyes turned to the capitol Whether President Smith's request for ai tt additional $1,000,000 appropriation for th, is ty purchase of land for university expansioi ie will be approved remains to be seen. However, another measure, far more im e portant in many respects, is high up on th< es assembly calendar: the council of highe s; education or Board of Regents Bill. Now i1 1g the Senate Education Committee, this bil is scheduled to tome up soon for approval r- And between committee rangling and opei e- floor debates, it still has a long way to gc - But, at least, it's on its way. For years political scientists have advo cated centralized government and purchas h ing as the most effective means, both ad 11 ministratively and economically, of runninj r- a city, county or state. South Carolina ha little of either, and the Board of Regent M Bill is a step toward both. M Introduced into the House at the last leg is islative session by Representatives Pope ani Sims, the bill is designed to raise the stand n ards of state-operated schools and preven I duplication of curricula by incorporatinj k under one central board all of the stat no schools, namely Carolina, Clemson, Win c. throp, The Citadel, State A. and M., ani rs. the Medical College. Oy k In its proposed form the board will con e. sist of 13 members. Six will be elected b iki the present boards of trustees of state - maintained colleges, each board electing on of i ts own members. The other seven wil be named by the governor with, of cours( Senate confirmation. This board will have charge of delegatinj id to each school its primary functions, means, in time, of separating such school as engineering, liberal arts, pharmacy, etc k by placing all of the appropriate facilitie d in one institution, and thus eliminate dupli 1i- cation of equipment and expenditures, whic) s is now very prevalent in this state. )f In addition, the asqembly will make a] Lr appropriations for its schools in a lump sun Lt to the board for allocation to the differen schools according to need. Then, no more 1g perhaps, will Carolina have to be i.aLchei k dollar for dollar with land-rich Clemson fo: re additional money. L Centralized purchasing, another featur d the bill will introduce to state schools, wil w enable one agency to buy all of the suppliei >e for our six institutions, and the saving wil :k be well worth it. All in all, Carolina and the entire stat< t- will benefit greatly by such a board. It i: - a long step forward for our backward edu cational system, and its worth, in years t< o come, will be pronounced. it OD1K Workinig 0on Council To Obtain Better Sidewalks Following a great deal of student com 's ment concerning the poor sidewalks aroun< f the campus, ODK leadership fraternity ha: a initiated a move to secure from the city ade p. quate paving, both of the walks now in ba< e shape and also those not paved at all, par n ticularly Pendleton and College streets be s tween Main and Sumter. I- This is a sore spot on the university cam o0 pus, and success here will certainly requiri work as well as leadership. The city o: fr. Columbia in the past hasn't been too frei 0 with its spending, but out of the $65,00( tr appropriated for street and sidewalk pavini f in the near future some should be availabl a- for Carolina's benefit. e Columbia merchants can attest to th< value of Carolina students to the city. W< e wonder if city council has any knowledg< Lr of simple business? If so, ODK will b< ;- successful. tion Announeents >e Rev. J.' 0.

PILLOW To POST Laddles and lassies, as the disgruntled little Scottie said as he skipped out of the tobacco patch, "Have your cigar. ettes been tasting different lately?" Which reminds us Of that story of a blend of dashing romance and shivarlry that is really good material. So we give you that old fashioned Scotch fantasy (make mine with sodal entitled: "Rapiers and Auld Plaid" or "Who Kilt Cock Robin?" Cast: Roderick Dhu McArden-a young Scottish nobleman who was an outstanding rapierist. Ellen McGlowan--,a sassy lassy with a classy chassis. Mac McCoy McArden-who died exactly two hundred years before the story starts. He was caught with his kilt up by McGlowan and lost his hehd (touche!) but managed to strike a mortal blow before expiring. MacMartin McGlewan-who died one hundred ninety-nine years, three hundred sixty-four days, twenty-three hours, and fifty-nine minutes before our tale's inception. He and McArden died in a private fracus over which one put the ginger ale in the Scotch. George David McSob McGlowan-an ill-bred young man and an ardent suitor for the hand of Ellen. He is known by his initials. McCampbell-a wily old outlaw. McAdoo, McGregor, McAllister, Pierre McNusbaum, Philippe de Bourbon (how did he get in here!), Donald Bane, Pat McO'Reilly, Mae West, and Errol Flynn-spectators who don't have a thing to do with the story. Setting: Umpteenth century Scotland. The McArdens and the McGlowans had beqn feuding in termittently for two hundred years when young Rod Mc Arden decided to come back to his family castle after a ten year stay in England. He was riding horseback across the California desert when along came a prairie schooner going his way so he dived aboard. Ngarby was a beautiful young lady and before Roderick knew what he was doing, he kissed her where she stood. "But I don't even know your name!" she gasped, "Tell me quick!" teeing that she wore the colors of the McGlowan clan, his mortal enemies, McArden quickly mumbled the first name that came into his mind, "Vladimir Alexandrovitch. McPetroffskovitchskyoffsky, Jr. You must be Ellen Me Glowan." "Bairn, brae auld lang syne loch lomond," she agreed and iwith that they got on famously, but after a while young Rod began to get figidity. The coach was nearing McGlowan ,Castle, the stronghold of his enemies. Finally his discom posure became apparent to Ellen, "What's wrong? Got ants in your kilts ?" she quipped. To which McArden replied as he put his arms around her, "I just washed my hands and can't do a thing with them." "Get a strong grip on yourself," she admonished. "We're approaching my home and I don't want to make obscene in front of my family. Besides, my fiancee cousin, G. D. McSoi McGlowaA, will be there. We McGlowans always marry Mo' Glowans McGlowans McGlowans kill banks kilts sword dance bloop bleep." Roderick's apprehension got the best of him however, and he jumped off the coach with the parting remark, "I don't Wa~nt to pry into a family affair. Meet me at the kirk two nights hence."~ Ellen assented with a nod. McArden, feeling' a bit worfl from his narrow escape, dropped into an inn by a brook for a toddy. About that time an old smuggler riding a black and white horse splashed across the sparkling water with a vaY of sixty-nine kings' treasures worth a king's ransom. * To announce his approach he was merrily singing, "MI~ Campbell's a'coming, McCampbell's a'coming." He came 0t into the inn and confessed, "I feel soda bad today blit le there be no moaning at the bar!" This was all superfluo because it was apparent by the pinched look about his f that he was ill, but he bottled up his troubles fairly well. The hostel was graced by one old crone and eventual~ the revelers got around to asking her to have a drink. "Shut up!" the old bag piped. Hurt, Roderick went home and was reunited with h110 family. The celebration (thistle kill you) was immense a they plaid together and danced the clan-clan til the W sma' hours of the morning. Two nights later Roderick set out to keep his date at t kirk with Ellen. (If at first you don't succeed, tryst.) S enough, Ellen was there and he locked his arms aro her and murmured, "Let me kiss you moor." "Oh, Roderick Dhu I" she protested, but he misunid standing, did. - "Ellen, thy beauty Is to me", and proceeded to recite poem later plagiarized by one E. A. Poe. She cooed back understandingly, "Moo goo gol pen cort carne antipasto pate de fol gras coming through rye." "Come, come," he said Impatiently, "say it In Scotch' love to hear your brogue." So she gathered all her resou and proclaimed brou.hly, "B....r........I"
