Forty-first PuIAie#tion SuetBd UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA CROWING FOR A GREATER CAROLINA Veaime XLMI, No. 18 __COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA. FEBRUARY 20. 12AR Co mitte, On Senior For Class Advantages,. Disad, For General Disem The report by the senior suggestions for projects madi been announced. It will be - - meeting, Wednesday, March The comipittee requests 'tt proposals be considered by < suggestions submitted for inv to Lacy Butler, Bob Isbell, Larry Pollard and Vernon Taylor, mem bers of the committee appointed by the class president to present as many facts as possible on each proposal at the clsss meeting. Proposals investigated include: 1. A self-service launderette and drying room for Sims and Wade Hampton to be located in the base ment of Sims when The Gamecock and Garnet and Black move out. Disadvantages to this have been found to be the cost of installa tion of the units. The advantage will be the providing of laundry facilities for the two dormitories. 2., A cetftral hiring committee for the employment of students in positions not requiring special abilities in campus agencies such as the Canteen and Steward's Hall, with employment based on the recommendati6a of the faculty committee on student self-support. The committee found no ap parent disadvantages to this pro posal. Advantage would be given in giving employment to needy students. 3. Music in Steward's Hall to provide better eating atmosnere. This has been attotmpted before and found unsatisfactory, the committee reports. 4. Meal tickets to be on a "punch" basis (or each separate item paid for) instead of on the present monthly basis. Disadvantages to this were found to be the present method assumes that a certain number of meals,- will be missed on each ticket and these are not prepared, permitting the lower priced' meal ticket. On a putich ticket all meals would be eaten, causing the price of the ticket to rise. Also stu dents will not feel compelled to eat regularly with punch meal tickets at Steward's Hall. Advantages to this, the com mtttee reports, will be a choice of food and less wastage. Meals miss ed would not be paid for, leaving the students with meal tickets free for other activities on these dates. The committee wishes to be able' to present both sides of the questions as completely as pos sible for discussion in the class meeting.

Sc Truman Civil Right Fl Program Opposed en In Society Debate [, In a session marked by heated no discussion Tuesday the Euphradian se literary society argued the points in President Truman's civil rights inj program as it pertains to the tel southern states, of; Sol Abranjs, radical party a leader, began the round-table talk m bi upholding 'the view that lynch- w ing should be a federal offense, ati and that persons accused of this y crime should be tried before a o federal court. "Only in this manner can the accused be given a trial free from prejudices, for the jurors would be from a wide area and would not fear local retaliation for their verdicts," Abrams declared. "The states should have police power, in these matters, as set forth in the national constitution, and I will always oppose federal intervention," shouted Ra m 6n Schwartz, conservative member. The argument developed out of a resolution offered at the so ciety's meeting last week calling for the society to back a program of opposition to the so-called Tru man civil rights program. The resolution was presented by Carl toni Owen, but by a vote of the society, was tabled until the meet ing which was held last night. "The society does not mean to imply that It favors lynchings, far from that, but we do express our displeasure at the manner in which state's rights are being neg lected,"' Jack Nettles, president, aid In closing the ma'ating.
