Sufficient interest has been shown to warrant such an organization, a spokesman for the group said. A group of interested students meeting last week discussed the nnRsilitsq of a club that will give voice to men and women on the campus who are concerned with the propagation of the two party system in South Carolina. The close connection of the club to the state party will enable the club to become better informed on politIcal conditinnR, both state and national. State representatives of the na tional Democratic party have been consulted and they offer their sup port and recognition. The club will be recognized as an affiliate of the state Democratic party, who will furnish speakers from time to time along with party litera ture. At the informal meeting last week it was decided that the club would resolve and decide various issues and have them referred to the state organization. The group elected Oren Jones, a law student, to head the club as temporary chairman. Purposes of the group eai be set down only partially at qres. ent. The club will be liberal and as such will work for the liberali zation of the state party and the two-party system, the group spokesman said. The outcome of the national election has demonstrated the strength of and sympathy for the Democratic party, in this and other states, the spokesman added.

No Federal Cases Of Tax Violations Officials at the Federal Bureau of Internal Revenue in Columbia last week squashed rumors that federal agents had taken up stu dent athletic cards at the Carolina Clemson game when a violation of the tax evasion law%s was indi cated. In turning over lists of those who violated the university regu lations to the university authori ties, the BAM club office reported that "federal authorities" did have in their possession "ten or 12" athletic cards taken up at the sta dium and that the owners were subject to prosecution. Possible reason for the misun derstanding was the report by one of the gate officials that a man standing at the gate with several athletic tickets in his hands said that he "was going to bring a case against" the students. It is assumed that this is the same man questioned by the state constabulary after a woman re ported that she had purchased a worthless student ticket from him.
