Paper Mistaken For Publication uyn ia g "rMs The Gamecock in addition to its egular duties of serving as a kews media for campus activities Lnd events has been called upon o disseminate information of vari us kinds. Last July, a letter reached the amecock requesting information bout raising fighting cocks: 'Dear Sir: My brother and I are interested n finding out the possibilities of aising fighting cocks. Although naterial and information concern ng the raising of cocks are very imited, we feel that possibly your nagazine can help us a lot. Would appreciate you lettinig us :now the subscription fee etc of rour magazine 'Gamecock.' Thank you for the time and ef ort we remain, Very truly yours, H. KOCH" Although there is a magazine in he state devoted to raising 'Gamecocks," the campus paper ass yet to give coverage to the election, feeding and training of ighting birds. However, this phase of the poul ry industry is known to be highly pecialized if a sure winner is to 'e developed. Observers of the port which is popular in some ections of the U. S. and some oreign countries do offer limited nformation. They report that raining begins when the birds are 'cry young and continues until the irds are entered in contests. If a bird wins, he is exercised or future events. If he loses, no urther training is necessary. No doubt the letter should be eferred to Clemson since raising rdinary poultry is in the curricu um there, unless the coaching taff here could furnish some in 'ormation as to the selection of heir biddies and in developing heir selection into fighting cocks.

M4 campus The contract between the u WCOS for what was considered university football games this 1 1982 State Law by Circuit Judi 14. Judge Greneker took the cai hearing which lasted nearly six The 1932 statute prohibits state educational institutions charging I for broadcasts of their athletic I events. The law also specifies that at least three stations shall be afforded broadcasting opportuni ties. Judge Greneker's order was in stituted by 12 radio stations in the state against Norman M. Smith, president of the university, the university board of trustees, and Radio Station WCOS regarding a eofitract the university had made with WCOS for football broadcasts this year. Plaintiff . stations contended in their complaint that the contract violated the 1982 statute and in effect, kept them from entering the stadium to broadcast. The university claimed it was not selling broadcasting privileges, but that it only was renting its new stadium broadcasting facili ties. WCOS was the only bidder for the facilities although four Columbia stations were asked to bid. Also the university said the contract provided for WCOS to offer its broadcast to at least one station in each city or town in the i state where one or more station operates. Judge Greneker did not make permanent an injunction against the contract, although he said, "i is clear to me, an injunction should be granted on possible further court action." His order prohibited the univer sity from granting exclusive sports broadcasting privileges to any one station. The university was directed to extend to at least three stations the privilege of broadcasting full play-by-play accounts "and no iharge shall be made to such broadcasting companies for such .privileges." Judge Greneker added, however, that "it may be that the univer sity can make a charge for the use of its broadcasting facilities but it cannot make the right to broadcast play-by-play accounts of the games contingent upon the rental . . . of the facilities." .His order commented further that President Smith's July re quest to the four radio stations In Columbia for bids on the use of its facilities did not in reality "extend the broadcast privileges to three companies but requested one of the four addressed stations to bid highest and shut out the others," Greneker said. "If a big juicy watermelon is to be divided among three persons, I It seems that the cutting should be done so each should have a part I of the heart," he commented. Un der no condition shall the univer sity make it impossible for at )ntroversy Ullification With WCOS CARTRA Bditor niyersity and Radio Station exclusive local broadcasts of all waa held in violation of a re T. B. Greneker September ;e under advisement after a hours September 10. east three stations to broadcast ;hrough their own announcer a play-by-play account of the game. When informed of the decision, President Smith issued the follow :ng statement: If the order of tue court is made permanent, the university will ,arry out such order to permit hree broadeasting companies to roadcast the football games from he stadium and will permit a full play-by-play account concurrent with,the play. "There will be no charge made !or the privilege of broadcasting. [I the selected broadcasting com )anies wish to use the university's accommodat'rs, facilities and per ionnel, a rusonable- charge for 'hese sevices will be made." Campus Discussion Groups To Operate In Competition Y sponsored campus discussion groups will be run on a competi ive basis this year with a banquet awaiting the winning dormitory and students with perfect attend ance recorda. Competition will be based on at .endance. Five points will be given !or each new member and one point !or each visitor, but the winning otal will dApend on the number >f new meibers possible for each croup to ge. For example, Prestoif with its creat number of students would lave a larger group to draw from han one of the tenements. There Fore, Preston must get a larger percentage of its prospective mem bers than any other group to win. For the last two meatings, the eighth and ninth, no points will be given for members. This is to prevent any group packing in members with only two meetings to attend. Each discussion group may :hoose its own leader. University professors, graduate students or members maay serve. Time for the discussions has been set at 7 p. m. each Tuesday. Material for the discussions will be supplied to the group leader by bhe YMCA. Bert Bowers Is chair nan of th* entire project. BAY..
