At a meeting of the Student Affairn Committee of the Board of Trustees, the problem of a Boar< of Publications ended in a compromise agreeable to all. After a grave discussion on the issue with Board mem bers, students, faculty, and administration present, it wa: stated that the Board of Trustees had not meant censorshii or control by its action and did not want censorship-tha1 the board was devoid of such control. A new board of publications was then set up-eliminatinl all old boards-which will consist of six student members an( five faculty members. Four of the student members will bE chosen from the literary societies, the other two from the student body as a whole. All publications will be placed undei this board. The agreement is not a victory for anyone. It is a ver3 fine compromise which assures the students that the publi cations remain student publications and it co-ordinates th< three publications under one board. The plan will be approved at the next meeting of th< Board of Trustees, to be held this month. To those who helped make it possible, we express oui appreciation. How Much Emphasis? Next week, we enter one of the most important program. of the school year-Religious Emphasis Week. This is th4 time when each of us can attempt to answer some of oui questions-to find a better way to live-a deeper meanin, within ourselves-a few new ideas. To those who already have a religion, we would say attend these meetings, find out what your religion is worth try to discover whether it is a reality or a habit, and, if habit, begin to delve to make it reality. To those who claim no religion--who emb)race atheism we would that you should be even more interested. This i: mainly because you have developed a philosophy which is a odds with the one that religion has set up. Therefore yoi should be interested in hearing the philosophy which si many have followed. The agnostic should need no urging--he does not know As a university student, he is supposed to be on a quest fo: knowledge. The speakers and seminars may help him fin< the answers. Whatever you are, we believe that you can profit b: attending these programs. How much emphasis are yoi giving religion ? We're Small Because . .. If you are now wondering about the size of the pape this week, this is just a word of explanation. No, the staf did not drop dead, neither did the printers go on strike--bu the advertising staff could not work over the holidays an national advertising was very small, making it impossibi to print a regular eight-page paper. The shortened specimen has been published in order tha the students may be able to receive some news for the weel instead of the complete cancellation considered at the firs of the year. A full eight-page issue will be out again next week. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, tended Carolina for a year an It was with a great deal of sur- lived in the tenement which house prise, shock and indignation when the fraternity mentioned. Thi I read your column, "The Price of group of Citadel boys were quit< Things," by Tonm Price. I was naturally backing The Citadel under the impression that the Edi.. The fact is, they had severa torial Board of The Gamecock had "wagers" with members of Caro more discretion than to print such lina fraternity. When The Citade a malicious and untrue article, took the lead I was quite sorry, t4 I happened to be at The Citadel say the least. I feel quite certaii game andl was seated with a group all Carolina studlents were. De of my Brothers. Also in the crowd spite the score of the game, no were several of our Charleston once did I, or any member of m3 friends who are Citadel alums. One fraternity, deride or heckle or 1os4 of these Ciel alu1ms as at. confidenen in our Gameocks. The Price Of Things By TOM PRICE Explanation As a result of our column of two weeks ago criticizing the lack of loyalty displayed by some of our brethren during the latter stages of the recent Carolina-Citadel football game, the president of one of the campus social fraternities has written a letter of protest. He claims that we positively iden tified his fraternity and as a result have injured that organi zation unjustly. After a careful study of the column in question, and learning certain facts concerning the membership of the fraternity in question, we admit that to those who know those facts it would seem that we were referring to that fraternity. For this we are very sorry. We were NOT attacking any fraternity or organization on this campus. We were complaining about the actions of individuals. We made a grievous mistake by using the words "fraternity," and "a certain fraternity house." Every fra ternity on this campus had a right to take offense. To the fraternity that complained and to all fraternities, we apol ogize. We were indiscreet and the result was extremely bad journalism. The fact that disloyalty does exist is a hideous truth. It - was evident to us even during the icy contest at Carolina stadium last Saturday, although most of the fair weather fans stayed indoors where it was warm and left the stadium to the Gamecocks and Demon Deacons and a few thousand hardy faithfuls. Some Good Despite the repercussions and our stupid blunder, we feel that some good was accomplished by the questioned column. Its main purpose was to arouse interest in the pep rally that the Pep Club was sponsoring that night. Anyone who attended that rally is aware of the tremendous success that it had. Don Johnston, Pep Club president and head cheer leader, estimated the crowd at 1,500, and it was the most enthusiastic gathering that we have seen on this campus in over three years, with the possible exception of the annual Big Thursday shirt-tail parade. We repeat, our choice of words was wrong and in ex tremely bad taste. We do not wish to offend or start a feud with any organization. Let us all join together and pull for a GREATER CAROLINA. Gets Around To shift to a lighter and more international subject, that guy Romney Wheeler sure gets around. A couple of months ago he was in Korea. A week before that he was in Tokyo. - Six weeks ago he lectured to the student body here at Caro lina. Last week he was NBC's London correspondent on the early morning world news roundup. Next week, who knows? Don't Forget Don't forget that Religious Emphasis Week begins Mon day. Some of the finest speakers in the nation have been secured and we believe that no matter what faith you profess, you will profit by attending the lectures each morning at 10 o'clock in the Armory. even had enough confidence to wager a little niore money on the pol n aete a vt U.N.C. game, which I also lost,. rt,bttemdesfo rt I cannot sufficiently express mysral ER weestemd re.sentment for this malicious ar-nssfo amadutrhsi ticle.

On the same page (page 2) a owa h nvriysTx is an article titled, "A Better Sit-foJoraim#3(lenry uation," by Miss Betsy Knowvlton,ttld"xornJunaimhs which expresses the true purpose t a nrgr oQaiiain of The Gamecock.
