Our Fate Settled
Our fate is settled. 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.

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.

which expresses the true purpose t a nrgr oQaiiain

The 1950 edition of the Blue Key
student directory will be out at the
end of next week, Bill Seals, editor,
