Pep Rally Ha e In Field House LeacHea kN At 6:30 Al UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA CROWING FOR A GREATER CAROLINA Volume XLVI, No. 2 COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA, SEPT. 28, 1951Founded 1908 First Council's Proposal Revealed Student Council has released the following proposal which it pre sented last June to the Board of Trustees. At last Tuesday's meet ing the council discussed the foot ball ticket problem and decided to show the students what it had at tempted to do. "To the Honorable Members of the Athletic Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Univer sity of South Carolina: We, the members of the Student Council, as elected representatives of the student body of the Univer sity of South Carolina, submit this resolution in behalf of the student body, and we humbly and earnestly request that the Athletic Commit tee consider the requests and recommendations herein contained. Whereas the recent plan for the issuance of football tickets ap proved by the Boar dof Trustees increased the price of student date tickets to $21.60-an increase of $9.00-and would require any stu dent desiring to take a date to the game to yield his more advanta geous seat on, or near, the 50-yard line to retire to the end zone; we th4 Student Council, in behalf of the students of the University, in view of the considerable dissatis faction prevalent among the stu dents with the adopted plan, recom mend and request that the commit tee reconsider the adopted plan; and Whereas we the Student Council are aware of the dishonest and undesirable practice of "scalping," and are equally aware of the mag nitude of such practice; and Whereas we believe that the "scalping" problem can be allevi ated by other methods which will be more favorable to the best inter ests of the student body, we recom mend and request that the Athletic Committee of tfie Board of Trus tees consider the following pro posals: 1. That all students and dates be permitted to sit in a student section of the stadium. 2. That this student section be located in approximately the same position in the stadium as in past years. 3. That each student be admitted to football games by a single stu dent activities card with his seat number, based on his class standing (seniors nearest the fifty-yard line), stamped on it. (The ticket office should have class rosters prepared by the machine records office indicating the class standing of each stu dent. This would prevent lower classmnen's obtaining seats in the sections reserved for upperclass men.) 4. That students destring to pur chase season date tickets have two adjoining seat numbers stamped on their student activities cards. (When the student received his activities card, he would make it known whether or not he desired to reserve a seat for a date. If so, the two adjoining seat numbers would then be stamped on the card.) 5. That as many date tickets as possible be allotted to the students. 6. That these date tickets be available at the same price as in the 1950 season-$41.80 for each of five home games and $8.60 for the Clemson game, making a total of $12.60 for a date seat for all six home games.

Those present seemed to be in favor of constructive hazing, which is commonly referred to as "rat ting," but not actual physical or mental cruelty. Freshmen Norman Darlington said, "Hazing in itself is, a good thing as it helps the freshman adjust himself to college ife, if it does not permit bodily njury or harm." The victorious Liberal party de :lared that hazing was a direct violation of the South Carolina state laws, that it decreased school ipirit, that it served no practical purpose, and that it is likely to nflict permanent harm to some me. "School spirit varies inversely 1ith the hazing on a college ampus," I. M. Goldberg, freshmani rom Charleston, stated after de ying the Conservatives to show now hazing increased school spirit. Since the non-radicals failed to show how hazing would improve school spirit, the Liberals won the verbal battle. NOTICE! John A. Chase, dean of ad ministration, has announced a correction on the Calendar of University events. On the fourth page of the Catalog an announce ment reads: October 18-Thurs day 8 A.

He has a more per 3onal, intimate, and compre hensive knowledge of t h e Scandinavian people than any other American. Leach is the author of "Scandi nayia of t h e Scandinavians," "Angevin Britain," and "A Pag eant of Old Scandinavia." For eighteen years, Dr. Leach edited "The Forum and Century Magazine." Under his editorship, the publication increased from two thousand to one hundred thousand. "The Forum" was a periodical on which the public could present op posite points of view and which Carl Sandburg declared to bt- "The barometer of American intelli gence." During this period of edi torship, Dr. Leach crossed the continent several times on lecture trips to universities and public forums. Dr. Leach regards the Scandina vians as our nearest spiritual neighbor5 in their interpretation of democracy and literature. Because of his efforts, the number of Amer ican and Scandinavian students in each other's universities has in creased phenomenally. The first time Dr. Leach visited Sweden he saw signs urging people to join the Anti-Nick Carter Club, an association to keep American literature out of Sweden. At that time the only American literature being sent to Sweden was of the worst pulp magazine type. Since tha time conditions along these lines have improved 100 per cent. largely due to the efforts of Dr. Leach and the American-Scandina vian Foundation. The foundation sent a Harvard professor, Kenneth B. Murdock, to give lectures on American thought. He was so well received that the foundation was asked to establish literature courses in each of nine universities, and now the University of Oslo has established the first permanent chair of American literature in all Europe. In 1945 one of the oldest universities of Europe, Upsala, celebrated its 350th anniversary. Because of the war, the faculty decided to awvard but one honorary degree to a foreigner andl that the recipient should be an American. The American chosen was Henry Goddard Leach. Dr. Leach mod estly asserted that he had not earned this Doctor of Philosophy "Honoris Causa," although he had earned the degree he received from Harvard "Laboris Causa." Today's program is the first in a series of monthly assemblies under the supervision of the assem bly committee headed by Chaplain Lauren Brubaker. Religious Council Favors Support The Carolinia Religious Council took action at its meeting Tuesday to encouriage students to attend Communion services at their re spective churches this Sunday ini observance of World-Wide Com munion Sunday. The Council decided to sponsor monthly religious chapel programs during the 10 o'clock Priday hour again this year.
