Each one will deepen his I own commitment to Jesus Christ, t contribute one dollar for Christian I youth work and participate in t program of united action.

Five Semesters Under The Mast Another new regime which should be of great concern to all WILLIAM HAY Why Sell Your Everyone regularly enrolled as an undergraduate at the university is required to pay a Student Ac tivity Fee. A sizable amount of the revenue from this fund is spent in a manner allowing opportunity for the people who pay, their chic of participating in the various activities wvhich the fund subsidizes. Over half of the fifteen dollars paidl per student, eight dollars and a half for this semester, is spent in a manner representing a glaring inconsistency to this policy.

I am concluding five semesters :>f work and play on the staff. Despite many worries and emitted r'pithers which might suggest the contrary, I have enjoyed it. Aside from the selfish reason that I won't be able to afford the time, what with other extra-cur ricular activities, work at the USC News Service and last, but not least, Spanish 31 and 32 to contend with next semester, the experience gained from Gamecock service will be more beneficial to someone who plans to go into active journalism. I hope to enter the legal side of the "fourth estate." This much-denounced- I-suspect editor and columnist was probably more adept in seeing things to criticize than to crow about; but everything he wrote, and I say this with all sincerity, was in the interest of the student body or the university as a whole. Good luck and best wishes to the new staff! Just one parthian remark please --there nowv, you cynics, I've (done it--a whole column and not one criticim Not Tickets? claimed that studIents are forbidden to resell tickets issued to them at registration. Of course, these tickets are bought by the students whether they are wanted or not. Many people find that they are not going to use all of their tickets. Why don't they have the legal right to sell the unused ones? If the pur chase of said items were optional, miatters would be different. We have spoken with two mem bers of the Student Council and a member of the Honor Board. None of them has a definite idea as to what "scalping" actually is. One expressed 110 objection to the sell imr of student ftallticet. to 4s Q) Seeing 2 oub/e By SANDY CRANFORD and MARY EVELYN ROGERS The turn of the year is supposed to be the time when we look back and regret all the things we didn't get around to doing during the past year. Then, when we've finished that we think about all the things we should do during the new year. Resolutions, they are called in the more optimistic circles. Among the things we didn't get around to last year were: studying, getting the colyum in on time, quit smoking, quit eating too much candy, quit loafing, stop walking on the grass, get library books back on time, get to appointments on time, read something besides the sports page and comic page in the newspaper, answer letters promptly, get up in time for class, and getting home early. So, here is a list of resolutions that we think most of our col leagues might have made, probably won't keep, but we're putting them lown anyhow: Stop drinking (cokes). Stop smoking (cigars). Get in early (in the morning). Get up early (in the afternoon). Be nice to people (and dogs). Only take 45-minute naps (in class). Get to class on time (to leave). Read something besides the sports page ("Forever Amber"). Answer letters (next Christmas). Do homework assignments- (the easy ones). Stop telling jokes (clean ones). Steady with one person at a time (on Sundays). Never double d a t e (without another girl). Be prompt (in leaving). Don't borrow clothes (unless they fit). Don't borrow money (unless someone will lend it to you). Don't swear at people (unless you mean it). Write home (when you need money). Keep off the grass (except when taking short cuts). Speak to everybody (if they speak first). Cut down on dates (one a night). Drive carefully (when the cop's on the corner). Don't leave room cluttered up (shove everything under the bed). Stop throwving firecrackers (at the judge). Don't break rules (unless it's convenient). Don't break these resolutions (unless the opportunity occurs). Oh, well. That's enough to keep any college student busy during a year or so. Maybe we'd better leave it at that. Happy New Year! people outside the utniversity. The problem is not a new one. Measures have been taken in the past to solve it. Several years ago, tickets wvere carefully checked at the stadium gates. If the holder of a ticket labeled "student" coukd not prove that he was enrolled at Carolina, his ticket was confis cated, its original owner traced, and said person sent a letter threatening him with dismissal from school. This punishment was not invoked. If the purchase of football tickets remains compulsory, we sincerely feel that their recipients should have the legal right to sell same. The fairest and simplest solution would be to allow all students the chance to buy, voluntarily, the tickets that they want before each game. This would stop most of the howl about scalping, and would, to a large measure, suppress the sell ing at high prices of tickets. It would also allow people to purchase date tickets for individual games instead of having to stand the ex pense of buying twom plete ses JACKIE SOUTHERLAND Thoughts For A Baby '52 The New Year came in, I think. The little babe with draped diapers must have been a hearty soul indeed to have faced the noisy ovation that greeted him at twelve midnight. His older predecessor shud.. dered and cracked up at the cacophony. The newborn year is left without an example. Then bend your ear, my sweet, and I shall tell you the way. Drop in at Panmunjom; listen to the bickering, the subter fuges, and the lies. Peep through the keyhole of the Internal Revenue Department; watch the men with no morals or ethics cheat and deceive their own country and the people who had trusted them. Read the mail of the President of the United States and the newspaper columns dedicated to him; see the disrespect toward a man who is indeed human, but who is faced with the gravest situation ever to hit this world and who is honestly and sincerely trying to figure it out. Visit the guy with the mustache who promises men that they shall- be equal - equally poor, equally downtrodden, and equally spied upon and-punished for independent ideas. Watch a battlefield where a bullet in your head is calculated to change your credo. Listen to the cry for money - the thirst and desire for riches - the insatiable lust for power - the greed for wealth. Wonder what has happened to ideals, to the in tangibles? Observe the unions striking in their power for higher wages, capital raising the prices, the never-ending circle. Ponder upon this thing called money ; reflect upon its uses; hear its cry; feel its need, let it echo in your ears. Money, money, power, wealth, riches .. . Shake your head in bewilderment at the country which fought for high ideals and freedom; notice how it now sup ports the policy which it once gave its blood to defeat - England with Egypt, India; the Netherlands with the Dutch Indonesia. Think about the country which threatened to keep grain from the starving people of India unless that country would pledge its support to ours. Yes, indeed, be confused, for it is confusing. Gaze upon it all, my little New Year. Look at the work that has been accomplished before your arrival. Much has been done; for what end and purpose is not yours to ask; you are only to continue in the blind, stupid, stumbling way of your predecessors. You are young, but you will learn. - They all have.
