New Regist Part of the distastefulness of registration will be done away with by next registration day if plans announced by the Registrar's office are put into effect. According to thele plans IBM machines will be used for registration, thus ending the messy, monotonous business of filling out half a dozen cards with the identical .information for nearly every department on' the campus. Letters Pol The Gamecock has made it a policy in the past to withhold the names of letter writers upon the request of the writer. Recently an influx of letters degrading and defending the Carolina co-ed has occu pied much of the space in the letters column each week. Most of these letters, all begun by a disgruntled male student known as "disgusted," have been printed under as sumed names. Because of the unusual charges and coun ter-charges in the letters and because of the extraordinary number of letters on the subject, we are being forced to modify our letters policy. Henceforth, all letters will be printed with the author's name if they deal with such subjects as those recently printed about Letters to the Editor: Replies to Clemi Dear Editor: neck out further, In last week's Gamecock, I read the standpoint of with much interest William Clem- apparent that the mons' letter condemning your edi- is not very learn torial published on November 6 putting over a t in regard to Religious Emphasis do not attempt t Week.

This would be duplicated by the ma chines for each of the departments requiring these cards, i.e. the post office, alumni asso ciation, "L," etc. Also included in the new plan is an identi fication card for each student as suggested by a columnist in the November 13 issue of the Gamecock. icy Altered co-eds. The request for anonymity will be granted only at the discretion of the editor. In all cases all letters must be signed. A very interesting letter is now being held by the editor concerning the dispute over co-eds but it has not been signed. Should the author want it published he may identify the letter and it will be published anony mously since the controversy has gone so far under pseudonyms. We still welcome letters and will give all requests for the withholding of the writer's name due consideration, but letters delib erately attacking a person or group on plainly personal animosity will be printed only if the author has the courage to place his name under it.-RNG nons and Coeds )y saying: "From my opinion, using religion to cram journalism, it is a few feathers in his own cap.

This is human dignity, one of the i- most treasured gifts of mankind. s In providing them with separ n ate and equal facilities we are, in effect, telling them that we believe e them inferior to us, and the per I- manent separate facilities we are constructing attest to the fact that e we believe they will be inferior to e us eternally. We are appropriating huge sums o of money to build and support two n separate and equal school systems in a state whose educational standard is still among the lowest in the nation. We should be con I centrating all our financial and !t other efforts to building one truly fine school system for the children of the state. n We are blind in believing that t e can isolate one race of people ot from the rest' of mankind. Like you and every other man these people feel a longing for the ,t knowledge that they have complete r freedom. Even if they do not use h it to its full advantage. Like you they want to feel that when they go to a concert they can select 1any seat in the house which suits d them. Like your parents they v want their children to have every opportunity and( considlerat ion in life. Above all they are humans just v like you. They too are creations 'of God.

O "Let's find an out-of-the-way spot for the game," Sir Newton suggested. "We don't want to be continually inter rupted by passers-by nor do we want to take the chance of hitting one of them." "Very well," answered Risrube, always taciturn. The pair strolled about the courtyard, seeking a secluded spot in which they could begin their game. Finally Sir Newton spied an alcove between the stockade and the north wall. "Aha," he said. "There's the ideal spot. Nobody evA comes back there." The two began to bounce the ball off the wall and returning it in preparation to beginning the match. "You know, Sir Newton, this will be good exercise for you after such a long time in bed with your illness," Risrube said. The practice quickened in its pace and the two were just about ready for the initial serve when a member of the palace guard came riding by and stopped as he saw the two up in the cranny. He turned his horse into the lane, rode up to the two players, dismounted and addressed Sir Newton. "What are you doing here ?" he asked. "We're planting pecan trees," Sir Newton snorted. The guard started. He snarled at Sir Newton, "Don't be funny with me. Don't you know you can't play handball in this courtyard ?" "Why not ?" the knight asked. "Because it's agaiiist the rules," the guard answered. "Why -is it against the rules?" Risrube queried. "That's not important. Just give me the ball." "Oh well," Sir Newton grunted. "We'll quit." With these words he and Risrube turned to walk away but the guard bellowed after them. "Wait a minute, I said give me the ball." No amount of arguing could save the ball because the guard was insistent and the two men were reluctant to have any more argument. About that time around the corner of the stockade one of the outlaws from the nearby village was robbing one of the noblemen. He hit the nobleman several times with the rope-covered pole which he used for a weapon. The nobleman fell into the alley-way entrance. The guard looked, made an unpleasant face and ordered Sir Newton and Risrube to follow him to the palace guard's main barracks. As they passedl down the heavily traveled path of the courtyard the guard spied a horse tied behilnd one of the corners5 of the castle wall, lie went over to the horse, attached one of the scrolls usedl to tag offenders of the horse tying rule that prevented leaving one of the equestrians any where but in the stable area. While he was attaching the scroll to the saddle, another horse came galloping by and struck a child, which fell down unconscious. T.he horse sped away. The guard murmured, "Ugh, that's a bad thing." He then turnedl to the two culprits and ordlered them to proceed to the guard's office. "I'll teach you to play handball in the courtyard," he said. After the two had been made to sit for several houiN while the chief guard pounded away on the communications dIrums they were allowed to return to their rooms with this stern admonition ringing'in their ears: "D)on't let me catch you in here again for playing hand ball in the courtyard or you won't get your ball back next time. I dIon't know what we'll (10 with you unruly citizens of Socar. You seem to alwvays be in some sort of trouble. I intend to stop it, anyway. I intendl to (clean up this court yard. Do you understand me ?" "Yes sir," the two answeredl meekly, turning to leave. coe4ialec4pni SEVER THE C'ORD)S Stnigaoti Vhntor In an ef fort to eliminate diS ur,h elze ewa vr crimination, the State Universityain 80etsnhorp. of New York has ordered u~ andin fraternities andl sororities to break TW FONIA(F their national co(nncCtions or dis- elbaenainlnesae band.wekth raueDiyOae TIie measure affects 25 nation-ptoutwfrnpae-drn ally affiliated groups at the uni-thmbhindeheper versity's two medical schools and OewsatpclAeia at the nine teachers colleges.
