Gamecock On Discip The 12-member Faculty Council decided last week to allow the Discipline Committee to release results to The Gamecock if, in the opinion of the committee, it would serve the university a purpose. The committee, however, is under no obli gation to furnish its results voluntarily or to confirm or deny reports received from other sources by The Gamecock. Discipline Committee Chairman Coleman Karesh said, "It is up to The Gamecock to formulate a policy concerning cases about which the Discipline Committee refuses to divulge any information." He added that any information except that given by the Dis cipline Committee would be unofficial and would have to be treated as such. Section i of Article III of the Student Honor Board's constitution provides for a written notice of the outcome of the trial with no names mentioned to be sent to The Gamecock for publication. The Gamecock has always printed action taken by the Honor Board when students are tried for breaking the honor code. It does so in the belief that it is respon sible to the student body for reporting news Support Bl There are few ways that the students of Carolina can show a finer spirit or aid a more worthy cause than by donating blood. Beginning next week, Blue Key honor fraternity will attempt something unique in donor drives. In the past, the Red Cross has brought its bloodmobile to campus for concerted drives of one or two days and almost invariably the university falls below its quota. The way the situation now stands, the local Red Cross chapter no longer has any defense commitments. This means blood do nated today would not be usable after two or three weeks, even with refrigeration. And for certain operations, the blood must not be over a few days old. Therefore, Blue Key plans to have weekly visits by student groups to the Red Cross center on Devine St. Drive chairman Don Miller is attempting to work up competition among groups such as fraternities, sorori ties, independent social organizations, and eventually interunit competition among the ROTC groups. Blue Key will furnish transportation for donors on Tuesday evenings and Friday afternoons for all who wish to donate and is attempting to secure small gifts for each donor such as theater passes. The group has also arranged a special charity dance for donors only which will be given without cost by a leading Columbia 14-piece band. The dance will be held at the end of the drive which is scheduled for two months and will be climaxed by a visit to campus by the bloodmobile. Plans are being made to set up registra tion stations for donors. Details of these plans can be found in the news section of The Gamecock. The interfraternity council was the first group approached by Chairman Miller (a 19 pint donor himself, incidentally, and Colum bia's youngest two-gallon donor), and they agreed to award a trophy to the fraternity with the highest percentage of participa tion. Blue Key is responsible for setting up rules and regulations and with keeping re sults which will be posted regularly in The Gamecock. The fraternity men have shown their wil lingness to participate and now it is up to the independents to join the dlonor parade.

T. E. Brown, Bob Cameron, Pat Sets Policy line Cases so long as its reporting is accurate and the news is of public interest. Names of students involved are withheld. The Gamecock also feels that publishing the charge on which the student is found guilty with a brief account of the offense and the penalty imposed by either Honor Council or the Discipline Committee may serve as a deterrent to other students and will certainly put an end to a lot of idle gossip and rumor. As long as the university enforces discipli nary violations effectively and with justice there is no shame in announcing such action. If The Gamecock in the future hears of action taken by the Discipline Committee and can get information from sources which it considers reliable, it will print the story without the Committee's official sanction if necessary. We feel that the students have a right to this information and that it is our responsi bility to report the news-completely and accurately. We admire and respect the ability of Pro fessor Karesh but do not relinquish the right to disagree with his committee on news val ues and ethics.-J. B. lood Drive Because of practice, members of the foot ball team are seldom able to donate when the bloodmobile makes its visit each fall. But the end of spring practice will come right in the middle of this new donor season and we can't think of a better way of show ing a true Carolina spirit (something that hasn't been too apparent the last few years) than to have this most virile group of the student body march en masse and donate. In fact, donation of a pint of blood might be a worthy substitute for some of the less benevolent Block C Club initiation practices. And then there're the coeds. We have heard it argued that coeds will give quicker than male students because they are less afraid and also the exact opposite, usually ex pressed in more forceful terms. Some fresh man English student might be able to write a very interesting term paper on this point if a complete set of statistics can be kept for the program. And what is it like to give blood? We hate to sound trite, but it is actually an inspiring experience. Ask almost any gal lon club member why he gives and he'll tell you it's because it makes him feel good. It makes you feel proud to know that little insignificant you have given your time (and blood) to a life-saving cause. That you might actually be responsible for saving another being's life ! -The practical-minded might wonder just what this will mean to them. Suppose they dlonate now and then run shy themselves in six months or so? Each dlonor receives protection for him self and family (all relatives by blood or marriage residing in the household plus par ents or parents-in-law over 60 years of age residing separately) to receive blood as needed for a period of one year. These Red Cross certificates can also be given to friends and old people outside the immedliate family who may not be eligible to dlonate blood. This provides for full benefit if the dlonor gives several times before his original certificate expires. Not only can this drive do a great service and give protection to the people of this area, but it (can serve as a unifying force of the student body and make a tangible thing of ''Carolina spirit.'' Enthusiasm can make this dIrive go.-J. B. QUZOTE OF THlE WEEK -"A censored student news paper wvould be wvorse than no INA Is as the fist dents of the/ e not seas eautitmte am ACK BASS McCLUNG J.

The word itself is of Eng lish origin and has been doing drudgery in laboring for poli ticians, statesmen and the press since that time. Under an educational microscope we find that the word can be broken down easily enough and that getting a sensible mean ing takes very little adjust ment of the lens. The con struction of this word infers a status quo of the parties involved, presently Russia and the free world. Aside from our educational perspective, however, we must look more closely at the word because it is a prism. It has many sides and many shadows which, when interpreted, can tell the story of an era and reflect light to all corners of the globe. To the French it is a bro mide that gives hope for a quiet world. French politics are in an uneasy state at pres ent and the Frenchman is more concerned with the revolving heads of his government than in world affairs. In England it is comparable to a mail order gadget which prom ises to do everything around the house and then sits on a closet shelf for years.

But the real issues are still to be dealt with and the world's arsenals still have to be kept filled while statesmen coin these phrases. Americans don't really know what to make of such words as coexistence. They are foreign to us and we have always been disturbed with anything which can compromise our national security so readily.

The Lander College student news paper, "The Rednal," announces that she has been named "Miss Valentine" of 1955. Miss Steven son, alias Miss Universe, Miss United States and various other misses, was selected by the Alpha Kappa fraternity at the University of North Carolina, which shouldn't have been too hard a job. Even those northern boys recognize beauty when it comes in such a neat package. * * * Miriam brings to mind another subject, "What Makes Men Fall in Love," and that renowned magazine for men, "Esquire," has it all figured out in its latest issue. It's neither sex nor senti mentalism that steps up the pulse count of the male. The psychiatrists say men fall in love because they are "suffering from internal discontent, feelings of guilt and anxiety." (Being in love is suffering???) According to "Esquire" it works this way: Man is ruled by three conflicting forces; "a subconscious image of the man he thinks he ought to be," a guilt complex that he is not measuring up to what he should and the ego (the man he thinks he is). The final ingredient necessary for a guy to fall in love is a gal (always thought that should be the first). She makes him think he's the guy he thinks he would like to be. So say the BILLY MELLETTE How To Wi In writing poetry, the first requirement is to know a lot of big words to impress the reader and make him wish he under stood it and to make the doctors degree getters write a treatise about what you really mean when you didn't know you meant it at all. For instance, a simple beginner is about school, the thing we see most of around campuses: IHistory eleven is the study of history, ancient, A thing for which I have no penchant. Obviously, the usual 99 will have to consult the dictionary; that's what makes poetry-read ing fun. Another thing to watch for in poetry is that everything should have a dlouble meaning.

WHO HAS THE SAY? Of late, reporters (including this Xv one) find sources who will talk and who will not pass the buck a bit scarce. Even in ordinary matters there has to be that stamp of approval from the higherups. Cops have to have permisipm to have their picture taken; firmary personnel, including i head man, don't trust us (the word epidemic drives them fran tic); and almost every utterance depends on what the folks - stairs have to say. This is J. It is more akin to the Soviet way than the American way.

Therefore, these non-cooperative sources have no reason to with hold facts unless they are hiding something. And if they are hiding something, it's high time they got uncovered. * * * Gamecock columnist Pat Treacy got a letter the other (lay.

Another rule is to never write a poem that is not intellectual or dramatic. Also, something important should be revealed by the title of the thing.

Sometimes, during the course of an epic poem, there comes a time when the scene must shift from the hero to another scene or from another scene back to the hero or from scene one to scene two or into cinemascope.
