47TH YEAR GV LO USA OF PUBLICATION O WEDNESDAY UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA CROWING FOR A GREATER CAROLINA Volume XLVIH, No. 25 COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA, APRILFounded .May Council Condemns Gamecock Complains Of Insufficient Coverage Of Activities By TOM WALKER Gamecock Staff Writer The student council registered in its minutes at Monday's meeting a formal complaint charging the Gamecock with insufficient cover age of council activities. Attacked in particular was news editor Dew James' column of last week in which the columnist suggested that a council member get in on senior class president Joe Ryan's orientation program for freshmen. The member in question had consented to assist in guiding a group of high school students around the campus; afterwards adding that she "didn't know very much about the campus," accord ing to Mr. James' column. Duffie Raises Motion The complaint motion was raised by councilan Virgil Duf fie. Mr. Duffie said that in the past the Gamecock coverage had been very bad, and that the student newspaper had done every thing to "stop, halt, hurt, or hold up student council progress." Mr. Duffie went on to say that in the past he had been called up at all hours of the night to get informa tion, and that he assumed other council members had been called also to answer questions by mem bers of the Gamecock staff. Mr. Duffie attacked particularly Mr. James' column of last week. In the column the columnist sug gested that the council member in question "get in on senior class president Joe Ryan's orientation program for freshman since coun cil members who are elected to represent the campus and the students are normally expected to know something about the cam pus." Councilman Duffie said the article was written to be con strued as a condemnation of stu dent council and added that the campus newspaper and student council had been going in opposite ('irection all semester. Allow James To Speak The council member referred to in the column said that she had been contacted by Mr. James and that she was satisfied with his explanation of the incidlent. Mr. James who was covering the coun cil meeting for the Gamecock with another staff member, requested that he be allowed to speak. Councilman J o h n n y Johnston f raised a point of order saying that Mr. James should not be allowed to sp)eak before the council because he is not an elected council mem ber. Councilman Ted Saleeby moved that the G;amecock newvs editor be heard by the council and the motion passed. Mr. James said that he "had really written himself into a mess," but that he regretted the incident and appreciated the re buke. lie went on to say that he realized he had been totally umn fair to the council member in ques tion, and that he wvould welcome a formal letter to the editor writ ten jointly by the council mem bers if any such letter were to be written, lie explained further that when the council member made the statement that she wasn't acquainted with the campus, he was either talking or listening to someone else, and didn't see who it was, and dlidn't find out until after the paper wvas p)rintedl. lie said that he realized that the memb)er had (lone andl was doing a fine job in council activities. Mr. James said he felt that the news columns of the Gamecock were completely unbiased, and that all opinions were confined to the editorial page, where they rightfuly belong. Da ODK TAPS SIX...

Regular cla NavyToPlay Here Oct. 1 Carolina will play Navy in football here next season instead of in Baltimore as previously released, Athletic Director and head football coach Rex Enright announced yesterday. The game is scheduled Oct. 1. Coach Enright said the Naval Academy agreed to the change in order that the game could be part of the celebration of the university's 150th anniversary. Navy was ranked among the top 10 teams in the nation last season and defeated Mississippi in the Sugar Bowl Jan. 1 in New Orleans. This year's game will be the second between Navy and Caro lina. The Gamecocks last met Navy in 1920 and the Midship men won, 63-0, the highest score ever run up against a Carolina football team. The change in the schedule gives Carolina five home games, two against bowl winners. Duke, scheduled Nov. 12, defeated Nebraska in the Orange Bowl at Miami this year. The schedule: Sept. 17-Wof ford here; 24-Wake Forest at Winston-Salem, N. C. Oct. 1-Navy here; 8-Fur man here; 20--Clemson here (Big Thursday); 29.-Maryland there. Nov. 5-North Carolina at Norfolk, Va. (Oyster Bowl); 12 --Duke here; 19--Virginia there.

Duffie introduced a motion at student council meeting Monday but council votedl to table the mo tion. The editor of the Gamecock approached Duffie after the meet ing and suggestedI that petitions be circulated now so that the stu dent body could get a chance to express their feelings and Duffie agreed. D)uffie said he wished the peti tions to represent a spontaneous exp)ression of the student body's feeling's. 'o Visit Here Wednesday Studlents can register for the time most convenient to them.
