Caeteri Are To After eating in the Russell House cafe teria for about two weeks, we want to know this: Who's pocketing the profits? Although we've been informed that the cafeteria operates on a non-profit seeking basis, and that the Slater System is paid a set fee for the service it provides, rather than a per cent as it received in the past, we gather from our daily food bill that someone is making a profit. Occasionally we don't mind paying top prices when the food is top rate, but so far we haven't felt that we've been receiving the quality food we've paid for. A system as large as Slater with the buying power they undoubtably must have, ought to be able to provide attractive and palatable food at a more reasonable price. The prices as listed on the master menu each day look deceivingly inexpensive. But they forgot to mention that three slices of green tomato on lettuce garnished with parsley which nobody eats anyw~ay, will set one back a tidy sum of 15 cents. And so it is with most of the salads, making them cost two or three cents more than are found down town. Desserts follow the same trend, with about the same difference in cost. With three cafeterias in town, as well as numerous restaurants, it's obvious that the school cafeteria has to meet sharp competi tion. Too, if one wants to take the trouble to travel the distance to one of the town eating places, and most of them aren't too far to reach by walking he may. find quicker service, someone to carry his tray, and all Lost-On 50 Yard1ii Where did the good football tickets go? After over a week of hearing people talk about getting "good" football tickets, fresh men sitting on the 50-yard line and so on, we got a look at the tickets belonging to a per son who got "first" tickets. They weren't on the 50-yard line, which is sections eight and nine, but in section 10, which is 40 and worse. Who's got the 50-yard line tickets?

One of the virtues of Carolina is that no student is required to eat at school if he doesn't want to. He doesn't even have to eat, but it ha? become a habit with most students. Therefore, the student with the "habit" is going to look for the most con venient place with the most reasonably priced menu, for most of us aren't millionnaires, and pennies make dollars, etc. Housed in a rent-free, tax-free plant, the Russell House cafeteria is operated by the Slater System, an organization which oper ates similar establishments in a large num ber of schools, colleges and Industries. This fact, coupled with the fact that food bought in large quantities is cheaper than that bought in small guantities, should mean that overhead expenses in the school cafeteria should be considerably less than those of a privately owned establishment. With more people eating In the cafeteria during winter school than were served dur ing summer school, we can't understand why prices were upped shortly after the start of the fall term. Certainly the cafeteria has an advantage. It's right in the center of things at school and therefore easily accessible for those who are lazy or in a hurry. But even if 1,500 were served during a single meal, we wonder how many people will continue to pay high prices for uninteresting food after the novelty of the new cafeteria has worn off. After all, that big cafeteria would look right silly sitting down there if nobody was eating in it.-CM. D Section me Tickets Although football has become Big Bus iness in a big way, it is still students who play the game and students who go to see the game played. Except for some fanatic fans, students are the ones that will be on hand to see all the home games played. In our estimation, students should be given first consideration concerning tickets, alumni second, and people third.

And if the Sumter to Bull block of Green was closed off there would be even more of a parking problem. Therefore there are two prob lems in one that will have to be worked out together. In view of this, one thing that could be done would be to widen Green Street between Sumter and Pickens Streets and allow angular parking such as that seen on College Street. In this way there would be more parking space and less traffic. There would be less, traffic because students wouldn't be circling the block trying to find a parking space as often as is the case now. There is plenty of room on Green Street to widen the street by about five feet on both sides. Another thing that could pos sibly help this combination prob lem would be to put a light up in front of the Russell House that would work only at certain times when the foot traffic would be heaviest coming across from between Preston and Burney Colleges, for example, for two hours between twelve noon and two o'clock. The light could be wo-ked for two hours electrically or by police. . In that way there would be a partial solution to both problems. There would be more parking space, less traffic and, therefore, less chance of a friend getting injured by a pass ing car during the time of day when most students are crossing the street. tor Team ~amecock in spite of insufficient funds, many students knew very little or nothing about the team until ie Gamecock started its series of articles about the team.

Nancy Wallace "And your next assignment will Carolina-Clemson game." HERBERT BRYANT Traffic, Get Out A current problem around the Carolina Community isn't a new one. It is getting old. The traf fic and parking situation is in dire need of attention. As more of the campus moves across Green Street naturally there are more students cross ing the street to get to the Rus sell House and the Jraternity houses. In addition, with the n e w Business Administration building opening, there is a large number of students crossing Green going to class in that new building. As the number of stu dent crossings increase there is greater chance of some of them getting injured. If that were to happen something would prob ably be done about the street crossing situation. B u t that might be too late for a friend. About the only thing that could be done to completely eliminate this particular problem would be to close off Green Street from Bull to Sumter Street. But that would cause another problem - where to park the cars that Green Street, on that block, accommodates. One park ing sQlution project that is being worked on now is the clearing of the vacant square block next to the fraternity houses. That lot should accommodate approxi mately 150 cars if they are parked properly. But if the stu dent enrollment continues to in crease as it did this year by 18 per cent-which is desirable this square block will only be a drop in the bucket toward help Letters to the Edi Debath Thanks ( Dear Editor: We should like to extend our deepest appreciation for the fine publicity you gave the USC De bate Team last year.

" " TIPS TO FRESHMEN: Since this is official Rat Week and since we have spent quite a bit of time roving around the Caro lina campus and since we have further added to our store of knowledge of Carolina lore simply by knowing a seven-year career man, we feel qualified to offer the following gems of wisdom to rat-cappers: 1. Attend at least one meeting of student council. Admission is free and the floor show is terrific. 2. If you have any intentions of being a politician, you must learn to smile and at the same time melt out that famous greet ing of the governing set, "Hi, how y'all?" Learning first names and the proper hand-shaking technique are also of prime im portance. 8. Before arranging y o u r classes (this is too late now but you can take note of it for next semester, in the event you're still PAT TREACY Abstract Are Coin Whenever the daily scene hits a slump, there is nothing more comfortable to fall back on than a few abstractions. The word ab stract may seem like a funny word to put into words, but if you think about the drunk who puts his imaginary dog on the bar and buys him a drink, you begin to get the idea. Jimmy Stewart did this sort of thing in "Harvey." Now there is an odd class of people called philosophers who use Harvey as a stock in trade. They take fantasies of imagina tion and instead of buying them drinks, they write books about them. One of the bright young boys of this clique is John Dewey. Mr. Dewey is a word merchant from the word go, but lacks the humor and sophistica tion of Thornton Wilder's "Top per." Dewey takes his little bundle of unpaintable charms and goes off on a big kick which uses the academic world as an echo cham ber. We all feel the effects of the bull-moose of modern edu cation. The Vermont school teacher has started a chain of events which can be seen in our own school of education. I'd say that the idea of drawing on a blackboard to the rhythm of mu sic is an offspring of the mental bacteria of Dewey. The world of modern education is broken up into two groups. One is the pre-scientific age, or the classical pieriod; and the other is the modern age of scientific experiment. These conclusions are supposed to be highly signifi cant because first of all, the price of beer has gone up, and sec ondly we are living in an uin limited universe.

It seems to me that from the earliest hours of my brain-wash ing that those In the tutoring profession have been trying to destroy a perfectly good English verb. Poor defenseless "ain't," which has long enjoyed popularity with the vulgar and commonly sensible class, still survives de spite many bloody encounters. It has been uttered by some members of the grammar monop oly who controls the manufac ture of grammar books that ain't ain't proper because it ain't a contraction of anything. Well, if it ain't right it's because this bunch has been spelling it wrong for all these years. The proper spelling should be AINT. A verb doesn't have to be a contraction of anything. So ends our lecture in grammar for today... . Thoughts nforting Most of this business isn't very important as you can see. No worth while student bothers to let the gremlins of the academic world ruin his mental outlook. Usually it is the professors who wrestle with these phantoms in their nightmares. And this is as it should be because after all if they don't who will, and they are paid to do such things. My personal opinion is that they are all fine fellows, and the next time that I meet one at a bar I'm going to buy him a drink whether he's there or not. * * * The football ticket situation is still about to get under way.

The fellow who is taking : someone else's wvife is a problem wvhich the ticket office hasn't ruled on yet. But the inference of the married rule most likely applies to the person whom you intendl to take to the game. Well, anyway, the big thing Is being married and not football tickets. * 9 .
