State Appropriates Band Funds There has been much varied comment on the band situ: tion since Sportopics last week. My views on the matt( have been misinterpreted to say the least. I was not tryin to say that we should have a band because Miami had on, Or that the university should have one equal to that of th Hurricane's. Anyone who knows anything at all about U University of Miami knows of the financial aid the state < Florida pours into the various organizations on the Mian campus. We have no horse or dog races to support our athletic or band here at South Carolina. The athletic program is d pendent on the "Gamecock" club more or less. The ban gets what financial aid the state of South Carolina wi appropriate and that is very little. Therefore, the situatio concerning our band here at Carolina is a critical one. Much Talk, Little Done The question arises now, just why won't the state alk larger amounts of funds for the building of our band? It i a much talked about matter and everyone seems concerne< yet, no one does anything about it. Having a representativ band at our state institution would not only be a credit to th university but to the entire state and especially all alumi over the country. Just what would it take to put the type band everyor is clammering for on the field? One of the south's outstan( ing band directors would build a top one here with 30 tuitio scholarships, so the report goes. Some people will gasp at tl thought of such a thing but is this really a terrific amount Is this too much money to put into a band? I should say no Scholarships for Band Members It is a known fact that Miami, Michigan State, UCL) and other leading schools in the country have all band men bers on scholarship. Why can't the state of South Carolir afford such a little amount of thirty tuition scholarshil which would amount to approximately six thousand dollars Is this too much to ask in order to have a marching bar everyone would be proud of? We also need new band uniforms. The ones being wor now are definitely out of date and a band should look good as it sounds. A couple of good trips would tend 1 create much interest also. It would probably cost more to g< the band on its feet the first year than it would the years th: would follow. But it would be worth every minute, day, ay year and every cent that would go into building one as v would like to have it. I am hoping that someone will sot take a hand and get the "ball rolling," and do it now. \\ have been waiting long enough. Tennis, Golf Teams Win Titles Hats off to our tennis and golf teams for their champioi ship form shone in both state tournaments last week. Coar Joe Grugan's charges emerged victorious from the stal tennis tournament in Clinton last Friday and Saturday.

Our talented track coach inj.iredl h back in a gruelling handball game last week anid it pr1ov& to be more serious than he thought.

Hie proved his calibre as a trac coach last week in the North Carolina meet when he pwlk one of the shrewdest moves of the year to edge t he power'f Tar Heels. Baskin is one of the best.
