Library Was Nol As the result of a petition circulated by students last year the student body now enjoys the use of McKissick Library on Sunday nights. A meeting of the University Library Committee, held during the closing days of last semester heard Student Body President David White, Jack Bass, June graduate, and Patsy Penney, August graduate, request that the library be open until 11 p.m. on week days and open on Sundays. The library was closed on Sunday last year. Although the petition representatives did not get all they asked for we think that the Many Studez Many of the students at Carolina will be eligible to vote in the Nov. 6 general election. For most of those students eligible it will be the first time they have ever had the opportunity to vote for the president of the United States. We strongly urge that they take advan tage of that )pportunity. It is one thing, often overlooked, that is of utmost impor tance.

We think they made the right move when they decided to once again open the library on Sunday nights. The library is the center of information on campus in regard to a student's study and research. We believe that, since Sunday study is naturally ex pected by the faculty of their students, the library should be open to the students for study and research on Sunday. We are glad to see that the faculty has cooperated with the students in this matter. -HIerbryant its Can Vote vote he must have been a resident of South Carolina for two years, a resident of a particular South Carolina County for one C year and a resident of the polling precinct t for four months.

On their programs for the coming year, the three above mentioned series all are present ing the Ballet Russe de Monte - Carlo and the Pittsburgh Sym phony orchestra. If the Univer sity had had a series this year, the same presentations could no - doubt,- have been incorporated into the program. - Other selections which will be in South Carolina during the academic year in connection with one or ahother of the three se ries are the N. B. C. Opera's presentation of "Madame But terfly;" a joint recital by Jan Peerce and Leonard Warren; Artur Rubenstein; the Obern kirchen Children's Choir; the two-piano team of Whittemore and Lowe; Goldovsky's opera Theater presenting "The Secret Marriage;" an organ recital by Virgil Fox; and the Roger War ner Chorale. A five or six-event program during the year could bring a variety of similar fine selections to the campus, and a reasonable student rate would insure a large audience. We feel that such a program would be enthu siastically received by a large part of the student body. It is not that a student should be required to attend such func tionsit is that he should be given the opportunity for expo sure to culture, and at a price he can afford. It is surprising as wvell as a disgrace that a state university which should be a cultural as well as an academic center,,does not have a concert-theater series of its own. I am glad that I grew up in Lexington, Va., a small college town whose total p)opulation numbers little more than the student enrollment at Carolina. For there, they of fer a concert theater series of the highest cal iber, and had I waited until I came to college to absorb some culture, I would have been sorely disappointed.

TMNISTS rton. Robert. Talbert, Jr, Caro CARL M. REYNOLD! Grundo4 Really Say Down in the swampland, things looked big last year. Big things was and were gonna hap pen. First-off, Madame Jayhawk laid a 12-foot-acrost egg, and everybody wanted to help her hatch it. (She couldn't very well sit on the whole egg, her being the small type swamp creature). Thee ws great disturbance, and from te ranks there came a big dispute. Who was gonna sit on the middle of the Jayhawk egg, and who was gonna sit on the ends. Actual, nobody wanted to sit on the ends, cause it tapered off, and most of the excitement would have been missed, when the big event came. Then, right out of thin air, there came the election. Pogo was a likely prospect and kind, but he dint want to run. Simenole Sam, with carpet bag in hand, felt Lil ole Grundoon was a good prospect. Sam had a 14-dollar bill (issued by a very select group of Southern States with tradition, et al) which made everybody take note . . . least aways, he was looking respect able. Sam put Grundoon on the tick et and mustered Albert and Churchy as expert campaigners. Snavely also came to the rally for Grundoon, but switched his support for P. T. Beaureguard (Man's best friend, and noble) . . who was a Cainine who didn't have his day. But P. T. ran on a pedigreed ticket, nonetheless, since he was so noble and aloof of the Swamp land. And, what with Snavely outruled by many East of the rockies as a mythological beast . . . he was a hoop snake and went around in certain circles . . . he didn't stand much of a chance as a campaign manager. Actual, though, he stood up right for a while, as an appren tice Cobra, but dint like the cloak, 'cause he warnt ashamed of being a snake. Leastaways, everybody knew P.T.'s platform. He was noble. But Grundoon, said his plat form was "BXPT." And every body thought the little chile was so tender, so honest, so rure . .. NANCY FOX A Dilemn To Wear, Ho The temperature's rising . . Campus is perking up as the week speeds to tomorrow and the game. With the Gamecocks' r'ecord snugly secure thus far. for us coeds, the only peCrturbing thought is not of a possible de feat (Even we are smart enough to (discount that) but the weath er. The thought of continued wvarm, warm weather or a sud den cloudburst can dampen foot ball finery as wvell as school spirit. Besides football, two new ele ments seemed to have pervaded Carolina this week. One is the Pogo movement. Still at a crawl, the Pogoites, who are trying to proclaim their wise little candi (late campuswide, haven't really started the bandwagon yet in fear of the opposition "Me First" party. We hear, it may become a serious threat to friends of Pogo. The "Me F'irsters" are just what the name implies and the Pogoites are slightly afraid of the potential members that may be attracted to the newv group. No one seems to know the ori gin of the movement for suro but eager studlents are constant ly besetting Pogoites asking "Button, button, who's got the button? And "Can I get one, too?" But the Pogoites have still to contendl with the Elvis Presley rage. We haven't yet heard of anybody actually aligning politi cally with the guitar playing contortionist here, but if Joe Smith made it, why not Elvis? Monday my seldom bedraggled, but always redheaded roommate explained the reason.. o er :)n Dint Nothing and how could they of knowed that little ole Grundoon was double-talking? He kept saying "BXPT, BXPT" which really dint mean nothing actual, he was saying "Nothing, Nothing." The shame of itl Simenole Sam, not being the timed type, marveled at Grun doon's simple sincerity. He was mighty impressive. Even Churchy and Albert were moved to support Grun doon. Albert filled the rooms with smoke, and Churchy spoke of getting everybody happy with the seats on the 12-foot-acrost jay-hawk egg. 'Course this would sort of be a miracle . . . but nobody really knew what Grundoon meant when he said "BXPT," but he said it with such determination, such inde pendence . . . that the swamp- J land respected him for being so straight forward. When the election came off, Grundoon was elected.. The swampland rejoiced. A few "me first" still claimed they woulda rather had "Pogo." But Pogo was busy fishing. Little ole Grundoon set about, with lil ole Pup Dog, who only says "wurf" (which in literal translation, means, "me, too") to decide on the way the egg was gonna be set-on to be hatched. Pogo listened to the plans, but had little to say, only that it would conic out in the wash. He said many of the dirty spots would be white-washed, making it look fresh and new, but really doesn't solve the problem. Nobody really knows where they're gonna sit on the jayhawk egg, until they get there, and then its so confusing. Grundoon still says "BXYPT" but the swamp creatures still are confused as ever. Maybe if Simenole Sam were here and not on a traveling tour, he could of explained what he was all ex cited about. Maybe he knew something about Grundoon we dint. But it woulda been nice for Pogo to have run . . . he's so honest and smeiere. Leastaways: I go Pogo, ia--What w To Vote? haustion. First trip to pick up football tickets. But she felt much better after a few minutes p)ondering over the fact that these treks, to become regular jaunts this season, in the long run, would be physically exhil erating and educational, too. Af ter all, not everyone gets to view frequently all the scenery be tween Sims and the Ticket of fice. And sometimes even, things are doing along the route. Like this week, it was plumbV thrilling to watch light posts be ing erected on Davis field. After hearing this point of view, which I admitted I'd failed to recognize, I had to concede that there really was gen-u-ine merit in those trips.
