Money Lost In Machines From Abuse Abuse of vending machines is the primary cause of money lost by students in the machines, ac cording to a report from the com mittee appointed by student coun cil to deal with complaints. The report resulted from a meeting of the signers of a letter to the editor which appeared in a recent issue of The Gamecock, with student body vice-president Alan Davis and Ben Fowler, who is in charge of the machine. on campus. A cycle has developed from loss of money in machines and abuse of machines by irate students, Davis reported to student council Monday. Certain students who lost money have taken out their wrath on the machines by various man ner or means. As a result of these vindictive measures, other Inno cent students lose money, he said. Fowler assured student councl that his office will compensate any student for money lost. The stu dent must notify Fowler as to which machine he lost the money in and the approximate time of the loss. Severe disciplinary action will be taken in regard to students caught tampering with machines, Davis said. He urged every Caro lina student to report violations.

A memorandum sent by Dean of Women Arney R. Childs and Dean of Men James T. Penney to Dr. Patterson contained the rule which reads: "Beginning imme diately the quadrangle bounded by Green, Pickens, Bull, and De vine streets is off limits for men after 11 o'clock at night. Students returning from dates after that hour must identify themselves on request by showing an ID card. Both campus and city police have been authorized to carry out this regulation." "Because we continue to have trouble with men prowlers after hours, we thought it necessary to take some action," Dr. Patterson said. He said that one prowler who was not a student has been caught in the girls' dormitory area this semester. It was announced that both cam pus and city police have been au thorized to enforce this regula tion. Additional lights are being' added to the area, and a fence was erected between a wall and fresh man dorms on Bull Street. Soc iety Says Do Not Mix S. C. .Schools The Euphradian Society went on record Tuesday night as being opposed to the "integration of South Carolina schools," after a spontaneous motion to that effect was introduced on the floor by Charles Davis. Since no discussion preceded the voting, the Euphradians will :lebate the issue formally during its Senate session Tuesday, Nov. 20, when the topic will read: Re solved, "Integration of South Carolina Colleges should be effec tive by the fall of 1957." While the liberal party will de rend the affirmative, a number of iberal senators have indicated that they might switch to the con 5ervative faction, according to Carl Reynolds, program chairman. Parliamentary debate during l'uesday's senate session concerned the present world crisis, as the iberals urged that the United States Increase its military power in view of world tension, in the Middle East. So controversial was the debate that several visitors gained the floor to express their views on ~he subject, which was won by .he liberal wing, Reynolds re ported.
