UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA
CROWING FOR A GREATER CAROLINA
Vol. XLVII, No. 24 COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA, MARCH 22, 1957 Founded 1908
Wallace
Departs
For Games
By Mac Hill
Sports Editor
There's one fellow on- campus
who will remind us of the '66-'57
basketball season for some time to
come. He is, of course, our own
All-America basketeer, Grady
Wallace.
Grady, who has all but sewed
up the national scoring champion
ship, embarked for Kansas City
yesterday to prepare for the first
of two all-star cage games he is to
appear in. He will participate in
an East-West game in Kansas City
next Monday and then will jour
ney to New York City for another
such game at Madison Square
Garden one week from tomorrow
night.
Earlier this week, the lanky
Kentuckian was named to the In
ternational News Service All
America quint which will place
him on the concensus team since
he also made the UP first team
and AP's second team All-Ameri
can.
Wallace's only probable competi
tor for the scoring crown is Wilt
Chamberlain of Kansas who will
play tonight and tomorrow. "The
Stilt" has a 29.8 average and
needs some 99 points to overcome
Grady's astronomical 31.24 mark.
In the midst of practice teach
ing, Grady plans to be graduated
in June of this year and hopes to
play basketball for some AAU
club. He proved his determination
to shun pro ball by refusing a
$1,000 o'ffer from the Harlem
Qlobetrotters, Inc., to play for
"only" one week.

Dance Room
Renovation
Nears End
University workmen have com
pleted laying tile over a 1,250
square foot area of Carolina's new
dance room in the basement of
Russell House. A smaller area re
mains to be finished with sealing
concrete material which has not
arrived yet.
Russell House Director Joe
Barnes has secured a dry box for
drinks and is in the process of
getting a fountain counter, he
said.
Barnes will meet next week with
the Russell House Student Union
Committee to discuss plans for the
decorations motif and the opening
date. A combo will be provided on
opening night.
Barnes said that the renovation
work should be completed by next
week. The Campus Shop, which
used the space for storage, has
almost completed moving its ma
terials to the basement of Coker
College.
Several university officials con
ceived the dancing room idea for
Carolina while attending a con
ference for Deans of Men at Au
burn, Alabama In January.
The cost of renovating the room
will be approximately $300, of
which the committee on student
activities has allotted $160.

Disciplinary
Candidates
Two proposed constitutional
amendments, one concerning pres
idential qualifications and the
other concerning disciplinary com
mittee members, received first
reading by Student Council this
week.
Second reading was given to six
other proposed amendments intro
dluced last week.
A proposed amendment intro
du(ed to alter Section one of
Article two which lists certain
qurlifications for student body
officers, would require student
body presidential candidates to
"maintain a 4.000 average and not
less than 75 credit hours."
Article nine, section one, con
cerning nominations, stipulates
that two members of the disci
plinary committee (one man, one
woman) will be elected from the
student body. The proposed
amendment to this portion of the
constitution would add Honor
Council and Prn-Hellenic Council
president to the iist of officers
that constitute a candidate's in
eligibility.
The proposed amendment would
also eliminate members of Honor
Board and Student Council from
serving on the disciplinary com
mittee.
Councilman Virgil Duffie, chair
man of the constitutional revision
conmmittee, explained that the
change is being made to eliminate
ex-officio positions.
