The Call Is Once again Carolina students have stood in line for football tickets and once again the number of date tickets available for students has fallen below the demands of the student body. The ticket situation has been investigated and discussed for many, many seasorns but each September the number of date tickets for students still has been too few. According to information available to THE GAMECOCK, the problem of tickets for the Carolina-Clemson game determines the number of season date tickets which will be available for students. If that is Paper Giv In order to maintain the high ideals and accomplishments attained by THE GAME COCK since its founding in 1908, the paper must have regulations and rulings govern ing its operation. The policies of the paper are established to assist the staff in making decisions and to inform you of privileges and limitations as contributors to the paper. THE GAMECOCK is a responsible campus publication which prints "all the news that's fit to print" as the motto of a somewhat larger newspaper reads. The student paper is manned by a conscientious staff which strives to produce an informative and enter taining edition with each publication. The paper is published on Fridays during the college year except during examinations and on holidays. Unlike a number of papers, THE GAME COCK is not a house-organ. Instead, it is a publication by the students for the stu BILL HANDEL Around, Ar( Around and around we go, - prefer to sit chasing our proverbial tails.

According to the best knowledge of this writer, 700 tickets were allotted to the entire student body by the Board of Trustees. LIKES SPORTS Every red-blooded American boy likes to view the spectacular sport of football, and in the same light he likes to be seated beside his best girl during the event. In most colleges around the na tion this has been realized and made possible. Apparently this p)olicy is not realized at Carolina. The Carolina-Clemson contest is South Carolina's most highly publicized event in the sporting field. People from all over the nation journey to Columbia to ohserve this annual "Big Thurs day" rivalry. Yet a student at Carolina is forced to tell his best girl or even perhaps his fiancee that she cannot attend the game with him. Frankly, I know of no harder task. Even if our dates do obtain tickets for themselves the problem still exists. A stu dent and his date cannot remain togrether throughout the g..e. CARL M.

SStudent tickets went on sale Monday and two hours later there was wailing and gnashing teeth. Very few date tickets were available to the student body. This of course creates much dis appointment, frustration, and be wilderment. FEW LEFT As this writer understands and as this column goes to press, there were only available to single seniors a mere total of 18 (late tickets. Unbelievable? You bet. To the junior, sophomore, and freshman class the situation seems even more futille. Many of the students are plac.. ing the blame for this perplexing situation on the officers of the Gamecock Club.

But what are you going to do? Mister Anderstn, I've one com ment to make. Why don't you just pile all of the tickets in the center of Carolina Stadium.

To put Independents, incoherent and unversed on social protocol and other high crimes as we are con sidered to be, in with these groups is, or seems to be a breach of something or another. But, again, Housing, being re sponsible for assigning rooms, must use the full number of units at their disposal, and in all fair ness to Housing's chronic prob lem, we must state that the pla0 used this year is not alarming. Specifically, it was stated that students should pay for their room rent in advance of registra tion. In this way, they would be reassigned to their previous rooms, or be placed on a first come, first-served basis. Our evaluation of the situation, and we feel it a legitimate one, is that Housing still is unjust in calling for the room rent as a means of reserving a room. Some of us remember when the $16 room deposit (ear-marked as a room reservation fee) was ade quate . . . we seem to also recall that in those days, Housing also didn't have its chronic problem 4.. ... maybe the circumstances and conditions have changed some what since then. * * * (RID TICKETS There is little need to comment on the football ticket situation. The members of the team, we understand, are relatively pleased with their seats. But then again, they are somewhat in a minority. * * * 'Y' DRIVE The Carolina Community is to be approached soon with a drive for funds for the YM-YWCA. Not only do they seek operative expenses, but members to assist in their worthwhile role on the campus. Our experiences with the "Y" have proven the worth of that organization to the Carolina Community. It deserves your support. The "Y" perhaps does the greatest good for the greatest number when considering cam pus groups and their projects f . . . and while a buck or two will seem so small, it will mean so much when translated into serv ices rendered by that group. Perhaps you will better under stand its program when you at tend its luncheons weekly. No doubt, we'll see you at the .Junior-Senior luncheon at one on Friday. RIEGULIATIlONS New students have a knack of obeying rules to the letter, es pecially since the thorough Stu dlent Council-sponsored orienta tion pirogram. With reference to this, we suggest that Section 9, page 18, third sentence of the "Carolina Community" handbook not be taken too literally. Ini a somewhat ambiguous statement, it suggests that trash h)e dleposited in the halls before 8 a.m., in order that the janitors may collect it during the day.
