(Staff Photo by Ken All Eligible For Blazers, Council Says Student Council voted Monday to extend the wearing of blazers to the entire student body. For merly only juniors and seniors were entitled to purchase blazers. One of Council's main reasons in opening the wearing of blazers to underclassmen is to spread the name of Carolina throughout the state, Student Body President Mc Nair said. A principal reason for limiting the blazers to juniors and seniors had been to distinguish the dif ferent classes at Carolina. Those interested in opening the blazers to all students felt that the year Df graduation which is listed un .er the emblem on the pocket of the blazers would be sufficient in designating a student's class stand ing. Council also voted between two suggested crests for the upper left hand p)ocket of the blazers, select ing the one which seemed more :-ompact. Measure in Two Weeks Tailors will be at Russell House n approximately ten days to take rittings, Don Richardson, chairman >f the blazer committee, has said. Richardson also said that any mis rittings from last year will be cor rected at this time and that any siisspelling of letters on the em ,lems would be corrected. The cost of the blazers is ap aroximately $32.00 for men stu lents and $20.00 for women. Rich trdson's committee, which in ludes Jo Ann Franklin and Fimmy Leventis, is also looking nto the price lists of other comn yan ies. Appointments Made President Bob McNair also an iounced appointees to several ~ommittees. On the Publications Dommnittee along with the four nembers elected from the literary iocieties will be John Altman and B~ob Andersen; Housing, Buddy 3migator; Post Office, Fred Wig !ield; Dance Committee, Gary Rhinesmith; and Football Seating, D)ick Maher and Jim Herring in iddition to Jimmy Leventis and Fred LeClercq who are presently serving on the comitee very ent Problems Referred To Groups A referral of student problems to representatives of the groups concerned was directed by Univer sity President Donald S. Russell at a meeting of the President and a student group Monday. Committees from Student Council have been asked to discuss the problems with officials in the va rious fields in which problems exist. The student committees have not yet been named but ap pointments are expected to be made next week. Three Problems Monday's meeting, previously announced for Friday, concerned primarily three problems-hous ing, post office boxes and football seating arrangements. President McNair, spokesman for the stu dent group, pointed out the criti cism in these areas after which President Russell explained the situation in each case as it now exists. President Russell asked that Student Council set up two or three member student committees to discuss the problems further with representatives of the groups concerned. The 10 member student group included Student Body President McNair, Secretary Jo Ann Frank Lin, and Treasurer Carroll Teague. Others were Sammy Stilwell, Jimmy Leventis, Fred LeClercq, L)rick Simpkins, Roger Knapper, Meiba Corley and Preston Whaiey. Memorandum Following are the contents of the memorandum sent to Presiaent Russell by the Carolina student body concerning student com pints over recent changes by the admmnistration. "The Student Council of the University of South Carolina, rep resenting the entire student body 01 Caroina, formally protests the recent changes made in the post ollice and football seating system and also finds the schedule for payment of room fees unsatiulac cory. "We feel that the changes were made to facilitate the admiimstra Lion's duties irregardless of the ellects it would have on the stu (lent body. "The inefficiency of the poet office is hard telt by all members of the student body. The football seating system makes it almost impossible for persons to sit with desired groups and also limits uatmng within the student body ior the games, thus cutting down the number of date tickets avail able. "The advance payment of room fees places an undue amount of strain on many students and it is felt that some other plan could be secured that would be satisfactory to student and administrator alike. "For the above stated reasons, it is requested that the student committees Investigating these three troubled areas be given the utmost consideration and coopera-. tion by those persons responsible for the changes in hopes of elimi! natimr those nrea..
