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. Thrge 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 ty three member student committees rs to discuss the problems further r- with representatives of the groups rs concerned. s. The 10 member student group is included Student Body President rs McNair, Secretary Jo Ann Frank ie an, and Treasurer Carroll Teague. e Others were Sammy Stilwell, c- Jimmy Leventis, Fred LeClercq, Orick Simpkins, Roger Knapper, g .rieiba Corley and Preston Whaiey. rs Memorandum e ollowing are the contents of the memorandum sent to Presiaent rt Russell by the Carolina student body concerning student com p- ints over recent changes by the nadministration. j"The Student Council of the University of South Carolhna, rep resenting the entire student body rt o1 Caronina, formally protests the recent changes made in the post ,oiice and football seating system and also finds the schedule for payment of room fees unsatistac Lory. ie "We feel that the changes were te made to facilitate the adminmstra n ion's duties irregardless of the di. effects it would have on the stu 'dent body. y "The inefficiency of the post 1- office is hard felt by all members of the student body. The football 2-. seating system makes it almost I- impossible for persons to sit with 1- desired groups and also limits d iating within the student body g 10 the games, thus cutting down i- Lhe 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 ir secured that would be satisfactory y to student and administrator alike. d"For the above stated reasons, it? Is requested that the student .y committees investigating these g, three troubled areas be given the in utmost consideration and coopera-. id tion by those persona responsible ly for the changes in hopes ot elimi natinr those pnolst,."
