Quit Since the beginning of the se mester I have heard many long winded conversations about fra ternities. Much has been by the members themselves. The basic topic of talk seems to be the moving of the fraternities, off campus. Every one of us wants to move and move in a hurry. Something has to be done and done quickly 1 Where does the answer lie to this ticklish problem? It lies with the fraternities themselves! The administration alone is not to blame. What can we do about it? I tender a suggestion. If we, the fraternities as a GROUP, would unite and band together to rid ourselves of this petty animosity and jealousy that exists, on the "Quadrangle," we might be able to accomplish the aims our founding fathers strove so hard for. Let's keep the nasty mouthings about other fraterni ties and fighting out of the Greek system altogether. The only fighting we sho6ld do is on the intramural field, or not have any at all. 14 FACTIONS At present we are 14 factions pulling in 14 different directions. If we can ALL get together and resolve these little differences as quickly as possible, we could do a great amount of good for our selves and also for our campus. We could go to the University officials and request what our fraternity brothers arc getting at state universities all over the country. If wve stood firm enough, we could obtain most of what we want. But if we cannot get along with each other we can not ex pect anything from anybody. There must be a complete, im mediiate change of this, " . . . I can't stand so-and-so because he is a so-and-so, and Is- not in our fraternity . . . not on our side of the quadrangle. . . . We must all stand together and face the long, hard fight that is to come, eventually over our National Constitutions and the Supreme Court decisions. This is enough to fight, without beating each others brains out. There are '700 fraternity men. If we learn to get along with ourselves we can go a long way. CARL M. REYNOl Old Joh Old John Adams, traditionally ] considered the father of the U. S. Navy, once shocked a. number of his contemporaries when he declared at 80, that he would never die. Ironically enough, he niever did. He lives today in the Navy De p)artment, and if one has a sharp ] vision and keen ears, he can see 4 him there, and hear him urging-< stouter ships, better breaks for the white hats and a better set i of Navy regulations. And, so, John Paul Jones and < many other notable skippers stillt roam the sea . . . they can be a seen from the stem to the stern < ...on the bridge and in the gun mounts. Who, then, are we t to say they've gone when they f continue to influence the prog. t ress in the Navy today?. A LOOK LOCALLY Likewise, let us look more lo- u cally to our own history. ,I Who is to .ay th.a Meiss..ck, r dicated Man The 'moet Important thing Prebdent Russell has dohe for is is Intangible. We can't touch t of fowl it.' Its just .something ve'll kow forever. He was there whad we were. That's what will natter. DEDICATED MAN President Russell is not a god for a nessiah. He will b* the lirst to admit that. But hea is a ledleated man to the cause he s with ... .the -baude he believes n. Everything he's touched here it Carolina hasn't turned to gold, )ut to a goal. He has awakened omething here, started us on he way ... the way up. It won't )e long before South Carolina vill rank high and unbeatabli. rhat'll take time and he has Fighting, Gre 'he main thing to remember is, f we cannot get along on cam ;us, how can we show the Uni rersity that we are old enough o live in a world outside of the iallowed gates of our Alma Water. OLD ENOUGH Actually the University does ot believe that we, as fraternity nen, can take care of our re iponsibilities. But I believe that f we can show them that we are ild enough to get along together and live in real harmony, not lust on the surface, they might e more lenient on us. By standing shoulder to shoul ler we could go to the officials, mink, show proof and get what we ill want and should have. Our wonstitutions are strong and have eeth to govern us. All our Brothers in other State Colleges mnd Universities can do it. Are hey any better than us? Not by a long sightl Too, if the fraternities were illowed to move off campus, here would be more spirit of !ompetition and backing of our 'Gamecocks." Come on, Greeks, let's quit this mnnecessary squabbling and work ogether and accomplish some hing more than just talk. ] "Today looks 1Ds ... n Adams Stil daxcy, Molton, Thornwell and hieBride, along with scores of ther great men who have 1 moosted Carolina are no longer vith us, when their dreams and. ispirations . . . their foreight innd integrity, still influences our ife hero at Carolina. The resignation of President tussell was met with mixed motions by most Carolina stu lents. It was expected. It was orecast. And, perhaps, it was vritten in astrological stars. Some students, many, in fact, leared the lumps in their hroats and uttered in some emblance, "What will beeome f Carolina now?" Others sug rested that "it's the greatest loss he University has ever suf ered." Comment, are still rela Ively stereotyped, but sincere ..and the inevitable has hap ened . . . but, it is not the end. lehind the clouds, the sun still hines.

Perhaps they are h ight and if this should happen t would be,a great thing for the w andlappers. Not only- would South Caro inians have the most able manr it the head for the next four very rucial years, they would have i man with the intangibles. And tl hose are the things that will be b, ong, remembered even after. the - s< ext four times 40 years are m gone. A man with -intangibles is ki i man standing tall. NO WORDS We can't hope to thank Presi lent Russell and his family. tl rhere are not appropriate words for this. We can only be thank rul . . . that he was here when we were. w tl h eks OPEN LETIER Open Letter to Dean Penney: ti )ear Dean Penney-All that has y aeen said before has been said 1M with deep appreciation for your ei 8xtremely rugged job as Dean y, >f Men. All I can say is that if it or, as fraternities are allowed to move off campus, we would be f< lleviating the housing shortage ti -onsiderably. The houses we now w inhabit could be used to house o4 )ther men. Or still better the sororities could use them. This si would help to aid their plight.

I uess we'll never realize its im rtance until we come home. ight now ... it means dances, ueens, parties and decorations rid all. But later it will mean . . what we did and said and iought. That'll be the day when e come home to Carolina. That's where the magic is. then we come home.

This way, he'd be working for e state. And, certainly, no man uld do a greater service to the ate than he; his qualifications e peerless, his ideals, sublime. Now, Mr. Russell, in duo re ect to you, may we suggest that greater loss to Carolina than are words can express is Mrs. assell. Other presidents will be Lined; more progress will be ade. But, thEre is not, and can 4 ver be, another "Mrs. Russell." A winning smile, a warm eeting, a genuine interest... e her calling cards . .. simple, icere.
