gress was in playing the role of
obstructionists," LeClercq said.
A five-page resolution entitled
"Segregation" was submitted to
the conference by the University
delegates and was defeated by an
overwhelming vote, but, LeClercq
said, many people left the confer
ence with a better understanding
of the southern viewpoint on the
issue of segregation.
LeClercq added that some of the
delegates told him confidentially
that they~ would have voted dif
ferently if they could have justi
fied their votes to the students
whom they represented.
The University delegation was
successful in defeating a Univer
sity of Chicago resolution con
demning the executive brnch of
government of the United States
for its failure to push immediate
integration in all southern states,
Student Body President LeClercq
said.
The delegation was also success
ful in tabling a resolution con
demning southern states, and Vir
ginia in particular, for their
programs of massive resistance to
integration.
Jim Leventis, who was chosen to
represent the University at the
convention, and Pete Martin, alter
nate delegate, were unable to at
tend and Osborne was appointed
to act as a University delegate by
LeClercq.
Pep Rally
Scheduled
The traditional pep rally start
ing off the 1958 football season
has been planned for Friday, Sep
tember 19, at 7 p.m. on Davis
Field, according to Jerry Spann,
head cheerleader.
Quite a few features are ex
pected and a good turnout is neces
-sary to give the Gamecocks a big
boost before the Duke game the
next afternoon, Spann said.
The cheerleaders have worked
out several new cheers which
have been introduced to the fresh
men and will be used publicly for
the first time at the rally.
