Page 8) UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA CROWING FOR A GREATER CAROLINA VL XLIX, No. 5 COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA, OCTOBER 10, 1958 Founded 1908 .Council A Absence ( Voting to abolish its absc Council revised the attendance at its meeting Monday. Jim Pendarvis' three-poir abolish the absences committee to record absences of council r tion, (8) that the elections cor any -vacancy which may occur on the council within 21 days of the announcement of the vacancy, un A less the vacancy shall occur with in six weeks of a genergI election, in which case the vacancy shall be filled by a 'student of the same school who is approved by a major ity of council." Declared Constitutional The motion was declared con stitutional by' student body presi dent Fred LeClereq since the student government constitution makes no mention of an absences committee. It merely requires that council membe-s who have more than six absences, only two of which may be unexcused, be dropped from the council. In the past the absentee com mittee has been appointec by the student body president, a precedent which h4s been followed by the council. It has hail the jurisdiction of accepting excuses from absen tees. By removing the committee, the effect of the new rule is actually to allow six absences, either ex cused or unexcused, since the com mittee was the body which deter. mined if an absence was excused, Pendarvis said. Special Election Nominations for the election provided by part three of the mo V tion will be made by the represen tatived of thwvsihoal- In; hft .vacancy occurred, Pendarvis said. Student Council will vote on these nominees to choose the new rep resentative, he said. Bob Wallace was chairman of the committee. Absentees at Monday's meeting were Alex Hawkins, Jack Taylor. Beverly Jones, Darrell Meeks, Boopa Pritchard, Dan Donavan, and Phil Garfinkle.

Fred LeClercq, student body president, and Boopa Pritchard, chairman of Football Trips Com mittee, have solicited the aid of the University Athletic Director Rex Enright in obtaining the re duction in price of tickets. A motion passed by the Student Council led to an interview with Roger White, who is in charge of the University football ticket sales in Columbia. White stated that special rates had been given stu dents in the past, but that it was his belief that the practice had been discontinued by action of a committee of the Atlantic Coast Conference upon the assumption that students who could afford to go to out-of-town football games could afford the price of the ticket.
