PRESSBOX By CHARLIE BRADLEY Sports Editor School spirit and student morale have reached what i probably their lowest ebb during the past decade. By th term spirit I do not mean to imply merely attendance an support of our athletic events, for the realm of school spiri extends much further. For example, the freshman class has not seen fit to sub mit to any type of orientation such as wearing rat hats il recognition of the achievements of upper classmen. Anothe: example is the attitude of the student body as a whole whici generated the so called panty raids. This attitude also exist, within the circle of professors and administrators of th4 University, who are more concerned with the rating of theii departments than with intellectual development of the in dividual. Why does this feeling exist? In the first place, the Uni versity has been so quick to adhere to new ideas that it ha. allowed our wonderful heritage and tradition to fall by th4 way side. The general atmosphere surrounding the campu. is one of unrest and criticism. This criticism is leveled no only at the athletic department but at the University ad ministration as well. In this era of great scientific achievement where senti ment and humanitarianism are all but forgotten, the Uni versity must realize its duty not only as an educationa institution but also a foundation on which a student cai construct his emotional growth. Those persons who feel that we can attain the revere< height of school spirit by merely waving the flag, learninj the cheers and school songs and lending our passive presenc< at athletic events are sadly mistaken. We must realize a well as identify ourselves with both the good and the bat of the University and learn to accept the wins and the losse., in the same good grace. To quote the late Grantland Rice, "It's not who won what was the score, but how you played the game." * * * * * In several weeks the University athletic center will b4 the site of both the A.C.C'. and State Track meets. Facil ities for the expected turnout are in the process of beinj acquired by the Athletic Department and the largest turn out for field and track events in the history of the state ih expected. These -meets are being held in Columbia through th4 co-operation of the University Athletic Department an< the State and Atlantic Coast Conference track associatiom and are not regularly scheduled sports competition for Uni versity teams. As special student rate of 50c per person has been se for the State Meet and a similar fee will be charged stu dents of the University for admittance to the conferenc< meet. The State meet will be held annually in Columbia whil< a permanent site for the conference meet is yet undecided For that reason the students of Carolina as well as the gen eral public should support these events to the best of thei: ability.

Regardless what the exports may say or the Indifferent may do, the track season has come to the University of South Oarolina in a big way, and rightly so! Only varsity football and basketball can claim larger fan support among the student body. In two home meets alone, attendance has been well over 4,000, and will doubtless rise in number and spirit as the season moves along. Carolina has become frack-tonscious, and the end is nowhere in sight. During the fall semester, the arrow began to point toward big things for the tracksters. Coach Weems Baskins was relieved of his duties as end coach on the football staff, so -that he might devote his full time arid efforts toward track. The creation last year of a splen did track for meets was high lighted' this season with added equipment. Carolina now has one of the finest tracks in the South, as demonstrated by its being asked to serve as host to the Atlantic 'Coast Conference track meet on May 8-9. Stands for spectators have been erected and more will be added in the future. A consid erable amqunt of land needs to be cleared, which' when completed, will provide a seating capaeity for several thousand more fans. Drawingeards Certainly our fine coach and admirable facilities are drawing cards, 'but it is ultimately the team that serves as the lure for the thousands who flock to each meet. U.S.C. has the nucelus for an outstanding track squad. Chief fan attraction is blonde Bill Latham, a Columbia senior. Billy is 'present A.C.C. mile champion and is one of the out standing runners of the college mile in the United States.

Earlier in the season BHI won the A.'C.C. Indoor mile title at 4:12.5, took the Florida Relays tfwo-nile championship and swept t both events in dual meets with t Georgia 'and North Carolin's. Billy's only loss was to Duke's Cary Weisinger in the mile, but the former Dreher Hi track stand out came back in the same meet to i set a new state record of 9:19.3 t for the two-mile. Buddy Mayfield, another senior, will move to a contract with the -pro Green Bay Packers upon grad ,uation. As a track man, quarter miler Mayfield has been improv ing rapidly after an early-season E foot injury and has won consis- I tently in the 220. Buddy is noted t for the great effort he puts forth ,in each race, and the hard work he brings to each practice. Shot put star Dave Coates has 9 not hit his peak but has won re- 1 peatedly with throws in the 50 foot category. Coates, a junior from Culpepper, Va., has over come a delicate operation to re- i place a damaged muscle in his right arm, and we add all en coul,agement to him to continue his I efforts at track.
