Campus Shop Controv Student By JUDY KILLOUGH S"df Writer The Campus S h o p contro versy seems to be all the rage this week. In order to see what the gen eral feeling is on campus, we took a random sampling of the student b o d y. The question asked was, "What do you think about the Campus Shop controversy?" These are the results: GAM GLENN, a senior, has this to say: "I just wonder where the money goes. It should be made clear to the student body where the money goes so they won't be dissatisfied. If the money goes to the athletic department, that seems worthy enough. "It seems that the prices should correlate with those in town or at the other stores." PENNY CROSIER, a sopho more, gives her views: "The management of our Cam pus Shop us using the needs of the Carolina student for its own benefit. When an emergency arises, the student buys his nec essary items at the most avail able place, which, naturally, bap pens to be the Campus Shop. "In addition, many items a student needs in his classes cannot he easily purchased elsewhere. "Because our shop is so con veniently situated in Russell House, purchases are made there regardless of the fact that the management continues to use the purchaser for its own monetary advancement. "The college student is usually dependent on the college store;' therefore, it is unethical to allow this profiteering to continue its obviously rapid progression on the University of South Carolina campus." BOB SMITH, sophomore, gives an opinion: "I haven't got anything against the prices in the Campus Shop.

It is a reflection on the school for people to have to go downtown because of the high prices in the Campus Shop. "Come on, gang! Let's splurge and support the poor unfortu nates who run the Campus Shop. Dig deep into your pock ets!" ALLEN JACKSON, a sopho more, says: "As a transfer from Georgia Tech, comparing the prices, the prices here are a lot higher. "Why don't they show the rec ords and have an auditor go over them. It would clear up the whole mess." GAIL BROCK, a junior, says: "I think some official should go through the Campus Shop checking prices. "You can buy a sweatshirt downtown for about -half the price of one with Carolina writ ten on it. It seems to me to be like a resort place, not at all like a school store for the BENEFIT of the students." PAT ADAIR, sophomore, says: "I understand that the athletic dopartment gets some of the prof its from the Campus Shop. This is good, as far as it goes. I think it might be good for some of the money to go into the Student Loan Fund. "I feel that the prices that the Campus Shop charges do seem too high. I think their financial records should be made public. If they do show profits, they should he put into a student loan fund." * * * By the way, many thanks to those of you who have offered subjects for this column.

Following this trend of thought, the stu dent encounters a new system of nomenclature, not, I admit, as accurate or complete as the biol ogical one of Linnaeus, but at least it is a step in some direc tion. We begin the cataloging with the description of a wide majority who are aware that there are organizations on his campus. This is accomplished by various meth ods: scholarly reading of bulle tin boards, listening to announce ments over a public address sys Pharmacists Hold Meeting, Hear Kyzer A meeting of the student branch of the American Pharma ceutical Association was held Thursday, November 12, in Le Conte College. Special guest speaker was Horace Kyzer, one of six members of the South Carolina State Board of Phar maceutical Examiners. Kyzer's talk concerned the present policies of the State Hoard. le discussed with the students the problems facing pharmacy graduates of the next few years and explained some of the regulations governing the ap prentice pharmacist in South Carolina. At the business meeting, cer tain proposed changes to the con stitution of the APhA were read and discussed. Plans are being made for the formation of a wives' auxiliary. The group voted to have the annual Christmas party on De ceniber 16 at the Jefferson Hotel. Entertainment will be provided by student musicians. Pi* Kappa Alpha Lists Officers Of Pledge Class Pi Kappa Alpha has recently announced its pledge class offi cers for the fall semester. Elected are: Jack Jones, president; Tomi Snider, vice president; and Rich ard Copeland, secretary-treas urer. (~ fron 4Uli ~~GaN ?W Gives wsification tem, or chance eavesdropping. Awareness is the outstanding characteristic here. Next in the activity scale are the delinquents-juvenile or oth erwise. It is they whom the ac tivity enthusiasts dub as the in efficiency experts. They are the individuals whose names add to the club's role, but in spite of good intentions never quite make it to actual meetings. From the third group evolve the good solid citizen type. It is from this group the leaders find solace, especially after a good look at the delinquents. They are rather like the line from the song once heard - "You're always there, you're what I call a hitching post." Efficiency, loy alty, and-well, at least they are there. A fourth group is the activity leaders. In this kingdom we find sub-kingdoms. There are the lead ers who easily impresses the new comer. Here he sees the future executive as he practices his fu ture importance. Usually, this in dividual holds a plural number of offices in a plural number of organizations. Other e q u a 11 y colorful individuals impress the newcomer in a different way as he thanks his members- for at tending. And on and on it could go. Maybe someday some intellectual will finish, perfect, or make a f resh start to establish an activity nomenclature. Just maybe. USC Landmark Towers on High 11y STAFF WRITER Looking back in the files of old issues of "The Gamecock," I stumbled across an article . . . which probably won't interest anyone, actually. Ever notice that big smokestack over behind Burney? You know, the one with the big USC in white bricks? Well, maybe a few of you have wondered why it's there. (Frankly, I haven't.) Anyway just in case you have, thought we'd explain. You see, in November of 1955, Carolina changed its system of heating f r o m coal to natural gas. (Swing?) A campus landmark, the smoke stack has been towering above the USC campus for many years. Once it was a useful part of life at Carolina; however, progress has moved ever onwvard, leaving it only a symbol of former days... a very noticeable- part of the Carolina campus, as it is located approximately in the geographi cal center of the campus.

Our Exclusive recock Charge Plan Minority Governs But Why? By JUDY KILIMUGH Saf Writer "Condemned to be free." When first heard these words seem rather incongruous. After all, aren't American children taught from toddlehood to accept free dom as their right? Freedom is painted in the annals of Ameri cana as a gift, not an earned re ward. Every American is an American; therefore is free. All those people who don't have freedom? Well, something must be wrong with them. They aren't playing the game. But freedom is not a gift, pos session, or game. It is a God given responsibility. It has been earned by our forefathers. It must be earned by the present generation in order for our chil dren to live as free beings. Ask Hungary Ask the Hungarians if freedom is a gift. They have given their blood and tears for freedom. They have no freedom, therefore they know its value. As yet there is no light in the darkness of their oppression. Freedom to some means "you leave me alone and I'll leave you alone." This attitude is impos sible in a civilized society. You are not free in the untrammeled sense of the word. You are your brother's keeper. You share in community responsibility. Carolina is a community. There are the workers, the government, the society, the clubs, and the little hives of humanity known as dormitories. Thirty Per Cent Majority In this community, there are a group of Greek letter organiza tions, composing some thirty per cent of the student body. This thirty per cent controls student government. They do an excel lent job of it. But, quite frankly, the attitude of the independents in allowing them uncontested rule is rather sickening. Surely there are some worthy leaders among the inde pendents. The trouble is not among the worthy few. It is in the lack of support among the seventy per cent. They just don't care. This .attitude, on a larger scale, leads to dictatorships. One Is Interested Of course, if the people really don't care, a dictatorship is fine. A t least there will be one man interested in government. A democracy, however, is us ually understood to mean rule by the majority. Is thirty per cent the majority on this campus? "Condemned to be free"... think about it. Pledges Announce Officers, Discuss Planned Activities On November 3, the pledge class of Sigma Delta Tau elected the following as officers for this fall semester: Barbara Loewe, president; Susan Loewe, vice president; and Mimi Sunshine, secretary-treasurer. At the meeting, the duties of the pledges were also announced, as well as plans for activities during this semester. Pledges Name Class Officers For Fall Term Lambda Chi Alpha recently elected officers for the pledge class for the fall semester. Those elected are: Ray Smith, presi dent; Robert Gamble, vice presi dent; Billy Rast, secretary-treas urer; and Allen Turner, social chairman.
