Robert Rollins Blazers, Inc. is selling them through Alpha Phi Omega, service fraternity, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. At this time the students may buy the blazers at bulk wholesale prices. For women, prices are $20.95 to $28.95 in white and $20.95 to $24.95 in charcoal grey or navy blue men's wear flannel. Prices for men's blazers are $28.95, $32.95, and $34.95 in rich navy blue or charcoal grey men's wear flannel. Sorority and fraternity Greek letters may be added to the crest for $1.00. A plain pocket also comes extra with the blazer. A $5.00 deposit is all that is required to place an order; how ever, full payment plus 75 cents postage will save higher C. 0. D. mailing charges.

Next fall the Carolina-Duke game has been designated for the first official wearing of the blazers. New freshmen will be de niedl the blazer-wearing privilege until their second semester.

L a s t month council resigned from the National Student As sociation, an organization similar to SUSGA. The main issues in the dehate which lead to the resigna tion were NSA's opinions on inte gration and Communism. Council has investigated join ing SUSGA since its withdrawal from NSA, believing that SUSGA emphasizes the discussion of prac tical campus problems and spends little time in debate of national policies about them. National Association NSA, on the other hand, holds a congress of member schools each year to discuss controversial na tional issues and to form policy on these issues. Workshops are also held, discussing practical cam pus problems. SUSGA regulations state that to join SUSGA a school must be placed on SUSGA's list of ap proved schools and must ratify the SUSGA constitution either in a popular vote or through its stu dent council body. Carolina has already been placed on the approved list. Council's Ratification Council will vote on ratification of the constitution at its next meeting, which will be held after exams. If the constitution is rati fied, $25 annual dues will be for warded to SUSGA's central office, and Carolina will automatically become a member of the associa tion. In correspondence to council, Harold Grant, SUSGA executive secretary, said, "SUSGA does not attempt to represent its member schools nor legislate to solve stu dent problems. T h e underlying philosophy of SUSGA is that the local student government is more capable of truly representing its own students and also solving its own problems. SUSGA's Services "SUSG3A exists to serve -- to serve by existing as a medium for the exchange of ideas a m o n g schools, and providing a means for schools to work together for mutual benefits." He continued to define some of the services offered by SUSGA as including an annual conference on student government, a publica tions workshop, news letters to member schools, and a central of fice which maintains a file on in.. formation of student government activities which may be requested by member schools. The SUSGA constitution is printed on page eight of this week's "Gamecock." ~ciety Elects Officers and financial secretary, William Wilson. Michael R. Daniel is reporter; William Wood, recorder; James Mann, publications; and William Hennock, historian. Ken Holland follows Ken Birown as president at the inaugural meet ing Tuesday.
