Sam Freed . . . Here's You Throughout the Carolina Com munity, there are those who have i complaints, and justifiably so, I about various conditions on cam- i pus. Under our present structure and operation of Student Gov ernment there is no real and effective in e a n s of expressing I these shortcomings. A Student Body officer might tell you to "take it through the proper channels and let your Stu dent Council try and solve the problem." But how many of us ever see our Student Council representa tive after the election? How many of these so-called workers for Carolina in the body of the half hundred devote the neces sary time to their elected posts? Cute Little Secretary There are some that do and they do a fine job, a job of which we can be proud. The cute little Secretary of the Student Body is one of the few who exemplify this group. But as we look at the minutes of Student Council each week, we see tho ever-increasing number f of students who fail to show up for the meetings. This and the general trend of business of the sessions of this council point to t the fact that the method of t proper channels leaves a lot to be 1 de s iredl. What we students need is a common meeting ground where I the problems that confront us dlaily can be resolved and ironed out. I prlop)ose a meeting of the Student Body for the purpose of self-analysis of the community andl to pr~opose ways of making our environment more compati- < ble. Policy Making Problems of many sorts can be dIiscussed, and( from this meet ing can come motions to direct the Student Government in their policy making.

Fraternities and so rorities are not particulary fi nancially stable. There are some people who think so, but few organizations can boost of an abundance of ready capital for Lwo rush seasons. The swiftness of rush cuts down on the available time for students studying. College can he perplexing and disillusionary for new students. The initial im pressions of college are impor tant to a person's success, but unfortunately, people can lose all sense of responsibility when immediately barraged by invita tions to spend time "partying" when they should be applying themselves to their studies. Social functions require time just as studying requires time. It is a matter of opinion as to wvhich is more important, but studlious habits initially formed are more helpful later on in the college year than some of the odious habits which develop here at USC as a result of fall rush Time Limitation Because there is a time limiita tion on rush in the fall, many people go through rush without ever discovering the good points of a sorority or fraternity. The ruhe may have a "good time" with a certain group of people, but due to the lack of time to converse with them privately and personally, he becomes a mem ber of a social organization with out ever knowving really why he joined. It is virtually impossible to form a close-knit group of people in such a brief time as our rush season. One enormous evil which re suIts from a b)rief rush is the "dlirty rushing" that is a com mon practice on this campus. Without d i r t y rush, rushees would know even less about their eventual sorority or fraternity. Blecause of the brief span of fall rush, dlirty rushing constantly goes on, paying little heed to dis 'istrous consequences if caught. Entertaining People He ing persecuted for enter laining people is not logical, sensible, or pleasant. A restric tion can c a ui s e undlersirable rudges, unfortunate situations, nd many directly aimed insults, vhich can leadl to f uir t he r rouble. At one time the present rush :)lan may have been an adlequate system, b)ut there is need of a -evision of rush procedure here it USC. The advent of heavy en 'ollment at Carolina has begun. I'he rushing system must be ad.. usted to this great new influx )f college students if the sorori ies andl fraternities are to con inue to exist, and exist In a -nstructive manner. Tom Marchant.. Americans Ignore God I understand that Slater Food management is thinking of get ting some dumb-waiters in order to increase their efficiency rat ing. . . . I think we have quite enough . . . Speaking of waiters, who are these young damsels in the yellow uniforms? . . . there's some food for thought. . . . In this world of Communist atheism, Machiavellian politics, and American materialism, I sometimes wonder a b o u t the significance of God. I wonder why, if God is Supreme, this so called Christian nation seems to be more concerned with General Motors, Revlon, and Budweiser, than with its chosen Deity. One might say that in Russia the people laugh at God; in America, people ignore Him. At least in Russia, the people dis cuss the Deity. They may curse Him or deny his existence, but they do not ignore Him. Why is the concept of God, of Immortality, of Morality no longer fit for discussion? Per haps, it is because we are no longer a talking, thinking na tion. We seem to much prefer shackling our minds to a twenty one-inch square; we s e e m to much p r e f e r a comfortable, spoonfed Classic funnybook to the richer hardback edition; be fore we will go sit through a concert we'll, sit through a good filthy movie. There seems to be an under current of thought circulating through t h i s country, that a Christian nation cannot fall. . . . I do not question the validity of this statement, but rather choose to ask myself whether I am really living in a Christian na tion. I might add that the farmer's friend and mine, Jack Kennedy, honored us with his presence last Monday afternoon . . . this will be informative only to those still immersed in the Rush Spirit, or spirits as the case may be. At any rate, Kennedy made his presence known on our State house steps. He proved once and for all his wily shrewdness by appealing to the vanity and pride of those ob serving him . . . starting out with a send off on the tradition of the Democratic p a r t y, he drifted into civil rights only to Letters to the Edito Writers Bk To the Editor: "Not so many years ago, the Conservative was lowv man on the totem pole. The very name 'Conservative' was the target of every cocktail circuit radical especially if that Conservative dIrank mint julips." Georgian voters, bucking the leadership of their state Demo cratic party, defiantly rejected pledged electors to John F. Ken nedly. T hi e Southern rebellion against the Democratic platform is swelling. Kennedy faces his greatest problem - a Southern defection. The "lean and hungry" South erners returned from a fruitless convention. T h e s e traditionally minded people faced an uncertain future. The party of their fore. fathers had ignoredl them. In fact, it had acted in blatant op p)osition to many of their time honoredl traditions. Integration in 1963 By 196,3 all school dlistricts were to a u bmi i t a plan for desegregation. T h e treasured Right to Work principle was to he outlawed. A federal Fair Em ployment Practice Commission was to be estab)lished to hire without discrimination employees for businessmen. In Congress their representa tives were forced to vote Repub lican to prevent passage of a minimum wage law which would require struggling Piedmont farmers to pay a dollar and twenty-five cents an hour for hired help. Again joining with the Repub licans, they blocked a bill which wvould have introduced socialized medicine to the country. With their leaders apologetically en dorsing the Democratic candi dates divorced from the party platform, many of the Southern ers became obnoxiously Indiffer ent. They began to Ignore the 'Little Mar "Little Man on Campus" C is here!

C.; his friends; and his professors. You'll go with him on dates, visit his fraternity house, and struggle through classes with him. Produced by the Bibler Feature Service of Monte rey, California, "Little Man on Campus" tells the story of misadventure on a college campus that could well be our University. We have an idea that Worthal's trials and tribulations will seem familiar to Carolina stu dents. Worthal, loyal member of the Sigma Phi Nothing Fra ternity, I i v e s in constant disregard for the calculating Prof. Snarf and even for the easy-going Dean Bel lows. However, he does hold high regard for the two co eds he dates most of ten Louise, the beautiful soro rity girl, and Freda, the not so-beautiful sorority girl. In all his activity, Worthal is advised by his friends Coonskin, the gullible grouch, and Ed, his pipe smoking fraternity brother. drift back out, having said in effect, nothing. He then mentioned his running mate-Johnson-the South's bul wark of strength . . . and even tually, having praised John C. Calhoun, a post - Revolutionary figure, Kennedy' proceeded to liken himself to this great states man . . . all in all, it was a very disappointing a n d uninforming speech, directed toward the ob server's emotions, instead of his intellect. No one s h o u l d complain though, for everyone got a little Kennedy hat or button or sticker . . . everyone's curiosity w a s satisfied, and a few were en tertained . . . and all for free. Thought for the Day-Sophis tication is the process by which one becomes bored with the good things in life. r . .. ist Democrats, Southern D)ilemma The young agressive state Re publican p a r t y exploited the a Southern dilemma. A parade of 01 important Republicans c r i a - v< crossed onr section. Richard M. V Nixon, the Vice President of the T United States, Sen. Barry Gold- e water, the great leader of the Republican right w i n g ; and Frederick Mueller, the Secretary of Commerce, offered impressive d facts. The South had gained in the regional aggregate income fronm a: 41 andl a half billion in 1952 to g 60 billion in 1960. Inflation had been held to 10%, compared with a 40% increase in inflation dur ing the 'Truman administration. n In a critical age when we are h engaged in a life and death struggle wvith an ambitious ad versary, the 13 billion cost of the Kennedy welfare promises were calledl lavish and impossible. It had been implied that John F. 1 Kennedy, living in the shadow of the great Franklin Delano I Roosevelt, wants to cure a non existant depression. Welfare Programg Speaking of Kennedy's welfare program, Gr e gg Shorey re marked: "Some of these Demo crats, I believe, if their constit..0 uients w e r e cannibals, would promise thenm missionaries for din ner." t Reciting their defense of the ,a Right to Work laws and their t opposition to FEPC, t h e Re- g publicans have made a grandiose ti appeal to dissident Southerners. Even in integration they can d show that their policy of going through the courts is slower and far more expensive to the NAA- g CP than that of legislative en actment demanded by the Demo crats. P o I i t i c a I sophistication is n spreading from the urban thinker and low country planter to every s< ction of the old onfederacy. t 1' Comes To Iften Worthal is also seen rith Rugpad, the beatnik tudent who plays Mozart n bongo drums.
