Carolina Student November 21, 1960 The regular meeting of Student Council was called to order by President Mike Quinn. The roll was called and the min utes approved as read. COMMITTEE REPORTS: Mike Adair presented the following report of the Fire In vestigating Committee: At the recommendation of Council the committee inter viewed certain faculty and administrative heads in the hopes of acquiring suggestions for improving fire safety condi tions on campus. This list includes Dean Tomlin, Chief Bundrick, Mr. Barnes, Dean Clotworthy and Fire Chief Marsh. The status of fire safety on campus according to Mr. Barnes is as follows: The fraternity Quadrangle, Buildings H1 an(d J, Wade Hampton, Sims, McCliintock aid Preston are of ficially termed fireproof. This status includes the building only and not the furniture and )ersonal possessions within. The tenements and Maxey are of woodlen interior construc tion and therefore constitute a hazar(d. These buildings to gether with the fireproof ones are protected by automatic individual srinkler systems. Setting off one of these sprinklers triggers an alarm at the fire headquarters in downtown Columbia. The maintenance de)artment. in cool)eration with housing are responsible to see that all precautions are taken to clear hallways and rooms of unnecessary combustibles. The fire extinguisher and other safety devices are periodically inspected to assure every possible safety to stu dents. The University is fortunate in having an alert and highly capable fire department located within a mile of campus. It has been brought to the attention of the committee that our close relations with this agency have been nearly severed by an unfortunate violation of courtesy iml)osed upon the fire men while performing their duty by university students. A resolution will be presented later to Council with the hope of menlding these relations. The suggestions discussed are are follows: A. Fire drill possibility: All campus heads interviewed, with the exception of Dean Clotworthy, agreed that the idea of organizing fire drills is highly impractical. They felt that: (1) All male students couldi never be grouped satisfactorily anl (2) the attempt at an organized fire drill wouldl not be regarded seriously by students. Dean Clotworthy favored the drills for girls and further action will he taken through her office. n. The circulation of precautionary literature: The inter viewed parties agreed unanimously that the ptublication of an instruction sheet through proper channels could instill wvithin students an awvareness of the dangers involved and present to them suitable instructions to folloV in a fire crisis. Jimmy Truesdale gave a progress report on the Commit tee on Student Workers' Meal Tickets. The )url)Ose of the committee is to )ropose a fair method for Slater System stu dent workers to exchange their ninety-cent meal tickets for cash. One of the committee's proposal is that Student Union Committee appoint an authorized person to buy the tickets from the studlent workers at seventY-five or eighty cents and then to sell them to interested persons. Larry Barringer p)resentedI the following report: The list of student body officers, representatives and class officers was obtained from the se cretary, Vasiliki Moskos. The University Press p)rinted the list for $11.75 and the 'op)ies were (list ributed to the p)ost olffice boxes andl the re maindler given to Russell Ho0use Intornmatio 101Desk for (dis trcibut ion at requLest. The commni ttee wvould Iikew to recommendl "that the results of t he Sprinig Elect ions be i ncludled in the Stud( ent D)irectory Sin the future." Bobby Mitchell repo rtedl t he Stundent Goveriinment Evalua ion (Com mittece has comp)letedl a questioninai re which will be (list ribuited to the student body. It is hop e(l that the ques tio0nnra ire will be pri ntedI in the "'Ga fmecck" < before it is sent out to the students.

This game should serve some in dication of just how well the varsity will fare this season with its ap i:parent lack of height. The varsity has only one man over 6-4 - Dave Prevoznik, a (-6 sophomore. The reslhmen, on the other hand, have several men who top the 6-4 mark, namely: David B a r r e t t, 6-5, Thomas Caughman, 6-6, and Al Thiry, 6-7.
