Giese Am The University's Athletic Department will have a completely new look next year as Marvin Bass becomes Head Football Coach and Warren Giese devotes his full time to being Athletic Director and Head of the Physical Education Department. Coach Giese deserves the gratitude of the Student Body for his five successful years as football leader. Giese has helped to in troduce new ideas into the coaching profes sion and the success of his teams prove that his ideas have their merits. The Coach is to he admired for his new football theories and f'or his courage in sticking to them. Many approved of his theories; many did not. However, all must have a certain re spect for him because of them. Giese will now have more time to devote to the duties of Athletic Director and Head ..f the Physical Education Department. We wish him all success in his endeavors; we are quite confident of that success. We hope that. the University's athletic 1rograms will be strengthened, both the var sty 11d the intramural programs. How ever. we hope that both programs will be Carolina's T The University announced this week that. it is taking over control of R". G. Bell YMCA i Camp, which was formerly under the auspices of Carolina's YM-YWCA. This is a good move; the University, with its funds i can develop aid improve the camp to a 1 greater dlegree than LOUld the "Y." While changes in the camp are being made, and now that the changes can really 1 he significait ones. the University should try to make the camp a truly valuable part t Iof Carolina. Iost obviously, the existing housing facilities should be improved and more should be proVided for. The present cabins are in very poor condition. They should be imiproved and the iniumber of cabins should he more than doubled. The greatest benefit that this would bring would be the tremendous improvements in FresIHm:m1 "Y" Camp. Under present condi tions, the men and women have separate camp sites, the women at the Bell Camp and the boys at a Boy Scout camp that would be flattered to he called primitive. If the Bell Camp were enlarged, all the freshmen could meet together, and the men could begin their orientation in a decent camp. Also for the benefit of the Freshman campors, cooking facilities at the camp c should be provided for. Under the present 1 conditions, the freshmen must eat meals that i B. A. Fable . ..

We know that athletics are big business and that alumni and other friends of the University deserve much consideration in athletic affairs. However, the programs are primarily for the students - that fact must not be forgotten! The interests, enjoyment, and comforts of the students must be placed even above those >f the alumni and of friends. The students must be the primary concern of the Athletic Department. In addition to graditude to Giese, the stu Jents owe a tremendous welcome to the new coach, Marvin Bass. A former assistant -oach, Bass proved extremely popular (ur hig his earlier wvork at the University. And in the brief time that lie has been announce(d is the new head coach of the Gamecocks, he has already proved himself an excellent re -ruiter of new talent.

Most of us have niarched up to some crossroad in our lives; Letter To Editor Students Mob Gamecock Room To tle Editor: With the anticipated increase miient iii enrollment for next year at Carolina, University officials view the problem with alarm - miore dormitory accommodations will he required, it will he necessary for expansion of classrooms, and MoIre PIofessors will be needed. Perhalps the administration, in planning for next fall's rush of the rat hat crowd, is overlooking a :m;all but pertinent problem - the excess of students ii the upstairs snack-hr Gamecock Room. Will Ihere he room enough for socializ ing, fraternity rushing, chess play inL. indying. and even eating? Tet Cent Coke While visiting the Gamecock Room recently, I fought my way to the counter - waited for nearly a half hour, placed an order for a ten-cent coke, an-l eventually re ceived a pepsi; in the process, I was gyped of three cents and given a seven-cent drink. I soon spotted a seat, and promptly dashed to it, spilling half of my drink on a co-ed, who con mented: "And to think, I took a bath today!" While sitting down, on someone's book-, I spotted a freshman, of Yankee descent, seek ing advice on the History 11 quiz he had cut. An attractive Carolina belle informed him: "It was gross - do)n't sweat it, everybody is tak ing History 11 next semester. any way!" (:ertainuly Co-ed 'The Gamecock Room is certainly co-ed. One student commented, "It's bietter than a drive-in." He w a s contradicted, though, by another who thought there was "too much light for necking.'' How ever, there is a general agreement that the Gamecock Room is "good for making dates." A few seats down from me sat a group playing chess. My first impression wasL that the games were innocent andl honest, until I learned bets were being wagered over the matches. Wouldn't Deani Tomlin like to know about this? Actually Eating I (lid happen to notice a few peop)Ile actually eatinug -- attempt ing to gobblle the food down before lhe rush of the can-I-have-a tasters. Most of those eating were having their balanced meal for the dlay - hamburger, pepsi, french fries, and a chocolate nut sundae. With all the extra-curricular ac tivities, aside from eating in the Gamecock Room, the University faces a real problem in accommno (dating next year's flow of students into the bang-out. I would suggest get ting ridl of the upstairs cafe teria and enlarging it into the Gamecock Room - because the only p)eople eating in the upstairs cafeteria are the freshmen that wer'e "took" on the hoard plan tickets.

Worse y many of us have kown what it like, after a paralyzing wait, start down one road with the sih ing sensation that we've picked t wrong one. What makes us decide thir badly, when we "know better What is it that sometimes sta our decision-making machinery < tirely? The high-school senior w sits with his pencil wavering I tween True and False on an exai ination may be baffled by the d ficulty of the question; or he mt simply be reduced to a blue fu by the pressure of taking an exa A young woman in the throes indecision over a marriage propo. may be trying to weigh the pi and cons of a tangled life situatio or she may be panicked by t thought of marriage itself. Fooli decisions and indec.sion are t consequence not only of the coi plexity of the world about us b of the complicated crcsscurrents the world within us. There is, then, no ABC for de< sion-making, or we would all executives. But there are a fR guide lines that have helped othe and can help us. Marshal the Facts A lot of mental anguish can I avoided if we do what a go4 executive does with a problem th; can't be settled: send it back f, more data. Dale Carnegie on quoted a distinguished universi dean as saying, "If I have a pro 1em that has to be faced at thr o'clock next Tuesday, I refuse try to make a decision about it un1 Tuesday arrives. In the meantir I concentrate on getting all t) facts that bear on the problem. As b)y Tuesday, if I've got all tl facts, the problem usually solv, itself." Just gathering facts won't sols hard problems, howvever. "The poi: is to marshal them in good order says Lt. Gen. Thomas L. Harrol veteran infantry commander az nowv commandant of the Nation War College. "In the Army v~ train our leaders to draw up wh we call an Estimate of the Situ tion. First, they must know the~ objective. Unless you know whW you wvant, you can't possibly deci< how to get it. Second, we tea< them to consider alter-native meal of attaining that objective. It's nt often that a goal, military or a: other, can be realized in only oi way. Next wve line up the pros ar consl) of each alternative, as far we can see them. Then we choo the course that appears most like to achieve the results we was That dloesn't guarantee success, b it does prevent us from going o on a half-b)aked hunch that ms turn out to be disastrous." Meanwhile, beware of misusir the fact-collecting process. Som times we go on getting advice, a sembling more and more fac without coming to any clear col clusionl. We may merely be wai ing for the "right" fact to ratioi alize a decision that we have reatdy madle. An executive of a New Yo: p)lacement agency tells of a your man who couldn't make up his mir whether or not to take a job ths involved a move out of town.

With obvious relief the young ed man "reluctantly" turned the .iob ng down. et, "Actually," the placement of i, ficial comments, "it was clear that to he didn't want to move. But he had ik. to find a 'fact' to make his decision he respectable in his own eyes." When we reach this point, it is gs time to stop faet.-collcCtinq. "? 1Us Cmnsult Yoir Feelings n- Psychiatrist Theodore Reik once ho asked Sigmund Frmud about an )e- important decision he had to make. 11- "I can only tell you (f my personal if- experience," Freud replied. "When Ay making a decision of minor im ik portance, I have always found it a. advantageous to consider all the of pros and cons. In vital matters. al however, such as the choice of a os mate or a profession, the decision n; should come from within our he selves. In the important decisions sh of our personal life, we should be he governed, I think, by the deep inner k1- needs of our nature." Ut We can usually tell when a de of cision accords with our inner na ture: it brings an enormous sense - of relief. Good decisions are the )e best tranquilizers ever invented; w bad ones often increase our mental I's tension. When .we have decided something against the grain, there is a nagging sense of incompletion, a feeling that the last knot has >e not been pulled out of the strinr. it The Right Time >r The old maxim that we should 2e sleep on big decisions is based on by the fact that our behavior is af b- fected by our passing moods. ee Ev'eryone knows that the boss is to more likely to make lenient deci il sions when he's in a goodl mood, Ie andl that it's no time to ask him le for a raise wvhen he comes into the Id office glowering. We do well to ie take account of' our emotional es temperatures before we put im p)or'tant decisions onl our own? deCsks. ie We should know when not to it make a decision.

Decision the same as indecision. As Chester I. Barnard, one-time vice-president of the American Telephone & Tele graph Co., put it in a book on busi ness leadership, "The fine art of executive decision consists in not deciding questions that are not now pertinent, in not deciding prema turely, in not making decisions that cannot be made effective and in not, making decisions that others should make." Many of the most involved and difficult decisions are best not "made," but allowed to ripen. Facts accumulate, feelings gradually jell and, as Barnard says, other people take a hand in the situation. By holding ourselves back we give complicated situations a chance to work themselves out - and some times we save ourselves a great deal of exhaustine and useless brain-cudgeling. Yu (4m Make It Flexible Too many of us find decisions painful because we regard them as final and irrevocable. "Half the difficulties of nir," Somerset Maugham has written, "lie in his desire to answer every question with yes or no. Yes or no may neither of them be the answer; each side may have in it some yes and sOmie no." There is much more "give" in most decisions than we are aware (if. Franklin D. Roesevelt was a great believer in making flexible decisions. "He rarely got himself sewed tight to a program from which there was no turning back," his Secretary of Labor, Frances Perkins, once observed. "We have to (1o the best we know how at the moment," he told an aide. "If it doesn't turn out all right, we can modify it as we go along." Tie iiam Ingredient In making ge'nuinely 'big deci shuns, we must, lie prepared to standi a sense of loss as well as gain. A studlent wvho hesitates be twecen a lifetime as a teacher or as a businessmian, a talented young girl trying to make up her mind betweeni marriage and a career -- both face choices in which sacrifice is inivolved, no mal(tter what theyi do. It helpus to talk such decisions over' with others -not only because raiother's opinion may illumine aspects of the dilemma that we may have missed, but because in the process of talking we sort out and clarify our own thoughts and feelings. After this, meditation, reflection - letting the problem stew in its own juice - can also help. But In the end, after talk and thought, one final ingredient is essential. It is courage. "One man with courage makes a majority," said Andrew .Jackson, andl this was never more true than in the election of our minds, where the one vote we east is the deciding one. ON CAMPUS
