The Uni It has come to the attention of "The Gam cock" that an organization for which we ha much esteem has recently been, to our wt of thinking, discriminated against. The allocation of WUSC-AM has been c from 35 cents per student to 26. Why? WUSC has been working to remedy con< tions that prevent their signal from reac ing certain parts of campus. The conditio were not created by WUSC. The facts a that the station needs a much stronger trar mitter to reach the new buildings whose stE structures ground out the signal. Is the c ting of allocations going to help build a nc transmitter? The radio station is a close-knit group hard-working people. They are dedicated the principles of good radio. Their reco collection has been carefully culled from t offerings of many top name labels. In t classical music field, their collection su passes any in the Southeast. Much of the equipment has been rigg from second-hand materials by an extremc fine engineering staff. All of it has been i stalled by the staff. The equipment a records of the station have been evaluated over $18,000.

The station was founded in ie 1946 under the direction of Mackie Quave, ty of WIS fame. It is a training ground for students who ut wish to enter the radio-TV field. There is no course taught at Carolina in radio work. In fact there is no school in South Carolina li- that offers courses in radio journalism. h- Over the years WUSC has contributed as many persons to professional radio and TV re work. Among these graduates of WUSC are s- Charlie Morris and Bill Hay who now work e1 with South Carolina Educational TV. Bill it- formerly worked with WIS, and WNOK. w Jack Wood and Robert Glymph are with WIS. Dave Bledsoe worked with WCOS, of WMSC, and WIS in Columbia, and is pres to ently with KHOG radio and TV in Fayette rd ville, Arkansas. The list could go on and on. he The argument against WUSC is that it he (oes not reach everybody. It must be realized ir- that as opposed to many college stations, WUSC is carried over lines. In other words, ed a line must be strung to each and every build ly ing the station reaches. It must compete - ith five downtown stations with much nd stronger signals carried over airwaves. at WUSC formerly reached the entire cam pus; it could and should do so again. The )le station must. have money. Of Carolina no ing many different organizations. is- People group with others who are in ni- terested in the same thing*. One person may be a member of a social fraternity, the Y, es Student Council, and a professional fra ir- ternity. Another may be a member of another ed social fraternity, the newspaper staff, a re x- ligious group, and the University Players. y- Both may belong to the same school, thus giving them a tie. Or the tie might be in ad religion, or the football team; or they might is- both be from the same hometown. w- The spirit of Carolina is an intricately woven thing. Its nonexistence is loudly pro ry claimed, but just watch it take hold when ly someone from another school starts running id Carolina down. We do it ourselves, but watch n- it, buddy! i Of Praise .y It seems as if some satisfactory method of n. mailing out cards to town students could be ;s, found.

Several questions were posed about the "Gamecock" during a re cent discussion between a girl friend and myself. The main ques tion that we would like cleared up was posed in reference to "Little Man On Campus." Just who was the lady in the cartoon talking to? We didn't want to sound ignorant but there doesn't seem to be any one in the car. If there is, what are they doing? Sincerely, Two Maxey Occupants Ed.: Maxcv ain't what it used ito be! To the Editor: Last month the free world read a smug manifesto that declared the Communist system is bound to win inl peace over capitalism "by the force of its example." The statement was part of a 10, 000-word document, issued at a re cent meeting of the world's Com munist leaders in Moscow, which said that war is not inevitable and that Communism can win out over the capitalist West in peaceful co existence. How Christian such sentiments seem. For aren't peace and good example the secret Christ taught us by His life on earth to be the key to persuasion? Who is benefiting by I His lesson now? While we retain the truth in our minds, we are sur- I rendering the means of spreading i so smug. If the truths we hold I that truth to Christ's enemies. Christians cannot afford to be seem worn and uninteresting, it is because we are not living them. We have lost sight of what we believe I in. We must return to simple things and the beginning of a new year is an excellent time to do so. - As a nation, we go without a cause to help people who are look ing for more than a handful of sur plus wheat. These down-trodden q nations, which hold the future bal- r C ance of world power and maybe the survival of civilization itself, are studying the ways advanced nations deal with the complex spiritual r problems of civilization. Is it because of our separation of church and state that we go t empty-souled? No, because the very philosophy that is behind separa- '] tion of church and state also exalts the individual and the dignity of his beliefs. Our difficulty lies in the fact that we attempt to separate the religious and the practical man within ourselves - something that can never he done without harm to one or both. r The dollar is weak, and we arej cutting back our aid programs. It r. is time for us to realize that men, a not money, wvill win men to the r Christian cause. TIhere is no more n p)oint in aiding a poor country with- s out personal love than there is in tI giving a Christmas present except tI as a sign of love.

In 1908, Robert Elliott Gonzales founded the wi aper and became its first editor. he Gonzales, one of the leading students at Carolina, came rom a distinguished newspaper family. His father, his ho -randfather, and two uncles were widely known journalists. ua le gained a national reputation as an editorial writer for th, 'The State" when he was only 28 years old. But his career, tic iromising as it was, was short-lived. In 1916, he went to It ,l Paso as a private in the fight against Pancho Villa, who tn iad raided Columbus, New Mexico. Gonzales contracted foi ineumonia there and died. His friends and members of the bri >ress paid tribute to him at the services at Trinity Epis opal Church here. th! The Gonzales family extended credit for the first print- ne ng of "The Gamecock." The two literary societies, Clario- inj ophic and Euphradian, agreed to back the paper. As the tic oung gentlemen of Carolina had developed a Pastime of tealing chickens from the professors' homes, one l>rofessor ne emarked, "May 'The Gamecock' survive longer than any un hicken I have been able to keel) on campus." It has stir- de: ived both the chicken and the professor. all "The Gamecock" has served the students of Carolina for ver a half a century. It has grown over the years and now ne eaches nearly 6,000 persons. It is read by state officials, be lumni, friends, persons in other cities and states, and tic though sometimes we wish otherwise) by the faculty and At he administration. en "The Gamecock" continues "CROWING FOR A BET- th 'ER CAROLINA." to knthony E.

This wasn't en true in 1861. Ihese and other misconceptions ve been strengthened by so called >jective" national magazines and pers. These misconceptions are only unfair and untrue but are tacles to a better understand r of the South. It is difficult for one not born the South to understand its cus ns, its problems, and its way of a; but annihilation of these mis iceptions would he a step in the ,ht direction. The South has much to offer the ;t of this country. Its heritage, 6ich is more of a burden than a ritage, is unique. The South is the last real strong Id of conservatism and individ lism in this country. These are ! qualities upon which this na n was founded and grew strong. is vital that we return to these Lditions which we have deserted * conformity and a disastrous ind of liberalism. The South is the only section of s country ever to know the bitter 3s of defeat in war and the crush r humiliation of military occupa n.
