The Case re With the announcement that the 169th Fighter Squadron of the Congaree Air Na tional Guard was to be activated to full-time status, many a heart sank here at Carolina. Over 700 men from this area are affected directly. Many people in the Carolina Com munity were affected, too. Some are losing husbands, fathers, brothers, and "steadies" to the cold war. Some of these husbands, fathers, etc., are Carolina students - about 80 of them as a matter of fact. These students will have to give up their schooling . . . their part-time jobs . . . their fraternities . . . their sports cars . . . their positions of leadership on campus . . . their friends . . . their athletic eligibility . . . all on a temporary basis, but even this is bad enough. Though it may be an old issue, we will still argue against taking students out of school, particularly in the early stages of this recent mobilization program. I do not feel that war in Berlin is so near as to de prive thousands of American undergraduates of their educational opportunities. Especially when you consider the "driftwood" roaming the streets of this and every other city. Clothes Malk In the very near, future, a representative of a large national men's clothing manufac turer will be on campus. In conjunction with "The Gamecock" and one of Columbia's finest men's shops, this man will hold a series of informal talks on the importance of diressing right. This will not be a "pitch" for any brand of clothes or for the local store. This man has held similar "forums" at the University of Kentucky and many other Southern col leges and universities, with great response. Also, this will not. be a fashion show, with the sole purpose being to have the latest fall merchandise put on display. Instead, our guest will simply speak to interested male students on the importance of being well-dressed, both now and after graduation. In my opinion, Carolina needs this kind of speaker. Our University as a whole is not a well-dressed one. This is not to say that everyone must wear yellow shirts and weejuns. These are fine for those who like them. Also, it is not en tirely necessary to be Ivy League to be well dressed, even though the Ivy style suits, etc., No More On this page last week there appeared a column written by one Pat Clayton, one of our regular editorial columnists. Mr. Clay ton prefers to write articles in the political vein, which dloesn't offend the editor at all. This column aittempted to report the fallacies in the newest political organization at Carolina, the Young Americans for Free (doin. On this page today is a "Letter to the Editor" which attempts to point up the fallacies in Mr. ('layton's column. In all p)robability, both arguments wvould hold a substantial amount of the proverbial water. Hlowcver, some letters dlealing with the same subject were re.iected by this depart ment, because they did not attempt to criticizte constructively.

We cai say that this is not the spirit of Americal patriotism, but will we say this when ou unit is activated? However, the decision is not ours. Th Congress has made it for us already. Wise men than I make the decisions on nationa policy, and maybe they know what they ar, doing. But it will be a while before I ca1 see the light.

Hats off to Carolina's contributions to th cause of freedom. :e The Man (1o have a more appealing and conservativ air. Our point is that there are too many Carc lina students who take no pride in the wa they look from day to day. While it is nc necessary to look like a Beau Brummel o whoever he was, a little neatness and pei sonal pride goes a long way. This also tie in with "what to wear when." As a note fo those who don't know - blue jeans and tee shirt is not considered acceptable dres for any University function, from classes t football games. A coat and tie, which doesn' have to be madras or hopsacking if you don' like it, is pretty good for all occasions. How ever, just a plain old shirt is OK for class. As our speaker will point out in a feN weeks, your dress is not only important whil you are still in school, but equally as mucl if not more so, when you begin looking for job, or when you're trying to hold on to on( As in all functions at the University, th success of the forthcoming lecture ani demonstration will depend largely on stu dent interest and support.

There are - many individuals on campus who t may try and sentence a student who steps out of bounds. Most of these individuals are members of the faculty and administration. There has long been a need for a trial body comprised of students to administer sanctions when another Charles Behling .. Student Tr To Decide As the front page of "TIhe Game cock" announces, Student Senate has unamiously voted to request the SUniversity Administration to estab lish a Student Traffic Court with authority to rule in traffic prolemns Sinvolving studlents. The purpose of the p)roposedl Court, the article continues, would be to provide a means of student appeal in matters arising from the Uni versity's traffic problem, and would further Carolina's principle of stu dent control in matters of student -discipline and honor. s F COURSE, many details must 8 hJe ironed out before the Student Court can become a reali.ty, but it is to be hoped that these problems can be quickly overcome, and that the e Court can swilng into action very a soon. At this time of increasing en s rollment and expanding physical facilities of the University, traffic s problems are at an all-time high, e and thus the necessity for quickly e devising an adeqtuate means of dis s posing of the problems is essential. .1 The present system of dlealing o with the problems is inadequate for t twvo reasons: it does not allow the e student to appeal traffic fines and - ot.her police actions; and it does not i permit the students to have a voice t Cocktails - When asked for lhis phlilosophy for longer life, alge*less Negro ' baseball pitcher Satchel Paige treplied: "D)on't never run when you c:an walk; never walk when you can stand stlU; niever stand when you can sit down; never 'sit when you can lie down; and 'don't never look back, 'cause somebody's liable to be gainin' EN YOU RE GOINC By Peers Fi zed At Ca r< -student does not act in conformity with conduct expected of a member jp of our commniunity.0 THIS need has been realized and n Tfromi it stems the Men's Judicial h Council.

The title or this year's series is "The Quest or World Security in the Sixties." he speaker was Mr. Melvin A. jonant. He is a Research Felow of the Jouncil on Foreign lelations in New (ork City, one of the nation's fore nost research organizations on inter iational affairs. [T IS not very often that students have an opportunity to hear men >f Mr. Conant's knowledge and pinions on present-day crises and nternational affairs. So rare areL hese opportunities that we should ake advantage of them all. But ve haven't and aren't taking ad rantage of those opportunities. With he world in the situation it is in oday every student at the Univer ity should be there with )cncil in iand taking notes. Every one of is here at the University is going o be affected in one way or the tier by those diiemmas, and we hould acquaint ourselvos with them LS much as possible. One of the reasons that the stu lents here at USC aren't taking an tterest and sup)poting t he s e 'golden" free opporunities is that hey aren't publized enough. An an iouncement in the "Gamecock" or a mster on the bulletin board in the tussell House is not enough. It is itterly disgusting to see 20 or 25 tudents out of an enrollment of ver 6,000 students present at these etures. To illustrate my point that made earlier about the present-day lilenuna affecting eacJh of us in ome way by one example, just this veek the Congaree Air Guard in ;olumbia was called to active duty or one year. This one instance ffected about 80 Carolina students. But just because someone doesn't ome up to you and yell the time Lnd place for these lectures in your ars is no excuse for you not to find lut about them. These series of alks by some of the world's leading igures in Interational Affairs een going on for several years. I an't believe that out of 6,000 tudents only 25 are concerned with he world's problems and crises. [ F YOU can't be convinced to at tend these lectures by telling you hat you are missing something free, hen maybe you will go if you are old that you are cheating yourself f one of your constitutional rights: he right of free assembly and the ~ight to free speech. Maybe, it is rue that the United States is losing he cold war due to the lack of iatriotismi and p)ersonal interest. I ope that this isn't true. In my own wvay I think that by aking an interest in such things uc.h as these speeches and wanting o know of your country's p)roblems Lnd what they are doing about them, 'ou are increasing patriotism so nuch that no0 one, no0 government, no orce of Power can drive it out of 'ou.
