At present, the Methodists form the second larg est religious group on campus. Leading this organization is the Methodist Chaplain, the Rev. Don Bundy. To most students, Rev. Bundy is known as Don, a person with whom you can sit down and talk to about almost any subject. Full-time chaplain for the past three years, Don came to Carolina from a pastorate in the Rock Hill district. The current topic of conversa tion among Methodist students is the new Methodist Center at 728 Pickens St. This center, which is almost completed, contains a chapel, eating facilities and rec reation and group discussion rooms. The Methodist Center is now located in Lieber College on the Horseshoe. On Saturday, Nov. 4th, students will assist with the moving into new headquarters. All who wish to help are asked to meet in front of Lieber College at 9:00 that Saturday morning. The Wesley Foundation, accord ing to Chaplain Bundy, is "cen tered around worship."

This program includes eating a com mon meal, participating in a wor ship period, and studying a paper rehrted to the theme. This semes tt:r, the part of the theme being studied is "Man and His Existen tial Situation." This group is now composed of ten members, who keep the discus sion on a high level.

Students Foi BY CATIIIE DUTTON ANI) ELLEN HORTON is USC lacking in school spirit? Most will agree that we could usc a little more enthusiasm in all phases of Carolina life. A fe% students were asked for ideas or how to boost school morale. The "Ollowing are their suggestions: Sandra Buckwalter, a junior rom*011 Columbia, suggests morc week-end activities on campus sc that more people would stay here, Ronald Leon, a sophomore frorr Jackson, Miss., said, "Cheerlead. ers should lead cheers more ofter during games and keep up th4 cheering, even though the tean sometimes seems defeated. Cheer ing should be at pertinent points of the game, such as when th< team needs an exceptional play instead of only when the team iF ..llSI'. Lpl C..N u,tan.SaIam.

Veteran performers, they entertain at all nome gaies and recently ap peared at Athens, Georgia, for the USC-Georgia game. The music se Offer Soli Hit-Or-M successful, as has been the past policy." Ruthie Gerstel, a freshman from Miami. Fla., said, "Carolina spirit is better than I had expected, but it needs improvement. It is better here than at some other state universities, where very little cheering is done." )avid Gaitt, a sophomore from olumhia, believes that Carolina needs more opportunities and facilities for mass meetings and that more publicity should be pro cured for all activities. He feels that many activities are unsup ported because students do not learn of them in advance. Judy Arant, a biology major frim l'ageland, S. C., considers strorng backing of Pep Club the most important factor in retain ing school spirit. "'Yogi" M1erek, wvho hails from Clemson, S. C., is rather preju dicedl and favors more all-out sup port of the freshman team, who recently stomped the Tigers. Art Venable, from Columbia and Tokyo. says, "I dlon't like unsports mainlike cheers, like the one about umI:ble play.' I want to watch a game at an exciting point, instead ot cheering." L.inda Fullman, a freshman romn Aiken, S. C., says, "I think fresh men need to learn the cheers, unI& upperclassmen could set a w,tter example by cheering more."

"'h(eileaders are to coordinate SpirAt - - they cal't instill it. We have become lackadaisical about cariiying forth the spirit of the Carolina Community, of which we have been so proud." "The Pep Club can be the back bone of sp)irit, but true spirit must come from within the students. I 've never been happier about spuirit than at the Duke game.

"Charles Car ter of Florida State University has arranged some made-to-order selections for the USC band." Marching band is only one-half of the yearly training program. A, the conclusion of football sea Sun. emphasis is placed on con cert music. The band is planning a two-day tour again this spring, during which six or eight high school concerts will be given. Cli maxing this tour will be a special p)erformance given for Carolina students and those living in the greater Columbia area. Band practice :. held each Mon day. Tuesday, and Thursday eve ming. Stross is placed on precision and uniformnity of marching ma 1uverns, which the director feels is mPst essential and, incidentally, difficu!t to achieve. The Marching Gamecocks em pl(y a high knee step for their 1erforiance and their basic style of inarhin,- is pageantry, in which m 2 and figures are formed. I prfer a combination of preci drill and pageantry," said M. Pr.,chard. "However, our for a:aio and precision drills are hiwat liited due to the Csize. onimenting on the . ;A entrance onto the field, diirittr said, "We are trying dtvelop a different style other n a running entrance, which proved ineffective for us. I .t V!. however, that getting the band on the field quickly is of pimeI o importance." Brass and percussion instru nants are the backbone of the marcihing hand. Some woodwind players take up) other instru ments to improve the outdoor sotund. F"or example, onei bassonist pl~'aying the baritone horn while anot her is playing horns. The band's repertoire consists of applroixtnately 40 selections. Six or eight different numbers may be adlded during the week. Mlr.

Approximately $12o is invested in each band unjfifrmz and over $100 in each cmustomt-made Coquette outfit. A larger band membership is one otf Mr. Pritchard's main ob jectives. "If only I had forty more miembers." he said. "However, I teel that the quality of the band this ye'ar is better than in previ ous ones." Cost of uniforms and of stu (lent s' meals during pre-school training is covered by the Athletic Association. No scholarships are available on the basis of band or (oquette membership, or as a solo twirler. However, some mem h'ers with outstanding high school records are able to qualify for an academic scholarship. Five students hold assistantships and help) the director with various jobs. D)rum major of the Marching Gamnecocks is Don Clary of Co lumbia, and solo twirler is Bren JTohrnston from Hartsville, S. C. C'harles Gratch f r o m North Charleston is the student conduc tor. The librarian is Robert Bloom of Columbia and Sandra Whitfield of West Columbia serves as secre tary. Concerning the future, Mr. Pritchard said, "I'm very optimis tic about the band's future, and I know it will grow. I am concerned about how long this growth will take since we are competing with schools that offer band scholar ships."
