Although several reasons were given for 6 the cancellation a full disclosure was made before the Student Senate. The decision was announced by Acting Director Louis Ingram and Dr. R. G. Fellers, the Fac ulty Advisor. They also drew attention to local organizations and individuals who contributed to the ill-starred enterprise: Kress's, Woolworth's, Taylor Furniture, Safran's Antiques, Town Theatre, George Horn of Columbia Outdoor Advertising, and the local news media. In that last regard particular thanks were extended to The Gamecock, Audrey Hunt - the Gal on the Go, Johnny Evans, and Joe Winter. The Players intend to stay in business and are planning a pro duction for early in the second semester. The groundwork got underway last night, and all in terested students are urged to write box 2093. The Director drew particular attention to the fact that the cancellation was not particularly relevant to the quantum of student interest, that this sort of program was important to augment the al ready well developed trade pro grams of the University. richolarship Day Will Be Held Thursday Virginius Dabney, one of the best known editors tn the nation, will be the speaker at 8 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 7, for the annual Scholarship Day and anniversary observance of Phi Beta Kappa at Carolina.

(Of Stat n Con Students I RSVP Cai The student campaign for the Greater University Fund will be kicked off this week end, in an attempt to bring the University closer to its goal in the current endowment drive. With the unanimous approval of Student Senate, members of the student committee will solicit cam pus-wide donations until Decem ber 16, deadline for the student part of the drive. Donations are to be handled on a "pledge" basis, whereby each in dividual gives according to his own desires. Payment will be made over a three-year period. For the remainder of the time a donor is in school, a portion of his pledge will be paid at the time of registration, along with other University fees. Upon graduation, he will be billed periodically for the balance of his gift. No minimum pledge and no monetary goal has been estab lished. Adherence to the pledge, once it is made, is a moral, rather than a legal, obligation to the University. Similar programs have been Notice!!

At this writing, about 175 legis lators were expected to be on hand. Carolina's delegation is the largest in the state, having 27 representatives and two senators. The Carolina Law School will also have a number of representatives and two senators on hand, as well as the five extention divisions. Student Legislature is based on the General Assembly of South Carolina, modified in order that proceedings may be carried out within time limits. The assemblies convene this morning at 9 and will adjourn late Saturday after noon. The legislative body, which has been termed "a training ground for future politicians," disgusses bills of state importance, and votes on them. Student Legisla ture bills are sometimes actually enacted later by the General As sembly. This is encouraged by the Student Legislature Journal which is printed after each session and distributed to state legislators. The Legislature was created in 1955 to give college students a voice, and is the oldest of three operating in the United States. Other states with similar organi zations are Pennsylvania and North Carolina. The program in this state is sponsored by the Elks Club. Some of the bills for the 1961 session includes bils to abolish state capital punishment, to create a dental college in the state, to allow women to serve on juries in South Carolina courts, to provide a system of scholarships for capa ble but needy college students, to require all municipalities to treat sewage that is turned into the streams, and to increase the mini mum age of driving automotive vehicles in S. C. to 16 years. In addition to Carolina, the member colleges are The Citadel, Clemson College, Coker College, College of Charleston, Columbia College. Erskine College, Presby terian College, Coastal Carolina (an extension of the University).
