UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA
CROWING FOR A GREATER CAROLINA
Vol. L, No. 1 ICOLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA, DECEMBER 1, 1961
iayers
Call Off
New Play
Two Blind Mice closed prior
to its opening, as the University
Players called off their first
production of the year. 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.

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.

Today
Carolina
Has Largest
Delegation
Carolina legislators and dele
gates from other South Carolina
institutions started registering
yesterday (Thursday) at 9 o'clock
in the Russell H'ouse to start the
seventh annual State Student
Legislature.
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).
Winthrop College, Woffor-d Col
lege, and the Carolina Law
School.
