Student Senate Minutes November 27, 1961 The regular meeting of Student Senate was called to order by President John Chappell. The roll was called and the minutes were approved as published. COMMITTEE REPORTS: State Student Legislature Committee; Jimmy Truesdale, chairman of the Carolina delegation to the State Student Legislature, announced that the 1961 session will be held November 80-December 2. He said he is hoping for a profitable meeting. OLD BUSINESS: Student Faculty Committee Appointments: President Chappell announced that the Student Faculty Committee will hold its first meeting Monday, December 4, at 4:30 p.m. in Russell House Assembly Room. Thereafter the committee will hold a weekly luncheon meeting at 1:00 in Russell House. The following people were appointed to the com mittee: Joe Major, Brenda Williams, Howard Hellams, Mike Sheheen, Doug Gray, Herb Adams, Bob Plunkett, and Sarah Krebs. Mike Sheheen gave a report on the Greater University Fund Drive. He explained to the Senators that the fund is attempting to raise a total of $21 million for scholarships, library volumes, and clerks, professorships, and research fellowships. He then asked for the support of ihe members of Student Senate for a student particiLion program for this drive. Jimmy Truesdale moved that Student Senate go on record as supporting the Greater University Fund. The vote was unanimous in favor of support. Lou Ingram came before Student Senate to make a re port about the University Players. The University Players has canceled its production of TWO BLIND MICE which was to have opened tomorrow night (November 28) for a run of five nights in Drayton Hall. The decision was made with deliberation, but was mani festly necessary due to various handicaps under which the production has labored since its inception. The Players was depreciated by approximately $50.00 in the late venture, other expenditures being entirely recoverable pending a subsequent production. Such a production is planned to open early in the second semester, with the initial phases getting under way in the immediate future. There are, however, lessons to be learned from this dis aster, and we hope that you will cooperate with us in ex tracting the most out of what would otherwise be a total loss. Dr. Fellers and I do not feel that this is the time for a free-for-all discussion of the matter as there are certain University Administrative interests involved in this prob lem. We have put our finger on some real problems in ac tivity planning, but in anticipation of a final solution which may, indeed must, benefit the campus, we do not wish to relate the problems without an attending proposed solution. In this particular regard, I' urge your cooperation and confidence. There are some general problems which I will generally describe: (1) Irresponsible attitude in some quarters. (2) Use of Drayton Hall curtailed under a philosophy that first things first means the maintenance of buildings before building use. (3) This means the Yale Drama Festival Plans are out, but our other plans are still under way. Student interest: Does this mean there is none? We don't frankly know, but if there is none, it is vital that a program of this kind is vital to the educational climate of our campus. Howard Hellams made the following resolution: WHEREAS, the men's intramural athletic program has been so successful, and WHEREAS, there is no organized athletic program for the young ladies of the campus, be it therefore RESOLVED, that the Student Senate establish a girls' Intramural athletic committee as a permanent committee of student government to organize a suitable program of athletics for the remainder of this year and to be em powered to begin planning a full scale women's athletic program for the school year, 1962-1963. This resolution was passed unanimously. Appointed to the committee were Beth Stuckey, Mary Kearns, Carol Lawson, Laney Bald win, Miriam Rhame, Hlelen Timmerman, and Glenda Earl. Ernest Willis moved that the WUS committee be re activated to clear up any misunderstanding that may have occurred last year. This motion was passed. Appointed to this committee were: Molly Drayton and Howard Petty man. There being no further business, the meeting was ad journed.

Meyer, well known jour nalist, lecturer and book review editor of the "National Review," will speak at the University Tuesday, Dec. 12, at 7:30 p.m. Meyer's address, "Leaders and Leadership in the 1960's," is the third of six lectures presented by the USC Department of International Studies in the series "The Quest for World Security: the 1960's." Once active in radical movements and formerly an important member of British Communist circles, Meyer was familiar with many of the figures who later became prominent in international Communist move ments. He later broke away from the Communists and is now one of the outstanding spokesmen of the new conservatism. His book, "The Moulding of Com munists: The Training of the Com munist Cadre," is based on his ex perience and insights found in his intimate relationship with the Com munists. The book describes in detail the way in which Communist cadres are created, trained and directed.

Ferris, a member of the faculty of the USC Department of Electrical Engineer ing in the college.

In addition, cadets who go through the instruction program prior to entering the service usually are more successful in completing training than cadets who have not been ex posed to FIP. This is the fifth year the Air Force has enrolled its cadets in FIP, which is strongly endorsed by the Air Training Command charged with p)ilot training programs. Cadets in FIP will fly a total of 35 hours in single engine, private aircraft, including 20 hours of dual instruction and 15 solo hours. In structors are pilots of Federal Avia tion Agency-approved flying instrue tion schools. Also, all cadets receive 36 hours of ground school instruction from Air Force rated officers asigned as members of the AFROTC detach ment staff. Ground school includes Instruction in weather, navigation and1 Civil Air Regulations. The Flying Instruction Program was authorized by Public Law 879. 84th Congress and began its first four-year operational period in 1957. The program has been reviewed each year by Congress. Successful in predicting pilot aptitude and desire, the program has this year been authorized for another four-year period, with an nual review. y Will Pu rt South C "Okatie" (or "Okeetee"), Ch6ettw for water.

USC Midshl Aviation F Forty Naval ROTC midshipmen from the University have returned to the campus after an aviation in doctrination field trip Nov. 22-25 to the U. S. Naval Air Station at Pensacola, Fla. During the Pensacola visit the midshipmen were given a flight briefing and bailout training before flying in Navy T-34 jets. The stu dents also toured the USS Antietam. Lt. Comdr. W. H. Kernan of Columbia was officer in charge of the USC group.

The American Name Society and the International Onomastic Society (Belgium) have published articles praising "Names in South Carolina" for its interesting and unusual method of preserving the region's place-names. Editor Neuffer has addressed local groups on the subject of names, and last year presented a paper on "Names" at the anntial meeting of the South Atlantic Modern Language Association. This year Prof. Neuffer was guest speaker at the annual convention of the S. C. Librarians' Association at Charleston. The editor seeks information con cerning the origin of these names: Pooshee Plantation (Berkeley County), Marsh Creek (Greenvi!e County), Horse Hole (Beaufort), Varennes (Anderson), Highland Homes (Laurens).
