A House I Basketball Coach Bob Stevens and his Fighting Gamecocks ended their home seaon Friday night, February 9, 1962, againtist the University of Maryland, and 1wOee outstanding seniors - Art Whisnant, Ild Cronin, and Bobby Robinson - along with two other seniors -- ,Joe Laird, and H>b Rebhan - ended their home court tTreCA'. Stidents and fans got a chance this year to C: a type of basketball that has never en i ened here before. This is Stevens' third ye' r as heai ccach. but in the opinion Snuoy, t W ulrrent skason is his best pro uenn. Carol ina i now playing fast bas hienc proves to be exciting for the i !id alm,t indefensible for the lg he traiduating seniors, it is .11 - Ii f, them is selliors. They have wiuer Stvens during their col h n r. adn'lui optrate his "continuity 'hwiessly. They have paced the sv v G;amcocuks all season, and a standing ovation by the capacity Field House crowd Friday night. proved the apprecia tion of the fans. Carolina's won-lost record now stands at 1:2- (wit ithe exception of Tuesday night's game), and this is the best record since the (la.s of the incomparable All-America Grady Wallace. to Slevens and his basketball team, we woul< like to say thanks for a great home season. It has increased school spirit to no end, and has certainly increased basketball interest on our campus and over the State of South Carolina. As an example of the increased state in terest, the following resolution was passed by the State Ilouse of Representatives, and was read to Stevens and his basketball team be fore the Maryland game Friday.

Religious, wch "rt :n Political O' Thoughts M88 HIS country has made extra et- ordinary advances in the last ni- fifty or sixty years; perhaps more W in this short period of time than in all the previous years totaled together. Paradoxically, however, there seems to be an undercurrent in- of dissention that seems deter nd mined to obliterate and dismantle t the very mainspring of our coun try's tremendous advancements. et- This dissention can be at tributed to, for the most part, two et- sources: Antiquated religious be he liefs and radical political thought. Wt The church, which has made un or- deniable advances, still refuses to W concede the fact that man is a rational animal who does not have to be "spoon fed" and led by the hand to avoid or circumspect the rO- evil in the world. Religion is a necessity for a fruitful life, but nd religion is supposed to run parallel to to life; not consume and devour it with dogmatism and opinionated ' tenacity that is almost in direct Of contradiction with the principles X- that made this country what it is ve today. In other words, one should drink religion; not drown in it! a N THE other hand, however, to perhaps the brunt of the at hn tribution belongs to the political t8 trends of today and the near past. All right, liberalism! ne Why should a man apologize for having the incentive, the ability, tth and the dispatch that it takes to make money legally to another man who wallows in the squalor of self-pity, who has no incentive or ability, and who is satisfied just to exist, whose only purpose is to sit on his posterior and ar tw rogate the praise that is due the creative man. It is a basic law of economics iat that the more valuable a service up a man has to offer, the more he SC- should be reimbursed for it. Yet, ina recent political trend has been to of abjure this theory and conjure a is new one that in effect states that a man should contribute his best ted to society but should receive no for more than anyone else. He should na- do this to prove that he is human, lso and above all that he has no for prejudices whatsoever. lec pen OME people actually think that ted S this is the panacea for all of society's ills, this self-immolation, our but the ominous signs are irrepu 'sed table. If we use outdated religion has principles and radical political iith thought to emasculate our crea ent tive talent, the repercussions will res be felt for years to come. rith In conclusion, religion is an ad hile mirable trait in any society, but nce it must progress as the times do. the The Status Quo is certainly no at- wvay to advance or improve so this ciety, as far as politics is con of cerned; but we must not adhere ad- to radical thought that is self dlestroying. We must do away for- with subjective religious and ion political thoughts, and dlevelop a and positive philosophy that can truly rent dlistinguish between virtue and the evil and not confuse the issue with extraneous and unrealistic ear, principles. co- ---_______ om rns for CROWING FO Lion IUNIVERSITFY OF Member of Associa tor, Founded January 30, 1908,w the the University of South Carolina we year except on holidays and durn, The The opinions expressed by col of necessarily those of "The Canect Letters to the Editor, but all Lette ver- not constitute un endorsement.

Many feel that this method would not only be more objective, but also more Interesting. A S you have perhaps gathered, the Student Senate is widely divided on the Seminar issue. Since there are many opponents to the idea, we are trying to deter- I mine what the people feel by hav ing a special open meeting of Student Senate next Monday at I five o'clock. We not only invite but urge any interested students to come to this meeting and ex-t press their idleas. If you are un able to make the meeting, I should like to invite you to write me ort the Editor of "The Gamecock." One last thing Is that without the full support of the Student Body the Seminar will be a com plete failure. If you do feel that you would be interested in attend ing a group) of programs on Com munism, please let us know. A secondI project involves the spring football game to b)e played on March 9.

An early-bird handyman had removed the acces sories to install a new floor, he explained. G;racious friends in a neighbor ing apartment offered their faeili ties to the bewildered student so the D)aily Kansan reported. * * * A question was recently raised in a Texas Christian University government class concerning a famous court dispute settled a few years ago. The professor referred i his class to an article in a legalt reviewv saying that it was the best dliscussion of the case he knew of. I lie finished up by saying, "I wrote it." * * * From LSU's D)aily Reveille come these quoted edigraphs: Statistics show that a pedestrian( is hit by an automobile every 30 secondls.

This year Block has been generous enough to hare the profits from the gec vith a special scholarship fund. T IE Federal Government has initiated a program by which he University can receive large imounts of money for its loan pro tram. To be more specific, the Jniversity can receive $250,000 in ederal money if it is able to natch this with $25,000. Raising his money is a challenge to the nutire student body. Such a large ederal grant wvith no strings at ached will allow many students to receive the money nLeeed to go to chool. We feel that attending this gamq vill be a great means of increas ng school spirit. We will not only iave the opportunity of supporting )ur football team but also be able o' contribute to the betterment of a&rolina& as a whole since part of hew money will go to the loan pro SCorner ore you (o.
