USC Lo You would be surprised at the number of Carolina students who have to borrow money in order to complete their education. It is often hard for students, or anyone for thai matter, to borrow the needed finances. Mosi colleges offer some sort of a loan fund thai makes this task easier for the needy student. Carolina has such a service. It is operated under the auspices of the National Defense Loan Fund, and anyone, who proves worthy of it, may borrow money, and pay it back ai regular intervals. The federal government, who backs the National Defense Loan, pays for nine-tenths of the loan, and the remaining one-tenth must be supplied by the University. In the past, there have been many organi zations who have worked laboriously in order to contribute to this service. Despite this Socialized Med The science of medicine is always on the move. Its ultimate goal is a world free from the fears of illness and disease that strike men down before their time. The forward march of medicine in the United States has made it possible for mil. lions to live today when they may have died years ago. In the last half century, more medical progress has been made in this country thar during any other span of time in the history of man. And because of this America sits undisputedly as the king of a system of medicine that is unequalled by any other nation in the world. You would think that all Americans are proud of this, but there are some persons who seem committed today to change om present system. We will agree anytime to a change for the better. But these people dc not want improvement. If they did, they would not be wanting to exchange our sys tem, which has given us the best medica care in the world, for a system that has proven itself a failure. These left-wingers are all behind forcing government medicine on the Americar people. Not all Americans, but only those over 65 who are eligible for Social Security. The King Bill, HR 4222, is the method for their objective. Every unbiased survey of the economi< status of the aged confirms the fact tha1 the over-65 age group is as capable of tak. ing care of their own medical wants as any other age group. Yet, they still want to en. force government medicine.

Tonight, at Carolina Stadium, the Block C Club, in cooperation with the Richland County Sertoma Club and Student Senate, is.sponsoring the annual Intra-Squad Spring football game. The Block C Club, which normally retains most of the profits made, has kindly agreed to turn over nearly all of the profits to the USC Loan Fund this year. A widespread publicity campaign has been put on in order to have the largest crowd possible. We urge all Carolina students to attend. Not only will you be seeing the best football players in South Carolina perform under the greatest coach in the state, you will also be contributing to one of the better services offered by our University. Ilcine: Yes Or No heels o- the twice-rejected Forand Bill, pro posed certain medical services at public ex pense to the select over-65 group. It matters not whether anyone over this age needs it, they will get it. To finance this piece of economic in justice, the bill proposes to force workers and their employers to pay more taxes for a system of socialized medical care for others, regardless of whether they need it or not. Adoption of the King Bill would establish the principle fundamental to socialized medi cine that everyone, rich or poor, must bene fit, that tax resources must be disbursed without a means test. England, which started her full-scaled socialized medical program thirteen years ago, has heard loud wails from the British economists who report the present system is tearing down medical care and holding back medical progress in their country. During the past thirteen years, the United States has built 720 hospitals. How many has been built in England? One! This fact in itself proves the retarding of medical progress point. Take another look at the proposed social ized medical program. It would force a young worker to pay for hospitalization for the rich over-65 when he drastically needs bread for his family. Just how much eco nomic or moral sense would that make? The results of the political decision that will be made with determine the future of medicine in this country. Socialized medicine: yes or no? We'll take the no, please.

Arthur Schlennier, Feb. '62 peech before YD of California TIIE right-wing revival is the conditioned reflex of extreme mnservatives in a liberal age. And -e fact of the col war, by inten fying the national anxieties, has, r course, intensified the passion >r quick and comfortable conclu ons. The cold war is long, slow, rid agonizing. It is an ordleal of *ustration. It is unbearable for jQose who seek simp)le answers and nal solutions in a complex and mb~liguous world. The right-wing <tremism of our (lay is, above all, a expression of cold wvar battle itigue." A person has only to look at the .idership of the opposing political bilosophies to understand why to ly's liberals are the progressives ievery way. Senators Anderson, lark, Case, Humphrey, and Mc arthy are fine examp)les of liberal atesnmen. Each of these men has onsored or supported legislation tat has bieen beneficial to the merican people. Senators Gold ater, Tower, and Thurnmond are amples of the conservative side the aisle. The only thing these en sup1port is each other in trying convince the American people at any piece of major legislation basically evil. Although the >OVe- mentined renma rks are delib ately subjective, this writer be eyes that they show clearly the fferences in these two( groups of anatorial statesmen.

T o say that I was disappointed with IFC's Greek Week is put ting it mildly. There were two good nights of entertainment, those being Sorority Stunt Night, and the Four Lads Concert. The remaining two f nights were pitiful. When are the student entertain ment officials going to learn what a formal dance is? I have always thought a formal dance as being a social activity in which people dress properly (such as tux, cock tail dresses, etc.). and the enter tainment being of a high class nature. Clyde McPhatter is a long way from being high class, not to mention his band. It seems a bit ridiculous to at tire yourself in expensive clothes, and go to a "formal" and listen to Boogie Woogie Baby Won't You Dance With Me. McPhatter would have been great at the informal. le could have done a lot better job than the Crests, or whatever their name was. P ERHAPS it is not the accepted thing at Carolina to have an orchestra perform. There are hun dreds of other colleges and univer sities over the nation who enjoy the pleasure of good music. But not dear old USC. We still love rock and roll, and the Twist. Now don't get me wrong. I think high spirited music is great in its place, but a formal dance is not the place. And speaking of high spirited music, we have, within our state, musicians who can put on a show as well as those back-up bands did last week. Why not utilize our resources, save money, and hire someone worth while. Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Buddy Hacket and Ray McKinnley, to name a few, are not ancient. Even Clemson knows this. Carolina is supposed to be the culture center of the higher education group in our state, but our taste of music does not go along with this. The bands mentioned in the above paragraph would be ideal for a formal. There are many, many more who make college tours and are available. For the next dance. whether it be formal, whether it be sponsored by IFC, or the Student Senate Dance Committee, let's give good music a chance. It can't be worst than what we're having now. Exchange Corner According to reports from the University of Virginia, one patri otically inclined social fraternity of the University community felt that it should take avction to lend moral support to this country's first astronaut to orbit the earth. The fraternity placed a pledge on its r'oof Tuesdlay with a banner bearing the greeting, "Hello, ,John." There has as yet been no con firmation from Mercury Control that Lt. Col. Glenn sawv the awe inspiring salutation. Nevertheless, "it's the thought that counts." TIhe girls at Chestnut Hill Col lege in Philadelphia recently com piled the following description of the college male: "lie is a strange compound of world and cherub, beatnik and stockbroker. The proportions vary widely in the individual members. lie frequents mixers, but rarely dances, Hie eats (when food is free) as if he has just returned from a 40-dlay fast in the desert. Generosity flows from his soul. Quite willingly will he teach you all he knows about politics, cars, sports, love, and women. He ex pects to be chased and admired, but scorns girls who flirt. If he's handsome, he's conceited. If he's smart, he's too smart. And if he's sweet, thoughtful and witty, he's engaged. "Joe College" likes girls, parties, beer, Marlboros, girls, Ahmad Jamal, Fridays, girls, his alma mater, football, the Kingston Trio and girls. lie dlislikes blind dates, work, erowded mixers, work, weeping women, work, Mondays, 12 mid night curfews, and work. lie's a combination of Troy Donahue, Gardner McKay and a c'harter member of the Mickey Mouse Club. He's the despair of the older generation and the hope f America's future. He's what every philosophy pro ressor dreads, and what every col lege girl dreams of.
