They told us, point blank, that "all undergraduate students not living with parents or close relatives will be required to live in Univer sity dormitories beginning next fall." These words sound as if they were orders from a young ladies' finishing school, not a state University. We have two points against the statement. Firstly, it will be al most impossible to enforce, and secondly, we are told where we can or cannot live. How are the Housing officials going to be able to check on each and every student to find if he has a legal "close relative?" If they are going to check on each student individually, you had better reserve your room early because they will spend the ma jority of.,the fall semester tracking down violators. Our point, in short, is that we can't see how they will be able to enforce it in full, and if this is not possible, why should some students have to move on cam pus while others reside in an already estab lished off-campus house. The next point is fairly obvious. We are Timae To Several weeks back we filled these col umns with an editorial about our radio station, WUSC. At that time, we expressed our feelings to the effect that the radio station could be an integral part of campus communications, but in its present condi tion, it was only useful to a handful of people since it could not be heard by the entire campus. We also wrote that unless something could be clone to correct the situation, WUSC should be put off the air for it was only a waste of money. The Student Affairs Committee, com posed of fellow students who allocate money to various campus organizations out of our dollar activity fee paid during registration, undoubtedly thought along the same lines. During one of their meetings last week, they decided to give WUSC their alloca LITTLE MAN ON CAM] A O. 0*i6A "U,I AN' 3~0e~ ~ML 1~ oWks.6 M,%-1 E'pgcWcTo s Around Campus iq could be umrd rooms, for they will be living here neN, in study for the parents or close relatives.

Statement classified as MEN AND WOMEN in one in stance, and on another occasion we are told, in essence, that it's the dormitories or else. n What prompted the move? It is totally un- a known here. Perhaps it could be that Hous ing wants to assure itself that all the new a dorm spaces will be filled. a Think of what this may do to the com- v muter. There are many cases in which stu- S dents drive from areas around the state e to attend Carolina, and if they do not re side with parents or close relatives, they G will be required to come and live on campus. do There are other cases of students living a. off-campus because of economic conditions. D It is known that a student, if he finds the P right place, can live cheaper out of the dorm Ce than he can in it. Yet, the statement de clares that everyone except the parent and it relative residers, will be required to live on si campus, and to add insult to injury, they a raise the price of the dormitory room. We feel the move is ill-founded, and invite A the Housing Department to issue, in as S frank a manner as they did in the state- 01 ment, their reasons for the aforementioned ol requirements. tU P1 Expand 3 tion, but it is to be used to expand their ! facilities over the campus. Therefore, the radio station is not operating on the stu- in dents' money, andI it should not until every ga one is able to hear it. st As we said before, we think this is defi- wV nitely a move in the right direction. Its serv- of ices to Carolina are unlimited if it is cam p)us-wide. In addition, more revenue throughA local advertising can be brought in once a merchant finds he can reach the students d and not the student. ti WUSC now has the finances to expand, c5 and if their engineering department, in as- ai sociation with what help may be acquired P1 from the Administration and Maintenance, a will move ahead and make our radio sta tion camp)us-wide, it will be another step D in the direction of a Greater Carolina.

("Ganecock" staff photo E) The University of Colorado's awly formed campus political party spires "to a daring concept of lucation and dedication to ideals hich can make student government ore responsible to the students as whole," according to Clive Jones, ce-president of the party, called tudents' Council of Political Edu tion (SCOPE). He said that campus politics must anchored on a broader base than reek or non-Greek. Issues of stu !nt government involve everyone students and people, Jones said. esigned to implement "the twofold -inciple of practical political edu tion and membership not bounded r social affiliation," SCOPE by -esenting political leaders before ; meetings will mold both far ghted and practical leadership, he id. SCOPE, according to Jean Santi, SUC health and welfare commis Dner, has been created to fulfill e need on campus for a political ganization oriented to the issues student government. She said e newv political party wvould rengthen student government by oviding a forum wvhere: 1. campus leaders may keep stu nts informed of their leader's 'ojects, may present programs and eas, and hold discussions; 2. students may become interested and learn how to initiate pro ams, lobby groups, etc.; 3. students may learn to under and the problems encountered in rking towvard the various goals effective student government.

Baby Kissing E VERYTHING'S in full swing for the baby-kissing ceremonies down at University Terrace now. All the campus politicians have gotten their machines cranked up again, and once more the Carolina Community is in the midst of that season known to those who partic ipate as "sweat week." And that's exactly what it should be, for without the hand shaking and poster making 'til two in the morning, and without the "butterflies in the stomach" on elec tion day, campus politics might as well be chucked down the drain. But this won't happen . . . for there are a great many people on this campus who care about how the affairs of their student govern ment are run.

That the Union may make the results of such inquiries available to its component organizations, to the student body public generally, and to the proper administrative authorities. 6. That the Union carry out the above proposal (excepting the sec ond) by means of a standing com mittee to be called the Student Opinion Commission. Hoard c o in m i t t e e spokesmen pointed out that the proposals were not student government per se but that they (lid fulfill the responsibil ity given to the Union in its consti tution to provide liaison between the student and the administration. A new rule in effect for the cur-I rent academic year at the Univer sity of Toledo has repealed the in-< structor's right to drop students for excessive absences. Part of a rec-t ommendation of the Conference Committee, the responsibility for dropping a course has shifted from i the instructor to the student. Under the new system, a student wishing to drop a course must ini-C tiate the drop himself by first con tacting his dean and then filling out a form in the registrar's office.C The reasons for the new rule as statedl by the Conference Committeet are as follows: Dropping students for non-at tendance is inconsistant with the adoption in 1959 of voluntary roll taking. Since the student has paid his tuition he should be permitted to exercise his right to attend or not attendl classes. If the student feels that he can( pass a course without attendingt ylasses, he should be permitted to t lo so.t CROWING FOR UNIVERSITY OF S( Member of Associate Founded January 30, 1908. with first editor, "The Gamecock' is pubi the University of South Carolina week year except on holidays and durn a The opinions expressed by co um necessarily those of "The Gamecock Letters to the Editor, but all Letters not constitute an endorsement.

The vast majority of office-seekers on the campus are sincere in their lesires to do something for Caro lina besides attend her classes, eat in her Russell House, and accept ane of her degrees in Business Ad ministration so they can go back to Possum Kingdom and run the general store. And the ones who do nothing but] the above are usually the ones who ion't vote in campus elections. And yet they're the first ones to gripe ibout "this University don't never Io nothin' for us students." Get out and vote. Grades in a particular course ;hould not be based upon the phys cal presence of a student. This new rule is intended to cover )nly excessive absences from class. A student may still be dropped from i course by the instructor as a lisciplinary action, according to Richard R. Perry, director of ad nissions and records. A college and university should nive the right to ask a fraternity, I ;orority or any other organization o leave its campus if the adminis ration feels that the group is not naking a significant scholastic and ducational contribution to the over ill program of the institution, ac !ording to Dean of Men William R. t 3utler of Ohio University. As far as fraternity scholarship n the national level is concerned, Dean Butler said, only 50 per cent )f the college campuses have fra :ernities that equal or surpass the ill men's averages on their :ampuses. "To me this is the heart )f the problem. If national presi lents and secretaries attacked this ,roblem there would be no need for itrong powver at the national level >eeause there would be no threat to raternities being asked to leave ampuses," he emphasized. "'Powers' by National Interfra ernity Council can't solve this roblem--it must be attacked di -ectly," Dean Butler said. He >oinlted out that the fraternity sys em on this campus has been mak rig this scholastic and educational ontribution. "There we have an excellent ' 'ecord," noted Dean Butler. He r ited the record of OU's fraternity ~ ystem which in each semester of r he past six years has surpassed the ill men's average. The record is ~ noare significant in light of the t 'act that here graduate students' trades are figured in with the all nen's average but not included in ~ he all-fraternity average. V Dean Butler expressed his appre- ~ iation "for persons here who are i; nterested in furthering the frater lity system so that fraternities at ti )U will continue to make a con ribution which is in keeping with he goals of the administration and 4 rustees."A t< J A GREATER )UTH CAROLINA I CoIate~ Presb Robeyt EllHott Comzales as the shed byad for the students of t y,Frdy, duig the eeBege atan etrwters arese tI ."

The only eaction possible to the review !hoice of the sexual interpretations )f American literature in "The Fiedlerian Synthesis: A Summary md Some Questions" is laughter.

Yes, "Crucible," you are being riticized again, and you may term his a "puerile diatribe" as you have ,our past criticisms.

We dialed RIverside 3-2724, ~aFayette, Ind., and were greeted 'y the voice of a younger member f the Jones family. She informed .s that "Daddy isn't home. He's ri New York." We later found out )r. Jones was being made a Fellow f the Institute of Radio Engineers. 'hought wve could pick up some ambling thoughts from Dr. Jones a try and acquaint you with our ewv president. Since that failed, guess we will ave to give you some rambling htoughts of our own. President Sumwvalt can be seen ralking to and from the State 4 louse oftentimes these days. Still rorking diligently and devotedly >r the continued progress of Caro nia, his wvalk reminds us of the ntiring efforts he has employed er~ bring the University to its -" resent status. TILL talking about presidents, our able and popular Student odly President hands his position a younger successor this week. * ust a note to that successor, who ier he may be, those are mighty ig shoes to fill. President Chap ell has done an outstanding job of ading the student body this year. The much publicized Cold War eminar for Carolina will have to 3 dletained until a later date. The 'p speakers were not available and ould not be for the remainder of te school term. The Student enate decided, and rightly so, that ily the best program should be resented. This means waiting until Ce best speakers are able to pre nt the program. The Cold War eminar Committee under Ken Hol nd did a good job, and will pass a notes to the next Senate. NOLORFUL Coach Bob Stevens .4 has been receiving his muchly aserved laurels this week. His ACC mach of the Year Award has made >ach Stevens a demanded speaker the sports circuit. It's another tample of the new era for Caro la--a new era in sports-a new a in the academic field. This riter, for one feels they go hand hand.
