The Sheltei A thinking man knows more than which 1 brand smokes best. His mind-filter traps a the fundamental points of any issue; his I mouthpiece ejects only the more plausible i ideas for intelligent debate. c Thoughtful Carolina students are trying to lift the smoke from current local and na tional issues. They wonder about Khrush chev's ulterior motives, they weigh the i merits of the UN and other world organiza- i tions, they decide for themselves which party icing best suits their political cake. These students knew where they stood on the Rich- 1 land County bond issue before it came to a i vote. University life is a continuous opportunity 1 for evaluation of goals and basic ideals. It is exposure to life on a small scale. Carolina Community members can be thinkers, doers, dreamers, or do-nothings. The choice is an individual privilege. Carolina offers a somewhat sheltered existence to those who live on its campus. Students usually aren't involved in decision making even when they are directly effected by the resulting policy. We did participate in the Greater University Fund; we were consulted about the move in Carolina Stadium, but student sentiment had little bearing on the latter incident. Unlike other campuses, the University is not subject to constant invasion by powerful forces or minority groups trying to gain student favor. It's arresting to read and compare current events at colleges across the U. S. Some in cidents at other institutions occur at Caro lina as well; others are out of our range of experience. In Berkeley, California, many students have become informed of their state's nar cotics policy, its critics, and its legal backers such as California State Attorney General Stanley Mosk. During a campaign appear ance at Berkeley, Mosk was questioned by a youthful narcotics user who brought unpub licized facts about the drugs to light. Al though we are fortunate not to have this problem on our campus, it's a subject worth being informed about as it is a cause of con cern in many large metropolitan areas. Carolina and California students do have a common interest: politics. While the Golden State's recent gubernatorial election received national attention, South Caro Letters...

JSC's Student Allocations Committee shares problem faced by the Finance Committee in the West Coast: the activities fee total loesn't meet the demands of numerous cam us organizations. We are similar to other universities in rarious ways. Our system of campus com nunicatio,, Centrex, was put into effect last 5aturday at the University of Utah. Emory UJniversity in Atlanta has been troubled by .epeated vandalism at three of its campus lormitories. UNC's daily newspaper re iorted that underground fallout shelters iave been designated at 31 localities on the "hapel Hill campus. But there are situations at other schools :hat don't apply to us at present, but that -ould easily do so in the near future. Negroes At the University of Miami have called the year-old integration there "liberal but pain ful." At Philadelphia's Temple University, the administration has pledged aid in reduc ing "bookstore blues." And for what it's worth, since the University of Florida cam pus rests on a limestone foundation de scribed as water-soluble and unstable, stu dents there are asking, "Could the bottom drop out?" Regardless of where they are, college stu dents have universal problems and oppor tunities. Although Carolina students may be apathetic at times, they can be intensely alert when occasion demands. If the Uni versity's over-all program were evaluated by students with a fraction of the intensity devoted to Cuba, our school would possess an invaluable insurance for the future; the policyholders would be perennially interested students, the premium would be greatness. Sometimes Universitv incidents are not pleasant, but reality is not generally candy coated. Suicide is not an agreeable topic, but it happens on other campuses and it hap pens here. Although printing "unfavorable publicity" is not our intent, we don't believe in suppressing news. Journalism ethics bounded in good taste is essential, but ignor ance is folly. The world outside doesn't filter good from bad; we are here to form and pretest our mettle. A college degree represents thought - numerous decisions must be made during the four-year apprenticeship. Where do we stand morally . . . spiritually . . . racially? We must base our actions on thought. Man minus mind is a vegetable; student sans mental strength lacks stature. Blessed are the thinkers.

What can a school (1o thaI is spending at least a quarter ol a million dollars a year or athletics? Which brings us to anothei point. Why is it absolutely neces. sary to the future of the Uni. versity to have a football team especially one that is handled a this one is. What it boils dowT to is this: even though we delud ourselves with the euphemism o "scholarships," we are in realit! hiring people to play football.

Simila experiences at other Southeri universities have proven tha such an action is merely anothe inevitable step in the progres of the South and not an unalter Lable calamity. These exp)eriences at the stat universities of Mississipp Georgia, and North Carolin have illustrated that the studlent eof the University of South Cart lina have a clear-cut choice. TI choice is not wvhether this girl wi be accepted by the Universit: .but wvhether she will be accepte -with intellectual maturity or wit .e federal troop)s.

Ladder are hiring football players an( spending thousands of dollars to do it, wIy don't we hire some good ones. Perhaps we could get the third unit of a professional team for an equivalent amount, of money. And did you know that the state of South Carolina does not allocate funds for athletics at the University? The only way that the school can support its expen sive taste in muscles is to get money from the students. Give us one good reason why we need to do this. Perhaps Carolina is doomed to mediocrity, depending on a foot ball team to make its name known, hoping nobody wants to take a course in medieval Latin, and praying that the students are thick-skulled enough not to know er care what's going on.

Name Withheld t Upon Request i- D)ear Miss Wolcott, 11 I would like to take this 0op i- portunity to express my senti il ments on the dance last Saturday night. In my opinion it was the 3-worst dance I have ever attended n in my two years at Carolina. te Why was it the wvorst? I feel the w main reason was the typ)e of en tertainment provided. It seems to me that a school as large as Carolina should be able to afford a little higher grade of music. Of course there are a few who enjoy rock-and-roll music for the ~o (lance, butt I think that the ma ad jority of the student b)ody p)refer ig a more sop)histicated (dance. an Trhere are two( possible solum n.. tions to this problem. If at all 1g p)ossile, wvhy not have a (lance to on Friday night and also one on ry Saturday night. T1he Friday night te (lance could be an informal af ne fair with a really "juking" band. at Saturday night could be semi re formal with a well-knowvn dance us bandl. w. If this solution is not feasible, a why not have a good band for one (lance? I 'm1 sure if a vote m- were taken, the studlent body u.. would favor this. If Clemson ir; College can have go(d (lances, I at see no reason why we can't here ul- at Carolina. After all, aren't we ey supposed to be the cultural cen ive ter of higher education in the ie- state? It certainly couldn't be is proved by the dance Saturday ill. night. ci- Sincerely,
