ZO A CO <>4CI UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA CROWING FOR A GREATER CAROINA ol. LII, No. 10 COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA, NOVEMBER 16, 1962 FOUNDED 1908 Yes, USC There Is A Tri Ep Special to the "Gamecock" What is Epsilon Epsilon Epsilon? This question has been asked by many Carolina students in the past few weeks. The "Gamecock" was recently given permission by Tri Ep members to print the truth ~ about this fraternity. It was organized in 1959, and at L present has a membership of 59. It is a parent chapter of colonies at the University of North Caro lina, Duke University, the South Carolina Medical College, Wofford College, Coker College, the Univer sity of Pennsylvania, Florida State University, Berlin (Germany), and -in a fit of madness - Clemson I College. tic Tri Ep is the only group on cam- Se pus organized for ABSOLUTELY we NO PURPOSE. Its members meet co( a minimum of twice a semester to plan no activities at all. sei Members are chosen on the basis re; of character and congeniality, and inj preferably must have a low grade on point ratio. na Tri Ep is considered an honorary col group since initiation means one has entered the group's innermost circle of friends and is thus quali- r fied to be called "brother." Mem- a bership is by tapping only. 0 Currently the group is standing f fast by its policy of serving no worthwhile purpose. t Advisors for Tri Ep are Profes- P sors Earl A. McIntyre, Maurice L. t Cullen, and John H. McGrail of S the school of Journalism, and Mary t Belle H. Howe, of the Board of Women Visitors. Officers are Czar, Charles Behl ing; Vice Czar, Bob Hill; High Re corder, Belle Howe; Musical Con sul, Joan Wolcott; High Comptrol ler, Murray Coker; Low Scholar ship Chairman, Howard Hellams; Alumni President, Pat Adair; and Sweethearts, Sis Mullis and Mary Anne Newman.

The "Gamecock" now staffs the weekly Senate meetings and prints the news stories at their discretion. Hellams also pointed out that 16 Student Senate stories and four pictures had been printed in the past nine Issues of the paper. "If the Senate wants its minutes pub lished, it should pay for them at advertising rates," he said. Sen.

Every check cashed by the de pository, except checks issued b5 the University, is assessed a fee o: 10 cents, which is collected to cove: I exchange costs charged by th( bank.

After five day a follow-up request will be sen from the Treasurer's Office, and i this becomes necessary, a fine o $1 will be charged to the persoz issuing the bad check to partiall; offset the expense of collection.

Peggy Moses and Susan Mat thews introduced the bill on the floor the previous week; it was then reported favorably out of the powerful Rules Committee. Miss Wolcott stated that the "Gamecock's" policy on Senate's activities were based on the feeling that "Senate is considering prob lems which have no real bearing on the campus . . . they also are not taking direct action on any resolu tions which they do pass . . . other student senates handle campus morality and drinking, while USC considers whether or not to hang a pennant in the Rathskeller." ,.ives N 6 UNIVAsITY OF oft eovembei misa Joan I,lcott. aditer The Canicock DeWar iss lcett: The article which quoted a The Canecock of Noveaber 9 omitted ac and answer questions which undoubtedi For example, this is the pi the masures take to solve it, and'i Tangled traffic Jans occuri Creen and Devine streets, caused prii parted on both sides of the street as a tine.

In a letter this week to the 'Gamecock" Daetwyler said the tews story "omitted some details hat bear on the problem and an wer questions which undoubtedly axist." Each week the "Gamecock" re eives numerous news releases rom various sources. It is neces ;ary to edit these releases-weigh ng each sentence, statement and :act - and present an accurate ;tory that appeals to the majority >f our readership, the students. The article on the parking prob em appearing in last week's edi ;ion was edited from a release While Daetwyler discussed many ispects of the parking problem in iis original release, his remarks !oncerning the University's disap )roval of students operatng and )wning automobiles indicated a sig iificant statement; therefore, this ,emark was used in the lead of the iews story. The "Gamecock" felt that such a ;tatement was important NEWS, is did the Greenwood Index-Jour tal, the Columbia Record, and nany Columbia radio stations. all Daetwyler is not being "singled >ut" by the "Gamecock" for we are mnly attempting to explain that >ur job is to determine what is ews, and how it should be stated, vhile using good judgment and ommon sense. The "Gamecock" is u n d e r no ~ompulsion to present everything vailable for publication, nor are eaders compelled to read what Is yresented to them. Both exercise ;heir right to decide what is fit to rint and what Is fit to read. Our policy is to supply the news, iot suppress it.
