n It is our aim to speak for the student body
i for we are an organ of the students ... not

is axes to grind but only the thought that other
e organizations' hopes for larger roles on cam
pus might better express themselves in ex
r panded service projects than in attempted
discipline of existing independent groups.
u With this is mind, The Gamecock pledges
itself to greater participation in campus af
fairs, beginning with backing of Glamour's

ings for Artist Series performers are also on
the drawing boards.
State House legislation will concern USC

As the fall semester of 1962
fades into history, "The Game
cock" has reviewed the major
news events of the semester and
has selected the following top
five news stories:
1. MISSISSIPPI COVERAGE
-After students at the Univer
sity of Mississippi rioted in pro
test against Negro James Mere
dith's forced entry there with
federal troops, several "Game
cock" staff writers went to the
strife-torn campus to find out
what was happening and report
to fellow students. A special page
was inserted in the "Gamecock"
containing eye-witness accounts
and photographs of the turmoil.
Dennis Myers was awarded a
$500 scholarship for his story by
the William Randolph Hearst
Foundation; and, two editorials
received national recognition -
"Little Rock Repeat: By Right of
Might," by Joan Wolcott, and
"Face of Fear," by JoAnn Coker.
2. STUDENT SENATE -
When "Gamecock" policy decided
to discontinue publishing the
minutes of the Student Senate
because of the large amount of
news space they consumed, two
major c a m p u s organizations
clashed. The Senate demanded
the minutes be re-inserted and
passed resolutions to that effect;
however, "The Gamecock" would
not yield and the minutes were
not printed. Senators, furious that

:>p News Si
the "Gamecock" would not obey
them, attacked the staff and the
paper's policy: "The Gamecock"
answered back editorially, stating
the Senate was a "spineless Pinoc
chio of the administration rather
than a spirited voice of the stu
dent body."
3. ELECTIONS - With the
strength of the Republican Party
rising in South Carolina, nor
mally Democratic, students took
an active part in political activi
ties - staging rallies, voting, and
writing. "The Gamecock" gave
complete coverage of the cam
paign and election wherever stu
dents were directly concerned.
News stories appeared in "The
Gamecock" concerning the visit of
former President Dwight D.
Eisenhower to Columbia. The
presidents of the Young Demo
crats and the Young Republicans
each wrote an appeal on behalf
of their parties . . . a campus
wide senatorial poll was con
ducted in which Republican hope
ful W. D. Workman defeated
Democrat Olin D. Johnston, only
to be reversed in actual November
voting.
4. INTEGRATION SUIT -
Having read of the integration
turmoil at Ole Miss, students
were stunned to read that racial
trouble was now involving their
own school. "The Gamecock"
scored a "first" with the report
ing of an integration suit by a

to report the incident.
5. B E L L RECREATIONAL
AREA - "The Gamecock" de
voted a great deal of news space
to photographs and news stories
of a 230-acre site acquired by the
campus "Y" groups. The site -

Recreational Area of USC - will
provide facilities for camping,
sports, fishing, and swimming.
Service groups are now working
on fixing and repairing the camp
grounds.

appearing in "The Gamecock"
during the semester included:
BUILDING BOOM - Six mil
lion dollars in new campus con
struction met Carolina students
as they returned to USC in Sep
tember. Among the new build
ings were a 10-story dormitory
for women, two 7-story dormi
tories for men, a new Life
Sciences Building, and an addi
tion to Currell College.
CUBA - "The Gamecock" gave
coverage to the crisis in Cuba
when the United States an
nounced a blockade of the island
nation. Articles by professors
