S . ~ _ .. .. Let's Freo With rush season fully upon us, the att tion of a large part of the student body focused on the fraternity system. Is I fraternity system strong at Carolina? That question cannot be answered simp Perhaps the most complete (and the safe; answer to give is that it isn't as strong it could be. The question of whether to align with Greek letter organization or not is b4 solved by the individual. The value of thf organizations has been debated pro and c for many years, with arguments present on both sides. However, we feel that the fraternity s tem at Carolina, despite some of its sho: comings, is basically a healthy one, and th it should be given a chance to grow a cure itself of some of its perennial wes nesses. A strong step in the right direction wou be to allow the fraternities to move c campus and maintain their own hous There can be no question but that in ma A Chan USC's literary magazine, The Crucib has issued a call for staff writers and co tributors. We hope this call will not 1 unheeded. The history of literary magazines at UO has been, at best, spotty.

AT WHAT TIME will the tate of South Carolina be ready integrate? When will the cople of South Carolina be will ig to accept the Negro as aNi idividual, worthy of attending ur state university? The Ne roes, too, pay taxes for this tate supported institution. You mentioned that "the road rom slavery is long and dis >uraging" --- editorials such as our last, kept it longer and more iscouraging. NAME WITHHELD iditor he Gamecock Yeur Mr. Myejjrs:* I think that you had a very 00(1 editorial last week on inte ration (We March to Fate lreast). With all the blather ne reads in many p)ublications bout President Kennedy and his ontifical announcements, it is ood to see a moderate view taken a the racial crisis. As far as I am concerned, inte ration is here to stay, for better r worse, and there is no way change it without violence. G. A.

WINKE YOUNG * 0 0 clitor rec Gamecock car Mr. Myers: The editorial "Me March To ite Abreast" distortedl Booker Washington's views on race lations. The editorial stated at Washington "felt that inte ation might eventually evolve ." But, the truth is that Wash gton never felt that integra mn would1 evolve. In a speech Washington made Atlanta in 1895, he said, "In things that are purely social can be as separate as the gers, yet one as the hand in think's essential to mutual Ogress . . . rhe editorial aid that "th I \'1 it al st it t i P. p1 cl Ii: 01 fi fc is T+%QOG*+ 89 ft ( fr * T th a di d1 desegregation process is one hi which cannot be stopped." I e think it is time for some of the mistaken to face reality and real ize that the desegration process is doomed to failure. Doomed be- th cause there are physical differ ences between the races. Doomed o because the American people will not give up their freedom to be th able to associate with their own th kind. ED THOMAS Editor The Gamecock ho I)ear Mr. Myera: When I read your editorial in so the last issue of The Gamecock, y1) I felt that some comment should ti( be made. There were three errors sh in your, otherwise fine, editorial: on the first being that while we do re: not want integration, "the de- at segregation process is one which cannot be stopped." Secondly, he your statement, "wvhile we believe ea it is essential to obey the laws of -- this land . . .," implies that the Supreme Court decision is the law of the land. Thirdly, your statement, "By artificially en forcing physical integration, we only impede the progress of geniune integration," is mis leading. First, since the 1954 decision was basedl on fact, and not law, there is an extreme possibility that eases concerning integration of the races will he heard on newv fact and new evidlence, and the 1954 dlecision will be re versed. In fact, two cases have "I already been heard in federal ouIJ court concerning this: The Ralph of S t e 11l vs. Savannah-Chathaim at County Board of Education and a ease in Charleston. The evi- fro dlence presented in the Stell case be shows that there is a vast dif- ela ference in racial intell igence, Muo racial performance, and that the the imtegr*ation of the two races will uive be of great harm to both races. telt T'he counsel for the NAACP in Tb the Stell case admitted vast to racial differences (10 exist, adl- to mnittedl the testimony wvas expert, aft andl could not offer any testi- is mony to refute the testimony given by these experts. The de segregation process could( ble tha stoppedl if enough Americans she knewv the facts presentedl in the hur1 Stell case. se Secondly, because the 1954 bhur Brown vs. Board of Education "I was admittedly based on "fact," tha andl not law, it becomes law of bar that particular case, and not the lawv of the land. The United trie States Constitution is the "law of are the landl." No matter how much rac political prop)agandIa surroundls the 1954 decision, it will not he be~ei the lawv of the hand until Con- thr< gress soi enacts it into a law. boo] Thirdly, to comment on your diff state'ment mentioned above, I to would like to say that, before bra anyone speaks of integration in onfe any form as "progess," it would mos b)e well for him to studly the his- dlon< tory of race mixing (unenforcedl is n as well as enforced) and study shoi the culture andl proess of c..., the TODD~) 'TUDENT Senate had its first regular meeting this past onday, and the only important atter was that of the cheer ader replacements for this ar. Three of the boys elected the past elections will be un )le to serve. Since there is no udent body election until late October, the Senate saw fit let the cheerleaders select the Iditional three to serve for the mainder of the year. Final ans are being made by the eerleaders and will be pub hed as soon as possible. Any e who has the necessary quali cations and is interested should ntact one of the cheerleaders r information until something published. The Student Senate commit es are now beginning to fune mn, and we would like to have me new members, especially eshmen, for each of them. 'ose interested should contact e committee chairman or leave note with their name and ad 'ess and on which committee ey would like to serve, at Rus 11 House information desk. 1HERE has been, for some . time, a state law which pro bits drinking of alcoholic bev ages at our home football toes, and the Athletic )epart ent has announced that it is ing to crack down this year d dismiss all violators from e stadium. This is true not ly for Carolina students, but r everyone who attends the .mes, as well. We are all of e opinion that such action at e games does nothing for the tiversity, but detracts tremen usly. Certainly, there is nothing to gained from drinking at the mes. Even though it might not ther the person who is drink , it is possibly offensive to neone else. The Athletic De rtment has asked our coopera >n along these lines, and I ould like to encourage every e to conduct themselves as resentatives of Carolina while the games.

This, frankly, at the way that college people dd( approach a problem. For benefit of those Carolna a.. MI,ESON "... Nothing To Be Gained From Drinking" to have a lot of interest among the members of the freshmen class. A number of students have already begun to show a deep in terest in the University and in Student Government. Dana Mc Clendon, chairman of the elec tions committee, will issue fur tlier details at a later date. In addition to the election of fresh men officers, the Student Body will vote for a representative on the Faculty Disciplinary Com mittee. I SHOULD like to impress upon each of you the importance of these elections. As you choose those who are to lead your class, it is time to forget popularity to the degree that it leads to in capability. In the past, our class officers have clone very little, but we have high hopes of using them to the utmost in the re mainder of the year. There is great potential in all of the up per class officers this year, and plans are being formulated so that they may feel that they are a c t u a I I y accomplishing some thing for the good of the Univer sity. Even more important is the election of the student member for the faculty disciplinary com mittee. This will be a tremen dous responsibility upon the per son elected, with possibly little praise, yet fulfilling a most im portant service. In order to seek election, a person must be of senior standing with a grade point ratio of 3.0 or better. WXE are beginning to study the possibility of having some type of student judicial system which would be a tre mendous addition to our present Student Government. We are moving slowly and deliberately because of the importance of this phase of student life. We have never had a recognized judicial body, but we hope to see this become a reality in the near future. We should have a good year ahead of us and the opportunity to do a great deal for the Uni versity. Carolina is already a great school, but it can be bet ter. Let's (0do our part in making it just a little better than when we first entered. Myers * The freshmen wvere probably not toldl in their oientation ? groups that everyone at Carolina wears the same type of clothes. Unless newcomlers to the Caro lina campus come decked in madras, bottle green, and wee junis --they'll either be avoided, or jeered off the campus. * The story of the brass globe p)erched firmly atop the Maxcy Monument is an interesting one. Supposedly if a Car'olina maiden of unsullied rep)utation passed by, the spheroid would revolve. (If .you think globe and spheroidl are synonyms used to avoid another, more' comnmon word: you're right). Needless to say, the adminis tration recently had the globular mass welded to its supports, thus saving face for many coeds and hindering honest speculation by men students.
