Pass The 'I It's difficult to realize that five semesters ago a wide - eyed coed, butterflies in her stomach, meekly walked into The Gamecock office with an offer of assistance, and is now watching the Carolina Community world go by from the editor's chair. Needless to say the progression has been a rewarding experience - one which regret fully will begin its denouement at the termi nation of this semester. The journalism world is one which exists on the ninth ring of Saturn. The particular breed of people which inhabits it is the underlying cause for its madhouse quality. It is a fascinating, frustrating world - one where both excitement and routine are common.

In fact, some people said that he would be lucky to win two or three games. Well, he won nine with a type of basketball that even scared the big teams, and when this season started, some of the North Carolina newspapers talked of a rumbling in the South. He won six and lost six before he left, on January 12, but winning is not what we will remember the Bantam Rooster for. It was the way he won. The "Noe Win Policy" was nothing more than playing to win all the time, something that seems to have been absent around these parts for so long that people have forgotten what the word meant. Chuck Noe taught us what the word meant. He empha sized that every game was a battle which had to be fought with all the effort and enthusiasm that a team can find within it self. Noe's teams played every game as if it were the National Championship, and when they won, they acted as if they had won the National Title. Winning was not the only thing to them, it was every thing. In the short time that Chuck Noe was here, I think that he taught us that ath letics are for every member of the student body. The intercollegiate athletic program is for the spectator as well as the partici pant. We all have a part to do if we expect to win. Cheering for our boys is as much a part of the game as what the boys them selves do on the court. They cannot win unless we stand b)ehindl them. I don't think that any coach ever made this any clearer than Chuck Noe did. His open practices and talks with those of us who attended them gave us some in sight into the preparation for games. We were able to see some of the important aspects of being a coach, and handling a 5Ae GA A CCO CROWYNC FOR A CPRF.ATER UJNWERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLII Mesber of An.oiated Collegate Press Founded January 30, 1908. with Robert Elliott Contales Editor.

He knew when they wanted I play and when they did not. He is gone now without ever having bee able to show us what he could do with talented ball club. We all had hopes th. with the brilliant freshman team this ye, we would really begin to roll. Noe will neve have a chance to give us the great tear that he could have. The bubble has burs1 Our hopes for the future have been shal tered. That colorful little man whom we used t see frequently around campus has passe from our midst and with him all the basket ball greatness that he possessed. It is no an overstatement to say that an era i: Carolina athletic history has passed. Th beginning of greatness is now but a shadoi of frustration. What was becoming a par of us has been torn away by fate. I knew Coach Noe personally. In my opir ion he was the best basketball coach in th country. He won games with a team tha most people would want to hide. Noe scoffe at all opponents and played them one at time with only one purpose in mind, "win. le was a man with strong convictions, man who knew the meaning of sincerit Chuck Noe did not win just for Chuck No4 he won for South Catolina, for us. We a can gain from his struggle. What the future holds for basketball a South Carolina only time will tell. We ha a dream, but it has vanished and with the man who made it seem so real. Grea niess has passed from within, leaving eac one of us hollowv and confused. What happened is so complex that ti whole story can never be told.

SANDY DEACON Off-Campus Housing (?) Editor The Gamecock Dear Miss Russell: e I would like to take this op V portunity to express my dis approval of the University's rule t requiring all unmarried, under graduate students to live on campus. - I do see where it would be e advantageous for freshmen and t sophomores, but I feel it is totally unnecessary for j u n i o r s and seniors. a In some c a s e s the student's grades may drop, but this is a more the fault of the individual student rather than of his en vironment. Also, there is the problem of money. The expense is high to attend the University for one tsemester. In many cases a stu (lent can live off-campus cheaper dthan lie can live on-campus. tAs the rule stands now, the L- only ones wvho can live off h campus are: 1) marriedl students; 2) students who live with rela C tives in Columbia or in the eColumbia area; r 3) veterans over 21 wvith two ayears active duty. In avery nmany cases this is tgrossly unfair to students. For examle, a student asked the Dean of Students for p)ermission IANDOUTS B' which resulted in the dleaths ofC twenty - oneC people and injuries to 500 mn o r e .

Ye(t, Panama has received from A mn e r i e a approxi nmately 38 million dlollars in grants and( loans and from various international agen cies aroundl 24 million (101 lars in loans since 1961. One might judge that Panama has acquired the character istics of a chronic charity case. Through its sundry aid programs, the United Stales has given financial assist ance to almost everyonie who wants it but dloes not necessarily nee(I it.

HENRY LEE Registration Frustration 1"ditor The (;otrcc"uck 1)car .liss Russell: In the past, it has been quite evident that this grand institu tion of higher learning has defi nitely been I a c k i n g in many respects. Monday, the twenty-seventh of January, was no exception. The confusion of registration brought into clear focus the ineptness of the administration and the lack of communication between pro fessors and students. The sad part of it all is that these things could have been avoided. Justly so, part of the blame must he p)lacedl on the studlents; fo there is no excuse for the animalistic behavior disp)layedl on Monday, nor is there any excuse for the inconsiderateness of t he inevitable line-breaker. WVhiho this is all true, these things could have been alleviated if' the administration hlad prop erly organized registration. This University is growing much too raily to triy to hav~e everyone register at the same timer. Other than the time factor, I can see no reason why the uIperelassmeni could niot revister onle daoy, tile lower anothTr, and the under 2.00 stud(en ts still another.

On behalf of the Student Government and the entire Stu dent Body, I should like to wel come them to the Carolina Com munity. We are all happy that they have chosen this as their college and wish for them the very best of luck their ent.ire stay. There are many opportunities here at the University as was pointed out (luring orientation, and I should like to reemphasize the need that we have for good committee workers with the var ious executive committees of Stu lent Government. We are achiev ing trenendous strides in making these eommllittees really become a par1t of the stulent phase of Ini versity life. A NY new student, or old for that matter, that is inter ested in serving in any capacity should come up to the Student Coruncil Office , n the main floor of the Russell llouse.

I N the next several weeks when the new proposal is presented, I shall attempt to present the major points in this column with a little background so that the entire student body can follow the progress of the Senate. It will be important for the student body to speak to the Senators during this time and let us know how you feel about some of the issues and what you think can best serve the students. We are just now beginning to realize the full potential of Stu dent (otvernment and hopo to begin the path to the place that the students can assume more of the responsibility for the actions on the college campus.
