ALL-AMERICAN NO MONEY POLI SPRING, 1963 Page 2) UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA CROWING FOR A GREATER CAROIJNA VOL LIV, NO. 22 COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA, MARCH 6, 1964 FOUNDED 1908 *McGui Former Tar May Come I Carolina, fresh from a bou of Chuck Noe, may now get a policy of Frank McGuire. McGuire, former coach of t and the Philadelphia 'Warrio decision after the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament this week end according to Athletic Director Marvin Bass. While at UNC, McGuire, in 1957, won 32 straight games and the National Collegiate Cham pionship. Commenting on his undefeated season, McGuire said, "We played one game at a time and we played I every game like it was the world series." Before going to North Carolina, McGuire coached at his alma ma ter, St. John's University, and t compiled a record of 106 wins and 36 losses in five years. Leaving Chapel Hill in 1961, McGuire became coach of the Philadelphia 'Warriors' of the Na tional B a s k e t b a l l Association. When the 'Warriors' moved to San Francisco in 1962, McGuire re signed and has since remained out of coaching. McGuire's success is generally attributed to the outstanding players he recruited from the New York area; chief among r whom were York Larese and r )oug Moe. Moe has since been t convicted of accepting a bribe t to 'shave' points in a basketball c game, and was forced to leave UNC. While at North Carolina, Mc- 1 Guire, frequently upset by oppos- a ing crowds, established a reputa- h tion of being outspoken and given p to frequent outbursts of temper. f In reference to the crowds in M the Atlantic Coast Conference, Mc- t Guire said, "I have done my best t to maintain order at our ball games. I'm sorry to say I've found no such orde. at other places in the conference." One of McGuire's gripes at UNC b was the small size of the Univer- c sity's Woolen Gymnasium. He stated, "Basketball is a paying p sport all over the U. S., but this t is one place where it is a losing t proposition. s Woolen Gym seats 5,000 specta- f tors, as compared to the 3,500 seat c capacity of USC's Field House. c Funeral services were held s Tuesday for University fresh- R man Richard M. Burnett who C was killed early Sunday in a car wreck at Fort Jackson. Burnett, 20, a history major, '" worked for the Student Union "~ as an assistant in the Rtussell tl House game room. Adiver on the Carolina il swimming team, and a Chi Psi q Spledge, Burnett was buried in q u" the military cemetery at Flor- (1 ence after services at Fort n Jackson where his father is sta- tl tioned.a tI *.**.ANM Ai re Ha flee lCoach o0Carolina t with the 'Noe Win' policy dose of the 'win at any cost he North Carolina 'Tarheels rs,' will reportedly make a Honor Court Convicts Four During Trials The Student Honor Court has ried cases on two different occa ions since first semester exami ations.

Dr. Babcock will remain at th< University as a professor afte: his administrative duties are over "We are delighted that Dr. Bab cock will continue his stimulatin teaching and his extraordinarilh successful career as an author it our midst," said USC Presiden Thomas F. Jones. "Dr. Babcock's books and arti cles have brought him much ac claim while a member of the fac ulty, and the University is prou< to share by association his recog nition throughout the literary world." Dr. Babcock came to USC it 1921 on a year's leave from Wil liam and Mary College where he was professor of English and hea< of the journalism school. "I found the people so charming and the hunting and fishing si good here that I decided to stay,' said the professor. "I)ISTINGUISIIEI) PROFESSORSIIIP" Recipient of the first "Distin guished Professorship" Award by the USC Educational Foundation Dr. Babcock created the famous vocabulary building course knowr as "English 129." He wrote the textbook "I Want A Word" for the course, and his lectures in "English 129" invariably filled the classroom to overcrowding. One of USCDance To Feature Top Groups The Highwaymen, known for their recordlings of "Cotton Fields" and "Michael," will give a con cert for Carolina students at the To w n s h i p) Auditorium Friday, March 13 at 8 p.m. On Saturday night there will be an informal dance featuring the Shirelles. They will be backed by Maurice Williams and the Z,odiacs. ECight o'clock will also be the start ing time for this event at the Towniiship.

"It's not illegal to laugh," he says. I)r. Babcock holds four earned ] degrees, an honorary one and al Phi Beta Kappa scholar's key. He regards them all as casually as the battered hat under which he roams the outdoors. He is listed in Who's Who in America and Who's Who in the World. In addition to William and Mary and the University, Dr. Babcock has taught at Elon College in North Carolina, where he was head of the English Department. At Carolina he has headed the Department of English since 1937, and his 38-year recollections of campus incidents comprise an an ecdotal modern-day history of the institution. GREAT DEPRESSION Among his vivid recollections are the years of the great depres sion when the faculty voluntarily took salary reductions to keep the institution going. It was also during the depres sion that Dr. Babcock decided to i do something about the absence of paved walkways on the campus. r He pressed into service a corps of "volunteers" from among the < I . .. 1:1 BA B(OCK Savag "Failure of any student inI any course is costly psychologically, financially, and socially,"' comn ments D)ean W. WV. Savage of the .School of Education, author of an editorial on college failures in thei current issue of "E'ducat ion Re pot"a publication of the school. ~ Dri. Savage believes colleges are '0( quick to blame the high schools ~ arnd the high schools are too eager c o blame the colleges when fresh- d nen fail in college courses. 5 "As a group, college freshman pass ai large majority of the -ourses in which they enroll. When hey fail, usually several factors t contribute to their failure," he d writes. D)ean S a v a g e says the ma- i for factors contributing to the failure of college students are they :ollowing: admission by the col-n eges of students not recommended b )y their high schools for college p work; failure to prmvide maat.s ent 0: JONES is Head rartment ;:udents and staff, and the ama :eur bricklayers made walks where )nly (lust and mud had existed >efore.

Babcock heads m staff of nearly 50 faculty mem bers, 23 of whom have earned doc or's degrees. By example and encouragement, Professor Babcock has greatly in luenced i n c r e a s e d authorship among the faculty of the depart nment. At last count the English faculty had 15 books in print. "Books keep each generation from having to start over again," says Dr. Babcock. His superb marksmanship has tirred the admiration and envy )f countless sportsmen who have ad the privilege of sharing a day )f hunting with him. Among his 'ompanions have been statesmen, ndustrialists and hunters of ordi iary means but exceptional sports nanship. It is through his monumental ind unique contribution to the vorld of literature that the Bab 'ock fame has spread across the ation and the world. For the most >art the subjects of his writing ave come from the South Caro ina fields, streams, thickets and voods.
