Writ( By MARGARET SIALEULY Feature Staff Writer There comes a time in every student's academic life when he is called upon to exert his maximum of stamina and fortitude. This situation is designed to separate the scholars from the students. Often it also separates the stu dent and his sanity. T h e aforementioned memorable event occurs when a professor gleefully announces, "Of course, aside from the thirty short stories, 300 vocabulary w o r d s and six parallel novels, you will write a term paper." Bells ring, lights flash, teeth gnash, and sonic weak hearted soul faints. Life's most trying experience is at hand. Naturally the first thought that springs into the mind of any red blooded C a r o I i n a student is, "Where can I buy, steal or bor row one of these pricelmss ob jects?" Unfortunately they are not offered on the open market, and besides that would violate the honor code. So unless one has the good fortune to he a millionaire, one must write a term paper him self. However, for some people, this is really hitting rock bottom. After hav-ing faced the facts and diligently read every other page of the instruction booklet. the optimistic stud"nt trots off to spend a few leisurely hours taking notes. Armed with pen, notecards and a lot of good faith our hero is convinced that he shall complete the simple task in record time. Besides McKissick had a I w a y s looked interesting from the out side. Surprisingly enough after only six hours of searching for ma-, terial on "The Home Life of the popeytd(! (oldfish," the disheveled i student seriously considers chang ing his subject. It seems that this just isn't the season for writing books about the latest trend in goldfish life. By this time the w%,hole idea of terni papers is be ining to smell a little fishy. Term papers offer a student the chance to create, to show his ef ficiency, and to flunk English 12. These darlings of the I i t e r a r y world are usually words suggested to be anywhere from ten to five thousand words in length. That is a lot of "a's" and "the's"!

In talking with Gus, we were luite interested in the differ !nces of Cuban from American iociety. In Cuba, family eve iings are spent in conversation, liscussing politics, religion, and )ther topics of interest. High school in Cuba is much iarder than the counterpart in he United States. In the Cuban ystem, there is a set course of itudy and no leeway is given or adaptation to the student's a s t e s. Gus graduated from 4avana Military Academy, a )rivate school, w h i c h he at ended five years. All Cuban igh schools last five years, -ather than the traditional four iere. Dating in Cuba is similar to lating here, but the differences tre vast ones. The main dif erence is that in Cuba a ha,:t,rone accompanies the ouple wherever they go. A ypical Cuban date is to a lance or to a movie, just as iere.

Groom 9 gort WUS( By RON ELIOT and DALE BAILES We students who hear the pleasant s o u n d i n g music and voices over our own WUSC-AM on our radios seldom realize the com plex organization and cooperation that compose; each minute of pro grammed air time that we hear. Yet WUSC was not always the entertaining force on campus that it is today. Under the dynamic management of Graeber Jordan, the station has grown tremen dously. Not only has the radio staff grown, but the WUSC is able to broadcast to all of the c a m p u s, something impossible until this past fall. WUSC has always been a stu dent organization; it was founded in 1946 as a charter corporation. Although the University of South Carolina owns all the broadcasting equipment, and r e li e s on Dr. Harry MacMillan as faculty ad viser, the station is not affiliated with the school, and has continued to operate without administrative supervision. WUSC represents the work of the past and the present youth of the University To keep te members of the station working together smoothly and to understand and operate the complex machinery of WUSC has been the job of Graeber Jordan as manager for the past two years. Responsible for the many new im provements within the station, such as the complete rewiring of the control center, and the addi tion of equipment needed for many past years Jordan has worked to reorganize the program ming also. He is responsible for the many remote live programs such as the Student Senate meet ings and the USC home baseball games later this spring. Although this planning has set the goals of WUSC, it has been the general staff, which is com nosed of almost forty members this year, that has supported him in his efforts. From this general staff of typists, announcers, and office workers, there is chosen an Executive Board composed of the department heads. This Executive Board, elected twvice a year, is actually the managing force under Graeber Jordan. It is the Execu tive Board which decides what a I b u nm a and equipment to buy which determines the g e n e r a 1 policy of the station. The Board supervises the programming of the station, and regulates the ad vertising department. Graeber Jordan, as manager and the Chief Engineer, provides the proper equipment for the various broadcasting functions, and pro motes the smooth efficiency be tween the different departments. As Chief Engineer, he sees that all programming is made easier for the announcers. Program Director is T o mmy Bush. His job involves the prepa ration for the broadcast schedule. Hie not only sets the schedule but also the tones of the various pro grams. He and his assistants tape the commercials and promotions, arrange the public service an nouncements, and generally su 9\Es W6 ET AUR HAIR .&ET THis dainty fingers aren't to play games in a <m mousy mane!

The News Department is headed by Clifton Eaton. WUSC not only 4W4 W4 x .IX has the wire service of United Press International, but is affili ated with both the Mutual Net work and the Columbia Broad casting System. The main purpose of the News Department is to train students for the professional news reporting field. As of F'ebru ary 28, the station began to hold weekly classes on news reporting. One of the largest areas within the station is the music depart ment. Directors this y e a r are Leroy Ebert and Charles Padgett; it's their responsibility to provide records for the announcers, to check and file new albums, and to assist in selecting music for the announcers. Rick Ammo is Chief Announcer. It is not only h.is job to train new announcers as old ones leave, but to see that all announcers are' present at their required times.
