RATED GMCC ALL AMERICAN POLITIC SPRING, 1963 Se pa 2 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA CROWING FOR GREATER CAROLINA VOL. LV, NO. 2 COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA, S'EPTEMBER 25, 1964 FOUNDED 1908 USC YD's La 'Hesitant, The USC Young Democrats Ex ecutive Committee Tuesday Night, September 15, issued a strongly worded statement charging the Young Republicans with "conceal ing by silence the fact that Barry Goldwater is a false conservative prophet" and suggesting "radical I infiltration" into the Young Re publicans and the State Republican I P)arty. The YD's challenged their cam pus opponents to debate "anytime, any place, under any conditions that would be fair to each party." t The text of the statement is as I follows: "We, the members of the USC Y o u n g Democrats Executive Committee, who represent the true thinking of South Carolini ans, have challenged the USC Young Republicans to a debate on the issues of the 1964 Presi dential campaign. There could be several reasons for their hesitation to debate. Some have suggested that the Young Re publicans do not want to reveal radical infiltration into their or ganization. Some contend the YR's are perfectly willing to let students be brainwashed by Re publican propaganda sheets. We do not know the mind of the Republican Party or of its nomi nee. Neither do the people of the United States know the mind of the Republican Party or of its Paper Staff Plans To Hold Drop-In Today The Gamecock will hold open house at 2 p.m. today in its office on second floor, Russell House. Sheila Reardon, editor, urges all not only journalism majors but all students to browse around the offices and attend the staff meet ing. At the S. C. Collegiate Press Assoc. convent.ion last spring The Gamecock received top awards in ever~y category, including "best student newspaper in the state." Nationally, it has won more All American ratings than any college newvspaper in the United States. DISCUS%SING TIlE DUlKE (;A football team.

(This is an apparent reference to charges by Demo crats that GOP Presidential nominee Harry Goldwater has repeatedly contradicted himself on all major issues.) "Our question Is this: Do they the YR's) wish to conceal by si ence the fact that Barry Gold vater is a false conservative >rophet who is doomed to ridicule rom intelligont conservatives?" "There are strong reasons why ve South Carolina conservatives annot recognize Barry Goldwater s a leader in the true Southern radition. Among the reasons are: is proposal to dissolve the Rural 'lectrification Administration; his 'ote against the National Defense ducation Act, which has made it )ossible for college students to ~ )orrow money from the federal Covernment to attend school; his rote against the tax cut; his rote against the minimum wage aw; also his opposition to the inti-poverty program and his vote igainst the limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. Other reasons are: his selec tion of Vice President candidate, William Miller, who has intro duced more civil rights legisla tion than any other man in Congress, according to Governor Sanders of Georgia; his vote t against the one-price cotton bill, the defeat of which would have cost thousands of South Caro linians their jobs; and his strong pro-civil rights record, namely his co-sponsorship with 37 other Republican Senators of the 1957 Civil Rights Bill (S-83) and his support of the Civil Rights Bill of 1960. "The Southern conservatives have always stood for the w->rking man; Barry Goldwater never has." "There have been those who have closely linked the S. C. Re publican Party with the John Birch Society. We do not know if this is true, but we would like clarifica tion on their part. We believe that the Young Republicans should have an opportunity to express their relationships with this so ciety, and a debate gives them this chance to publicly denounce or embrace this radical organization." "We are willing to debate any time, any place, under any con ditions that would be fair to each p)arty. The USC Young D)emocrats take pride in the fact that we are always happy and willing to put our views in the open for public scrutiny and away from the cloak of secrecy."

BY BILL MEDLIN L Staff Writer t Speaking at Wesley Foundation ;unday night, Terrell Glenn, Dis riet Attorney for Eastern South ,arolina, said that "the Civil tights Act of 1964 is perhaps the nost misunderstood of all laws ver passed by the Congress." "Many people, both white and qegro, seem to think the law cov 'rs much more than it really does. Phe Act simply gives to an indi ridual the right to bring a civil awsuit to obtain redress in fed ral court under the limited pro risions of the law." le stated that Title I of the )ill, dealing with voting rights, is >f little consequence in South _arolina because there is little dis :rimination against Negro regis .ration in the state. Title II Title II, the public accommoda ,ions section, prompted several juestions from the Methodist stu lent group. Glenn's responses were ;o the point: "The Attorney General's powers mnder this Act are very limited. rhe federal government has much nore authority to regulate busi iess in other areas than it dloes Ne"'er. ePht4y cri tw nue ebeso h S ohs n(cne)adSeeC, D DI Ma g.n a C) 4EHLMAN VO N' .

"If a case is of general public nterest (open and deliberate defi mnce, for example), if the indi ridual discriminated against can iot bring suit himself because of 7inancial reasons or intimidations, )r if the case involves a clear pat ern of discrimination in a par icular community, in a particular -hain, or in a particular business, lien and only then may the Justice Department seek injunctive relief n federal court. But we must have vritten complaints." He defined "pattern of discrimi lation" as "a number of separate nstances of discrimination, clearly racial in nature." Private Clubs "Bona fide private clubs and religious organizations are spe ifically exempt from the Act. "A restaurant is covered under lhe act only if a substantial por Lion of the food it serves or a sub ~tantial portion of its customers Lravel in interstate commerce. If v'ou buy all of your food in South Tarolina and serve only South arolinians, you are not covered y the bill. "In my opinion the cases aroughit by the Justice Dept. in south Carolina under Title II will >e rar e, since voluntary compli meie has becen widespread.'' Federal Funds The D).A. statedi that the most m isunderstood section was that 200 USC Students Fail To Register Cas Says Chief Ne'arly 200 students have for got teni or refused to register thir ars by t he September 21 deadline, accordi ng to Police Chief Robison. llvidlenice of this .sitaion is the numbel'r of studlent cars parking off of Sout h Assembly St. in open fie'lds. Ilvery communicative media was 'amployed] to assur e that students would know the deadl-ine. This d a t e andl c'ircumis,tane't weret spelled out in the Carolina Coem mu nity, theit registration step - sheet, and posted :in notices throughout Russell House. The PA' 'tystem wvas also employed to an nounce the final date.

Hie .-xplained that before funds could be withdrawn, Congressional hear ings must be held, regulations must be prepared by the federal agency, a study to determine the extent, gravity, and nature of the discrimination must be made by the federal agency involved, and that any final order to cut off funds must come directly from the President. He predicted that the equal em ployment section would have the most far-reaching effect in South Carolina. "Our studies show that the most deep-seated discrimina tion in South Carolina has been in employment. No one will lose his job as a result of this act. It merely prohibits refusing to pro mote or hire a man in the future solely on the basis of race, religion, or national origin. This section will not take effect until Januar 1, 1965, and then only for firms with more than 100 employees and unions with more than 100 mem bers. After 1965, there is a sliding scale, eventually covering all firms with more than 25 employees." moThire ac eally thesignued toll pesude Thesso re igsio oranyiiation oin.is asectin wei not khafet issuhtil Januar with65 athn otnity for olntrs compliaore."a 00epoye n "u'moveryiencouragedanith0te brs.onAftr 1965,c the peln scle evnutCallya Itveing wal firs th merthand2 mndsoe.e thmslvs tat rally eterinedh toaeue. the vlras ct aof forceetly tha fdral' govrern met isth ivit righs sout.to aways witroperrunty rihtoweni vounaryn tee riht toutomeds Gwenn the drsoe o this Aigt sidyo the ropld the Soft CSolina Iighs wae isore Inthis hase and mingrs of hel Uthesle Stat evilldeteyrfen' that thatthevidl rights act took aac thproperty rights ."e t urn lenstaed ha requing you tot drivere on the righ sibyo the Civid Righs Aac orriht.(Iieo telFt.ronh rihturesmr Inrthshae ptheCress are the beited taes idently f09li thet individl rhs are more contic throghrOctobert2."

Mehiman was previously of fered $150,000 for the property by USC. $10,000 more than the highest appraisal value. In 1962 he asked $200,000 in cash, the right to strip the building, six months clear of rent in which to move, and five scholarships to attend Carolina for his relatives. In February of this past year the property under question was estimated at five dollars per square foot for the lot and fifteen dollars per square foot for the huilding. l1lowever, when offered this price by the University Mehil man turned it down. Last Spring Mehlman wanted the offered purchase price to in elude the cost of buying a new lot, with equal frontage and the University in retilrn rejected this idea. When questioned by The Ganwocirk, Mehlman said, "You'll have to call my lawyer. I'm Lnder orders not to say anything whatever about it. I don't dis it with anyone." Mehliman's attorneY, Yancey Mc Leod. said his client felt the offer made b1y USC was "inadequate." He also Lelieves the appraisal made on the property was an "in formed guess.'
