This figure represents registra tion of on-campus students, those at the five USC centers, and spe cial hospital schools of nursing affiliated with the University. There are also a number of non credit students and auditors. The Office of Admissions and Registration processed a total of 917 applications for the spring term. Of this number 676 were admitted-143 new freshmen, 167 transfers, and 366 re-admits. The College of Arts and Sci ences continues to have the largest enrollment with 2,413. The School of Business Administration has 1,555 students. There are 436 people enrolled in evening school and 927 at the five off-campus centers. Also 186 nursing students are registered in the hospital schools of nursing at Sumter, Orangeburg, Anderson, Spartanburg, C o l u m b i a, and Charleston. Increas Arouse4 The governor's recommendation to raise tuition $250 per year for out-of-state students is still being studied in committee by the S. C. state legislature. The extra fee for students not from South Carolina now stands at $300. The proposed increase would change this figure to $550, making the over-all extra cost for out-of-state students $i,.no for the four-year period. The extra tuition was proposed as an alternative to increasing al locations to the University by the state, which already contributes significantly to the education of all students. As state supported schools, USC, as well as Clemson, The Citadel and Winthrop College Honorary Tells New -Initiates Alpha Lambda Delta, national scholastic fraternity for freshman women, issued 29 invitations to eligible girls attaining 3.5 or bet ter g. p. r., taking more than 12 hours.

I am working my way through school but can't work this summer ecause I have to go to summer school in the nursing pro graim.

I could go to the University of Virginia for the same amount as here with tuition raised. I feel that out-of-state studIents raise acadamic stand ards; the South Carolina students should be screened.

In determining the changes, ac cording to M. D. Tavenner, park ing coordinator, "the administra tion for the past month has met and worked with representatives of the student parking and traffic committee and the student-faculty relations committee." To releave over-crowded student parking lots, two lots south of Blossom St. accommodating 250 cars will be opened by March 1. University T e r r a c e residents with "UT" decals will be given ex clusive use of the 125-car lot di rectly south of fraternity row. posal etions defray the $800 per person that the state of South Carolina pays. It will also help to keep USC a state university instead of a na tional institution. I have no gripe with having out-of-state students come here but we should not be over-run by them. They do pay taxes in their own state to sup port their universities. We as South Carolinians would have to pay an increase to attend their universities; turn about is fair play.

Dean Cooper said that the stu dlents overloaded the elevator. "Nobody made an effort to get off the elevator when they saw it wvas being overcrowded. They (lid not act as responsible students of the University community." le also said that the elevator had been properly repaired and testedl and is now in good running order.

The spaces formerly reserved for University Terrace residents south of the business administra tion building will be metered for use by commuting students and visitors to the area. Twelve spaces in the same area will be reserved for faculty use and will be marked by orange curbs. Senate Denies Cheerleaders Free Credits BY BETH BROWN Exchange Editor Student Senate in a roll-call vote Wednesday defeated a bill to give cheerleaders credit for Physi cal Training for each semester they serve as cheerleader. The bill was introduced by Senators Nancy Gottlieb and Craig Wrigley. In the discussion following its introduction, Senator Stephanie Adair stated that cheer leaders practice several times a week, cheer at football and bas ketball games, and go on long trips. She said that this was as time-consuming as Navy and Air Force ROTC, for which PT credit is given. In opposition, Senator Connie Wall said that cheerleading is an honor and that people should not participate in order to get out of class. An amendment that committee chairmen be required to attend Senate meetings was passed. If the chairman cannot attend, he must appoint a delegate in his place. Senator John Harllee renewed a request to give students a place to store personal belongings be tween terms. This resolution was referred to the Housing Commit tee for further study. The same bill has been passed for the past two years. University officials re fused to give storage space in the past because of limited facilities. A proposal that exam schedules be issued before registration each term was passed unanimously. The resolution calls for the plan 'o go into effect in the fall of 1965. A committee to study p)ossibili ties of student jurisdiction in dlis -iplinary matters will be set up. The proposed bill will allow stu lents to appear before a student board. Before, a student went be sore a faculty board.

To i ce Pr Further l Ahead J BY VIRGINIA CARROLL News Writer While building continues on the two new USC dormitories, plans have been made for further ex pansion of educational facilities as soon as the present construction is completed. The first structure to be com pleted will be the new mens dormi tory on the corner of Blossom and Sumter Streets. At least one unit of the building will be ready for use by the 1965 fall semester. The dorm will contain a cafeteria, sev eral study rooms, TV rooms, meet ing rooms, a snack bar, and a recreation room. These accommo Jations will be used by students ,n the other mens dorms as well as those who will live in the new structure. The 20-story dormitory for women may not be ready by Sep tember, according to Dean of Ad ministration Harold Brunton. Be cause of its more complicated con struction, the date of completion is not definite. The womens dorm will house 22 Crucible Staff Plans Issue, Names Editor The Crucible has announced its new staff for the spring semester.

On one hall will be a quiet study room and another a study lounge. One floor in each building will be carpeted in an attempt to make the areas more conducive to studying. If the experiment sue ceeds, more extensive areas of fu ture buildings will be covered with carpet instead of tile. After the dormitories are com pleted, a new physical science cen ter is to be erected immediately behind the engineering building. It will be partially financed by he National Science Foundation and the Higher Education Facili :ies Act; state funds will provide he remainder of the money. When finished the building will contain both the chemistry and physics departments. The top "loors will be used for research labs while the bottom section will provide a 300-seat classroom, sev -ral 100-seat classrooms, and some s i a I I e r classrooms and labs. There will also be a science library in the new structure, and a com puler center if funds are available. A "musical chairs of existing departments" will take place when he chemistry and physics depart ments are moved to the new cent:,r. lcording to Dean Brunton. This will be part of an attempt to make better use of space now available is well as adding new buildings. At present some classrooms are n use all day and laboratory space is so limited that labs must be conducted at night. The addi *ion of the new building will -reatly help to alleviate this prob lem. A School of Nursing building will be constructed as soon as the physical science center is com pleted. It will replace McCutchen House, one of the older buildings on the USC campus. Heart Fund Enlisting Aid Of Students The Columbia Heart Fund As sociation has issued a call-to-arms for student volunteers on Friday, February 26. Students will be needed to help solicit contributions on Main Street, at Five Points, and in the shopping centers. Those interested should sign their names, box numbers, and phone numbers by Monday, Febru ary 15, at WUSC radio station or the Gamecock office on second floor of Russell House, or contact Mim Russell, student chairman. These names will be turned over to the central office, and volup teer's will be contacted. An invitation dinner to studlents who work on the campaign will be given in March at the Governor's mansion. In the 15 years since its found ing, the Heart Fund Association has been iresponsible for a steady decline in the rate of death from heart disease among all age group)s. The advances have been so great that highly complex sur gical procedures which would have been very dangerous a few years ago can now be performed with very little risk. It has been estimated t h a t approxdiately 100,000 Americans owe their lives to Heart Association Research. All contributions collected by 6 p.m. Friday will be turned over to a booth at Home Federal Sav ings and Loan Association on the Northeast corner of Main and Washington Srees.a
