A Very Speci
The Gamccock is off of its soap box this
week to say "thank you" to a group of peo
ple who understand and want to help our
university.
That group is the South Carolina House
of Representatives, and a particular expres
sion of thanks goes to the Ways and Means
Committee. The House has approved the
USC section of the appropriations bill. Our
section passed unchanged as recommended
by the Ways and Means Committee, grant
ing us in excess of one million dollars over
last year. With the House approval, Caro
lina is past the half-way mark.
A special vote of thanks goes to J. Clator
Arrants, House member from Kershaw
County. who spoke in our behalf. Represen
The Carolij
Once upon a time there was a small coun
try, Car(oillialna. anti q uite an ullusual coill
try it was. Caroliniana w as uniqueiI in that
it had no police force of an\ kind. Early in
it's history, the citizens, had met anid agr,eeid
to follow an hoior systei. All husiness had
been transacted on this h noIr s;ystem
throughout the history of this ad ctountr.
Any occasional dishonest actin %itas speed
ily )1unlished by the Citizenl's CMncil. usually
by banishing the offending individual from
the country. Honor was thc basic tInet of
Carolinian society. and the upholding of this
principle was the responsibility of the in
dividual citizen. With honesty. With hon
est\ in business transactions assumed, a
minimum amount of work was necessary:
and the citizenry generallk followed a life
of intellectual ursuits. Carolinians were
secure in the knowledge that any breach of
the hoinor principle would be reported either
by other citizens or merchants.
Nevertheless, it camIe to pass that an age
of moral turpitude and apathy descended
upon this happy land. Infractions of the
honor p)rincip)le became common; andm in di

tative A. W. "Red" Bethea wanted to tack
on a provision to the appropriations which
would limit the number of students attend
ing USC from out-of-state. He pointed out
that at present USC has 18-19 out-of-state
students.
Representative Arrants in his extraordi
nary speech told the group that the per
centage of students attending institutions as
Carolina and Clemson should be left to the
presidents of the universities involved and
not to the legislature. Bethea's proposal was
rejected.
To you1., gentlemen of the House and espe
cially the Ways and Means Committee.

,iana Fable
Because merchants were forced to spend
lmire tie11( (letecting unprincipled citizens,
less til1e was spent on mental exercises and
the er(dition of the country took a down
ward plunge.
The cry of the merchants alarmed the
Citizens ('uncil authorized the merchants
to establish the Merchants Emergency
Ptlice Force in order to control the irre
spinsible actions 01f the citizenry. The police
forCe thus institIuted had final .j urisdiction.
The ppulace protested the inconsistancv of
a lice ftorce in cinjunction with the long
accte)ted honor system. The Public outcry
was Viluble. but acti<m-s to remedy the sit
uatitn were infintesimal. Honest citizens
were cbuerned, but few were willing to
act. F)r the present, the apathy of the citi
zells f ( 'arIiniana has caused the country
to lose its uni(Iue place inl the world. Caro
liniana. without its honor system, is now
(ly ,ne among man v. It is hoped that soon
artiliniana will be able to proudly raise its
head as a leader, (1e a1v many.

For too long. southerners have
afforded themselves the luxury
Of in:-ompetent leadership. The
r,cont events in Selma, Alabama
are indicativ- of the kind of re

this caliber of leadership. Selnma

dire.t. r-sult of the failure of the
peopvle of Alabama to demand
purp,seful and forward looking
lead ership) their officials.

The quote of the week comes
from "The Dickinsonian" at Car
lisle, Pa. "Overheard in Snack
Bar: 'Bread is the staff of life.
Bread comes from barley and
yeast. Beer is made from barley
and yeast. Beer is the staff of
life!"
First from "The Mississippian"
and then from the "Purple and
White" comes the story of the
removal of the student news
paper editor at Delta State. It
seems a headline over a movie
column read "Pussy Galore Typi.
cal of James Bond's Girls" causel
him to lose his position. This
question is asked: "If Fleming
had named the character 'Kitty
Plenty' instead of 'Pussy Galore,'
would the elitor still have his
job?"
