Exam & Why this, everyone keeps asking? Why such an unreasonable exam schedule? This semester at Carolina the exams have been crammed into one week, instead of the usual two-week period used in the past. Also, the traditional one-month notice of the schedule was not given to the faculty. They found it out last week. As a result, they have had no extra time to allow for conflicts in their schedules. Students too have two exams scheduled for the same time. And join with us in pitying the poor person who has one exam Monday (the first day of exams) and three the next day. Honest!

We, along with most of the Carolina Community, would like to know the reason for this time reduction concerning the schedule. We are also sure the unfortunate students who have two or three exams scheduled for the same time would like to have a solution to their problems, as would many harried professors. Perhaps a booth could be set up in the lobby of Russell House to answer exams questions.

Before I end this little spree, I would also like to give you some famous last words I have heard while being on the tower. The Gamecock is intended primarily as a voice for stu dent opinion and news. We welcome letters from any student or member of the faculty under the following provisions. Letters must be signed with the writer's mailing ad dress. We will withhold the writer's name if the letter requests it. However, we will print no letter that is unsigned. No one can deny that Mr. Bes singer is a refreshing addition to the South Carolina and national politi-:al scene. By introducing science to his fight for "preserva tion of white people," he has made a unique contribution to intellectual a n d governmental theory. However, we hope that this patriot will not cease to publicize the numerous important scientific discoveries that are being kept from the people. Rumor has it that Mr. Bessinger may be behind the distribution of a "Red, White and Blue Paper Concerning the Moon." Reliable informants tell us that this paper exposes a plot, financed by a "few international bankers and their associates," to capture the moon. Once the moon is captured. the green cheese of which it is composed (according to a certain scientific authority) will be dis tributed among the armies of the colored races. Thus, with an in sured supply of food, the colored races will be able to devote all of their energies to the domination of the "Nordic race." he Flick" for the up-coming month of movie treats.
