The University Players will pre
sent "The Grass Harp" by Tru
man Capote on November 11, 12,
and 13 at Drayton Hall.
A fantasy with moments of
pathos and comedy, "The Grass
Harp" was first published as a
novel. A stage adaptation by
Capote opened in New York in
1952.
Under the comedy of "The Grass
Harp" is a serious theme, the
conflict of the world as it is and
a world of unreality.
The stage settings for the play
have proposed a major problem
since three scenes take place in a
huge tree. People who find life
unbearable take refuge in this im
mense tree, which represents a
perfect world free of mundane
Debaters'
Schedule
Released
The USC varsity debate team
has begun the first in a series of
tournaments to begin the 1965-66
season.
Wednesday of this week Dick
Goldic and Gloria Smith left for
a tournament at the University of
Kentucky to compete with the 20
best tean from the Midwest.
Next weekend John Werts and
Mac Coble will attend a tourna
ment at Chapel Hill. On Oct. 29
Garret Van Seters and Marty Price
with Robert and Thomas Salane
will compete in the Dixie Tourna
ment.
Nov. 11-12 USC will host a
tournament which 40 colleges and
universities will attend.
This year the question for all
debate teams will be "Should law
enforcement agencies in the United
States be given greater freedom
in the investigation and prosecu
tion of crimes?" This subject was
chosen by a national committee
made up of members of the Ameri
can Speech Association, the Ameri
can Forensic Association, and
delegates from the National Speech
Fraternities.
Because of the growing interest
and importance of collegiate debate
the Congressional Digest devotes
one issue to the subject chosen for
that year. Five publishing com
panies print nothing but literature
on the subject. The debate season
is also covered by several national
magazines such as Newsweek and
Time.
Thirty-five students have tried
out for the USC team. Six mem
bers returned from last year. They
are: seniors Dick Goldie, John
Wertz, Marty Price, and Garret
Van Seters; junior Gloria Smith;
and sophomore Mac Coble. Other
members of the team are: Robert
and Thomas Salane, James Goldie,
Beverly Mills, James Turner, Jack
Heuer, Bruce Thompson, Hutsin
Davis, Jim Cox and Bob Jones.
Dr. M. G. Christophersen is the
debate team coach.

New Telephoi
To Alleviate i
Due to expansion and the un
expected growth of telephone
activity at the University, there
now exists throughout the campus
a problem of limited number of
lines for use.
New telephone equipment, which
should alleviate this problem some
what, is expected to arrive at the
University in December.

worries.
According to Phyllis Fleishel,
faculty advisor for the University
Players, the play shows that how
ever inviting the retreat may be
into a perfect world of dream, that
one must return to reality either
by his own choice or the force of
fate.
The cast of characters for the
play include Lowry Lindberg as
Dolly Talbo, a middle-aged lady
who seems to be dominated by her
sister Vereena, who is played by
Mimi Wilkinson; Don McMahon
as Collin, a seventeen-year-old boy
who has been kicked out of school
and is living with his aunts, the
Talbos; Karen Deas as Catherine
Creek, the Talbo maid and com
panion to Dolly Talbo; and Eu
gene Cox as Dr. Morris Ritz, a
flashy con-man.
Also in the cast are Jimmie
Quick as Judge Cool, Ramona
Lorick as Miss Baby Love Dallas,
Tommy Huguley as the Reverend,
Lacey Shockley as the Reverend's
wife, and Gary Cline as the Bar
ber.
Other characters are the Baker's
wife, Linda Baroody; the Post
master, Charles Nixon; the Sher
iff, John Carpenter; the Choir
Mistress, Donna Williams; and
Maude Riordan, Diane Hall.
WHERE'S TI
USC activities-the ones our University
fees were supposed to keep going-won't
be as active as they planned this year.
Student Union, Student Government,
The Gamecock, The Garnet & Black,
WUSC, and eight others are ailing with
monetary malnutrition-meaning, the al
locations just didn't stretch far enough.
Eight dollars taken from about 7,187
students paying a University fee, for two
semesters, added up to $115,000 to be split
among student activities.
But S. C. residents paid $120, and out
of-staters $295; where did the rest of the
approximately $2 million go?
It wasn't for tuition and it wasn't for
dorm rent. And we presume it wasn't for
2 by 4's and timber since a specific $10
"building" assessment was tacked onto the
fees cards.
We know some of the $112 or $287 goes
to the Athletic department, for our "sea
son's ticket" to the Carolina all sports
panorama. Rah Rah.
HOW MUCH?
Even members of the administration
have requested a breakdown of How and
Who spends our money. Why is it being
kept such a deep, dark secret?
More University fees HAVE to start
going to student activities, or they won't
be able to operate. Here is what's hap
pened for this year:
The Gamecock was cut approximately
$7,000 (don't expect any 16-page issues!)
)RIAL
lE M4ONEY?
The Garnet & Black was cut $3,000
their publishing costs have risen from
$27,000 to $41,000 in five years.
The budget of the University players
was cut in half, the YM-YWCA by one
third.
We will be charged one dollar extra for
all eight Student Union Concerts, the
Crucible will publish only two issues this
year; and WUSC may never be able to re
pair its lines to be heard all over cam
pus.
It was the fault of neither the adminis
tration nor the allocations committee that
this happened; the money was distributed
as fairly as possible. There just was
hardly any to begin with.
The per student increase is WAY over
due. The allocations committee recom
mended that at least $13 per person can
be contributed from our University fees.
Th's recommendation was forwarded to
the Board of Trustees, who as yet haven't
commented on it.
We'd like to emphasize, that an increase
per person for student activities should
NOT mean RAISING University fees!
NOT without first telling US what our
money's being spent on!
And if the Board of Trustees, or who
ever is holding the purse strings, would
prefer not to say where the money is go
ing, we'd like to know WHY we shouldn't
be told.

Elections
By JANEAN MANN
Staff Writer
The nomination convention for
freshman class officers and for
the 1965 homecoming queen will
be held in the Russell House As
sembly Room from 2 to 5 p.m.,
Tuesday, October 19.
To be eligible for nomination as
a freshman officer a student must
have a minimum College Board
score of "904" or a "5" on the
entrance exam. Each candidate is
required to present a petition con
taining at least 10 signatures and
must be nominated, at the con
vention, by some person other
than the candidate.
All fraternities must nominate
their candidates for homecoming
queen at this time.
Following the nomination of
candidates, the rules and regula
tions of campaign and election
procedure will be reviewed. All
freshman candidates not present
at this meeting will be automatic
ally disqualified.
Freshmen will elect four class
officers and five senators. This
is one senator more than form
erly permitted due to the large
freshman class.
Student body Vice President
Thorn Compton urged all eligible
freshmen to take part in the elec
reshman
Planned
tions. "There is a great need for
qualified freshmen in the Senate,
now and for the coming years,"
he said. "The future of the Stu
dent Government is critical due to
the new constitution and the con
tinuing growth of the Carolina
campus. These offices provide a
great challenge and an opportun
ity to learn more about student
government functions for those
interested students," C o m p t o n
added.

The ancient order of the broth
erhood of Epsilon Epsilon Epsilon
held their first gala gourmet
gathering of the season - the
second annual Yeast Feast Thurs
day morning - to the tunes of
"Onward, Tri-Ep Brothers" and
that old standby "Viva La EEE."
Grand Czar Karl Beason and
Grand Czarina Stephanie Adair
called the chaos to order and an
nounced the new officers for the
year: Roxy Matthews, Vice Czar;
Dewain Herring, scholarship
chairman; Chris Edwards, high
co-ordinator; and Pat Roessle,
grand herald. Named to the Tri
Ep Advisory Board, not to advise
Tri-Ep, but the campus, were Joe
Alderman and Bertie Green.
Rush results were again favor
able. Tri-Ep once more swept all
other campus organizations by
taking 100 per cent. Beaming
pledges include Suzanne Hender
son, Randy Shirley, Janet Blanks,
Frannie Daniels, Tom Geer, Char
lie Farrell, and Duffy Allen.
Also, Jim Wallace, Pat Roessle,
Ellison Smith, Ed Tucker, Mary
DeLoache, Sally Turner, Freddie
Williams, Sig Huitt, and Jim
Poulos.
Also Panchita Gaud, Kent Hun
gerpiller, Bill Youngblood, Pam
Tovey, Carol Workman, and Ann
Brown.
After the Explanatory Lecture
and other unmentionable sacristies,
Tri-Ep invaded the campus to
spread the Tri-Ep spirit through
out the classrooms.
Tri - Ep recognizes slackness
wherever it is found, always on
the lookout for new prospects. Let
your Tri-Ep light shine.

By SIG HUITT
Managing Editor
Plans for Carolina's homecom
ing celebration Oct. 30 continue
to progress even though free cuts
from classes that day have been
denied.
Early in the week, reliable
sources told The Gamecock that
there was a chance that the stu
dent-planned festivities would be
cancelled due to lack of support
expressed from the administra
tion.
Dismissal of classes Oct. 30 was
the subject of discussion Wednes
day as Student Senate passed a
bill urging that the annual occa
sion be made an official Univer
sity holiday.
The Senate action came follow
ing a week of student-administra
tion bantering as to whether the
festivities would be recognized by
the University.
The bill introduced by Sen. Jim
Bell, who also serves as Home
coming Chairman, called Home
coming "a tradition essential to
the promotion of school spirit"
and "essential for maintaining
alumni relations."
The main subject of disagree
ment concerns the Homecoming
Parade scheduled to be held Sat
urday morning, Oct. 30. The early
afternoon game necessitates that
the parade be held while classes
are in session. Student leaders
have planned the event on the as
sumption that classes would be
dismissed as they were last fall.
In reply to queries an adminis
trative spokesman said:
"Students participating in the
Homecoming Day Parade last
year were excused from classes
