Last year cuts were granted "with the understanding" between the administration and faculty that they would not be sought again. But we don't "understand" why they are so unseekable. Now Intra-Fraternity Council, in the name of tradition says it will still sponsor the parade. But why should any group of students work for two weeks building a float that they will never see? That three fourths of the student body will never see. Some of the faculty may think we're mak ing a big thing out of nothing. Well, we think they are-As if one suspended class could upset anybody's lecture program that radically. The thing is, individual teachers and ad ministrators we've talked to favor the cuts. Wish they would get together. You N4 Religious Emphasis Week (Feb. 7-9 this year) Isn't religious (there's more to it than religion) Isn't emphatic Isn't a week . . . Te Last Word Before we become type-cast as the Slater System Slam Sheet, The Gamecock might as well give you another side of the story. M and N cafeteria does now serve to non board planners. Grilled cheese sandwiches were available at South dorm last Friday. Slater breakfasts are less expensive than almost anyone but a grocery store. Slater furnished refreshments for occa sions like the opening of M and N; and they give away lemons, salad dressing, tartar sauce, cranberry jelly, catsup, with meals. They are under new ma:nagement this se mester, and many of their innovations were sincerely planned in our better interests. Maybe it takes a few weeks to get used to our appetites.

[ntended Everyone wails that Carolina has no school spirit, no student unity. Then along comes a spirit builder and we're fenced off from it. Classes used to be suspended for Big Thursday, but now the Clemson game is barely different from any other. We get together and burn a tiger, ring a bell they beat a drum. Carolina has no traditional big weekend left but homecoming. We owe it to our alumni to make the most of it. It's all very noble to say, "loyalty to USC runs deeper than football." it does but come on now, THOUSANDS are spent every year on the care and feeding of our football players, because (and we quote administra tive sources), "somehow a good football team just seems to build a school spirit." So do the events surrounding the game, if we get to take part in them. ame It The week means different things to dif ferent people. This year's committee is ask ing us, the different people, to suggest a more appropriate title. For those who don't know (and these won't all be freshmen) R-E Week is a yearly series of plays, panel discussions and pro grams revolving around one or more main speakers. It's not a prayer meeting and it's not a revival. Depending on participation, R-E Week can be a thought-provoking, educational ex perience. We believe any outside ideas brought into our basic academic curriculum are an important function and duty of the University. There's a catch to all this though. The tentative theme this Feb. 7-9 will be APATHY. If no one responds with title suggestions (note box, bottom of page), it will at least prove the aptness of the theme. It may prove us so apathetic we're beyond reach of emphasizing anything. ;wavesyrd ster; especially East Carolina, comes to Carolina hat the student with the interests of the students 3coming commit- first in her concern. unctioning and Elections. since early sum e a very large In this issue of The Gamecock < may have been is an article giving the schedule nling is the big- for fall elections.

In both capacities I was called upon enumerable times to request more participa tion in student activities and also to boost school spirit. To me, school spirit cannot be requested. For a student to have school spirit he must first be proud of his Alma Mater. I feel that Carolina merits our pride. But how can students be proud of a school who is so ashamed of its Alma Mater that they do not even play it at a ball game. There must have been a reason for not playing "We Hail Thee, Carolina" at the N. C.

Why should freshmen be placed in an advanced class and then he unable to change their schedule if the advanced work is beyond their knowledge? Perhaps a system could be in augurated in which a freshman with advanced standing could re quest a schedule change during the first two weeks of classes, rather than only during the first four days of classes. If the stu (ent has received advanced standing, the lost time should not prove detrimental to his academic success in the subject. The work required on the part of the administration would be insignificant compared with the obvious advantage afforded the student, because as the student acquires a better knowledge of his subject he benefits himself and the reputation of the Uni versity.
