The Honor System is revamped, the grading system is down to Babes In Voteland We had determined in September to re frain from "Please don't throw gum wrap pers on the horseshoe"-type editorials. Sup posedly we outgrew them in high school. But some people don't outgrow anything: the ones who were tearing campaign posters off the wall below Preston in the middle of the night. Also the junior politicians who didn't take down their smiling slogans after the polls closed; guess they assumed the g.b.' had nothing better to clean up. We had to assume that the freshmen in volved in elections really cared about the school and each other; Fairness and responsibility doesn't start with the oath of office; nor campaigns ... anyone who didn't bring it with him to Caro lina better pick up his pacifier and toddle home. Tippee... The Campus Shop is selling record albums at down-marked prices. At last they're stocking something more in demand than comic ashtrays.

We make up only inches of Carolina's growth while it's responsible for four years of ours.

Undoubtedly the male sex has very little to offer you if you are so narrow as to believe all the men at Carolina are unclean. The majority of men students I know are quite fastidious individuals. It has been my sorry experience to know a few who are not, but has there never been an unclean female student here? The vast majority of Carolina men smell of expensive colognes.

While the magazine as a whole was judged "excellent," the rating service suggested the inclusion of more essays, reviews, features, andI satire. The editors of the C:rucible can follow this advice only through the cooperation of student writers. These students would not only gain recognition through publica tion in the magazine (which, by e Corner I of all phases of university life were to be aired by students, staff, faculty, or administrators who chose to get a numbered IBM cardI which determined speaking ordIer. According to the Colorado D)aily, the crowd listened to the protests from 10 p.m. until 3 a.m. one night. G;ripes ranged from the toilet paper in the dorms to the very complex social issues at the bot tom of the de-personalization of today's student. Though only stu dents took advantage of the five minute bitching time, faculty and administration are now aware of the students' opinions. The success of the effort remains to be seen. Sigma Nu's at the University of Texas have decided to pay the property taxes on their $100,000 fraternity house after a district court ruled in Austin that the fraternity is "more social than religious." The chapter had previously as serted it was primarily a religi ous and educational organization and was tax exempt; then they had to pay $2,300 to prevent the introduction of photos showing the Sigma Nu's and their dates partying in Roman togas and LON lpj Wa Le line fumes and burnt tobacco, perhaps you should check your own supply. BENNETT SCOTT 0 0 0 To the Editor Dear Miss Roesele: In Oct. 22 The Gamecock there appeared a letter concerning all the men of Carolina. It seems that one of the females here is questioning the cleanline3s of us males. How dare she insinuate that we are dirty! How dare she state that "washed girls" com prise the only group of clean students on campus! There was also a remark about boys and bubble gum. This is IPATf8N'S KITCHEtPJ V V. - IT MIGHT BE DANGEROUS!" zine s Functio the way, has no copyright affect ing the writer himself) but also would receive valuable criticism from a variety of other students and faculty. They would also in fluence beginning writers who use the Crucible and other college literary magazines as a basis for developing their own style and talent. Certainly, the benefits of contributing to publication are mutual on several levels. This year the Crucible is inter ested in printing student opinion on practically any subject. It is hoped that the magazine can be come an outlet for intelligent and responsible expression from stu dents and faculty. Satire is also a sought-after commodity this year. However important the above considerations are, it must not be forgotten that the primary pur pose of the Crucible is to serve as a cultural outlet for the Univer sity. To some, humor and debate would debase a magazine which bills itself as literary, supposedly established to publish examples Eniertainnmen Don Qui Rarely there appears a motion picture of which the adaptation from a great work of literature not only remarkably resembles the author's original conception, but also succeeds in captivating a foreign audience's compreheni sion. Cervantes' D)on Quixot'e, modified for the screen in Span ish by Antonia Abad Ojuel, is such a film. A CFFC presentation, D)on Quixote, directed by Rafael Giel and released by "Films d'Espagi.", Inc.," cleared up many of my prep-school ideas of "the mad knight-errant who fought wind-mills" by presenting Cer vantes' classic with the taste and honesty characteristic of so fine IQetuLe C clearly an insinuation that we men are immature. May I ask what proof she has of this? Do you women enjoy the company of immature young men? Her state ment appears to me to be an in Sult to all the girls here who enjoy going out with Carolina men. It was further stated that our bodies are decaying and that our grades are dropping. I have not yet seen a boy fall apart from decay, and I challenge her to prove that uncleanliness Is caus ing our grades to drop. It seems that she is worried about the dropping of school standards. Perhaps it would be more bene ficial if she worried about the many girls whose standards are dropping. We regret that anyone thinks we are unsanitary and that we smell. We hope this is not the opinion of the majority of girls. Would you prefer a Carolina without men? We feel that the remarks in that acrid letter are insults, and we politely ask for an apology. WAYNE RADCLIFFE 0 0 0 To the Editor Dear Miss Roessle: The letter concerning the use of soap among male students has created quite a stir. In fact I think anyone considering invest ing in stock should watch Proc ter and Gamble. After seeing the results of that letter, I would like to see the re sults of a letter to the editor about one of the pet peeves among the male students of Carolina. My complaint, which is shared by many of the other men around campus, is about the use (or mis use) of eye make-up among the women of Carolina. I have come to the conclusion that quite a few of the women of Carolina are fighting rather than switching. THOMAS PETRUSICK n Explained of the art of writing, however subdued t h e s e examples may sometimes appear. To far more, the "arty and way-out stuff" is somewhat objectionable. The pres ent policy of the magazine is to maintain a middle ground be tween these two positions, select ing the best from all styles and themes that come into the office. Contributions are still welcome to be included in the Fall issue, as the deadline has been extended to November 15. The Gamecock is intended primarily as a voice for stu dent opinion and news. We welcome letters fromt 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.

I could hardly believe what I saw, or what I didn't see, for the display was shockingly unimpressive. One would expect the major state university to "go all out" to show the people of the state just what it has to offer. In stead, there were merely a few posters and a sparse selection of literature. The booth wasn't even manned at night, when the big gest crowds were there. Later I discovered that the USC Television Center had placed a camera and monitor in the booth for the entertainment ci passersby, but I understand this was not a direct effort on the part of the department in charge of the display. As I recall, the University has used the same lo- 4 cation for many years past ano has never really done much, but this year was more of a disgrace than a promotion. NAME WITHHELD BY REQUEST REPLY TO MOO U. To the Editor Dear Miss Roesele: This is just a short reply to the infantile letter from two Clem son students which was published in last week's Gamecock. The rea son that it is short is that a letter like that does not merit too much consideration. It just makes you mad. The same letter appeared in the Charleston News and Courier, and five other USC students and I replied to it at that time. While there are a certain obnoxious few who persist in getting staggering drunk and ruining the game for those around them, we wrote, the great majority of Carolina stu dents handle themselves as ladies and gentlemen at all times. This is more than I can say for the Clemson students that I observed at last year's great Gamecock vic tory in "Happy Valley." No more need be said in reply, except to paraphrase actor Terry Thomas in the movie, "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World." I should be most hesitant about offering any criticism whatsoever about any other school. JOHN LOTTICH USC, Class of '66 * 0 0 To the Editor Dear Miss Roessle: The letter reprinted last week from the Clemson Tiger has its good points and there are such occurrances at Carolina home games of which we are all aware. Assuming the "J. L. and B. T." are Clemson "men," their feel ings toward Carolina and other I schools of our state are under standable. Following an ancient Clemson axiom, "A Clemson Man needs no introduction," may I add, "you can hear him bragging a mile away." Schools such as Furman, Wof ford, College of Charleston, The Citadel, and USC have produced graduates par excellance and fully qualify as institutions of higher education. Are Clemson games without blemish or inci dent? I think not. ROY S. CLIFTON, JR. Graduate School e Missed EUGENE WILLARD catching Barbra Streisand'. re peated speeial on TV.
