Establishment of the group has created student furor seldom evidenced at USC. The group, composed of a Graves-selected representative from each sorority and fra ternity and three independents, met for an organizational meeting Tuesday night. The gathering ended with few united behind the Graves-set task. Another meeting is sched uled for next week. Greatest opposition of the study as ex pressed by members of the group and other Carolina student leaders rests with the areas of discussion suggested by Graves. They include: "1. anti-Greek feeling among Caro lina students; 2. the need for Greek-letter social groups to move off campus; 3. the possibility of prohibiting first semester freshmen from participating in rush; 4. the Greeks' problems in elections; 5. the possi bility of increasing social functions and op portunities; 6. and others. . . ." Most of the above problems, quoted from Graves, are Intrafraternity and Panhellenic Council concerns. Also, most are allegedly being handled by the respective Councils. Members of the IFC and Panhell are vocal in their opposition to the study group in that they feel their authority is being en croached upon. Considering the name of the committee as formed by Graves and the five areas of discussion specifically sug gested by him-we are inclined to agree with those who oppose the group. WNe salute Graves for his valor in suggest ing the committee, but wish he had con When The ChE At this writing-three days before the Alabama game, the cheerleaders still have not been affirmed that they will be able to go. It's hardly fair that members of the fac ulty and board of trustees get flown to the out-of-town games while half the cheerlead ers have to stay here; but reservations haven't even been made for those that do go to stay over night.

TI' main tenet of the whole matter-open mindedness toward discussion-is a step in the right direction. It is good to see gen erally apathetic people fired into action be cause they think their self-interests are in danger. As the group meets again next week-it is our hope that both contingents get fired in the same direction. Some Sour Grapes People suffering from "emergencies" like, sniffles, coughs, etc., are reminded to drag themselves over to the infirmary before 5 p.m.., after whch the doctor is on call but not on duty. It's not that much to ask. * * * Memo to the multitude who waited until TIE last minute Tuesday to get their pic ture made and stood in line four hours: serves you right. * * * Memo to law students who write ugly let ters: at least we "wet-behind-the ears edi tors" have the nerve to sign what we write. * * * We're sorry the swimniming pool had to be closed, again for lack of funds. The amount of money needed to operate the pool was dis proportionate with the number of people using the pool. This is understandable, but we hope the University won't always be forced to cut these kinds of corners. hering Stopped There's a lot of work involved in making p)osters, organizing pep' rallies and jumping and yelling through every home game. We fail to see why it's not just as important at the away games. If ahi the cheerleaders are NOT p)ermitted at the last minute to rep)resent us in Ala b)ama, we~ trust Athletic Assistant George Hogan will have the reason why for us by next week's issue.

A cer tain amount of concern h a s been expressed by students as to the pur ) o s e s behind s u c h commit tees, which in volve a study of Religious GRAVES Life and the Fraternity- Sorority system as parts of the University as a whole. I firmly believe that as long as there are questions, as long as things do go wrong, then there is always room for study and imi provement of campus organiza tions and aotivities and relation ships. When things are as nearly perfect as they can possibly be, then we can sit back and rest on our laurels. But this is not the case. There fore, it is and must be the func tion of student government to study problems that touch stu dents; it is also the function of this group to serve as an im biased group, to attempt to find out what is the best of all possi ble ways for students to live on Carolina's campus. The work of these committee does not conflict with students who have certain loyalties. Instead, it is the job of these groups to study these problems and to use their knowledge and ability to try to find solutions. It's that simple. What harm can it do? What's the mutter with seriously trying to build ia better Carolina? THE PEP RALLY For those of you who do not know it, there was a "spontaneous Exchange Cornt Tambles 1 This year, students at Oregon universities will "grade" t h e i r professors. The plan was devised by the Oregon Legislature as a means for providing merit pay as an inspiration to classroom teachers. The legislature has set aside $500,000 in college salary funds to b)e distributed among merit winners as bonuses for the best undlergraduate teachers in the Oregon university system. Each participating college will dlecidle its own ground rules. At Eastern Oregon CoMege in La Grande, for example, students nominatedl candidates for the honuses, and the fiunal decision was left to the presidents and (leans of the college. This plan should be beneficial to the studlents and professors alike. (Now the p)rofessors will get a chanice to see what it's like to walk a chalk line, too.) . . . Hlow is your intelligence?

Residents of most of the men's dormitories were on hand to take part in the proceedings. I live in 11, a freshman dormitory, and watehed the goings-on from the open terrace of my room with some 15 freshmen. There were cheers and shouts, displaying a pretty good example of school spirit. But there were also confisca tions of I.D. cards of those who attempted to leave the veil-block dormitories. And there were the big flashlights shined in my face as I stood watching. And there were residence counselors and hall counselors dispersing the crowd. And so, another Carolina pep ratly camne to an end.

'Tle University Players could per- 1 haps just be called an "interest group" on the Carolina ca1MIus. But, it seemis much mnore. It i,, inl a way of speaking, a "miority group." Don't get the wrong Idea; it definitely is not some sort of subversive organization. Instead it is a group of students and faculty members devoted to building a better Carolina through drama. Drama is truly a part of the learning experience. ly seeing actors in a play making mistakes, loving, being happy - we can see what these things are like and learn for ourselves. Capote's play is a beautiful play, filled with h u m o r. The characters are real ones, with hearts and feelings of their own. Throughout the play there is a search on the part of some of the characters, a search for them selves, to find out who they really are. And this makes it a good pliy for us as students to see. For we can understand the r e a s o n s behind this search; we can under stand this need to find ourselves, this need to be needed and loved. Again, don't forget to see the fall production of the Players. You've read the cast in The Game. cock. So see for yourself the finle work done by Duke Ebert, technii. cal director; Truman Ilendersou, costumes; and, of course, Mrs. Phyllis Fleishel, the director. There will be lots of familiar faces in the play - Gary Cline, John Carpenter, Liwry Lindberg, Jim E. Quick, Karen Deas, Doni MacliMahon, and lots more, along with somnie ew comers such as Diane lall aid Dean Cooper. I've had a terrific time work ing with the Players a little on this production, and I'll be on the stage in a small role. I hope I'll be looking at you. To the E<litor Mear Miss Roessle: The policy of the AdminiAtra tion toward school spirit smells of hypocrisy. A recent example was the di -- persal of another inilroniptu p. rally on Davis Field by "ig rliother" and "lloys in Blue." A usually happens, whenever therlem is any attemlt to bolster Ca.( lina's lagging spirit by the tu dents themselves, "lig Ilrother" miarches into the bod (o studlnt and drags a few off to the in qutisitioln.
