Dec. 8, 1965, the Student Senate unani mously passed a bill urging televising of home basketball games. Acknowledging the great student interest, the remarkable young team, the noted coach, and the minute Field House, the group felt that every effort should be made to allow every student to get his money's worth for athletic fees paid. Student government was told that the plan was being investigated by the adminis tration. Even after the closed-circuit television wires had been strung, rumors persisted that the equipment would not be used for basketball. The opponent to televised basketball was found to be Coach Frank McGuire. The veteran coach saw immediate tele vision as a deterrent to student interest and to the large crowds he hoped to draw. Admitting that he had turned down com mercial television offers, McGuire stated he didn't change policy in the middle of a sea son. He also said he liked to see lines at his games. After three days of maneuvering, we ---Carolina, Wh4 couldn't help but feel someone was giving us the run-around-the eternal, internal power strugglers of the University. Notwithstanding a rash avalanche of quizzes by thoughtful professors-we pro ceed further. The going was slow from the first. On Tuesday USC President Jones; Business Dean James Morris, faculty chairman of ath letics; Athletic Director Marvin Bass; and Dean George Curry, whose duties included supervision of USC television facilities, were out of town and could not be cornered for comment. Finally the elusive McGuire, refusing to see the student body president, condescended to blurt his policy over the phone, giving in to television not an inch. Spurred by prompters, the new Gamecock editor immediately tried to get -the- core of the tale. Having no luck getting Coach McGuire's office or Field House, where he claims to be-we were successful in unearthing the coach's unlisted number. (Telephone num bers of high University officials, even the often-called deans Clotworthy, Cooper, and Witten, are listed.) Dn Oh When? We wefe informed at his home that the coach was out for the evening and a call to him later would be allowed. Following up, we were interrogated and told the coach wasn't there and to contact Tom Price, Sports Information Newis Director. We called the forewarned Price who shot us McGuire's same policy line. Amazed at the seeming stubborness of McGuire-an individual with reputed finesse and plenty of experience at keeping a good image despite the fact that scandal rocked his previous empire at Chapel Hill-we thought perhaps the Associate Athletic Di rector's superiors were pressuring him not to change. We then found that THE Athletic Direc tor was not the Associate Athletic Director's superior. Still concerned, we long-distanced Sol Blatt, Jr., athletic chairman of the Board of trusty Trustees. Even though his supposed influence had proved unsuccessful when asked to aid student government in obtain ing Homecoming cuts, we thought we would risk a call. He was said to be having dinner in Augusta. While the goateed Dean Curry continued to make himself unavailable for comment, his immediate superior, Dean Patterson, laughingly acknowledged that television fa cilities were available. The long-awaited call from Coach McGuire came late in the afternoon. Complaining about the two unsolicited early-evening calls to his home the night before, the Irishman emphatically restated his views. Wednesday the game came and went, none too quickly-untelevised. And so an event ended as it was planned to end all along. Hours of student expression had, as in the past, gone unheeded. Now, as in thi past, all we ask is for stu dent interest to be considered. Carolina students have long endured-the days of indifference, intolerance, and ignor ance are fleeting - students' patience is wearing thin. The University exists for the students the sooner all faculty, staff, and adminis tration realize this, the better.

According to Nursing School Dean Amy E. Viglione, the Nurs ing School hopes that Carolina may have a chapter of this hon orary society by the end of the spring semester. A committee in terested in forming a chapter of Sigma Theta Tau at USC was formed in 1962 when the Nursing School became accredited. President Jones has expressed enthusiasm behind the efforts of the nursing students to obtain a chapter of Sigma Theta Tau. "The establishing of a chapter of this national honorary society will bring new recognition to our School of Nursing and will pro vide another Incentive for superior performance," he said.

Student Senat( Several Motior In a Student Senate debate Wednesday, Senator Doug Dent introduced a bill urging the Ad ministration to provide funds for filming all away basketball games, and to have the films shown in Russell House the week following the games. Dobate centered a r o u n d the probable expense of filming and showing the games. One estimate by a senbator was well over $1,000. The bill was sent to committee for further study. A bill by Senator Stephanie Adair was passed which recomi mended that classroom buildings be kept open the afternoon and eveningr of Sunday. Jan. 30 so Ground For Sci The "biggest academic move USC has made in a generation" will get under way Monday mor-I ing when ground is broken for the new eight-story science center. Cited by Dean of Administra tion Harold F. Brunton as "the biggest thing that's come along in a long time," the structure will rise at the corner of Devine and Main Sts. in the space now oc cupied by a student parking lot. Upon completion it will house the USC chemistry and physics F departments and supporting fa cilities. A large portion of the structure will be devoted to grad uate studies, including research. Students will be asked not to park cars on the lot behind the Engineering Building after this weekend. To compensate for the loss of space, a new parking area will be created in the vicinity of IFC Slates I As Greek V By AL DOZIER News Editor The USC Inter-fraternity Coun cil has revived the once traditional "Greek Week" which was aban doned in 1962 because of resulting expenses. Vice-president flaynes Kendall said a Greek Week committee formed under the chairmanship of Ed Tucker has reorganized the' seven-day event with several in-. novations and a lower budget for March 7-12. The lower budget was a necessity, according to Kendall, since the 1.962 affair ended with a disastrous assessment on the Greeks. Though plans are not yet com plete, Kendall gave the following schedule as tentative: A convocation will officially be Discusses is At Meeting that students would have an op portunity to check their first se mester grades before the confusion of registration. Other action introduced and sent to committees for further study included a bill asking that a gate be placed in the fence in front of the Undergraduate Library, a bill asking the library to remain open on Saturday nights, and a bill which would require all Senators to attend sessions on parliamen tary procedure and Senate rules, and to pass an exam on the rules before being seated. The Senate holds its regular meetings every Wednesday after noon at 5:30 p.m. in Room 205 of Russell House. The public is in viied to attend. -Break] ence Bi Wheat St. near the intramural fields.

The -ororit-y song fest. the Greek "col ege bowl" modeled after the TV. juiz program, and an all-star bas <etball game from selected fra ernity men are tentatively sched iled for these nights. Tuesday and Wednesday after ioons, several workshops will be 'ield on the different phases of Greek interests including rush, 1ousing, alumni relations, etc. Wednesday afternoon will be ipen house on fraternity row hosted by sorority women as well is the fraternity men. Kendall said the workshops and the open house were new ideas to the old Greek Week and said they were added to revive interest in the annual affair. The highlight of the week will be Thursday night's IFC-Pan-lell Aw%ards Banquet. Outstanding fra ternities and sororities will be recognized and selections made of the outstanding fraternity man and sorority women of the year. Large-scaled entertainment is planned for the entire Greek com munity over the weekend, March 12. 13. Though definite plans have not yet been made, the idea of a 'pasture party" has been consid ered. This would be an outdoor party where expensive facilities wouldn't be required. Kendall in dicated this idea hadn't been well received by some of the IFC mem bers. Greek Week is new to most of the fraternity and sorority mem bers on campus as it was discon tinued in 1962 after large assess ments brought disfavor on the pnmiet [ng Set Aiding Lrants has been awarded to the University to aid in establish ment (if the center. For graduate facilities in chemistry $550,650 was contributed by the National Science Foundation. The Higher Education Facilities Act wvill pro vide $702.850 for other graduate aecommodations an(d $601,000 for undergraduate. The remainder of the cost will be covered by funds from institu tion bonds supplied by tuition. Occupying a total space of 185, 000 sq. ft., the building will con tain a 300-seat classroom, a sci ener I i ) r a r y , and numerous smaller classrooms and research laboratories. LeConte College, where chemis try and physics are now housed, will be converted to classrooms for other curricula. Completion of the new center will greatly increase the adequacy of accommodations for science s*udies. With an eye to the fu ture, tentative plans are also under discussion for the building of a new unit described by Dean Irunton iL "something big for humanities." 1o Special Test Asked For Math 11 Admission to Mathematics 11 and Mathematics 13 will no longer require a special math test score, according to the Office of Ad missions and Registration. Admission to the University will be the only prerequisite to these courses. A score of 550 on the Mathematics part of the Scho lastic Aptitude Test of the College Entrance Examination Board is required for eligibility to stand the exemption examination to by pass Mathematics 11 and 12. Also effective beginning Spring semester, admission to General Chemistry (Chemistry 11) will be by a minimum score of 410 on the Mathematics section of the SAT. Rule Lowers GPR Needed For Program New action by the administra tion has lowered the grade re quirements for students partici p'ating or wishing to participate in the USC work-study program. The 2.0 GP~R formerly required of undergraduates has been re placed by the following minimum grade standings: under 39 hours, 1.6; 40-69 hours, 1.8; 70 and above hours, 1.9; and graduate and law students, 2.5
