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.
Carolina, when, oh, when?

According to Nursing School
Dean Amy E. Viglione, the Nurs

may have a chapter of this hon

spring semester. A committee in

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.

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

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

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

the outstanding fraternity man

Large-scaled entertainment is

not yet been made, the idea of a
'pasture party" has been consid

party where expensive facilities
wouldn't be required. Kendall in
dicated this idea hadn't been well
received by some of the IFC mem
