If students procrastinate, they must get the idea from the teachers. Re the bombard ment of last-minute hour quizzes all this weck. By exam time we'll be too exhausted to drink more coffee. Doesn't (creiyone know what the signs around campus about ROOM mean? Nearly one-sixth of the ceiling in the Gamecock office fell in last week. Now we don't want to comiplain . . . ; there's also the plaster peeling off the walls near the ele vators in four-year-old South dorm. We know the gopher holes of construction can't be helped, but it's too bad the sidewalk C(Iuldn't have been torn up over Christmas holidays. And finally, before the next home game, couldn't the senate come up with an answer, a means of combatting the paper throwers? The, are the one groulp on campus with the authority to do something.

Winthrop, and other colleges in the state finish their semester before Christmas, Carolina will drag theirs on as usual through January. Since faculty meetings are closed to stu dents, we do not know what objections were found to Engineering Dean Rufus Fellers' plan. It seemed so logical. In comparison: Fellers Plan Same Old Schedule Christmas recess begins Dec. 15-23 Dec. 21 Return to school Jan. 11 Jan. 3 Graduation to be May 13 June 3 The drawbacks were loss of Thanksgiving and Spring breaks. But anyone desperate for these could have used class cuts. Short ening each semester by nearly three weeks should have made up for the lack of a five day recess. Dean Fellers' plan did not even entail com ing back in the middle of August as Clemson did. Registration would have been Aug. 28, not even jeopardizing most summer jobs. Part of the fault is ours. Both the letter below and this editorial should have put forth their four cents worth before the fac ulty meeting. There's always 1967. The only way to test out a new plan is to be our own guinea pigs. We balked at chang ing the six-point grade ratio, we're trem bling at the prospect of IBM registration. But the only alternative to change is stand ing still. And if the schools in this state aren't going to be progressive and take in itiative, what is? s Coming H.

Alpha Lambda Delta, women's scholastic honorary, sponsored the celebration of Founders' Day. My speech for the occasion con cerned "Caro lina Today"; below are my remarks. A talk on USC today would usually be a discus sion of her ex panding c u r riculum, t h e a d d i t i o n GRAVES of new schools and new majors, the raising of schools to the level of college. The immediate building plans would be discussed, includ ing Memorial Hall, the Russell IIouse add(ition, andl the multi story science building. The growing graduate pro gram, the expandled use of IBM and television, the raises in faculty salaries, the nuclear re actor, a new major offered in Theatre Arts-all of these things would be spoken of with pride as p)art of today's Carolina. And these things are gre*at; these things are basic and neces sary for a great Carolina. These are things we have seen come abouL in a very few years, things of which we can be proud. Yet, all these things are, in a way, secondlary - secondary to the basic, fundamental purpose of our University: to fully ed ucate the men and women of this state and nation and world, to offer a well-rounded education to those who qualify for accep tance; to give training in living as well as in physics or German. One can come to Carolina to (lay from any status, any race or creed. One's personality, one's beliefs, one's desires - all these things go uinquiestionedl. We bring ourselves, as we are. And at Carolina we are not told to change. Instead we are allowed to change, grow, participate in new experience, tA) change our high school philosophies --- slowly per haps, but always in our own time. 'Through our work in the class room, in the laboiratory, our dlormitory life, the issues brought out by student government, the editorials in our c'amp)us news paper, in ouir social dleal ings - G;reek - cente'redl or otherwise our poh1 tical or initerest groups, our religious p)rogram, service or leadership organizations -- or simply through our own personal, SWISH goes the mighty hand again, ald again.

Some of this space (guilt com d ders Day of Carolina grow, painfully some times. Through the interaction of these things with our academic life, we are educated at Caro lina; we are inspired; we mature. Carolina today offers us as students, opportunities and ex periences which we can use in our educational growth process. Yet the most important thing Carolina gives is the freedom to use these things as we wish for our own good. The YMCA, the social fraternity, the Young Democrats, the nuclear reactor, the Theatre Arts major, the graduate program - all these things exist for us. And they exist so that we might find them useful in whatever our purpose is. So our University has a tradli tion of greatness -- for its fa cilities, its curriculum, it.s other offerings are tremendous. Yet the University, today is only as great as its students. And today more and more students are coming to Carolina with what they have, opening themselves to new ex periences and pihilosophies. This is Carxolina today --not a science buildhing or a College of Blusiness Administration-but individual growing students, with pu11rposes andl names of their own. /!

Sani My staff. They love to see their names in print. Seriously (here comes the mushy part), on this whole page I couldn't name the hundreds of students, administrators, faculty whose dependability keep this newspaper and in fact the Uni versity going. The Gamecock is just a small part of Carolina. Every person here is a part of Carolina and part of the news in The Gamecock. After a four-semester matri archy, the school and the paper are way due for a male editor. Any expression of my unending confidence in Sig here would sound like straight out of a soap opera, but its there anyway. Janean and Barry too, already accustomed to putting in about 40 hours a week on the paper, they'll manage alright. Okay, now it is 4 a.m. Pre sumably anyone with SENSE is studying for exams and not read ing this anyway. The Editor the professor poll the students as to whether they favor "exams before Christmas or not." Assuming (correctly or incor rectly) that my professors were representative of the e ni t i r e faculty, it seems to me that the faculty made a decision which affects the students without conl sualting the students. This is un fair, to say the least. I, for one, am strongly in favor of the "Fellers' Plan." I hope that the faculty will recon sider this plan, after having saimpledi studlent opinion. D)ENNIS K. HOWE 0 0 0 TELEVISED BASKET4. D)ear Ed: C'oncerning the controversy over the closed circuit televisinlg of basketball games: We hired Frank McGuire to head our has ketball program. Any decisioni s0 closely connected with the game should be his. Few people are ignorant of his qualifications to make such a decision. A similar television set-uip at U1NC was harmful to the baisket ball program there, and the question of one here would not have arisen had there not been so much foot-dragging over the new field house. Further delay would find comfort in a closed circuit program. Coach McGuire has already turned down numerous offers from commercial television sta tions; offers that, if accepted, would have been valuable to him personally. Being one of the tOP basketball men in the country, he must know what he is dloing. Besides, changing the policy inl mid-season is poor policy. Finally, ask a certain few hundred of your fellow studients (the amount estimated as field house overflow) why they lent their ID) cards to Clemson stU dents Monday night. TERRY PRICE
