Fear Day
Of Exams

What do they have against the
Freshman Class? Maybe it is a
little too large, but do they have
to make the semester eliminations
look like mass execution? Strength
comes in numbers, and anyway,
who believes in a superior race?
Who are these men who pro
claim themselves to be professors
- our educators? They stand tall
above the poor students and wring
their hands (all the while holding
their gradebooks) as they an
nounce with a sarcastic smile on
their faces and a gleam in their
eyes, that there will be enough
space for all the new second se
mester students.
If nothing else marks the in
dividual freshman's d e f e a t, the
pre-exam frenzy which includes
tension, study, lack of sleep, more
tension, the p r o f e s so r who an
nounces that some 60 per cent of
his students have succeeded in
failing his course, fear, and, of
course, tension.
Actually all this is very statisti
cal. A certain number of students
must leave or the University will
be unable to house all the new
apl)licants. But if you try to tell
student number 877777215 that he
is one of those who must move out
you will be letting yourself in for
some r a t h e r uncouth language.
But you had better tell number
877777215 that he is a freshman
in the lower quarter of his class,
and that he has to go to Viet Nam,
or maybe just go home. You must
tell him that the flunked courses
are an important part of his uni
versity career and education. You
tell him that and try listening to
what he has to say to you!

history of the t h e a t e r (two
courses), advanced a c t i n g, and
play direction (two courses).
Also available are theater lab
oratory, public address, oral inter
pretation of English literature,
argumentation and debate, voice
and diction, playwriting, stage
design, costume design, and philos
ophy of oral and written per
suasion.
Assoc. Prof. R u s s e I Green,
under whose direction the expan
sion of theater studies is taking
place, said the courses in dramatic
literature already available in the
department of English will pro
vide ample cognate material for
students majoring in theater.
Students seeking the bachelor's
degree with a major in theater
will spend their freshman and
sophomore years largely in the
study of g e n e r a I liberal arts
courses and will begin pursuing
their major courses in earnest in
the junior year.
Among the 17 major courses
available, 14 are in theater sub
jects and three are speech courses.
Graduate studies in theater are
also under consideration, with
existing c o u r s e s providing the
foundation for expansion.
Prof. Green said there will be
four major plays produced an
nually at the University of South
Carolina under faculty direction,
and that one-act play production
and direction will be among the
requirement.s of students in the
directing classes.
Panic Grows

Vex Students
You're sitting tensely in an air
port waiting room, pacing a train
station floor, or maybe squirming
in a chair at home, waiting for
your parents to get ready to leave.
Within a few short hours you will
again be facing your roommate,
your unmade bed, and your text
books.
Looking back over your vaca
tion, you recall the late nights
with old friends, the late mornings
in bed, and those sumptuous meals
cooked by mother's own hands.
You also think of the last few
days before the holidays, your
ifight with your girl, the term
paper ass igned the day before you
left, due at the endl of the week,
andl how far be hind you were in
your other subjects. Then exams
and the dIraft enter your mind.
Still, the one thought at the
front of your mind is, "It'll be
G,RE'AT to get back to (Garolina!"

The art of espionage has always
had its romantic appeal but the
urrent trend for spying seems
.o have broken all records.
A couple of years ago a fairly
ow-budget movie entitled "Doctor
No" Was released starring Sean
Ionnery and Ursula Andress. Its
success was immediate and over
whelming. Its makers instantly
nade plans for numerous sequels
which we know as "James Bond
rlicks." Since these films were re
eased, the market for anything
)ertaining to espionage has sky
rocketed.

Cloak and Dagger
The age-old symbol of espionage
has been the cloak and dagger, but
no more. Modern day movie spies
wear tuxedos and $500 suits and
of course, fashion-conscious males
want to imitate them. There is no
longer any market for the old
cape, unfortunately. The dagger
has been replaced by the automatic
pistol and a million or so imagina
tive devices such as ejector seats
and wrist watches that turn into
strangling cords. Not too many
of these devices have been sold to
the general public . . . so far.
How long the spy trend lasts is
anybody's guess. No matter what
happens, the good guys will be
battling the bad guys somewhere,

Students of 1966 have changed
ittle from those of 1805, the year
vhen the South Carolina College
'irst opened its doors.
To commemorate the 161st an

mn January 10, 1805 history pro

When the College first opened
t had one building-South Build

he end of the first session in July
nrollment had risen to 29.
Entrance exmiis required that
he student translate Caesar's
Iommentaries and Virgil's Aeneid
rom Latin to English, as w%ell as
ave a working knowledge of
;reek, arithmetic and English
rammar. Although freshman stu
lents were risiniz early enough to
ttend chapel at 6 a.m. and were
tudying subjects such as Greek,
'atin and Sheridan's "Lectures on
,locution" they were not above
uch practices as "smoking and
hewing tobacco," according to
;overnor John Drayton.
During the 1820's, window break
nig by Carolina students becane
uch an expensive pastime on the
-ampus that each student was as
essed a $5 per year "glass tax"
o pay for damage to the campus.

md the 108 withdrew.
In the 1860's typical social
gatherings on the Carolina cam

It "Negro fiddler." Eighteen

At the annual Carolina-Clemson

[lenison 3-0, the first victory over
the agricultural college since 1912.
Activities of the '30's included
dances, smokers. and riding in and
on rattletrap cars. Many students
worked their way through the
University with the aid of Na

The question of the year in the
summer of 1941.1 was "Will there

The answer was yes! The femi

the scourge of freshman students.
The Naval and Air Force ROTCs

Today, University students are
still protesting the food and hours
for women students, but they
have a new complaint unheard of
by their predecessors-the com

Although the decades have
rolled by since the founding of
what was then the South Carolina
College, it appears that the college
student and his campus trials and
tribulations are little effected by
the changing times.
