Editorials Friday, March 4, 1966 Inevitable: Student Senate, with a rare spurt of in sight into the true problems facing Univer sity students, took preliminary action this week on a bill that could potentially help make the organization truly representative of the student body. The bill introduced by Senators Jim Mulli gan and Stan Applebaum provides that presi dents of groups now legally set up as student governments of specific areas would have a seat in the Student Senate. The bill is answering the inevitable re quest of established, operating governments who want to be insured that they have a representative to the Student Body's legisla ture. The bill also comes closer to. answering the Dark Of The Moon Thursday night the University Players draw back the curtains for their first pro duction of the spring semester, Dark of the Moon. Directed by Prof. Russell Green, the play will run through Saturday. The production combining comedy, drama and music stands to be one of the best ever produced at USC. A 24-member cast has rehearsed daily for over a month to prepare the treat. Prof. Green, and the cast need a "thank you" boost. We hope Drayton Hall is filled nightly. Think Selective Service's announcement last week tihat voluntary college qualification tests will be given this Spring throws a big question to the young man who faces the draft. The question, considered unfair by many, is to take or not to take, or will I be better off with or without it? According to Selective Service, students tre strongly urged to take the test, as it provides one more bit of criteria the local board may consider in (etermining which studonts are apparently more promising than others. The test will be available to both under graduate and gradluate studlents already in institutions of higher edlucation as well as to high school graduates of this year who are registrants and desir'e to take the test. The quiz will consist of 150 different items and a registrant will be permittedl a maxi mum of three hours in which to complete the test. The test is dlesignedl to explore four areas: readli ng comprehension, verbal relations; arithmetic reasoning; and dlata interpreta tion. Also, Selective Service guarantees that the test has been constructed so as not to give anty special advantage to any particular type of major field. ?eers dho RIGHTS PURPOSE? frne~hnai IJiaIr .1fr.

Proposed as a constitutional amendment, the bill is now in committee for study. We hope the committee will see fit to fav orably pass the Mulligan-Applebaum motion and that the Senate will authorize it to be voted on in the Student Body elections this spring. We're Anxious On Nov. 12 The Gamecock reported Stu dent Body President Jim Graves' appoint ment of a Fraternity-Sorority Evaluation Committee chaired by Stoney Denny to delve into campus problems. On Nov. 19 the paper announced the formation of a group to study religious life on campus. Raye Jones was named to head this special committee. Nothing has been heard publicly about the groups since their announced establish ment, We assume that they have been working hard, meeting regularly, and delving deeply. By now, over three months since their be ginning, they must have quite a report to make to President Graves and the Student Body. We invite them to make their findings public-we're anxious to see results of their research. Twice The hitch of the whole plan is that a stu dent can take the "voluntary" test only once. It seems hardly fair that one test be con sidered binding and hold such grave conse quences. For this reason, we believe that potential draftees over the nation should think and think again before signing to take a chance with the May 14, May 21 and June 3 experi ments. Beauty On Campus Residents of the towers (dormitory com plex can be especially proud of the beautiful job done in landscaping the exterior of the new structures. Beautifying the area with grass, shrubs and trees as a part of comp)letion of the build ings shows commendable forethought by Di rector of Planning Thomas Faris and Rich ard K. Webel, the University's landscaping consultant. The same team has' p)lanned immediate beautification of the South D)ormitory-South Tower area. Thank you both, it's good to see more beauty on campus. stors are greete'd Ta rtrwudhv sl p)retext of anm in- urie iL s niiul ogv e., We studlenitsc lp nr rgts ta r e our Negro stu- fuhtfratismen1)t o complaimi, ajlin eNamnditeSure pjetbag influence bgsJ)iheinustahiv ago). irt nia try 02raIlt1ys o' hs mll lm of events,. hnta olge saois h OE CARTER bs ners f(bitaiy :Mr. [Ted Le.- [esnec htrd 'ud ive alssistant to meitlolIahsfsrvc nts, was faculty isuwsadiefrnye,n* le exchange.
