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.

long-time request that Senators be chosen
not from a particular college or school, but
from a particular residence group.
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.
