A new era in USC football
begins Saturday night when

his young andI inexperienced
G;amecocks to Baton Rouge for
a season-opening clash with

The game will be a home
coming of sorts for the new

helped lay the foundation for
the present LSU football pro
' rama during his seven-year
(enur'e as head coach of the
Tigers.
Bunt he does not exp)ect to re

LSUJ fans are still angry at
I )ietzel for leaving to become

have worked1 themselves into an

of Saturno'e game.

Managing Editor
Widespread confusion w h i c h
blankets the Carolina campus each
fall was increased this year by
the arrival of some 4,000 new
members of the Carolina Com
munity.
Most of the 4,000 came Sunday,
creating traffic jams in most
areas of the campus and crowds of
people in any area where informa
tion was available.
"Iow can I get to . ." was on
the lips of most additions to the
Carolina Community.
That question and a number of
others were at least partially an

game.
Sophomores Toy M c C o r d ,
who is replacing the injured
Butch Reeves, and Tim Bice
will start in the defensive back
field. Gene Schwarting will
hold down one of the end posi

who was red shirted last year,

Freshmen were divided into
orientation groups by schools for

THE AGENDA
Tours of the campus, tests, and
general information about the
Car0lina way of life and social
events made up the agenda Mon

Vice President for Student Af

general meetings.
iHe told the freshmen, "Even
though at college you will be
pretty much on your own, I want
to assure you that there are many
people here to whom you can turn
for help, advice and counseling."

Thomas F. Jones, Dean of Women
Elizabeth Clotworthy, and Dean of
Ifen L. Eugene Cooper who added
thiIr welcomes.
THREE PHASES
President Jones described the
total introductory program in his
message to students.
"As a iember of the Carolina
