This conclusion is hased upon my
own observations as well as the
numerous articles to this effect
which have appeared in both The
Gamecock and other newspapers.
Just how effective are the cam

parking regulations - no one
seems to know just how many
tickets are issued, how many are
paid, or where the money goes?
As for the possibility of being
"mugged, assaulted or robbed" on
campus, I seem to remember an
incident of this nature which oc
curred last year, as well as the
"assault" upon the G e n e r a I
Robert E. Lee Memorial tree, in
spite of - or perhaps because of
-the quality of our University

Warwick University in Coventry,
England, this semester as part of
one-for-one university exchange
program.
Warwick and USC differ not
quite so much as the plays of
Shakespeare and Tennessee Wil
liams, but almost. The British
university of about 900 students
is situated a few miles outside of
Coventry, an industrial city a bit
larger than Columbia. It is known
primarily for its automobile fac
tories, which turn out all Tri
umph and Jaguar oars, and a
magnificent Cathedral built in a
modern style of art to replace the
one destroyed by Nazi bombing
during the last war.
Only seven miles to the south
west Shakespeare was born and
laid to rest in Stratford-upon.
Avon. In the towns dotting the
rolling countryside near the uni
versity, excepting Coventry, one
can see the same houses and
buildings which stood five cen
turies ago.
The students come to Warwick
for a variety of reasons. Sonme
come to enter the outstanding
rchool of history or the progr-es
sive eeo n om ies department ;
others to e'njoy the h i s t or i c
beaiuty of midllands England.
But all of these students seem
to want to take a part in the
b)uildiing of Warwick from the
infancy to genuine fame as an
excellent institute for learning.
Warwick was new last year with
only 4100 students. Last year the
beginning was hectic, but this
year, with the hammering of a
building program, just as con
fuiised.
Each year there is planned for
the university an expansion until
b)y 1980 Warwick will boast 18,
000 students oin a 400-acre plot.
Today classes are held on the top
floors of the library, a 15-minute
stroll through the woods from
the cafeteria and administrative
buildings, which constituted the
entire campus last year. Soon
the campus will grow until the
stroll wil not be through empty
spaces, but amid dormitories,
class buildings and shops for the
st udents.
South (Carolina has a heritage
and a unity of school spirit that
this school lacks, one4 of many
reasons why I feel that this se
nmester will be. an in formative
chiange. The whlool is dlifferent,
the studien ts differ more tbhan
you migbt believe, and the nmetbod
o,f edlucat ing, as a whobe, is va~stly
di fferent.
