Carolina Attempt By RIIONDA CAULTON Staff Writer Did you know that almost 20 per-cent of the Carolina Commun ity population is c o m p o s e d of married students? This surprising number includes about half the graduate students and is expected to increase sharply within the next few years as grad uate enrollment jumps from 11 to 95 per cent of the total USC en rollment. y OFF CAMPUS Although the University houses these students in 429 apartments -University T e r r a ce with 182 apartments on campus, Carolina Gardens with i' apartments several blocks from campus, and, - Woodland Terrace with 175 apart - ments a few miles from campus i the majority of married students still live off campus. Obviously this large number of married students is bound to have to cope with problems much dif ferent than those of dorm resi dents. For this reason the Married Students' Committee was estab lished a few years ago. A special budget is formed for this committee by the S t u d e n t Union, and by these two groups a voice in student government has been won, a "Kampus Kiddies Nursery" formed, and various so ~s As Expo T1'here were two sp)ecific require ments that were n e c es s a r' y to (ualify for the Expo guidle posi tion. The person must have lived outside of the Unitedl States for a p)eriodl of time, and the ap)pli cant must have been bilingual in French andl E ngi ish. In 1965, V i c k i e spent her summer in France studlying at D i j o n andl Burgundy. During this time she traveled extensiv~ely throughout Europe. She attendled the Univer sity of Georgia and transferredl to USC in her s o ph om ore year. Vickie speaks English andi French fluently and Russian. She can also sp)eak a small amount of Vietna mese.

USC cheerleaders climb new truck for a ride arount Married | To Solve ( cial activities planned. This is the first semester the m a r r i e d students will have an active part in the student govern ment. Gene Dukes, Chairman of the Married Students' Committee, says that now problems previously ignored can be solved. "Nobody listens to an individ ual," Dukes said, "but they have to listen to an organization." SOLUTIONS SOUGHT Many problems are being un raveled, but there are such issues as inadequacies of housing, play areas for the children, and park ing that have become critical prob lems. Dukes also suggested the need for lounges for married students to gather, and a small nearby mar ket. He stressed that because of the parking situation, a family would "do without rather than give up a parking space to go to the store." The "Kampus Kiddies Nursery" is being operated by the Student Union for children between four months and four years old. The nursery is located at Woodland Terrace and has a capacity of 35-40 children. Students can leave their children there Prom 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays and 7:30 a.m. to noon on Saturday for $10 a week. Future plans include expansion !Interp re ter hopes to return to France after gradluation to studly Russian for' several y e a r s. Eventually, she hopes to be an interpreter. Re cently, Vickie has receivedl another honor for she has been selected to attendl Expo '70 in Osaka, Jap)an as a guidle-hostess. Commenting on her Expo ex p)erience, Vickie claims, "I have never had a more rewarding andl beneficial experience. There were so many personalities and nation alities that I was really able to :>roadlen my human understand ng. There seemed to be no barrier 'etween any of us even though we ill came from different countries* indl customs; we all felt excep)tion illy close." _____ - - 5 BIRD lE ANT ~e To Go!

WIVES' LUlB A division of the Married Stu dents' Committee, the Wives' Club, was just formed last January. Meeting once a month, this organi zation of 50 to 75 gives the wives a chance to meet together for a so cial visit. Speakers such as a pedia trician and a home economist have been previous guests of the club. Activities such as a bowling league, bridge parties, sewing, and exer cises are being planned for this year, plus a Christmas party for the children Dec. 12.

SOCIAL PLANS The Married Students' Commit tee plans to have two dances each semester and neighborhood cook outs, both of which proved suc cessful last year. The cook-out last May was attended l 900 people.

The Cheerleader Truck is a 1930 Ford pickup painted garnet and black, driven by the cheerleaders before pep rallys and at home football games. "The Truck is a spirit symbol," said Jimmy Williams, past head freshman cheerleader. "This school has no tradition of school spirit. But with the team we have this year and the truck, if the student body reacts favorably-t h i n g s could be looking up." The truck is on loan for four months from Ray Long of Long Equipment Co. Rivers Paint and Body Shop repainted it garnet and black at less than half the regular price. Shimmy's Restaurant provided money for the painting, and Moore Paint Co. supplied the paint. The s i r e n was furnished by James Barlet. Rusty Burress, head cheerleader, said that much of the credit for obtaining the truck goes to I)ean of Men L. Eugene Cooper and to the athletic department.
