For as long as we can remember, student

of that community has been sadly lackinj
for the same period of time-indefinitely.
For example, one member of The Game
cock staff asked a simple question of a Uni
versity administrator this week: "Whai
item sold in the Campus Shop draws the
greatest profit?"
The administrator told The Gamecock hE
didn't know. When asked who could issue
an answer, he said, "I hope nobody does."
We hope this example of cooperation i5
not typical. We don't believe it is.
Cooperation at Carolina has been grow
ing as more and more people-students, fac
ulty and administrators - realize that the
common goal must be a greater University
and that all must work together to achieve
that goal.
Student Government has taken a valuable
step this week in lessening the information
communications gap by establishing a com
The committee which will aid in planning
uses of Carolina Coliseum will have student
representation, The Gamecock learned this
week.
A few years ago, this might not have
been the case. But now there will be a stu
dent on that committee.
And it's another challenge. Can students
accept the responsibility? Yes.

It's Slater time again. We hate to con
tinue the gripes of past generations, but
can't something be done to avoid thorns in
the vegetables such as we saw one student
pluck from her plate Wednesday night.
Or can't something be done to avoid a
visitor's finding a bolt in his macaroni and
cheese? (Not this year).
The visitor, incidentally, asked how the
bolt could have come to be in his food, we
are told. The answer? It must have come
from the dishwasher.

However, I had expected the c

mission in the executive branch for inquiry
into "behind the scenes" in campus prob.
lems.
The commission is not designed for per
secution; it is not aimed at creating "dirty
linens." It is intended to give answers tc
difficulties which have been too long in the
air on this campus.
The effort will require willingness to in
form on the part of those who hold the in
formation, and willingness to be informed
by those who are seeking answers. Without
the support of the student body-support
by presence at the scheduled "hearings,"
the movement could easily die.
We hope that each segment of the Uni
versity Community will cooperate to the
fullest extent in this effort to "clear the
air" at Carolina.
Students Govern
It was a pretty good election week for
those who cared enough.
The Elections Committee-we must give
an A for long hours of effort-kept order
better than has been done, we believe, in
the past.
There was a new ballot, thanks to the
Computer Center thinkers (non-computer
ized thinkers, that is), and students had the
names on the ballot as they voted.
Still, there was that nasty word "apathy"
all over the place. For instance during
Wednesday's runoffs, a candidate ap
proached a linen service line outside South
Building and asked how many of the 23
people had voted. Two replied they had cast
their ballots, and the other 21 said they
would vote when they re-entered the dormi
tory.
The candidate watched as all 21 passed
by the polls, entered the elevators and
whisked away.
We hope that the 21 enjoy their clean
linens more than they seem to enjoy their
voice in "students governing."
Attacks - Again
Two more students were attacked on the
Carolina campus this week-coeds, this
time.
What must happen before this com
munity heeds the warnings that have been
issued, re-issued and (ungrammatically) re
issued again?
Death?

Dear Miss Carroll:
We all have parking problems
at USC, some more than others.
What to one seems an answer
to this problem does not seem a
feasible solution to another;
therefore, married students liv
ing in the University Terrace
area have to make do with that
which they have been allotted.
In this area, there are 182
apartments, for which there are
allotted a total of 68 marked
spaces and approximately eight
unmarked spaces. This would be
a good ratio if all drove Volks
wagens, and only married stu
dents parked in these spaces.
It seems to be taken for
granted that only married stu
dents park in the lot adjacent to
the undergraduate library. This
is not the case in this "24-hour"
lot.
It is most heartening to hear
that the University has received
an appropriation for needed
lighting in the Terrace area, as
well as those areas of study
such as the libraries.
I would like to think that "in
cidents" which have occurred in
the Terrace area and others
were not the sole cause for in
creasedl lighting.
It would seem difficult, if not
imp)ossib)le, to value the life or
sanity of a human in terms of a
light bullb or added police pro
tection. Yet, this would seem to
be the faictor retied upon.

A Humor

By JOHN CARIIIAUGHI
Editorial Assistant
For the gloomy stories hidden
between the covers of the seldlom
readl Crucible, a worse fate than
to be read is to be ignoredl.
Although the Freudian over
tones of the title of Aware's
Cleavage gives rise to hopes of
gUod readling insidle, the mate'rial
in the magazine evokes only
laughter. It should have been
publishedl as a humor magazine.
After all, USC needs a good
humor magazine. These students
can take a poke at Tom Terrific,
Elbejay, andl whomever or what
ever elIse th(ey please in a man
ner which appeals to the student
body as a whole, and not merelv
to esoterie groups of readlers.
Such magazines are p)opular on
college campluses throughout this
nation, and are inexpensive to
publish. It's time for USC to
have a humor magazine. ('er

Our Man Hoppe
Sir Ron
By ARITHUR HOPPE
All right! All right! Stop that
caterwauling, c h ii (d r e n, and
daddy will tell you just one
more fairy tale about Sir Ron
aId of Holyrood and his faithful
squire, Sancho Nofziger.
Let's see, how about the time
Sir Ronald met The Civil Serv
ice? Oh, it's a wondrous story.
Hand daddy his martini.
Well, as you remember, Sir
Ronald and the faithful San
cho were hacking their way
through The Tangled Thicket
in quest of (shudder) The Un
ruh, that fearsome creature
who dwelt somewhere deep in
its murky depths.
Suddenly, in a particularly
tangly part of The Tangled
Thicket, Sancho paled and held
up his hand. "Oh, look, Sire,
what lies ahead across our
path!" he whispered.
"Is it The Unruh ?" cried Sir
Ronald, hopefully drawing his
famed Swinging Sword:
"No, Sire, it's The Civil
Service. See, it has a thousand
heads, a million arms and bris
tIes all over with a zillion
needle-sharp pencil points."
"What an odd beast," said Sir
Ronald. "And what does it do ?"
"Do?" said Sancho, looking
perplexed. "No one rightly
knows, Sire. But the wisest
course is never to disturb it. Let
us tip-toe past, smiling politely
and tipping our visors. And,

students on the necessity to pre
serve our American heritage of
freedom through a government
of just law, constitutional gov
ernment, and a respect for law
and order in society.
On foreign affairs, YAF op
poses appeasement of Commun
ism, supports our servicemen
fighting overseas, and favors
winning the war in Vietnam.
USC YAF last year presented
campus programs on our free
enterprise system, the war in
Vietnam, and national polities.
For the more quiet and more
"cholarly Conservative, who
prefers reading to action, let
me suggest the Carolina Con
servative League, a USC club
affiliated with the Intercollegi
ate Studies Institute, Inc.
Their aim is to stress reading
into philosophy, economics, his
tory, education, etc., in order to
acquire those ideas which will
allow our society "To Educate
for Liberty." The Conservative
I.eague presents solid intellec
tual arguments to refute our
American drift toward statism.
If those stude(nts who considler
themselves Conservative, would
join either or both Young A meri
can for Freedlom and the Caro
lina Conservative Lecague, they
would have no needl to worry
about we'll- financed extreme lib
eral groups like Aware gaining
a foothold among resp)onsib)le
Carolina stude(nts.

"Say no more," said Sir Ron
aid indignantly. "I fear neither
man nor beast. I shall prod it
awake and demand its aid
upon our quest."
"Oh, please, Sire," pleaded
Sancho, "leave sleeping Civil
Services lie."
But it was too late. For Sir
Ronald had boldly struck The
Civil Service across the rump,
his Swinging Sword giving forth
a clang as it met the creature's
mystic armor of tenure. It lifted
one of its thousand heads and
slowly opened a sleepy eye.
"lola, varlet!" said Sir Ron
ald. "I am Sir Ronald of
Ilolyrood. I have conquered
the Evil Governor and now
rule this fair Golden State."
"Then I pledge you my eternal
fealty," said the creature with a
yawn. "For the next four years."
"Pay no attention, Sire," whis
pered Sancho. "It says that to
each new shining knight who
passes this way." u
Hut Sir Ronald prodded the
drowsing creature again. "Will
you join me then," he said, "in
our glorious quest in the cause
of decency, purity and just
plain goodness?"
"You may count on me to do
my duty loyally night and day,"
it said. And, plonk, it went back
to sleep.
"Good," said Sir R o n a 1d.
"Now, to win through to victory,
we must sacrifice our holidays
and work . . ."
"Aaaggghhh!" screamed the
creature at the mention of the
word. And it went galumph
ing off in all directions, bel- i'
lowing, "There's a nut on the
loose! There's a nut on the
loose !"
"I never laid a swordl on it,"
sa1id Sir Ronald, much awedl.
"Well, never mind, Sancho, we
must press on in our glorious
quest-alone, if needls be."
"I fear," said Sancho with a
groan as he prepared to follow
his master, "that we are getting
more so every dlay."
