A USC student has been tempo

juana from his dormitory room,
according to Dean of Men L. Eu
gene Cooper.
-tooper said that during a search of

noon, one and one-half ounces of
marijuana were found. The drug was
analyzed and weighed by members of
the State Law Enforcement Division,
he said.

Cooper, Asst. Dean of Men William
Klepper, C a m p u s Police Sgt.
Grover H. Lynch and a residence
counselor.
Ie student has been suspended
pending his appearance before the
discipline committee sometime next
week, Cooper said.
During the last year, he said,
three other cases of drug rule in
fractions have been handled.
Seven students were involved In a
pep pill case last spring. AU were
subsequently put on probation. This
fall two eases of marijuana have been
handled, Cooper said.
Some marijuana was found in
two students' rooms, and both were
placed on probation until June 1,
1969, Cooper said.
Cooper told The Gamecock several
weeks ago that "we would search
the room of the student, within his
presence if possible," if specific in
formation were provided the dean of
men that marijuana was in a certain
room.
He added that if students party
ing or living off campus were ar
rested and convicted of drug law
violations by city police, the Uni
versity would take action.

Sammy Drew, in a statement
issued before the service, said,
"By holding the memorial ser

solicitude over the situation in
Orangeburg and are paying our
respect to those who died. The
service is purely memorial in na

W e s I e y Foundation Minister
Robert E. Alexander said in his
address at the service in Rutledge

sooner or later there was going to

change those structures in society
which create hatred and deny men

Ken Price, president of the Afro

said in his statement: "This state

time for each and every person to
react to it by saying to himself
that I will do everything in my

Although a police permit was

Student Senate moved Wednes
day to commend the student body
president, to censure the student
body president and to study the
authority of the student body presi
dent.
The Senate was called into execu
tive session soon after convening.
When the closed session ended,
three resolutions dealing with Fri
day's memorial services were in
troduced.
'The Senate created a commission
to "study the problem of executive
authority and the authority of the
Senate in relation to these circum
stances of last Friday."
The Senate heard a proposed
resolution to concur with the deci
sion of Student Body President
Sam Drew and another to censure
and reprimand him "for taking
action on his own" and for "pub
licity that this action was on the
part of the whole student body
government."
The resolution to concur and the
resolution to censure were referred
to the Rules Committee.
Student Body Vice President
Denny Royal called the meeting to
order and moments later designated
it as an executive session.
Only elected senators, Senate of
ficials and designated student body
officers were allowed to remain
present.
The proceedings of the executive
session were not officially divulged.

W Revisu
y Gradua
Referring to the abolition of
draft deferments for most grad
uate students, Morris said, "Ap
plications will certainly go down.
Many students in their first year
of graduate school will be drafted
and will not be back."
The following change in draft
regulations was announced Friday
by the Selective Service System:
"Under advice received today from
the National Security Council with
respect to occupational deferments,
the Lists of Essential Activities and
Critical Occupations are suspended,
leaving each local board with discre
tion to grant, in individual cases,
occupational deferments based on a
showing of essential community need.
"With respect to graduate school
deferments, the National Security
Council advises that it is not essential
for the maintenance of the national
heahih, safety, and interest to provide
student deferments for g ra d ua te
study in fildks other than medicine,
dentistry, and allied medical special
ties; except that this recommenda
tion does not affect existing regula

In its original form the resolution

executive authority.
The Senate suspended the rules
to allow immediate consideration.
The resolution p a s s e d with an
amendment proposed by Sen. Da

Senate authority but limited the
study to last Friday's "circum

college this year, as well as those who
entered the first year of graduate
school last fall."
Under the present procedure, the
older registrants are called first.
Dean Morris said, "This system
could result in the infantry being
filled with older men, many Mas
ter's and Ph.D. candidates."
These, according to Morris, lean
toward the intellectual and are
possibly deficient in many quali
ties required of a soldier.
Morris held out hope for a revision
of the regulations. "Hearings in Con
gress are probing the idea of taking
the necessary quota proportionately
from various groups of college stu
dents." Other changes ae also being
considered to reduce the Impact of
the new regulations.
"It won't destroy the graduate
school," Morris emphasized, "but
it will adversely affect our rate of
growth."
Statements predicting dire short
ages of teachers, lawyers, and other
professional people are "somewhat
exaggerated," according to Morris,
"but as Dean of the Graduate
School I am certainly not pleased
with the new rulings."

S t u d en t B o d y President
S a m in y Drew answered stu
dents' questions in regard to
last week's memorial service on
a special WUSC radio program
Sunday night. Following are
excerpts from the program.
QUESTION: In your statement
you said, ". . . that we have prob
lems." Are you referring to the
racial issue in general, or do you
think we have problems here at
USC?
DREW: That we have prob
lems with the racial issue in
general needs no confirmation
from me. My reference is more
specifically directed to our own
campus. The problem of the
Negro on campus feeling re
jected by the student body is
evident when a group of Negro
students cheers opposing teams
because they have Negro play
ers. However, I do not feel that
this rejection is by the majority
of our students against the
Negro; I believe it is a matter
of the majority of students
ignoring the situation.
QUESTION: When was the klea
of a memorial service first con
ceived?
DREW: On Wednesday after
noon after confirming rumors
that other colleges had planned
such services, we decided to set
up our own.
QUESTION: Why wasn't it an
nounced until 11 p.m. Thurday?

Answers
questions
DREW: Because of the time
factor involved to enable us to
hold the services simultaneously
with o t h e r colleges. Working
around the clock, we were not
able to get publicity out until
5 p.m. when the service was an
nounced.
QUESTION: Was any attempt -
made to get the opinion of the
student body?
DREW: It would have been
impossible to get a student con
sensus in such limited time. I
had to rely on my advisers, in
cluding those cabinet members I
was able to contact, student
body vice president, and certain
close associates who are influen
tial in student government work.
QUESTION: As Student Gov
ernment represents the student
body, don't you think that the
state and nation will believe the
entire campus supported the me
morial service?
DREW: I don't believe that is
necessarily true. Approximately
300 of our 10,000-plus students
were present, which certainly
doesn't affirm the support of
the entire campus. Also it is
the legislative branch, the Sen
ate, that more accurately re
flects student opinion, theoreti
cally at least. The memorial
service was an executive deci
sion since it was not possible,
due to the time factor, to obtain
a Senate consensus.
