Nothing to pay & CLEANERS &T BLOSSOM B Mort nOmRMflOsha Kenne As Po Humphrey Invited To By CARL SIEPP News Editor Sen. Robert F. Kennedy has de clined an invitation to speak at Carolina "in the near future" be cause of a heavy campaign agenda. But c a m p u s politicians were hopeful this week of appearances by U. S. Vice President Hubert Humphrey and former vice presi (lent Richard Nixon. Kennedy, invited to USC by Stu (lent Government, replied this week he could not come. Humphrey and Nixon have both been invited, but neither has definitely accepted. HUMPHREY INVITED Bob Van Keuren, chairman of Moving Harold Brunton said. Executive Parking Committee Chairman Allen Thames and Stu dent Body President Sammy Drew recently went before the Building and Grounds Committee of the Board of Trustees with a proposal for a 500-space high-rise parking garage. As a result, the Board authorized the administration to obtain the enabling legislation and then to acquire all the land on the east side of Pickens between Senate and Pendleton. "On the basis of this authority, the University is taking steps to at least rent this land for parking so that it will be ready when school starts in the fall," Brunton said. The bill introduced into the legis lature would "authorize the Uni versity to issue tax-free bonds on a self-liquidating basis for the pro curement of land and installation of buildings for parking purposes," Brunton said. Seniors Seek Contributions Contributions are still being ac cepted for the senior class scholar ship fund. The seniors, seeking to establish an annual $250 scholarship, are selling tickets to Mako Automatic Carwash to raise funds. Tickets may be obtained by call ing class president Pat Naylor at 3314. D)onations may be sent to Class of '68, Box 2890, USC.

"We have reason to hope he will come, but we can't m a k e any promises yet," Van Keuren said. He added that if Humphrey can not be here, the group hopes to invite a member of his staff. Hum phrey announced Saturday his can didacy for the Democratic Presi dential nomination. NIXON MAY SPEAK Young Republicans m e m b e r Melvin Hanks was also hopeful that Nixon, a leading GOP con tender for the White House, might speak here late in May. Hanks, who invited Nixon to campus via letter in January, said Nixon replied the next month that he was interested in visiting Caro lina, possibly near the end of May. Nixon promised to write Hanks again nearer the time he was planning to come, Hanks said. i Hanks extended the invitation on behalf of the USC Young Republi cans. lie said Nixon's letter indicated the former vice president would not be in the state for an extended visit, but would make a special trip to USC. KENNEDY DECLINES Student government first secre tary Tom Salane said Tuesday that Kennedy, an announced candidate for the Democratic nomination for President, had notified student body president Sam Drew he would not be able to speak at Carolina. "I would very much like to take part in your Great Issues Pro gram," the New York s e n a t o r wrote Drew. "However, a heavily committed campaign schedule pre cludes my being in South Carolina in the near future." Kennedy was invited to campus early in April after he announced his candidacy for President. Stu dent government officials remained hopeful this week that the former attorney general could visit Caro lina next fall, if not this semester. Tom Callahan, chairman of the Youth for McCarthy organization, told The Gamecock that McCarthy had not been invited to campus be cause of his commitments to state primaries. "We have not invited him," Cal lahar said, "because it would be impo'ssible for him to accept be cause of his schedule. elity announ ik E.
