Can Anyone
Control Registration?
It seems to be a good idea to let students handle regis
tration since they are the ones who must endure it twice
each year.
Registration is hard to predict, it is true. This can be
seen easily in Carolina's registration history. Our experts
have failed incessantly to bring it off successfully. Com
puters have failed, mixtures have failed and the students
themselves have failed. Not only do most advisers (and the
term must be used very advisedly) not know what they are
talking about, but students seldom listen to any good advice
and even less to registration rules.
Registration, to be controlled by anyone, must first be
studied, defined and categorized. Why should students re
peat the mistakes of their elders? Why not take a look at
registration before attempting to control it. The bill before
Senate implies that we, the students, are wresting control
from the administration, but the truth is that they have
not gained control of registration.
Surely more stations for the deans' signatures are needed.
Also needed are better methods of giving out card packets
and signing for individual classes. Another critical need is
for an efficient working advising system.
This requires registration officials - student or admin
istration - to look at school requirements. Many courses
required by schools are congenitally overcrowded and open
to only graduating seniors. Those who are scheduled to take
these classes in sophomore or junior years are closed out
and the cycle repeats itself. Is this an intelligent way to run
a modern university?
One provision of the Senate bill must be studied very
closely. That is priority groups.
Athletes being necessary to any institution of higher
learning, and training being necessary to athletes, we cannot
argue that they should not be given special status, no matter
how much it rankles us.
However, we can argue with the establishment of pri
ority groups on the basis of holding prestige offices. The
people enumerated in the bill are just a few of the many
who serve the University. But do any of them have a func
tional need to register under special conditions? Do they,
simply by holding office, have greater need than the average
student?
There are people on campus to whom the right to register
early could mean a great deal, even whether they could come
to school or not. They are the people who must work to con
tinue their education. They have not the time to engage in
the activities mentioned in the bill, but they have real need
of being able to regulate their schedules.
Registering early should be based on the need, not on the
office one holds or his friends on any committee.

Letters To The
Censori
Dear Miss Zalkin:
In regard to the question of
Larry Newton concerning the
censorship of movies offered for
public exhibition in Columbia,
the "narrnw-minded group" (in
his words) is none other .than the
local branch of a group called
"Citizens for Decent Literature,"
known as the CDL nationally.
The Columbia group has added
"and entertainment" to this title
bringing movies under their
scrutiny as well as literature.
This group is evidently derived
from some power of municipal
government as they use city hall
and have the police at their in
struction.
Concerning the movie in ques
tion, Theresa and Isabelle, mem
hers of the CDL were among the
first to view the film. At least
three of this group filed com
plaints with Columbia Police
Capt. Snipes, charging that por
tions of the film were obscene.
Capt. Snipes then viewed the film
and suggested that certain por
tions be removed or the manager
of the theater would face possi
ble arrest and prosecution. Thp
scenes were removed.
I have not seen the movie,
gelded or whole, therefore I can
not comment upon the merits of
this particular case. However, it
is very unsettling to me to realize
that there is interwoven into the
Satire
Satirized
Dear Miss Zalkin:
I would like to thank Mr. C.
Manning Howell Jr. for his pene
trating satire ("Tragedy of
Tragedy," Ganceock, Tuesday,
November 12) of Professor Ham
ilton's lecture on Black Power.
The insight that Mr. Howell
has shown cannot be measured!
All the time I thought Prof.
hamilton was talking about black
uen acquiring political power in
this country, andl the results of
Lhis acquisition of power: the
>ower to live where one chooses;
ower to acquire the skills
rhich black men want to acquire,
mdt the powver for black men to
ell white men where to head in
f they get too pushy.
Being a white masochist, and
lot a supremiist, I had been
Iluped into thinking that the free
md( open society to which Prof.
lamilton alluded earlier in the
lay could, in some way, offer to
il men something more than our
-reat society presently offers us.I
F'ortunately, before I was led
o far down the path to rape,
lunder, and flagellate, Mr.
Iowe'll rippledl this veneer of
hetoric from Prof. Hamilton's
aitentions. Mr. Howell's insight
ndl command of the English Ian
auge is seldom enceounteredi in a
niversity. To this I can only
dd "Yes, Jesus loves you more'
han he ('an say, Mr. Howell."

ng The
governmental structure of Rich
land County a group of individ
uals who upon their judgment
can suppress a portion of the
national media.
Some investigation into the
makeup of this organization has
shown that the connotation of
the terms used by Mr. Newton -
"prudes" and "pseudo-intellec
tual" are not entirely accurate.
The members of this group are
classic "pillars of the commun
ity" and even boast of at least
one member of the state legis
lature. Unfortunately, like all
censor groups, they are closed to
general membership and seem to
view their task as the struggle
of good vs. evil.
It is thought-provoking to note
that with the recent popular
trend toward freedom in the
movies and the court cases over
ruling suppression of printed
matter, some CDL groups have
attempted to turn to more politi
cal fields. Cases in point would
be the attempted suppression of
two anti-Vietnam and Johnson
films by the Denver chapter be
cause some of the demonstrators
depicted "used dirty language"
and the confiscation of a book
let called "Black Rebellion" which
reportedly was pro-Wallace?? On
no grounds except that it "stirred
up trouble," this bit of genius
was credited to the Newark chap
ter.
It is my opinion that these
people should be given a right to
express their views, but on a
level with the rest of Columbia
and certainly not through a po
lice captain. I applaud Mr.
Newton's faith in the morals of
the responsible adult of Columbia
and his right to choose for him
self what films he will see with
out the intervention of those who
would trample upon a freedom

Dear Miss Zalkin:
The many favorable letters an
comments I received from Carc

bers concerning the last letter o
mine published in The Gamecoci
have led me to believe that m;
letters have at least some influ
ence with my fellow CarolinianE
With that in mind, I wish t,
ask the student body, staff an,
faculty to join with me in writ
ing to President Johnson letter
asking him to initiate a polic;
that would allow all Am-Asians
choice of citizenship not only ii
the United States but in Eng
land, Australia and New Zealan
as well.
Because, as Pearl Buck said
Am-Asians are recognizable oi
sight, such a policy would not b
difficult to carry out.
The policy could be made ef
fective in individual cases whei
each Am-Asian reaches a certah
age, say 18 or 21. This woul
certainly give even more signifi
eance to Pearl Buck's benevolen
foundation, dedicated to educat

Such a policy would give i

Whose
Priority?
Dear Miss Zalkin:
This is in reference to an ar
ticle which appeared in Nov. 22
issue of The Gamecock - the
proposed registration bill passed
by the Student Senate.
This bill provides for two
priority groups of students who
"because of their position in the
student structure, need to ar
range their schedules around
their duties . .
This, in itself is fine, but it is
with the qualifications attached
to the bill that we quarrel.
According to The Gamecock,
Sen. Chip Galloway, sponsor of
the bill, enumerated certain "stu
I dent leaders" by office who
should be included in the two
- priority groups. In addition to
f the class presidents, all of the
e Student Senate, and the Chief
I Photographers of The Gamecock
- and The Garnet and Black, we
would like to add some other
3 leaders.
'1 They are as follows: the pages
- in the Student Union, all AWS
s hall chairmen, the president of
the marketing club, the presi
I (lent of the American Pharma
I ceutical Union, the president of
- the Freshman Y, the president of
I the American Society of Civil
Engineers and anyone who has
been on the honor roll for more
I than one semester.
There are no limits to the
heights that this bill can go. Per
- haiis someday the priority groups
I will encompass the whole stu
I dent body. This will be the new
I goal at Carolina - instead of
- aspiring to Phii leta Kappa, the
t incoming freshman can strive to
- achieve the loftier heights of
PRIORITY GROUP A.
