L , N Towers cooled .n fridges By MILTON CAPPS News Editor The Men's Towers hopes of in stalling refrigerators in the residence halls have temporarily been cooled. 01 A student-administration committee will meet this week to consider approving or disap proving the use of refrigerators in the Men's Towers dormitories. Douglas Fitzgerald, assistant vice president for business affairs, said yesterday that the ad ministration had been asked to study the problem during the past summer. Now, he said, "The main bone of contention seems to be that the towers government had hoped to make some money out of the rental of the units, while the ad ministration had decided that it would handle the operation.." The units, Fitzgerald explained, would be rented to students on a consignment basis from a Columbia firm. The contract calls for a five-year leasing period, he disclosed. "Besides having to sign the five year contract." he explained, "there are also the costs of security for the equipment, summer-time storage and possible losses." 4 This week, he said, Joseph Barnes, director of housing, Eugene Cooper. dean of men-: Elizabeth Clostworthy, dean of women, and six students will meet to discuss the matter. More than a week ago Towers residents began signing up for the units, paying a deposit of $20 per refrigerator. Yet, said Charles Witten, vice president for student affairs, "this thing had never gone through the proper channels." "We began to get criticisms," Witten noted. "The presidents of other governments started to scream: 'Why should the Towers get the refrigerators and no one else?' " Towers vice president Ed Mc Fadden had no further information on the issue.

Beef isn't the only problem. Help -- waiters, waitresses, cooks -- form a large part of the expenses. Most of them are classified as "unskilled" labor, but labor, skilled or unskilled, is expensive. Added to meat prices, canned goods, dry goods and cereals -- plus electricity, water, gas, mortgages, taxes, advertising -- it costs more and more each year. AWARE to desegr By HARRY HOPE Staff Writer Seeking to help desegregate the Ridgeville Elementary School. members of AWAHRE were to have b(e'en on hand as black and Indian children are' taken into the school Tony Bright, chairman of AWARE-SDS, said that the School Board had okayed the admission of black and Indian students to Ridgcville Elementary School, but added that "under pressure from whites, they went back on their word." According to Bright, the group arrived in Ridgeville Friday. Before going to St. George to ob tain a permit to picket, they drove past Ridgeville Elementary School. watched by local police and his.hway patrolmen TUhey then proceeded to St. George. In St G;eorge they' asked for and obtained a permit to picket the county courthouse. Friday a motorcycle g ng from Charleston arrived in Ridgeville. "Eighty members of a motor cycle gang came to harass the blacks, Indians and white students. T1h'y forged'4 at deed' to the house' we were renting for the school, and planned to move in. Action is still pending on this matter," Bright said. Friday night AWARE members. blacks and Indians formulated a school program, electing a prin cipal, a school board and ap pointing three permanent teachers. Saturday, they planned a march. but their request for a permit was denied on the grounds that a new ordinance had been passed stating that anyone seeking such a permit had to request it 24 hours ahead of time. Mrs. Victoria D)eLe, a leader of the march. then stated that such an ordinnen was illealn sine it had kk r i.j.tP - Chief photographer Chuck Keefer ars Student Senate, as ieeds urger Throughout the area around the campus, prices have gone up -- but, insist managers, the prices are barely keeping up with the costs. Right now, beef is holding firm and Psomas can charge $1.05 for meat and three vegetables. "But how long am I going to keep it up?" Customer: "I'd like a pork chop please. and make it lean." Waiter: "Yes, sir. Which way." The humor is from "The Menu." Like all trade papers it is filled with news of subscribers, little jokes, and news of the trade.

Managing Editor Trying to replace biting words with better food, ARA Slater will be working with newly organized food service committees, giving individual resident areas a say in the service they receive. The new committees consist of members from six residence areas plus a conglomerate committee of all other residence areas. "Through this system each residence area can have a voice in the planning of meals in that area," said Joe Usry, student body secretary for general welfare. "For example, the committee in Capstone could meet with the manager of that cafeteria and let him know if the residents would like more or less of a specific diet -- such as more or different vegetables," he said. The individual residence areas include: South-South Tower, Capstone, McClintock-Wade Ifampton-Simms. MN' Towers. Bates House and Columbia Hall. The chairman of each one of these individual committees will sit on the University Food Services Committee with Usry heading the student group. "The director of ARA Slater Services, Mr. Wentz, has realized this critical problem on our campus and cooperated with student government greatly in the formation of these committees," Usry noted. He added that the first meeting of the committee is expected to be Friday. The University Food Services Committee will meet bi monthly. d in plan oeville joined together with local black high school students and formed SOUIL: Students Organization for Universal L iberation. "We plan to attempt to take the children into the school tomorrow.' Bright said. "'We expect to be arreste'd.' score! s as victory nears. s get say 0 od Service University people Coeds apologize We're not supposed to run personal notices on the front page of the paper. At least, we've always supposed we weren't. But the note from Lynn and Karen was too much. They wrote for our help in "trying desperately to reach one of you students so we can apologize to him... (but they) know very little about him." Not even how to get in touch with him, to say nothing of his name. So here it is: "DAVID FROM TAMPA: So sorry we couldn't make it to Frisch's that night. Wish we could make it up to you. Maybe we will see you when we play (and beat) y'all for our Homecoming. Lynn and Karen, Box U5067, FSU Tallahasse, Florida." Now we just wonder who David is. Mike Grier served as President Thomas F. Jones' representative in Wednesday's Student Senate discussion of The Gamecock's use of a certain four-letter word and an alleged censorship. But it wasn't the first time he was in the spotlight as Jones' assistant. This summer a demonstration was mounted against Grier--or, at least, against his leaving the University. Tomorrow Grier leaves the University to enter private law practice in Greenville. He has served as the president's assistant since the first of the summer. Several small youngsters had been picketing the ad ministration building for about an hour when Grier noticed that the secretaries were staring out the windows. Then he thought that he recognized his name. It was his name. Bribing the protestors with ice cream cones, he found that it was Jim Nantz and Chuck Dallara who put them up lo demanding that he stay at the University. Nantz and Dallara had even tipped off the campus police. SOur face is often red, but recently it got worse than usual. First we ran the bus schedule that someone brought into the soffice. Great, but Douglas I. Fitzgerald, asst. vice president for business affairs, informed us that the second bus we listed campus stops for is non-existent. Then in the next issue we mentioned the troubles of the Roost Cafeteria and Bates House desk over incorrect phone numbers and -- you guessed it -- listed the wrong number for the desk. The correct number is 3157 for the desk. Or, we hope so. Professor James Holland of international studies Wednesday was elected president of the Catholic faculty of the University. Professor Don Galgano was elected vice president, Professor Amy Viglione, treasurer, and Mrs. Audry Skrupskelis, secretary. Charles J. Jenkinson Jr., who retired from the U.S. Army in May after 22 years service, found his second career in law enforcement joining the campus security force at the University of South Carolina. Last week at the South Carolina Police Academy, Officer Jenkinson completed his training as a police officer and achieved the top scholastic honors in his class of 30 men from 21 police departments around the state.
