Eleven home games and, possibly, some away games will be televised. WIS-TV will originate nine of the home games and the ACC television networkg will originate two other games from Carolina Coliseum. One of the network games is the USC-UNC game, Monday Jan. 5. The 9 p.m. game is the first regular season game to be televised at night or during the week by the network. The home game with Duke Feb. 14 will also be carried by the network. This is the first time that the entire home schedule from the Coliseum is to be televised. Although by special arrangement with the radio net work, the home games in the old Field House were televised for a year and a half, the practice was discontinued last year when the home games were played in the more spacious Coliseum.

All but one of the home games in the Coliseum were sellouts. The opportunity for the telecasts came with the change in broad casting rights. Last year Walter Copeland of Hartsville had the rights and managed both the football and basketball networks. This year WIS radio bought rights to the football broadcasts and manages the network and the University itself is managing the basketball network. The University is now negotiating with various radio stations over the basketball radio network, according to Blanding Clarkson, assistant sports in formation director. All of the home games will also be carried on WCIV-TV in Charleston. Four or five of the games will be carried on WFBC TV ii Greenville. More games will not be carried in Greenville because of an ACC rule adopted last May that bans telecasts of a game within 100 e tickets n game ri planned ate tickets to the Clemson game ads the 900 allowed by an un thietic director, said that the 300 ; with the University treasurer's and the computor center showed he activity fee rather than the anding .existed, but said that if )ggone it, they'll get them."

Jim Yager, general manager of WIS, said thai the rule will also severely limit sale of the telecasts in North Carolina cities such as Charlotte. He said that the station is seeking clarification of the rule and whether it applies to non conference games too. Yager said that the station is also considering telecasting the USC-N.C. State game in Raleigh Feb. 18 and the Chapel Hill USC UNC game Feb. 21. WIS Sports Director Russ Benedict called the telecasts "a prestige thing for the station. The station is paying a pretty good thing for the rights." Frank McGuire, head basketball coach, was out of town and unavilable for comment Tuesday. Yager said the station will make the broadcasts "with a great deal of pleasure. There is a real interest in South Carolina in the basketball program, in the basketball team and in the boys." He said that the television rights bought by the station do not include the Eastern Regionals to be held here in the spring. The home games to be originated by WIS-TV include the Dec. 6 Tennessee game, the Dec. 8 Er skine game, the Jan. 10 Maryland game, the Jan. 12 Virginia game, the Jan. 28 Virginia Tech game, the Feb. 7 Clemson game, the Feb. 9 Wake Forrest game, the Feb. 11 Davidson game, and the Feb. 28 N.C. State game. All are 8 p.m. home games. Yager said that formal an nouncement of the telecasts was being held for the end of the football season so as not to detract from the football team.

According to Miss Dianne Faulk, regional training officer for Head Start, more than 112,000 children have participated in Head Start in this state since 1965. This year some 3,000 children in South Carolina are taking part in full-year programs, and more than 19,000 children who entered school this fall in S.C. were enrolled in summer Head Start. The program operates within the College of General Studies and has been in existence since the beginning of Head Start. USC's program provides professional assistance to Head Start programs throughout the state through training sessions, advice and assistance and ob tamning resource materials and equipment. be ids beauty to >ey shows ere hig State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges, to which USC belongs, reported that fees increased an average of 16.5 per cent among its 113 members since last year.

For non-residents of South Carolina, tuitions at USC notched a $120 per year raise from $1,010 last year to $1,130 this year. Again this is higher than the NASULGC median, $966 in 1969-70 which rose from $850 in 1968-69.

Student Body President Barry Knobel said this week in proposing changes to University housing rules. Knobel, supporting an editorial in the Sept. 15 issue of The Gamecock, suggested changing rules governing overnight guests, weight lifting equipment, musical instruments, decorations and applicances. Knobel did not make specific proposals in a letter to The Gamecock. Praising Bates House for in dividuality in decor, he siaid that assigning freshmen to all-alike rooms creates a basic loss of identity. "We live in this room which is now our home for at least nine months out of the year. A student needs an atmosphere conducive to studying. His own room Is usually the place," he said. Knobel said he could "well un derstand" obeying fire and sanitation ordinances but "to many of us here our room Is our refuge, an 'ivory tower' which enables one to relax from the hectic pace or univesitry lie. telex -4 I Jones' reflecti( er thai increase of 9.2 per cent for men and 11.4 per cent for women.
