Carolina basketball will be on
the air live and in color this season.
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.

also cited the radio contract which
precluded telecasts.
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

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

game, the Jan. 12 Virginia game,
the Jan. 28 Virginia Tech game,
the Feb. 7 Clemson game, the Feb.

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.

The Vietnam Moratorium will
meet tomorrow to adopt its local
strategy as part of national efforts
against continued American
presence in South Vietnam.
The group's newly elected
chairman, Jim Wannamaker, said
the goal of the group is to convince
President Nixon that the American
people want "the war in Vietnam
to end and (want) immediate
action to be taken to end our
presence in Vietnam and to help
the Vietnamese people find
peace."
The national moratorium is
scheduled to be held Oct. 15 on

$27,000 grant
is received
by Head Start
The U.S. Department of Health,
Education and Welfare announced
a $27,892 grant for USC's Head
Start training program.
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

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.
The average tuition for a full
time undergraduate student who is
a state resident rose from $369 in
1968-69 to $430 in 1969-70.
At USC, resident students faced
a $60 tuition increase from $460 to
$520. Thus this year Carolina
students are paying $90 more than
the NASULGC average.
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.

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

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

Twelve dollars was added to the

from $320 to $332, an increase of
about four per cent for the average
student.
Fees increased more than the
