WXhal By JAIME JOHNSTON Staff Writer The Student Government Association may have had the students' best interests at heart after all when the current method of distributing football tickets was installed. After camping out at t e Coliseum to get date tickets for the Carolina-Clemson game, some students found that they would be missing a lot of fun and games if there were a more efficient way of distributing tickets. When word spread that only 200 7T A -' 1 to do date tickets were available for the sophomore class, students with blankets, sleeping bags and beer converged on the Coliseum. By midnight there were some 60 people on hand with a party in full swing. As more arrived, two sophomores, who took more than full advantage of the party beverage, decided it would be a good idea to assign numbers to all those present. They assured students this was the only way to give everyone a fair shake. It also facilitated a nomen nk- 4WM *U. with a clature system that couldn't be beat as evidenced by remarks like: "Hey, number 17 has some liquor," "Will numbers 57 and 56 please be quiet, we want to get some sleep," and "Number 61, do you have another blanket?" By 3:30 a.m. the noise subsided and some students were able to get to sleep. The silence was broken only by an occasional truck passing by or an inebriated sophomore having problems manipulating around Coliseum columns. Other students began arriving at Abr 7 a.m., some of them surprised at the array of sleeping bags and the bedraggled appearances of those already there. By then everyone was up and conversation turned to the prospect of linebreakers. Con sensus was that there was only one thing to do with such a per son...KILL! The biggest excitement of the "event" occurred when someone accidentally set a cushion on fire with a cigar. The smoking cushion was cast aside and no one moved to put it out: "No sir, I ain't losin' my ,eaker place in line if the Coliseum burns down." Seeing smoke, one of the security guards came out to survey the situation. The problem seemed grave and students wondered if he would bravely put it out himself with an extinguisher or call the fire department. Sure enough, here came a fire truck, siren blaring. Amid cries of "firemen brutality" and applause, the firemen moved swiftly to put the fire out. The pageant over, there was nothing more interesting to do than kill! wait for the doors to open. After what seemed an interminable setting up process by those inside they did open. And there was good ol' number one, running to the date ticket desk with blankets and cushions in hand. Date ticket victory was sweet. For some it was pretty sad to leave the scene of the night's happening, others were more intrigued with the thought of a shower and tooth brush. But there will be other games and more date tickets to stand in line for. iAr pians iegal battle Members of Young Americans for Freedom plan to announce and explain participation in a nationwide legal assault on the New Left at 10:30 a.m. today. The press conference will be held in room 205, Russell House. YAF Chairman Ben Wynn said the conference is one of a series being held simultaneously in over 50 cities across the country. At the conclusion of the Russell House conference, the USC chapter will sit in on a noon gathering of YAF leaders at the State Capitol to launch a coor dinated attack on the New Left. Wynn said specifics of th YAF program at Carolina will be an nounced to prevent educational disruption which has been associated with leftist activities. The YAF National board of directors' meeting in June in Columbis, Ohio, voted to bring "New Left nazis" to court for violation of students' civil rights. The group also advocates taking campus administrators to court for violations of students' contractual rights. YAF reasons that if students pay a tuition or fee to receive unin terrupted instruction, college officials are obligated to keep their campus orderly. On some campuses, YAF is demanding a balance in the speakers program by a boycott of funds or inclusion of con servatives. Organization members feel students shouldn't have to pay for a speakers' program that in cludes only left-wing militants and ignores conservatives. The campus organization has retained Ken Powell of Columbia as its attorney. Leham A. Mosely Jr., of Greenville will aid the organization in the attack as at torney for the state YAF organization. A spokesman for YAF said extensively prepared legal materials, including briefs, memoranda, requests for in junctions and civil suit materials have been placed in the hands of attorneys to aid the action.

However, they are boycotting the small facility where only one of the three teachers has as much as a high school education. The Four Hole school has no recreation program and should it "look like rain" on a given day...school is dismissed for no apparent reason. Students leaving the Four Hole school in the past have gone to nearby Harleyville-Ridgeville High. There, they have had little educational success. Often they leave high school and return to their farms where they become day laborers. Originally, the Dorchester County school board had elected to admit the Indians to Ridgeville Eleme'ntary. Then, following a flurry of resignations and replacements, the original order was rescinded. The parents were not informed that their children would not be allowed to attend the Ridgeville school. On registration day, the Indian students found a sign directing them to the gymnasium. There, they were told they would not be allowed to enrol zs re nate a for October 20, with run-offs set for two days later. Nominations are October 13, with late nominations lasting two days. SGA treasurer, freshman class officers, several senators and homecoming queen are to be elected. The senate authorized an election district in Bates House with two senators and changed the name of the Elections Committee to the Elections Commission. The three bills were submitted by SGA President Barry Knobel who also asked that the Election Commission be made the final authority subject to his approval, over candidate qualifications. The bill was ruled out-of-order after Galloway objected to its constitutionality. New bills introduced and referred to committee included one by Galloway on basketball ticket distribution and one by Sen Jim Bradford calling for a referendum on Saturday classes. Defending immediate stipends, Galloway contended that student government has enough money under its current budget to pay for the stipends. He estimated that stipends would cost a total of $4,500; however, he said that only two senators would have met the ripus Calend Oct. 6 Mermaid Fleet Rush. apply Russell House Information Desk Universal Life Church organizational meeting.

Vice President Mike Spears stepped down from the chair and argued against immediate adoption saying that student government may need the money for unforeseen expenses during the year. Part of the debate centered on a $6,000 surplus in last year's budget. "We will not, I promise you, have a surplus this year," Spears said, adding that $500 had been spent by this time last year, while $4,000 has been spent in the same period this year. About $300 of the total has gone for his fact-finding trip and much of the rest for the new student government offices, including $500 for carpets alone, Spears said. "We padded that budget so much you wouldn't believe it," said Spears when someone proposed cutting a $3,000 provision for office supplies. He added that the pad ding was to cover contingencies. Also tabled was a constitutional amendment proposed by Galloway. The amendment rewrote the section of the SGA constitution covering officers and made secretary and treasurer of the SGA and residence hall governments appointive officers.

Coolers to come Refrigerators will be allowed in all campus dormitories this semester, Dean Eugene Cooper announced yesterday. The (student administration study) committee.. .has set guidelines--20 per cent of the residents of each building will be allowed to have the units," he said. More than 1,100 requests are expected to be received as a result of the decision, he added. The 158 Men's Towers residents who have already signed up for units will receive them. They paid $20 for this semester. The 158 will be included in computations for the 20 per cent figure for their respective buildings. Reservation fees for the remainder of the quotas for each dorm will be scaled down according to the time left in the semester. The first shipment of 400 units is expected to come within two weeks. he disclosed. Two other 400 unit shipments will follow at similar intervals. Exact procedure for unit reservation has not been decided upon; a meeting to discuss this and other matters will be held with all campus residence hall presidents early next week.
