Welcome regional campus editors l Lmusicians Vol 'Xo.1 Univers1ty of South Carolina, Columbia, SC. 2920 Fia,Otbr1,16 Little chai after drug 3n USC< Sympathizers for drug-users around Carolina feel that the arrest of two persons on campus Wednesday will have little effect on use of drugs locally. ,,But they think it will .bring Jeelings of "paranoia." A USC coed and a former student were arrested Wednesday by Richland County sheriff's deputies and SLED agents on charges of possession of LSD. Carol Sue Rodwell and Mark Mason Tarver were arrested at Russell House post office after Miss Rodweel had picked up a registered package. The package, which according to police contained more than 300 tiny doses of LSD known as YR's seek ouster of two editors Members of the Carolina Young Republican Club published a circular this week calling for the resignation of Gamecock editor-in chief Carl Stepp and Associate Editor Mike Krochmalny. The circular entitled "Issue Paper Number One," cited the Gamecock as being a "propaganda sheet."It was drawn up by a Young Republican com mittee which took suggestions from members of the club. It was circulited Wednesday night. YR president Rex Morrow stated last night, "The majority of people on campus that I have talked with and other members have talked with held our opinion on this matter "concerning the use of four letter words." Morrow also stated that another issue paper would be voted on soon concerning the Gamecock. "It's a problem of bias," he stated. By USC stud Par< By FREt) MONK Ass't Managing Editor "Maybe," - that was the hope expressed by Scottie Barnes yesterday after a meeting with Asst. City Mgr. Gray Olive con cerning the growing parking dilemna at the Universtiy. The major change discussed was possibility of making,Green Pendleton Sts. into one-way roads between Main and Harden Sts. and in the case of Pendleton St. to Laurens St. "I hope to meet with the city traffic committee," Olive said, "and we'll kick around the suggestion." Olive said he liked the idea of one-way streets and hoped he could get the committee to agree. Members of student government including Barnes. Joe Usry and Fred Allyn came out of the meeting with some optimism. Several suggestions were made which might alleviate some problems at the University, but no long range solutions seemed ap parant. Another suggestion which Oliv.e was receptive to was blocking off Devine St. between Sumter and Main Sts. in order to make space available for student parking. As far as building a parking gargage near the university, Olive said, "We feel it is a University problem. I thought the university was supposed to start construction on a parking gargage last sum mer." He noted that the city is planning a municipal parking gargage on Gervqis St. near the post office." "We are not in a financial position to cater just to the students," he added. Ugry said that the group had met nge seen arrest campus "orange swirl," was not addressd to either of the two arrested. When asked how police knew of the package and its contents, county sheriff Frank Powell had "no comment" and arresting of ficer Sonny Clark said it was "a trade secret." Miss Rodwell's parents said the family was not allowed to com ment because Carol is innoicent of the charges" The two were released on $2,0000 bond each pending their hearing. Thursday sympathizers with local drug users questioned the power of narcotic agents to make the arrest since LSD is not a narcotic. They also contended that other parcels had been opened and said that would be violating federal laws. However, Sherriff Powell told the Gamecock the post office had nothing to do with Wednesday's arrest. Miss Rodwell is from Orangeburg, and Tarver is from Columbia. Volunteers throughout city needed University students interested in working as volunteers have several fields open to them. Tutors are needed at five area community centers. Recreational leaders are also needed at five community centers. Four area hospitals need health career workers. Social case workers are needed at the Boys' Club of America, the Richland Lexington Co. Manpower Developing Training center and the Children's bureau. There are also other volunteer jobs available. Those interested may call 777-4172 or 777-4173. wts Sl :ing sol with Harold Brunton, vice president for business affairs and were told that the University parking garage would not be constructed for three years gIue to the lack of financial support. Brunton told the group that the universIty's main interest at the moment was to acquire more land that could later be uwed for buildings, and use of that land now for parking instead of building a multi-level garage. Mentioned that the meeting with Olive was the blocking-off of several other streets including Devine between Main and Assembly and Green Steets, b..t A really New teleph to end dorm A new telephone system for Columbia Hall designed to alleviate the present shortages of lines going into and out of the dorm -- will be installed by November, Harold Brunton, vice president for business affairs, announced yesterday.

"I just don't know where It stands at the moment," he said. "The major problem i where does the money come from?" In the past, Olive noted that tpE city and state have worked together to finance programs such as the widening of Sumter St. "We have put up crosswalks, but they aren't used," he said.

Olive said that one way to alleviate the problem might be to station campus police at the crossroads during rush hours to help both traffic and pedestrians to reach their destinations. "Why doesn't the city make the University provide adequate parking space for the buildigs constructed as it does for businms in the community?" Barnes asked Olive. "We are not able to," he said, "but we would like to. "'The state is emmpt fran the provisons of our nng laws " Refri for d< By WALTER C. DERRICK Staff Writer Residents of all dormitories - not Just those of the Mens Towers as originally planned - will be allowed to have refrigerators in their rooms this semester. The first 400 units will arrive next week. with 400 arriving two weeks later. and 400 coming in every two weeks thereafter until a total of 1.189 refrigerators have been installed. Each residence hall will have 20 per cent of the total refrigerator allotment. The allotments are as follows: Capstone, 122; Columbia Hall, 66; McClintock, 30; Sims , 50 South , 121; South Tower, 78; Horseshoe, 55; Fraternity Row, 73; Preston, Snowden and Woodrow, 89; Coker and Maxcy, 59; Towers 300; Bates 110. The University is leasing the units for five years and subletting them to the students on a semester basis at a cost of $25.00 per semester, minus a $10.00 refun dable reservation fee. Because the University must pay for the units in advance, it cannot order more than it can be certain will be used. For that reason it was decided to put a limit on the number of refrigerators to be made available to each dorm. In addition. only one refrigerator Viet rally activities up in air October 15 is the date but much of the rest seems still to be up in the air for Vietnam Moratorium: Carolina after a meeting last night The immediate question is ap proval as a University organization. The group is seeking that this afternoon before the Student Affairs Committee. NEXT QUESTION The next question is how many activities will be held on Oct. 15 for the Moratorium. The group has decided to hold a 24-hour memorial service for the war dead and a petition drive in the community. After meeting with University President Thomas F. Jones, Jim W Wannamaker, chairman of the moratorium, submitted a series of five requests to the Faculty Ad visory Committee. SUGGESTIONS He asked that they suggest to the faculty that: I. The day be spent peacefully and thoughtfully. 2) Classes that day be spent discussing American participation In the war. 3) University sponsorship of a convocation to discuss the war from as many viewpoints as possible. 4) They participate in the con vocation. 5) They suggest to the faculty that clasa be dismissed for the day. CONVOCATION Wannamaker said that if the University would not sanction a convocation, the group would. He added that the same goals of rational discussion would be folowed. He "applauded' the "many students who have decided not to attend classes that day"...and somie faculty members who are offering free cuts to thelir students." The group Is also seeking to sponsor a major regional figure snaaking on the war. reratoi :)rmitc will be allowed in each room, according to USC housing of ficials. Of the first shipment of 400 arriving next week, 300 will go to the Towers because 158 Towers residents have already reserved units. The remainder will go either to Capstone or Columbia Hall. The only residence halls ex cepted in the refrigerator service are the Roost and possibly Coker, the latter because it is thought that the wiring in Coker is not safe enough to handle the refrigerators. A student, to be eligible for a refrigerator, must register for it at the Housing Office. He will be notified when a unit becomes available.
