This is a city street, but you cannot turn here-this is the USC Homecoming Parade. " Homecoming has come and gone: a star was born, a beauty found the true happiness that only a queen can, the band made its usual fantastic show... And through it all was that feeling...the atmosphere of ex citement, unreality and ecstasy. Working on the float.. .your broken nails (finger type), lost tools and the prayer that the mobile trashheap would be ajudged the most beautiful... Then that pep rally Friday night. 0Elliott Bornstein 0, A"" *. *,- . TH 0T or9 -'TaM Norman : the ecsta The players, the coach, the band, the students, the queen and her court...they were there and if you C4 missed the Panhellenic Jug Band, they were in the parade ,. too.

The Chi Omega-Phi Delta Theta Phi Kappa Sigma float won the Greek trophy. The beauties waved, the band played, the drill units marched...and the beauties waved. Praying that your date is on time-it would be bad to miss the kickoff..."Who in the heck are we playing, anyway?" Traffic that's backed up past campus and out into Eau Claire..."Didn't they know our Homecoming was tonight, they should have postponed the fair." "Hey, I had freshmen English with her.. .now she's Homecoming queen." "So what, my father once dated Lloyd Thaxton's third cousin." Polly Thacker was crowned Homecoming queen.

Columbia] Centrex W The confusion once inherent in calling a girl at Columbia Hall will end at 9 a.m. Wednesday. According to George A. Key director of security and com munications, anyone using the Centrex system will then reach Columbia Hall just as easily as any other dorm. However, the new numbers are not in the recently published campus directory. "The campus operator will have the numbers of the girls in Columbia Hall," Key said. 'In the past. Columbia Hall's telephone system was adequate, art of tho for the weekly group meetings at 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays. The class is highly diversified, ranging from dating couples to long-haired, blue-jeaned boys to demure young Southern ladies. Yet all share a serious interest in the "high art of bartending" and almost everyone takes careful notes. What to serve your dates "when you want to score," what to drink if you're going to drink all night (or all morning), how to get people bombed, hot weather drinks, how to act and tip at a bar (if you ever leave South Carolina), and bar tending for an orgy are highlight lessons in the course, which also features equipment demon strations and comparison of liquor brands. sugge4 teri He wants to do something about it. According to Macmillian problems in this semester's elections included a shortage of poll captains, crossover voting, lack of communications between Elall to go ednesday Key said. One reason for this was the fact that men lived in the dorm. This year women are staying in the dorm and since they receive more phone calls, the system has become impossible. One Carolina student claimed he had to stop dating a coed living in the dorm because he couldn't reach her when he wanted to. With the change to Centrex system, residents may be reached through four-digit dialing. There will no longer be a need to use pay phones or go through a Columbia Hall operator. 0 Course A talk by a local wine expert accented Tuesday night's agenda. The speaker was Bill Spann, a former wine steward who despises "that solvent, water," and would even brush his teeth with wine if "the nectar of the gods" were a little cheaper. His advice to the could-be wine connoissuer included such nuggets as : don't wear your wine because you uncorked it too fast; don't sip it, but do smell it; beware of wines with screw-on caps; don't be fooled by the arty bottle (gimmick to attract gullible Americans to reduced quantities of wine disguised by large, showy bottles); and don't drink 63 cent wine at every meal (it makes you look like a wino). t10nS, rible' the Student Senate and the Elec tions Commission on which offices were to be filled, outdated rules for the posting of handbills and violations of good taste in cam paign literature. Macmillan is drafting a set of recommendations on the part of the Elections Commission for next semester's elections. The recommendations included: --election dates and members of the election commission should be approved by the Senate before adjournment in the spring. --each student be given a voter registration card in his reteistration packet. The card would list the student's name and district and would have to be presented at the polling station to be cross-checked with a computer list of students and districts before a student could vote. --vacant offices and qualifications for the offices be publicized well in advance of nominations, -1he Elections Commission be furnished a separate office so that they could work efficiently and would be able to lock up elections materials, --establishment of permanent polling places, --two days of speeches be held for candidates under the auspices of the Student Government, -campaign banners and posters be required to be approved by the elections commision and bear an elections commission stamp, -wider elections coverage in The Gamecock. including pictures of the candidates and platforms, -the elimination of late petitions for nominations, -and change of qualifications for Homecoming Queen. The recommendations will be submitted to Student Body Prsident Barry Knobel sometime next week. From there, the recommenda*ions will be presented to the Senate for action. Steve Cannon was elected fresh man class president in a runoff election Friday. Jenny Jenni was eleted secretary of the clms.
