First in a series on loneliness on
campus
A few years ago John W. drove to
a small town near Columbia,
rented a motel room, and shot
himself with a pistol.
He was an active student, a
leader in his class- surrounded by
people. But the people never
touched him nor did he touch them.
"Loneliness is being apart from
what you want to be a part of.
There's a gap that's different yet
alike for each person."
For freshmen it's the
strangemess of being "on my own"
and away from family ties.
Martha from Georgia said "I get
a little lonesome because
everything is so confusing and
home is stable and something to
fall back on."
Ginger misses "being able to

Several USC students have with
drawn from USC to teach at a
Freedom School in Ridgeville.
They are planning a halloween
party for the Indian children
Saturday night but need prizes,
favors, costumes, money and
people who wish to help in order to
make the party a success.
The Indian children are still
being affected by the fall decision
of the Ridgeville Board of
Education which refused them
entrance into the elementary
school.
Until they are allowed back into
the school the children are being
given instructions by three USC
students, who have dropped out of
their own classes to help.
Jack Malloy, Genie Hardee, and
Ralph Courtney have been
operating the Freedom School,
with the help of the Indian com
munity and donations from the
Carolina community.
USC student volunteers have
also been working at the school on
weekends, but another fulltime
first grade teacher is urgently
needed. In addition to another
teacher, the school desparately
needs books and educational
materials, money, films, food and
clothing.

For a junior from a small South
Carolina town it's the sudden
realization that not only do your
friends not know you-you don't
know yourself.
"I can remember when I was a
freshmen and loneliness meant
being one of the only girls on the
hall without a date. But now it's
different-it's nothing I can point at
it's just that I know something is
missing."
For senior girl it's a husband
"fighting a war that has a
forgotten reason."
It is evident that you don't have
to be from Neptune, N.J. to be
lonely at USC. t

about being separate," Dr. Donald d

Galloway expressed doubt as to
whether having a separate week
for committee meetings would
fulfill their purpose.
lie said that committee meetings
could be carried on during the
week of a Senate meeting just as
successfully as the method
established by the Senate last
week.
The committees on Powers and
Responsibilities and Galloway's
committee on Registration and
Distribution were formed this year
due to the number of Senate
proposals concerning these areas
in last years Senate.
Many of the committees do not
have full membership as of yet due
to the recent fall elections.
Galloway noted that it may be two
weeks before new members will be
able to meet with a committee
since they cannot get Senate
recognition until the regular
session next week.
Another Senate function which
may have gone unnoticed by some
students since it has no fixed office
is the Student Ombudsman
Committee.
The Ombudsman hears com
plaints by students and presents
them through the proper channels
in order to resolve the difficulties.
