Phantom c) A strange thing took place night In Carolina Stadium; strange and divorced from Community that many of the s witnessed it did not even recogr Ma y of the students who took commented on It, but the remair let it pass as one of those strange In-a-lifetime occurences that ma year college experience. What was this strange occure rarely witnesses in connectik University of South Carolina ac1 simply seeing hundreds, or was it Carolina's students on their feet cheering for the Gamecocks. I mil was late in the fourth quarter wh were ahead 17-0; a time. when Carolina student is well on his v game party. Letters Dear Mr. Stepp: You have attacked President Jones upon what I have always corsidered to be his finest quality his availability and closeness to the students.. As a freshman several years ago, I attended a spring track meet out behind the roundhouse where the weather took a sudden change and became cold and rainy. President Jones happened to spot me shivering and freezing in a cotton dress in the crowd. Nothing would do but that I put on his overcoat (I was quite a spectacle with it hanging down to my ankles) while he ruined a suit soaking in the drizzle. Two weeks ago I saw him stop and get a shoe shine from the sorority girls in front of Russell House. Late one afternoon last week he was standing on the street corner in front of the old gym among students and other bystanders Founded .Jan 310. 190fl with Robert Eli E~ u1:(-o(K is publbshed by and for the sit trsweekly (luring the college year except duri The 'pinmons expressed herein do not ni ministration. the faculty or the student body Offiees of THEI- ( ulEC~OCK are in Room: campus Phones are 777-4249 ' Editor-in-Chief .777-R17Rt 'Newsroom,i THlE G ulECOCK is represented nationa Sirsvice Inc The p)ubbeation is a member of ('mllegiute Press Association Suhscription rat EDITOR-.In Carl St ASSOCIATE EDITOR Mike Krochmalny MANAGING EDITOR.........

In rising to the defense of President Jones' genuiness and total unaffection, I must relate this incident from last spring: We were at half time of the NIT game in Madison Square Garden, and I was looking around at the Governor and other dignitaries in Coach Dietzel's box at mid-court . . Gazing on around I saw what I could hardly believe to be President Jones way, way,, way up in a corner of The Garden, far past the end of the court, in anything but desirable seats. Having climbed and finally fought my way up to where he was, I was greeted with "Hi! Come on up and have a beer!" "What in the world are you doing sitting way up here?" I asked. "I didn't buy my ticket until Thursday," he sheepishly grinned. EMILY WHEELER ocIm Ott Gonzales as the first editor.

Last year considerable criticism was directed against the Garnet' and Black for not representing dorms and dorm governments. On Oct. 9, four weeks ago, the yearbook held a meeting with the residence hall presidents (not all attended). They were told 14 pages would go exclusively to them.. They were asked to furnish activities and pictures so copy could be written. This was a month ago - nothing has been received yet. The pages must and will go to the printer on the coming deadline. The staff has sent reminder letters out but is upset knowing that they will probably be blamed for lack of information or incorrect dorm representation. If you students of USC are really interested in what goes into the yearbook, make sure your area president turns in the material asked for by the yearbook as soon as possible. CHIP GALLOWAY Chief Ombudsman Goodbye to pie? Dear Mr. Stepp: I wish to express my deep concern about your editorial on the playing of "Dixie" at football games. I am originally from New Jersey. I now consider myself a southerner and I stand up proudly when "Dixie" is played. in my eyes there is nothing derogatory about it. I feel it is as American as our national anthem it is part of the Southern tradition. If "Dixie" offends some people, then "God Bless America" must offend another minority group. Let's abolish mothers and apple pie! All or nothing? Dear Mr. Ste pp: This letter is in reference to the "Listen to the Bate" article that appeared in The Gamecock on Oct.27. I would like to ask why The Gzamecock insists on lookinu at the Tnt BA FRIDAY AND SA1 THE POST| Featuring 8:00 Consumption Pe BEEN DOWI THE BAS 2903 N.

I woul strange not to ry whole give the it was I fans, b stand a mnes flag-Dixie issue in such all or nothing terms? The Gamecock inferred that anyone who holds a Confederate flag or sings "Dixie" is a racist. You feel we at Carolina should erase all symbols of Southern historv . . . First of all, you should realize that a person who sings "Dixie" at football game probably does so with no race hate in mind. Your paper is guilty of stereotyping "White man holds flag, therefore, white man hates black man." This is not sound thought on the part of The Gamecock.. Secondly, efforts to ban the flag and "Dixie" from Carolina will aggravate racial tension, further alienate the Negro students, and polarize the student body-North against South. We saw this happen last year. I ask only that Southerners be allowed to rectify the errors of history while at the same time being proud of their heritage. WALTER HILDERMAN Encore! Dear Mr. Stepp: On Saturday night, I went to the Carolina Homecoming Game and I saw one person get up before the student section and lead ("exhort" is probably more accurate) the cheerleading more effectively than any group of USC cheerleaders that I have seen over the past four years. Sure, the whole stadium will get together at crucial points and chant "Go! Go! Go!" But this is a spontaneous crowd reaction to the situation on the f ield; not the result of the activities of the cheerleaders. This fellow got the whole student section together, (without the use of a microphone), solely by his enthusiasm and exhuberance, and led a cheer (initiated a cheer) better than I had dreamed possible. Never, had I seen this fellow before; but never have I seen such a wonderful job of cheerleading. If there is any way possible of having him back again-but this time in an official capacity--I hope that this letter will have some influence to this end. IRVIN WALLACE.

As for myse finest about the most disgusting of all the repressive conduct that the bigots of this university in the ad ministration maintain toward the students. I am referring to dorm regulations. Again the jailing and enslaving of females is taking its toll. Not only are the rules as they stand in violation of what the ad ministration should recognize as individual privacy, but also I have learned that honesty does not pay when dealing with the 'pigs' of the institution. Any Carolina coed can violate the unjust rules and get away with it most of the time, if she does it undercover, but those who get caught for any violation, no matter how minute, because of the in formation they give in all honestly. with conviction that what they are doing is right, are not treated with consideration. Instead, they are treated like hedonistic vermin. Kathy E. Burnley in her letter to The Gamecock dated Oct. 13, gives us good example of injustice, but there are many other cases which most people don't ever hear about. It is time for the dorm regulations to be changed, and for amnesty to be given to all the coeds that have been penalized.

Hall councselors have been given the responsibility of choosing which residents will receive the additional refrigerators. "No hard rules were laid down for the distribution of the additional refrigerators," said Brawley. Somefcounselors used a 'first come, first serve' plan. Others employed a number system or pulled names from a hat." A number of hall counselors have voiced disapproval of the distribution plan. Hall counselor Bob Salane, K Dorm, said, "I don't like having this thing .dumped in .my lap at the last "mihute."

He said that the housing office had agreed to assume the respon sibility next year. Some 400 refrigerators are ex pected to arrive Tuesday. These refrigerators will be divided equally among non-Towers residents. Each dorm will receive a 20 per cent allotment. Dorm governments will be in charge of distribution. arawley said that students are not allowed to have .private refrigerators, unless they have an illness that requires refrigeration of certain foods or medicine. linute? ~ACULSZ ME L ting. ou ge re;i reljjghuryat suitly tl les th n / tiper." gieing hot cre;unv Ithick shake ir 'Ii joVIIt'it .
