Managing Editor Student elections for the fall may not yet be over--that is if a protest of election irregularities is upheld by the Joint Judicial Council. The council, which met for the second time Thursday night to consider protests from Jim Corley and Miss Pam Bolen, put a tem porary injunction on the approval of those elected until they can arrive at a decision. "A temporary injunction against approval will apply until we do 'Used to get Grego By H1ARRY HOPE Staff Writer "I used to get scared when I came down here," said Dick Gregory, last night at Capstone, as he presented his feelings towards the South. "I can't say that it's a pleasure to be in South Carolina," he added. Gregory was greeted by the overflow crowd with a standing ovation and peace signs and power signs. The former candidate for president touched on many topics in his address. Speaking on transplants he said, "We blacks hate to be your spare parts. I'd like to see some cat get a really obivious transplant: like a white man gets a black foot. That would be a gas at the beach." Speaking on the Irish conflicts he noted, "Those police react just the same as other police: 'It's those outside agitators!'..they blame it on Billy Graham and the Pope." He commented that the three major powers of the world would race for the natural resources found in Africa. "They're gonna want Mother Africa. They can't survive without the continent." He said that the country--"My country"--was suffering from moral pollution.

Jenkinson approved the in junction at the request of Corley who said that the true judicial process could not apply at the meeting since there was not a quorum of council members present. Corley contends that the fall elections were invalid on four immediate points: 1) there was loose control of blank ballots. 2) poor instructions to the voters by cared' e ry give liok what vou've done to the rivers :an lakvs and streams ..

"The worst thing is going to my mail box and having to look all the way through," said one freshmen boy. MAOL AND HOME Lack of mail makes any college student lonely especially when it's lack of mail from the guy or girl back home. Pam from New Jersey misses "going to the beach with my boyfriend Bob. And I miss going to the beach just to think; it's a good place to get away from people and problems " A freshman boy also echoed this problem. "The worst thing for me is having to leave my girl - thinking about how it was and living for one weekend a month." Ik E.S BA THS Freshmen also find other reasons for going home as often as possible.

Miss Bolen, wt;o lost in the race for senator-at-large, also protested irregularities in the election. "As a candidate for the seat, I was not informed of the re-running of the entire ballot, omitting Mr. (Chip) Galloway, until shortly after noon the day of the election," she said.

Connie from Bishopville said, "there's no privacy, no place to stop and think, and Dean isn't here." Still others find the 13,000 students frightening "The size of the campus is unbelieveable - I'm a speck." For other freshmen the new friends they've make don't seem lasting yet.

"The supply of the special ballots in question expired in certain areas and were not replaced," she said, "again denying some the right to vote." "I am protesting the whole election." Corley said, "she is just protesting the election of senator at-large. I would like to see the whole election thrown out." Corley also questioned the validity of the election on con stitutional grounds as established by the Student Senate. He said although the Senate approved the election dates, they did not approve the polling places or delegate authority to do so, therefore the Elections Com mission violated the constitution. According to another con stitutional point, "vacancies in Student Senate shall be filled by a special election in the respective schools." Corley said, "The Student Senate has not considered any motion. bill or resolution concerning vacancies within itself.. hts' teracted baths that care. The people I know don't have time to worry about me. IMIPERSONAL FACULTY The faculty also seems im personal to freshmen, and sometimes to upperclassmen. The large size of freshmen classes makes many feel that the professors don't care whether they learn "I have the overall feeling that the teachers don't care at all." The strangeness of campus life and the first break with primary ties can leave anyone confused. Another freshman boy summed up his feelings. "I guess you can just say I'm disillusioned."

The last constitutional con tention of Corley's says "nominations of candidates shall be by petition of 25 students from that school." Corley maintains that no can didate complies with this stipulation. Corley's protest also attacked the election of Student Body Treasurer. He says that it is implied in the constitution that the Senate may fill such a vacancy by statute, by laws or constitutional amendment. "Neither of, tese alternatives were utilized*hft regard to filling the present vacancy," he said. Monty MacMillan. elections commission chairman, said the Corley's four points concerning the election was invalid, but he would not comment on Corley's con stitutional contentions. MacMillan stated that student government office, where ballots were kept. was vacated in order to assist poll workers who were understaffed. He noted. however, that no ballots were missing from the office. He added that the door could not be locked, since he only had the key and others needed access to the office. MacMillan also said that implicit instructions were given to all poll workers and to his knowledge (Continued on page 3) Campus closing considered By MARTIN MOBLEY News Editor Representatives from the Salkehatchie Regional Campus made a plea Thursday to the Board of Trustees asking that the school be continued Burney Daly. chairman of the representatives of the Salkehat chie Center near Bluffton. asked that the board reconsider their decision to close the campus. The board voted earlier to suspe'nd operations there because because the center was losing money According to Daly. "Salkehat chie is in one of the most backward areas in the state." However, he continued, the industry now en tering that area might reverse the downward trend of the economy. The state should concentrate more on the needs of the people in ith . 141 rth ler than oi h "Because we are small." said Daly. "we are placed in a category where it is impossible to grow." According to Daly. in 1966 enrollment was 106. in 1967. 111; in 1968. 676. and in 1969, 51. The school averages about 70 students in summer school. He said, one of the problems the school faced until this year was that the director of the campus lived in Columbia and commuted to the center three times a week. 'Tis year. however, there is a resident director. He hopes some way can be found to lower the entrance requirements. Daly said he feels it is important for the board to arrive at a decision soon. He said, "We have to assure prospective students that we will be open next year. There Is a pressing need for the school in the lower part of the state, and we cannot exist In perpetuity." Rutiedge Osborne, chairman of the Board, said the reason the school was going to be closed is that It lost 40,00 i 100 and S60,00 this year.
