Celebrate Mid-Semester Day Nov. 6 Vol. LX - No. 24 University of South Carolina, Columbia, S.C. 29206 Loneliness at Weeken4 for frest 4 By MEREDITH FINDLER Staff Writer (Third in a series) Dean, Michael, Bob and Jan are just a few reasons why freshmen girls suffer the pangs of loneliness at USC. Other colleges and jobs separate the guys from the girls, and cause heartaches five days a week, the only cure being a weekend of togetherness. It isn't easy for girls to adjust to being away from home for any exlended period of time. but most make the transition without a IFC concert set for Friday The Inter-Fraternity Council is sponsoring "The Falstaff In novation" in concert Friday at the State Fair Grounds at 8 p.m. "The Falstaff Innovation," a hardrock group from New York, is currently on a nationwide promotional tour of major colleges and universities.

But hesides being away from their hovfriends. the girls find other reasons for going home as often as possible. For example, one girl nisses.the privacy of home, in eludine- the luxury of a bath, in ,ztead (of a fast shower. Others miss the chance to talk over old times with friends who are scattered around in other schools. Letters are adequate substitutes, but just aren't as much fun as being able to get together in per son. Some girls find home a refuge from the grind of tests and text books; home is a place to relax and rest to them. Some are glad., however, to break away from their mother's apron strings, and find the challenge of accepting their new-found responsibility rewar ding. The solitude of an empty beach in mid-winter and the memories of summer life in general also play a part in the loneliness of dormitary life. Girls are quick te express a desire for both phases of the sea, a chance to be alone to think, and the rememberance of past things both contribute to the depression of being away from home. For girls from the north, the main problem is trying not to think about home too much since it is practically impossible to get there for a weekend. But no matter where a girl is from, and how many new friends she made, or how active she is, she still looks forward to going home. 4IVENS JR. re that students wait a. certain I come to class?

Four new buildin Expansi A broad outline of expansion plans for the University was outlined last week by Harold Brunton, vice president for business affairs. Brunton said there are four buildings or complexes either under construction or in the planning stages. One is the music rehearsal hall, for which bids were opened Oct. 23. The cost of this building was to be $120,000, but when a grant of $43,333 was received, Brunton recommended raising the project cost to $163,333 and accepted the low bid of $132,792 by the George W. Wilson Co. Another planned building is the Physical Education Center, which will include the walkway from Bates House to the main campus, pipe connections to the South Energy Facility, separate classrooms,exercise rooms and office space. It was recommended that the project cost be raised from $1.9 million to $2.6 million. A proposed infirmary will cost Does she or ...only her ro4 itches...and, al 4 lone at USC gs on plans $1,800.000.

The findings: 280 said they never went without a bra in public, 18 said they frequently neglect to wear one, and 30 answered that occasionally they don't bother to wear one. A breakdown of the figures showed shows that 92 of the 120 freshmen women said never, 10 said frequently and 18 oc casionally. Of the sophomores interviewed, there were 78 nevers, one frequently and three occasionally. Of the 91 juniors, there were 85 nevers, three frequently and three Twesinalyfv seniors out of 35, according to our survey, never appeared publicly without a bra, while four seniors said they frequently did and six did without the apparel occasionally. Our daring female interviewer came back with the observation that, "The girls who went without bras were mainly Northern (hippie-type) small-breasted girls. "The real Southern types," she said, "thought I was nuts to even ASK! Half of them said they never even CONSIDERED going without a bra.'' ijelds mark Hs Vote v4 to be ic Judicial pa The joint judical council will meet I the recent elections after two candida balloting was marred with irregulari The council, which met Thur sday night, put a temporary in junction on the approval of those elected until it arrives at a decision - expected after tonight's meeting. Bill Jenkinson, head of the council, approved last week the injunction at the request of Jim Corley, who contends that the election was invalid on four counts: 1) there was loose control of blank ballots. 2) poor instructions to the voters by people manning the polls. 3) the possibility of crossover voting; and 4) a closed poll at Preston during the run-offs. Pam Bolen, who lost in the race for senator-at-large, joined Corley in the protest. Monty MacMillan, elections commission chairman, said that Corley's four points were invalid. He also noted that no ballots were missing from the student govern ment office, located on the third floor of the Russell House. It was alleged that the room where the ballots were kept was left open and unoccupied. MacMillan said the office was vacated in order for workers to assist the poll workers. The office was not locked, he said, because only he had the key and other persons needed access into the office. As for the closing of the poll in Preston, MacMillan said there is "no basis for protest since there were not enough poll captains to man the places." Preston residents, he said, were allowed to vote at other polls. Jenkinson said that if a decision is not reached after tonight's meeting, the temporaty injunction would be extended to forestall Senate approval of those elected.

USC image increasing due to media By WOODY HINKLE Staff Writer Carolina is becoming "in creasing visible, nationally and internationally" according to Zane Knauss, Director of the Bureau of Information for the University. Mostly this is due to increased coverage of USC events by state, national and international news agencies. Sometimes, the University in formation service will get in touch with one of these news services but usually it is the news services that initate any interest, Knauss said. An example of this intiniative is the coverage given the Lovemaking short course started last spring. "This took off without any help from us," Knauss said. There was coverage by both major wire services, several national news magazines, every major network and four or five hundred newspapers around the world. Another example is the Com munism symposium in the In ternational Studies department this fall. This was a case where it was a joint effort on the part of the Bureau of Information and the news services, he said. There were articles in several international newspapers on both sides of the Iron Curtain as well as news magazines and newspapers in the United States. 5 more plays to be staged by U. Theater The University Theatre, which recently staged the drama "Or pheus Descending," has scheduled five more productions for this year. Jean Giraudoux's "Ondine," which will be presented Dec. 11-13, portrays the romantic fantasy of a mermaid who falls in love with a knight. Moliere's "Tartuffe," scheduled for Dec. 18, is the graduate thesis for Jim Early, who will produce and direct the production. "Tartuffe" is a comedy cen tering on a minister who dupes an innocent man of his home, his daughter, and his fortune. Twelve cast members will be needed. In February, Gilbert and Sullivan's operetta "Pirates of Penzance" will be produced in association with the Department of Music. A production for April has not been chosen. May's production will be the Broadway play "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead." This play centers on the behind-the-scenes activities of Shakespeare's "Hamlet." Carolina.
