One's grade-point ratio will no longer decide whether or not a coed has privileges. The bill, which will become effective next semester, places most Carolina women under a no-curfew system. According to an Associated Woman's Students (AWS) representative' AWS feels that keeping a woman in her dorm did not force her to study. Under the new system a married or self-supporting student over 21, regardless of what dorm she lives in, will not have a curfew. With parental permission, all women who have earned 30 hours or have attended college for two regular semesters as a fulltime student will not have a curfew. Any woman not meeting these qualifications but who is over 21 and has parental permission will not be subjected to a curfew.

Upon return to Intramural Field A, about 7:30 p.m. the burning of a fattened effigy of Carolina's Country Cousin" takes place. The tiger will be especially prepared to depict the true nature of Carolina's obese foe. The body and sixty-foot tail will be filled with fire crackers and burned. The Sigma Phi Epsilon "Tiger Smash" which has been held for the last two years has been can celed this year. According to a representative of the fraternity, the Dean of Men, L.

DITORIAL REPORT By the Editorial taff A "neutral" gathering place, where students and faculty can meet ahd rap as equals, is in the near future for Carolina. Plans are lining up to use the Golden Spur area on the second floor of Russell House as a daytime coffee house for students and faculty. Originated in the faculty, the idea calls for a relaxed en vironment for discussions and bull sessions, an effort to bridge the highly publicized gap between students and faculty. Although plans are not final, a committee working on the project hopes to open the area from 10-5 weekdays beginning early next month. There wIll be a new stadium. 'There will not be a stadium. The old stadium will be renovated. The old stadium won't be renovated. Confused about stadium plans for Carolina? You're not alone, but offIcials are working to secure better football facilities as soon as possible. The holdups are many: parking at the present stadium, land for a new site, state budgetary considerations, political reasons for not renovating. But, as Coach Paul Dietzei indicated Sunday, he is reasonably confident that improvement will come. As last Friday's The Gamecock reported, stadium im provement is a number one priority. One administrator said this week, ''The question will not be, can we afford to enlarge the stadium, but can South Carolina afford not to enlarge?'' While negotiations continue, some observers are predicting that an announcement of more definite plans will come within the next several days. A student lobby to support Carolina's ambitious expansion plans is being suggested by some members of Student Govern menit. The Idea would be to mount a massive drive aimed at in fluencing the legislature to grant needed bonding authority for USC growth plans. Students would contact their state legistators, and the need for progress at Carolina would be Impressed on as many minds as possible. With political activism on the rise among students, a student lobby could swing considerable weight, especially if many of the lobbyists were South Carolina voters. The Idea Is a good one, a constructive channel for the political energies of USC students, and a chance for students to seize the political npMr which their -umbers deserve. intaj By BRUC Sports West Virginia received Carolina in the Peach Bowl ir Coach Jim Carlen's Mountz this weekend's game agains Carlen said after receivin players, coaches and I are ex going to a major bowl and pli South Carolina." The Mountaineers have beaten Cincinnati (57-11), Maryland (31-7), Tulane (35-17), VMI (32-0), Pittsburgh (49 18), Kentucky (7-6), William and Mary (31-0) and Richmond (33-21). A 20-0 loss to Penn State is the only blemish on West Virginia's season. The Mountaineer's are known for their crushing ground attack led by junior tailback Bob Gresham and junior fullback Jim Braxton. Gresham leads the team in rushing with 955 yards in 159 carries, eight touchdowns dnd a 6.0-yard average per carry. Fullback Braxton is the most outstanding athlete for the bowl bound Mountaineers. Not only has he amassed 676 yards rushing on 164 carries, scored 10 touchdowns and averaged 4.1 yards per carry, but he also handles all of West Virginia's kicking chores. Braxton has made 23 of 27 extra point attempts and is three for five on field goal tries. His longest field goal is 35 yards. The sensational junior also does the punting and kickoffs for West Virginia. Quarterback Mike Sherwood broke most of WVU's passing records last year as a sophomore, but has not done as well this season. Sherwood has completed 52 of 101 passes for 672 yards with seven interceptions. Defensively the Mountaineers have given up 1,009 yards on their opponents' running game and have yielded 1194 yards against the pass. The Mountaineers' leading pass receiver, senior split end Oscar Patrick, was sidelined prior to the Penn State game and is a doubtful starter for the Peach Bowl. The Mountaineers will send two scouts to Columbia this weekend for the Carolina-Clemson game. Saturday late classes cancelled There will be no classes after 11 a.m. this Saturday, President Thomas F. Jones announced yesterday. Jones said 11 and 12 o'clock classes were called off because of the Clemson game and the ac tivities surrounding it.
