Dear Mr. Stepp:
Thursday perhaps ushered in a
new era at thie University--an era
of student responsibility and the
age of the Student Senate.
I am referring to the ticket
distribution plan for basketball
tickets to our home games. We all
remember only too well the
situation last year wherein many
students stood all night in the cold
only to be told that there were no
more tickets. This was certainly
not the case Thursday.
The credit for this tremendous
turnabout is to be accorded to our
representatives. the Student
Senate. and particularily the
Ticket and Distribution Committee
of that body. The senate inherited a
problem which the administration
was unable or unwilling to solve.
They took the task knowing that
whatever solution they evolved,
there would be complaints.
However, through careful
deliberation by the Committee,
and further dliscussion. OPEN TO
A LL. by the Student Senate, a plan
emerged.
This plan gives to all students the
equity which has sometimes been

missing in administration
schemes. Every student has an
equal opportunity within his class
standing to obtain admission to the
basketball games.
Those who have attended the
University longer, have a greater
probability of gaining admission,
those just joining the Carolina
Community have somewhat less
chance--but all have an equal
opportunity within their respective
class.
There were some tickets
remaining in some of the class
designations. This should not cast
any reflections on the system.
There will always be some reason
for some students not to attend,
and those tickets not distributed to
them are given to the non-ticket
holding students on a first come,
first serve basis as it should be.
The Ticket and Distribution
Committee tackled a thorny
problem, and I think solved it in a
most equitable manner to the
satisfaction of all with whom I
have talked. Perhaps this is the
beginning of student responsibility
at Carolina wherein we can solve
our own problems with perhaps a
keener eye toward the student

Associate Editor
What with the adventures of
Turkey Man being given so much
attention on the local radio, we
migh take a little time to examine
USC's own Turkey Man--L Eugene
Cooper, who's also everywhere.
Cooper is a sly and devious
crusader, just like the radio
Turkey Man. Cooper is conspicious
only in his obscurity.
Just go to campus events and
you'll see one thing--L Eugene
Cooper is absent. Go to the office of
the Dean of Men and immediately
you notice one thing--L. Eugene
Cooper isn't there.
Neither is his secretary, but that
doesn't mean anything. There is a
cute little coed there who knows
only two phrases: "Dean Cooper is
out" and "His secretary is the only
one who can do that and she's out
to lunch."
Despite the stealth with which
this hero of the establishment goes
about his appointed rounds, we
have been able to put together a
sketch of his activities for one
typical morning (it has to be
typical because he works only one
morning a week.)
7:23-Cooper is awakened by a
long distance call for Mjpard
Nyasunski from Beirut. Lebanon.
He listens intently, but soon
comprehends that they are not
speaking English. Sensing that this
could be in code and be a threat to

writes a note to have Mr.

8:00-Cooper eats breakfast with
his wife-he eats grits and grits, as
usual. When asked why he eats
only grits he always replies tartly
that his grandmother ate only grits
(with mustard, which Cooper
cannot stand) all her life and lived

vicinity. Of the 3.879 John Does,
John Smiths and Bill Johnsons he

1:00-Cooper and his trusty
sidekick Nix, have lunch at Slater.
1:30-Cooper and Nix check into
the infirmary with acute stomach
pains. Both are told that the in
firmary doesn't accept
emergencies until after 5 and are
ushered out so the nurses can get
back to sleep.
1:54--An unwitting campus
policeman is in the process of
attaching a parking ticket to
Cooper's unmarked (except for the
large spotlight on the left-hand
side) car. Cooper takes away his
ID card and sprays him with his
Mace.
2:00-Cooper returns to his office
and kicks out The Gamecock
reporter who is sleeping on his
couch. He settles down to wait for
his secretary to return from lunch.
3:26-Cooper is awakened when
his secretary drops her coffee pot
returning from lunch. He flips
