At Carolina, Student Government has little power, -,and consequently not enough respect. Within the traditional framework of Student Govern ment, the Knobel administration has been reasonably successfuL. What is needed is to transcend the "traditional framework," to unite the students and their organizations, to demand and acquire power over the non-academic aspects of campus, and to use it wisely. . Knobel and company have a semester. We wish them luck. New seats are for standing only Some of the people you saw standing at Saturday'i - basketball game weren't on their feet to cheer the team, salute the flag or stomp around for "Dixie." They wert Standing so they could see. W tt09ts for the more than 250 new "seats" uddld Ah the top corners of the Coliseum. But when they 4rled to sit, all they could see was the tops of peoples' heads and one small corner of the court. The seats are atrocious. Even when there's no one sitting in front, they don't provide an unobstructed view of the court. We realize people are clamoring to get into the games, but we doubt if they appreciate getting third-rate seats which aren't seats but far-off standing room. It isn't good public relations to stick our fans in such places. We know several people who've been upset at getting tickets' there. Their enthusiasm for Carolina basketball has fallen off.. There is a point where seats are no longer worth selling. The new ones are probably doing more harm than good. Better mail service should come soon A study of the campus post office, scheduled for next week, is welcome, but is comes a couple of months late. in October The Gamecock ran a series on inefficiency in the local postal operation. An investigation was promised, but it was put off until now. Now that the study is finally set, we hope it is thorough. Problems obviously remain. Saturday, for example, we got about 15 letters addressed to AR A Slater (we returned .them unopened). Several days after we returned from vacation, we got some pre-Christmas mail. While we realize that postal service across the nation is in a mess, we hope Carolina can be the efficient exception. The upcoming study, we feel, should be thorough and conclusive. * if more personnel, better management, speedier ser *vice, additional training are needed, we trust that the University will move to acquire them. If the survey in dicates the University is no longer capable of operating the service, we hope it will relinquish it into more able hands. At any rate, we welcome the study and hope that it wIll be an exhaustive and open one, resulting in the better ,oetal service to which students are entitled. THE GAMECOCK Car StepP.

Thermund, a regular guy of average wit and intelligence, who, through his association with the system of higher education, reaches a conclusion which evades many of us because of its sim plicity and common sense. As he was studying for his final quiz in Philosophy 387, he noticed an irregularity in his schedule. It was not so much an irregularity as an abomination. The fact was thal he had three final quizzes on tht same day. As he thought this over, he begar 1 .qnder, *Aout t4e. ,entir4 situation.

Reginald Wierd-Smythely, who liked for his students to call himp doctor, said he had his degree, and acted as if he never got through the tenth grade and talked as if he barely got through kindergarten, took a poll of his class and found that most would rather have the final before the exam periodl and be able to go home to rest up for the next semester. Finding the results very much to his liking, he decided to hold it the next week, along with all Barney's other tests. Now Barneq had nothing against tett, g Il fet, he likd m. He loved em. oilever, by this time he had been sated, nay, glutted. He thought there would be some rhyme or reason to the madness of higher education, but, as usual, he was wrong. Poor Barney was the victim of disillusionment. He was cornered -- a scared rat in the maze of education. He thought of taking his own life, but soon realized that that was against the law, and breaking the law was against his conservative background. Barney spent a lot of time wondering about his predicament. He thought about going to see the Night is... TUDENT NIGHT (5 P.M. to Cidsing) C' SIRLOIN.
