The present education crisis in
Southern states stemmed from
people's fear of the umknown and
gaps of leadership, according to
Maynard Jackson, vice-mayor
elect of Atlanta.
Jackson, the first Negro to ever
hold that office, told students at
tending the first Governor's
Leadership Conference Friday
that such terms as "freedom of
choice" and "law and order" are
code language used by those who
"don't have the guts to live in a
democracy."
Some 2000 student leaders from
the state's four year colleges and
universities attended the con
ference in the Wade Hampton
Hotel Feb. 13-14.
"How much time and money
have we spent trying to justify the
unjustible?" Jackson asked.
"Our rights are limited by the
rights of others. Nobody ever said
democracy would be easy but it's
worth fighting for."
Jackson said that he believed
that Southern leaders opposed to
busing students to intergrate
schools were sincere. "Among
those my governor-well, their
governor--is sincere."

The Registration and
Distribution Committee of the
Student Senate met in closed
session last night and unanimously
passed a "Bill of Recall ."
A bill of recall would allow for
the censure of student officials for
infractions of rules.
Student leaders refused to
comment on the incident involved
or rules violated.
In a letter to The Gamecock
Friday, Committee Chairman Chip
Galloway mentioned a "member
of student government who did up
validate a number of his friends'
fee cards."

D)r. Roger A. Holmes assumed
his position this semester as dean
of the USC College of Engineering.
Holmes is vitally interested in,
and has been involved with, study
and research related to "people"
things: pollution, health, food
production and other applied
problems.
Holmes, who came to USC from
Purdue University, says he is
impressed with the healt hy growth
of industry in South Carolina and
hopes the USC College of
Enigineering will be more involved
in that growth.

He said that the South needs men
like Governor Robert E. McNair
"who regardlesss of personal
opinions say 'this is the law.' I'm
not going to counsel defiance of the
law."
"I believe the South will lead
America in the idea of the
American dream." Jackson said
that he returned to Atlanta after
finishing law school because he
does believe in the South.
However, he said that he does
not believe in the South of "worn
out, land, lynching and hypocracy.
I reject it. That South will lie to
whites as well as blacks."
"One reason I do believe
something is happening here is
that there is an awakening among
poor white Southerners. That
poor white on a farm or in a city
who sends his kid to an inferior
school has quit saying 'It's all right
because I'm white."
According to Jackson, many
people especially among the young
are beginning to see the
irrelevancy of race.
"I'm not talking about racism
white or black; I'm talking about
issues and people--just plain
people." He said that all these

the Student Senate Wednesday
night. The bill includes a request
that the case be heard in closed

asked to attend "for comments and

Galloway.

A UFO spokesman said there is

Holmes, a former student of Dr.
Thomas F. Jones, USC president,
when the two were at MIT
together, says the USC engineering
school has strong bases, especially
the faculty and curriculum, on
which to continue to build.
As a professor, Hohnes' primary
area is electrical engineering,
especially solid state devices.
A native of Dover, N.J.. and a
graduate of the U.S. Coast Guard
Academy, Holmes received his
M.S. from MIT and the Ph. D. from
Purdue. He taught at Purdue from
1955 until accepting the USC post.

people want the South "to break
loose from the past and strive
boldly. To know one another is to
love one another. If we can prove
that here; if men of foresight and
goodwill can create a multiracial
society of democracy then we shall
offer a model of possibility."
At a luncheon prior to Jackson's
speech, McNair called the con
ference "truly significant even for
the state of South Carolina and its
Carolina and its college student
leadership."
According to McNair, the press
had described the conference as a
"confrontation between the so
called establishment and
students."
"Unfortunately, we live in an
age when the politics of
divisiveness are in vogue," he
said.
According to McNair, there are
those who exploit differences for
political gain of special interests.
"At a time when the partnership
and teamwork of all elements of
society are needed to tackle our
nation's problems, we see a drift
away from reason and toward
emotionalism, "McNair added.
He said that we must resist the
passed
government and of a closed
meeting of the Student Body
President and certain student
government members last
Thursday night. It is not supposed
to be a personality conflict with
any members of the student
government," Galloway said.
"The members of the student
government should be above board
and completely honest with the
students," he said.
"Whether or not this case should
be presented to the Senate has
been discussed with numerous
student senators and faculty
members," he added.
Galloway said he assumed that
the results of the Senate's meeting
would be made public Wednesday
night.
The committee also passed a bill
last night which would make it
possible for students -to register
according to semester hours
rather than by class standing. Bills
to revise distribution of football
tickets and date books were also
passed.
Tricentennial
publications
USC's history department is
publishing several historical
studies of South Carolina to be used
i conjunction with Tricentennial
celebrations.
Dr. George Rogers, USC history
professor, is chairman of the
Committee on Scholarly Activities
of the Tricentennial Commission
which will do research for five
types of publications being
promoted by the commission.
"We are trying to get the best on
their subjects from all over, but
ince we started work so very late,
we had to consider what people
might be doing at the moment, not
what we could get them to do,"
Rogers said.
"We hope the works will be of
interest to the layman in South
Carolina, not just the historians.
'There is no attempt to be throigh
i the studies; rather, the purpose
is a revitalization of South Carolina
history," he added.
A series of booklets to be printed
at the University Press and sold
for $1.45 at the Tricentennial parks
is one area of publication, ac
cording to Rogers.

Universities are places for
disagreements, according to Yale
University President Kingman
Brewster.
Addressing the closing luncheon
of the Governor's Leadership
Conference Saturday, he said,
"Students today are puzzled and
can no longer take certain values
because they have been given to
them.
"The left and the right radicals.
are both terribly ideological,
militant and convinced that the
system won't work," he said. "And
our exaggeration of silence may be
our biggest mistake."
He did not seek to condemn the
state of restlessness in the country,
saying that "The awareness of the
condition of the world is the source
of restlessness which should be
considered."
"We should reject those who
want to give up on the system and

the departments of music and
theatre.
"I think we have some of the top
student talent in South Carolina in
this production, ," Guy Hargrove,
director of the USC Opera
Workshop, said, since all are ex
perienced either in music or
theatre.
Lloyd Thompkins, a regional
talent contest winner of the N.Y.

Brewster said.
He called upon delegates to
realize that universities were
places for disagreement and that
these disagreements were to be
"expected and not disapproved
of.'
Brewster suggested that the way
in which students could convey
their grievances with ad
minstrations in large universities
is to "de-centralize channels of
communication with ad
ministration.
"Of course, I 'realize that the

Three male residents in
tenement 15 of the Horseshoe
dorms broke open house rules with
their three dates Saturday af
ternoon, according to L. Eugene
Cooper, dean of men.
Campus police investigated the
situation in the tenement and
notified the students that the open
house ended at 6 p.m. The male
students said that they were un
certain as to the restrictions of the
open house when they were en
countered by the police.
According to Cooper, the six
students were watching TV
together at about 8 p.m. when they
were informed of the open-house
regulation.
Cooper said that some
disciplinary action will be taken
against the three men because it
was their responsibility to check
the regulation. He said he did not
speak with the three girls, but that
the responsibility for checking on
the time did not really fall on them.
According to Cooper, all dorms
may apply for open house up to 6
p.m. He said that it is the
responsibility of the dorm
government to put up notification
of the open house arrangements in
the individual dorms. If a dorm has
been granted open house, it is
informed by noon Wednesday of
that week, he said.
According to Fred Monk, Hor
seshoe dorm president, all Hor
seshoe dorms were notified of the
open house regulations.
"Although this incident might
have been accidental, it has hurt
all Horseshoe residents and our
effort to liberalize open house
hours," Monk said.
"Only by being conscious of
present rules and by demon
strating 'our ability to assume
responsibility can we obtain
rightfully the privileges we should
be able to enjoy," he said.
"Open house hours should be
extended to allow residents to
utilize their residences as homes at

Since students pay for their
rooms they should be able to use

wishes provided no laws are

"The University has come a long
