Each club is divided into men's and women's competition. The winner is decided by overall total points after eight periods of play. Basically a point is scored when a team member, called a jammer, skates past an opponent. The game is played on an oval track 50 ft. by 90 ft. which can be put together in a matter of hours. The skating is always counter clockwise except in the event of a brawl between opposing members. This aspect of the game is very similar to Ice Hockey where penalties are issued for illegal tactics and fighting. The Bay Bombers are led by Player Coach Charlie "Mr. Roller Derby" O'Connell, a 17 year veteran. He has brought the -Craig KUmartim for debate tournament. assful its Each team has with it a number of metal boxes, containing cards with information, facts, statistics and quotes pertaining to the subject under consideration.

Cutbacks may hurt Post-grads "Graduate programs at South Carolina may suffer serious set backs s a result of federal budget cutbacks," according to USC Graduate Program Director H. Willard Davis. Dean Davis said that as a result of the Nixon Administration's budget cuts the amount of federal aid to graduate programs will become smaller in scope. Two years ago graduate studies total of intraining was on the in crease, but now with the federal cuts training is on the decline, Davis said. Davis feels USC's graduate programs are "holding their own" in competition with other schools. He said that students are urged to move to other schools when they enter the field of graduate work. He said that the Carolina graduate programs are becoming more and more attractive to outside students because of the diversity offered at USC. Davis pointed this diversity out by saying that some of the sub departments are conducting programs that will benefit the people of South Carolina. An example of this is the work of The Traffic and Transportation Center in connection with the S.C., Senate Highway Department. These two departments are working to cut down the number of traffic deaths and accidents. NO ONE UNDER 17 CUiNT SKI THRILLS. NO ONE UNDER 17 PLUS "99 WOMEN" ate. hopper. sus Horseshoe 1g.)
