The Student Senate defeated
Wednesday a bill to censure The
Gamecock.
The bill, sponsored by the
Registration and Distribution
Committee, charged 'The
Gamecock with acting "in an
inaccurate manner and slurring
the ideals of Student Govern
ment."
The bill further charged that The
Gamecock "made accusations
about some unknown student
government official in a most
serious manner." It was contended
that the accusations were made in
the Feb. 16 and 18 issues of the
paper.
INVESTIGATION PROPOSED
The bill proposed that a previous
bill, asking for investigation of The
Gamecock be recalled and that the
newspaper be censured for
"printing ridiculous so-called news
items." Two sections of the bill
calling for the Board of
Publications to review The
Gamecock and report board
meetings to the Senate were
stricken by the amendment in
troduced by Sen. Robert Elliot.
In the debate which followed one
bill's introduction, Sen. Chip
Galloway, chairman of the
Registration and Distribution
Committee, said that the stories
appearing in The Gamecock
Monday and Wednesday were
based on rumors and that the

truth to the rumor that the
Registration and Distribution
Committee had discussed recalling
an SGA Official, as reported in The
Gamecock, Galloway answered,
"no comment." Several senators
pursued the question but Galloway
refused to answer.
Sen. Jean Neal said that
Galloway's refusal to discuss the
question was germane to the issue
of censuring The Gamecock. She
said the fact that the story ap
peared in print was indication that
it was not "ridiculous" and that it
had some basis.
SENTIMENTS APPLAUDED
Sen. Tyler Combs echoed Sen.
Neal's sentiments and drew ap
plause from the Senate floor.
Combs said, "We're going to
censure The Gamecock for saying
something. They just might be
right. And if they are right, we're
going to look like a bunch of asses
- excuse my language."
On the final vote, the bill was
defeated by a large margin. Ten
senators voted for the bill, 21 voted
against and four abstained. The
Senate then considered the bills on
call of the calendar.

Chief of Reporters
Rep. Heyward McDonald,
candidate for the Democratic
nomination to the second district
congressional seat, addressed the
Young Democrats here last night.
McDonald expounded his views
on the issues.
"I am running for an office, not
against an individual," he stated.
"I think the best government is the
one which is closest to the people."
He stated that in foreign policy
the United States should do its
"best to communicate with all
nations."
"I believe that we should effect
cooperation with other nations to
achieve achievements in space."
McDonald stated that he sup
ports the withdrawal of troops
from Vietnam, yet is not in favor of
a specific timetable.
On the question of dissent, he
said that "the precious right to
dissent should be preserved," and
agreed with a member that all
anti-war groups should not be
labeled "communist" or "sub
versive."
Heas saiid that he supports
"freez&m of choice" in public
schools, adding that he is againot
bussing and would like to see the
quality of education in black
schools upgraded.
He also voiced his support of
voting rights for the 18-year-olds,
stating that 18, 19 and 20 year olds
are "infinitely better informed."
He also advocated use of federal
programs to solve pollution and

explained why the bill of recall on
the member of the Student
Government cabinet was not
brought out, "We couldn't bring
the bill out today. We didn't have
enough evidence to hang
anybody."
Later he said that the move to
censure "was not intended to
criticize the Gamecock." He said
that it was introduced in place of
the original bill of recall because
the cabinet member could not have
gotten a fair hearing before the
Senate, "They were ready to
crucify him."
Galloway said that he then
substituted the motion to censure
the paper. "I have a wierd sense of
justice," he said.
HOUSING BILL PASSED
A bill presented by Sen. Jim
Pittman and passed by the Senate
calls for a change in the University
housing policy. The bill would give
freshmen and sophomores who are
of age or who have parental con
sent the right to live off campus at
their discretion.
The Senate also passed a bill
offered by Sen. Jim Leppard re
establishing the "speak out"
program. The bill designates the

crime problems, as well as to aid
individual cities in solving local
problems.
'It would be foolhardy to
predict the issues in the November
elections" he said, "but it would
probably be the school situation
and the high cost of living."
McDonald concluded by saying
that he seeks the support of the
Young Democrats and welcomes
their suggestions.

Tomorrow morning, they will

A resolution from the Academic
Affairs Committee was passed
with only one dissenting vote. The
resolution criticizes the proposals
of S. C. Rep. William Cooper that
out-of-state students be restricted
in number and that their tuition be
increased.
FRIEDMAN CRITICIZED
In other business, the Senate
heard a report submitted by
Treasurer Sid Friedman on past
and present expenditures.
Friedman was criticized by Sen.
Brian Rines for not giving a more
detailed report of the ex
penditures. Friedman said that
President Knobel would give a
more thorough report of ex
penditures in the spring.
The Senate was also submitted
with and confirmed the new ap
pointments to the Constitutional
Convention Committee. The new
members are Cathy Hines,
Julliane Lewis, Bob King and Jim
Leppard. Ellen Corley is now
serving as the Committee's
Secretary. The new appointments
were made to till vacancies

admit the children "at a price they
can afford."
"I just saw the circus last year,"
Hollingsworth stated, "and I
thought it was cool. I think there
ought to be a law that every kid
should get to see the circus."
The Wheeler Hill kids will,
thanks to the Special Projects
Committee of Bates House. an
organization set up to promote
good relations with residents of the
community in which the dorm is
located.
Last semester, children's art
classes were held each Saturday
morning by members of the Art
Department. The committee
appropriated enough money to
send a number of neighborhood
children to the class. Rick Baty,
Ronnie Johnson and Thad Burak
conducted the operations.
"Sometimes we'd take them on a
walk." states Baty. "We would go
to South Carolina Library and one
time we went to the top of Cap
stone."
"We just wanted them to see
what was around them." he added.
Baty said that there was no
trouble among the children in that
class.
"All the children would play and
work together, because kids that
age don't think anything about
color," he said, adding that e
white mother had withdrawn her
child from the class since the
Wheeler Hill children entered.
"That was real bad for the
child," he commented.
