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.

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 F going to look like a bunch of asses < - excuse my language." On the final vote, the bill was f 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. 0 e After the meeting, Galloway p McDonald 18 year-ol By HARRY HOPE C Chief of Reporters if Rep.
