athletic fees
The Faculty In its Wednesday meeting sent to committee a
resolution which would make the payment of athletic fees
voluntary.
President Thomas' F. Jones, presiding officer of the Faculty,
el called the resolution out of order because, he said, the matter was
one for the Board of Trustees to decide.
Dr. Peter Becker of the History Department who presented the
resolution said he recognized the final decision was up to the
Board of Trustees, but felt the Faculty Athletic Committee could
make the feelings of the faculty as an advisory body known to the
Board.
A vote was called for to overrule Jones' decision. The
resolution was passedandwas given to the Faculty Athletic
Committee.
There is no scheduled meeting of the faculty before the next
Board meeting, but the Faculty Athletic Committee can call a
faculty meeting if they feel the issue is important enough, Jones
said.
The faculty also approved lowering the GPR requirement for
student body officers from 2.5 to 2.0 Athletic Director Paul F.
Dietzel gave a report on the athletic finances.
A request for admittance to the meeting by The Gamecock was
turned d9wn 67-42. A voice vote was called for, but was in
conclusivl and a hand vote defeated the measure.

difference in response to radiation,
but it was not as wide as had been
expected.
O'Farrell also described a study
of the amount of radiation in an
Alaskan ecosystem where the
Eskimo population eats Caribou.
The Caribou feed on lichen in the
winter which absorbs radiation
from the air.
Solving environmental
problems, O'Farrell said, "is going
to require money and a set of
priorities." One of the problems
with studying radiation in the
environment is that it requires so
long to come up with base line
data. We don't have time to wait 15
or 20 years for results."
O'Farrell pointed out that the
studies in which he has been in
volved only applied to very small
areas. "Fortunately, there are
people who can think in terms of
large environmental problems,"
he said.

At 6 p.m. students identified as
Gonzalo Leon, Hank Adams .and
John W. Swing were served
warrents for possession and sale of
illegal drugs. After a lengthy
-search, Deupty Sheriff, T.E. Clark,
Jr., emerged with a soap dish
*which he stated contained
unidentified tablets and "paper
suspected to be LSD."
A young man, who had identified
himself as Ronny Shepherd when
he had lived with Leon earlier, said
he was a state agent. At least one
of the arrested were charged with
selling LSD to Shepherd.
Clark stated that there were to
be a series of arrests and "you can
consider this part of them." Of
ficer Dr. Thomas Wyatt com
mented, "There will be no massive
arrests."
The search warrants the officers
had enabled them to examine the
premises and everything around.
Leon and Adams were placed in
Clark's unmarked car. One officer
explained Adams was handcuffed
"because he had given us trouble."
When the pair of students were
hustled in the car, the area
residents who had gathered during
the searcb expressed shock at the
arrest and the handcuffing of
Adams. One bystander cried,
"They don't think we're people
who feel things, who breath, who
have babies . . . they think we're
just big animals, criminals."
According to a Richland County
police officer, the pair has been
detained at the Rchland jail. The

Three non-USC students were

The meeting had been an

days, rumors of large numbers of
warrants, including "John Doe" or
unnamed and conspiracy to
possess and sell drugs, have been
spreading over campus.
One spokesman for the group
said, "We heard about this a week
ago and now it's happening. It's
real."
During heated debate, the group
agreed to remain peaceful in the
face of an alledged series of up to
30 impending arrests.
Several students arose and
presented facts concerning arrests
and threats from USC officials and
other agencies during the past
week.

South Vietnam asked the United

they would be able to fight the war
without allies.
That time has come, according

In a lecture in Currell College
Wednesday night, Truong said,
"The help we need most now is

"The U. S. has always been

Korea and Laos.
"The United States Is the only

millions of peopl, around the

doomed all over the world."
Troung added that the Viet

Student Senate responded to a
petition Wednesday asking that a
previously passed "coed living"
bill be recalled and defeated.
The petition was highly critical
of the bill's provisions that K dorm
be made a women's dorm and that
Sims become a men's dorm. The
petition, signed by over 100
residents of K, also criticized the
bill's author, Sen John Blackshire,
for "his flamboyant and callous
display of irresponsibility."
The petition further charged that
Blackshire, who lives in dorm L,
had used dorm K as a "guinea pig
in a social experiment." Some 15
residents from K attended the
Senate session and heard Vice
President Mike Spears read their
petition before the assembly.
Sen. Jim Leppard introduced a
motion to have the bill recalled.
The motion was carried and debate

for the sick. He said that these
parts of Vietnamese life had been
ignored by the press. "It is dull for
them to depict a school or hospital
being built."
According to Troung, the South
Vietnamese have made many
concessions in Paris but they have
been ignored by the North.
We "agreed to stop bombing
Hanoi if the communists would
stop indiscriminate shelling of
populated cities but they didn't
keep their promise. In July of 1969,
me of the most generous offers in

the residents of K as they filed out

abstained from the voting.
Moving to the bills on the call of

controversial reapportionment

Senators Wyka and Leppard, was
also passed. The bill calls for more
