This last summer, while not
being overly active or other wise,
was a time in which USC students
witnessed controversy, changes,
and decisions.
ROTC
Starting the summer on
somewhat of a cadence step, it was
announced that the Air Force
Reserve Officers Training Corps
here at USC was going to accept
for the first time in the school's
history women.
To quote Col. Joe N. Swanger,
A lc
USC Professor of Aerospace
Studies, "Essentially, the
guidelines for women students will
be the same as for the males."
MEF
The Metropolitan Education
Foundation held a day camp and
sports program for the disad
vantaged children of the Columbia
area.
This organization Is one of the
outstanding of its sort In the
Columbia vicinity. Comprised of.
mostly USC students, it has done
various worthwhile and helpful
projects to help benefit both the
disadvantaged of Columbia, apd it
has also helped ease some of the
strained feelings between the
Columbia community and.Carolina
students.

finishing date will probably take
one or two years.
The University also is in the
beginning stages of building a new
women's dormitory just north of I
Capstone. This will increase the
housing capacity by ac
commodating 500 women.
Parking has lately become a
major problem to the Univrsity.
To relieve the congested ti-affic, a
new 430-car Parking Garage (in
the present parking area south of
Blossom Streeet between Sumter
and Marion Streets) will be!
completed by next fall. Residentsi
of University Terrace and holders
of "B" decals will find parking
space behind the Undergraduate
Library. A notice was issued by
vice president Brunton explainingj
necessary facts.
Completing the list will be the
extention of the undergraduate
UAbrary to the south of the present
structure. This work will not start
for one or two years.

Several changes are on tap for
the more than 13,000 students who
will be registering on the USC
main campus today and Tuesday.
The major change calls for
students to register by the number
of hours earned towards their
degree. In the past, students
registered by the date that they
first entered Carolina.
Students were sent "passes" to
the coliseum stating the time they'
would be allowed to enter to begin
registration. The times were
computed on the basis of the
number of hours earned by each
student.
This new system was recom
mended by the Student Senate last
spring. _ It was designed to.
eliminate unequitable delays that
plagued transfer students.
Previously, a transfer student
entering as a sophomore, junior or
senior had to wait to register with
three m
resignation. Foard accused Jones
of having a lack of backbone in
dealing with the disorders of last
spring, saying, "I can name many
instances where if he (Jones) had
used a little backbone, many
things that have gone wrong would
have been corrected."
To which Jones replied, "The
University has to be as free from
politics as possible to be a great
university."
Foard also called for a clean-up
of all the drug traffic on campus.
STUDENT SUSPENSION

At the same time twelve of the 31 ~
students involved the Russell

EDUCATION
The School of Education
received full accreditation from
the Nati,onal Council For Ac
creditation of Teacher Education,
which is professional recognition.
This marked the first time an
institution in the state received
such accredition.
BENDER
Directly after Foard's demand
of Jones's resignation a'local artist
announced his intentions to oppose
Foard in the upcoming elections.
Stating the he .will resign if
elected and l'et the governor choose
a replacement, Bob Bender, lean
and sharp-featured, said he
wanted to give the people an
alternative.

Foard's charges.
HEW
In mid July a letter from the
department of Health, Education
and Welfare proposed that USC
change some racial segregation
patterns. In response to this letter,
President Jones said: USC is
trying many things to comply with
all the guidelines set forth by
HEW.

Plain Dealer" and working on a
collective staff basis, the paper
later issued Its first edition, selling
more issues than any other out

DRESS CODES
Seeming to follow what has
become somewhat of a fad,
Michael Mungo, a member of the
USC Board of Trustees, called for
some reforms in the student dress
and'attire code and the President's
office.
As a remedy to stop further
disturbances, such as those of last
spring, Mungo said he would have
entering students sign a pledge
that would require "reasonable
decorum as to conduct, dress and
personal hygiene as Its more
salient features.'"
He also said, "Any young adult

The University's failure to
provide enough dormitories, and a
large number of new and transfer
students has caused an acute
housing shortage on campus. Over
100 men and 75 women on waiting
lists are being forced to look
elsewhere for lodging until
adequate facilities are available.
A building at 1616 Hampton
Street, formerly used by the Smith
Corona Company as a printing
school, has been leased by the
University as temporary quarters
for 68 women students, according
to James P. Cooper, assistant
*director of housing.
'lie nulding was leased for one
semester only. Campus police will
patrol the area. The building has a
cafeteria, but a dorm counselor
said that it probably won't be
opened. Vending machines are
available for snacks. There is also
a gameroom with pool tables, but
:will'tie open only to residents of the
temporary dorm.
The shortage has hit the women
students hardest. All study lounges
in South Building and South Tower
have been converted into dorm
rooms by adding beds. and war
drobes for closets.
The lease on Columbia Hall
expires at the end of the spring
semester of this year. Capstone

"Due to the generous student
ticket allotment by Ralph Floyd
and ticket manager Ray Faircloth,
it is expected that these individual
date tickets will be available for
every game," Miss Wheeler said.
"If you're going to buy a date
ticket, you'd might as well wait
and get both at the same time,"
she said.
The plan for distributing tickets
for the rest of the home games will
be the same as the one used for
distributing basketball tickets in
the spring. Students will pick up
tickets in their class lines ac

Cooper said South Building has a

instead of a normal 150 and 248. The
rooms in Sims designed for two
girls will be occupied by three. The
third floor of Columbia Hall, which
was formerly used for offices, has
been converted into living areas,
he added.
Sheila Salter, a freshman who
lives in South Tower, lives in one of
the converted study lounges. She
said, "It's the best room on the
floor, it's carpeted, it's great.
And we don't want to get moved,"
she added.
Another freshman, Sue Gray,

"They're beautiful rooms," she
said. "They have two real nice
dressers, and big closets," Kathy

"would be great when they get the

Another girl said, "It's not too
bad except there's no locks on the
door and no lights. We have a rack
for closets. That's really the only
complaint I have."
