FELLENBAUM Chief Reporter 'Te University of South Carolina Magazine featured a special report entitled "The Months of May" an account of the events before and during the campus disorders in May. It was written by a committee representing students, faculty, and the administration. Every person on the committee was an eye witness to most of the events described. The report said that various issues "politicized a substantial majority of the student body." Internal questions were listed as "(1) curriculum revision; (2) the Green Street Methodist Church controversy; (3) building priorities of the University; (4) the question of the University's future in the Atlantic Coast Conference; (5) coed visitation; (6) quality of food and food service particularly at Bates House; (7) annnounced student fee increases for 1970-1971; and (8) a question of refrigerators in residence halls." "Exjernal issues included (1) emotional residue from the South Prioritic Priority hearings began for many anxious students Sunday with a valid excuse or a persuasive tone in his voice. Student body senators presided over the hearings to approve or reject the numerous requests. During the first session, which lasted until 4:15 p.m., approximately 275 priorities were granted from a group of 350 requests.

In a letter to alumni of the University, President Jones said; "I feel this narrative should be read by all alumni of this University. It makes no attempt to editorialize or to gloss over the events which took place on this campus between February and June, 1, 1970." The report calls the disorders last May the third major con ,s given appointments in place of the previously used priority I and priority II. This year's priority appointments were given at any time throughout the two days of scheduling as deemed necessary by the hearing committees. In this way, a student receiving a priority would register before his class and not before the entire student body. Most people involved agreed that the new priority system was an improvement over last year's. .t cards lation this year will sponsor :ards.

The student body attacked the homes of the faculty members who were instrumental in the arrests. The militia was called out to restore order. The second incident "occurred in 1865 when restless students baited town police. The two-day riot has been described as the worst of the ante-bellum period," even though armed conflict between students and the militia was averted. The report also included the USC Russell House Policy, the student senate resolution supporting the class strike, a resolution passed by the faculy condemning violence, supporting the University, and their plans for keeping the peace.

Appointments fo.r having pictures made are being scheduled beginning today at the Coliseum. Yearbooks are reserved by paying $2 at the time the picture appointment is made. Pleming said about 900 books were not picked up last year. These will be sold for $3 each. "Anyone who had his picture made last year and didn't get a book may get one without further payment if he has his receipt," Pleming said. "We'd like to talk to any in terested freshmen who worked on their high school book." This year's Garnet and Black "is going to be different," he said.
