CALENDAR
A'change in the calendar of the University may be
brought up at today's meeting. If it were approved, USC
.students would be able to relax and enjoy the Christmas
holidays without the dark cloud of exams above them.
-E xams would be given before Christmas, as they are ai
other schools which begin the fall semester in August and
end the spring semester in early May. As it stands now,
students from schools on the earlier schedule have a head
start on summer jobs, as well as freedom from the gulli
whl;h arises when one doesn't during the Christmas break.
We think USC students would support this. The possible
cpmplication would be one short summer during the
transition of schdules; which could be lived with.
Inertia-style of SG
Student Government Ideally reflects the alms, wishes and
opinions of the student body.
The Student Senate presently has 62 members and the
addition of a healthy sized executive branch furnishes
Student Government with ample manpower, intelligence,
ambition and politicians. Ingredients essential to a func
tional, smooth running and efficient organization are in
evidence.
Despite a continuing effort on the part of SG to be inept,
inert, nonsensical and less than mdiocre, a few gains have
been made in areas of student concern that require
comendation.
Lines of communication for students between faculty,
administration and the Board of Trustees are slowly
materializing. A concerted effort is being -made by the
Legislative.Liaison Committee to humanize USC students in
the eyes of the state legislature, and pressure for a safer
campus has been a factor in obtaining better lighting.
.4- fortunately the accomplishments of SG do not out.
weigh the excessive expenditures of student fees. The South
Carolina State Student Legislature consisted of a four day
cocktail party at the Sheraton Inn at a cost of $705. A total of
$4,000 was spent earlier this semester for a weekend
leadership retreat.
An analysis of funds spent and the overall effectiveness of
Student Government this semester is justifiable and in
order.
A sense of responsibility, awareness ef MUn needs and
more fiscal accountability Is not a Cyclopean request.
In fact it should not be a request, it should be assumed.

Dear Miss Manning:
It is indeed reassuring to note
that the simple, down-to-earth,
unsophisticated manners of
Gamecock students and players
have not been affected by national
ranking and a "big-league" field
house.
The manner in which McGuire's
New Yorkers handled Maryland's
basketball team should further
relieve any apprehension on the
part of Carolinians that Nor
theasterners are "effete in
tellectual snobs" who might sully
the reputation of our "hard
drinking-hard-fighting-good-old.
boy" student body. What is this
nonsense that "Learning Polishes
Men and Does Not Permit them to
be Rude"?

'Glass Menagerie'
Dear Miss Manning:
I write merely to make public
feeling too often kept private. The
University's production of "The
Glass Menagerie" was terrifically
moving.
Needless to say the choice of this
play was important---the play is a
beautiful one. However, without a
good performance the play is
plodding---lacking the superb
performance that it was given on
Friday night (Dec. IDl--the play
fails to move.
However, the performance was
exceptional as was the play.
Making what is called artistic
experience a reality. I thank and
praise those who afforded me such
an experience. They are all too
rare.

Dh-ar Miss Manning:
I would like to comment on a
certain letter or, rather, emotional
wallowing of a certain Doug
Williams in the December 14 I
edition of The Gamecock. I realize
that was sometime ago, but it's
taken me this long to get my
nerves back in ordjer after that
moving little bit of goo Mr.
Williams entitled "Starstruck." It
dealt with the universal theme,
universal for Americans that is, of
meeting one's favorite sports idol
in the flesh and groveling before n
him in speechless adoration and K
worship.
I winced throughout the article ti
as such horrifying clinches as ii
"teeth promptly fell to the floor" a
(when Mr. Williams catches sight c
of John Ribock), of having U
" asthritis of the tongue" (when he s
tries to ask John Roche a question) 0
and much more flew by; the least e1
of which was, "There he was: John It
Roche ...sitting on a stool. Not ni
walking on water." If Mr. Williams fi
would like a sacred relic I could M
take him to a certain room on the IT
ground floor of 'N' in the Men's V4
Towers, where Mr. Ribock was a i1
neighbor of mine for a full ai
semester, and point out a trash can til
I once loaned to him to keep beer fo
and ice in for a small party. di

Now, it is not so much Mr. Sul
Williams' atrocious journalism I'
that moves me as it is the spirit of th
the article--and Mr. Williams is not ar
the only guilty one of this sort of b.%
thing by any means. In short, I find th

3 say is that if The Gamecock
isists on so much sports coverage
nd the rehashing of stale news
oncerning it over the many other
iings that are aesthetically more
itisfying and also insists on an
verdose of clear-as-mud
litorializing. then it should at
