This is the opinion of David Cohen, a USC student who is one of the 10.2 million "under 21" young Americans recently granted the right to vote in federal elections by a U.S. Supreme Court Ruling. lert] inchA the off ces N ; ident, vice president, senators and congressmen. Registration of 18, 19 and 20 year olds started January 1 when the revised version of the Voting Rights Act of 1970 went into effect. Approximately 80 young people registered in Richland and Charleston counties on the first day of registration, according to James Ellisor, executive director of the state election commission. Ellisor said that when a person goes to register he will be issued a restricted certificate which will be stamped in large red letters "valid ,only in Federal elections." ThiE certificate must be presented for a person to be allowed to vote. In order to vote in the special election which will be held to fill the vacancy created by the deati of Rep. Mendel Rivers, D.

He said that the turnout of restricte< voters would be highest among News analysis college students, because there is not enough time to organize the other young people. A pre-election, "news annlysis" in The Charlotte Observer said that "most knowledgeable politicians and elections experts do not exnect this hefty intusion of 18 to-20-year-olds to change national voting pattern very much." The analysis said that "this view is based on several arguments: 1. Although eligible for the first time, a majority of the 10.2 million new voters won't even bother to vote. In the four states (Kentucky, Georgia, Alaska and Hawaii) where citizens under 21 already have the vote, less than one-half of them are registered and less than one third went to the polls in 1968. 2. Past election results indicate that those under 21 who voted ir Law plans Plans for the new USC Lav School met with final approva beFore Christmas, according t Harold Brunton, vice president o: pbusiness affairs.

McNeill said the ving final exams before the same time feels a strong responsibility to, serve S.C. teachers who make up a large part of the students in the summer sessions. McNeill said that if the calendar should go into effect, the College of Education might begin a summer school program based on three sessions of three, six and three weeks. Under such a schedule, public school teachers would be able to receive at least nine weeks of credit instead of only six weeks. But he also said that there were certain problems in teaching a three-week course. The Faculty Senate also voted in favor of accepting professional librarians on campus to full faculty voting membership. USC soc e by Univ By BOB BIGALKE Staff Writer The USC soccer team has ecome the latest victim of :'ampus expansion. In an effort to provide more parking to students, Field "A," formerly the soccer field, has become a 300 space parking lot. With the soccer goals gone and the field littered with cars, the team has fallen apart. The soccermen are not the only members of the Carolina Com munity affected by the change, according to one professor. Dr. Richard Rempel of the History Department lamented the loss of the playing field. "It was one of the few places where graduate students, faculty and staff could go to play touch foot ball," he said. "Members of the different lepartments used to go dowvn and play against each other, not only in Football, but also in intramural softball. Now they are relegated to one little field with 4 diamonds on it, and the outfielders and con holida ed in connection me n's dormitories, atI with city do.- the Ich has resulted three luvenies, perty valued at 1 anc 26, 27 and 26, ma oost and Bates submitted to E ,an estimated to sec ma sail USED the exception of smitted by non l'alkie radios to th4 the Roost over b ledly committedga ANTICIPATED ,Gog Key, as d that ne "didn't, Chrlstmas. .', E'3 .. -.-~ P,, sal Freshmei ID's neet Changes in registratio procedures will allow some fresh men to register on the first day c scheduling.

" think it's a scandal," he continued "that when there are so fev facilities, they should take a goo( field." "Graduate students and facult) feel that in a school with 14,000 students we are badly off. As a matter of fact, many high schools are better off than USC is now, and this is a tragedy when you look at the money being poured into the athletic program," he said. The Administration's reason foi closing off the field was given as a "massive parking problem" ac cording to Harold Brunton, vice president for Business Affairs. "USC is planning a massive parking complex, one part ol which is the area behind thE Coliseum. The other will be a parking garage on South Blossonm St. between Sumter and Marion next to Booker T.

Carolina student Gene Siers R disagrees. "Young people will make the older generation more conscious," he said. "They will see what the candidates stand for now and stimulate their concern." The analysis is "unfortunately correct," according to amother student, Michael Sheehan. "The people in college may swing it to the more liberal candidates, but not substantially, unfortunately," ho-said. According to Ellisor, problems have been created which will need attention. The main problem is how voting in the precinct will be conducted. Four counties, Richland, Charleston, Greenville and Spartanburg use voting machines, whereas the rest of the counties use paper ballots. In the cases where machines are used, Ellisor said that he is going to propose that paper ballots be used for restricted voters. Those counties already using paper ballots would continue to, ac cording to Ellisor. He said that separate paper ballots would contain the names of candidates for federal offices. okayed Procedures for the plan drawing entail five steps which include plan organization, approval, sub mission of bids, awarding of bids and the final construction. The new facility, which will cost an estimated $4 million, should be ,partially opened by the fall of 1972, according to Brunton. He said that it will consist of three buildings. Brunton said that the new school will be located on the north side of D)evine St., between Assembly and Main Streets. 3 follow Campus Police cooperated tectives .n an Investigation wh in the arrest of six adults and and the recovery of stolen pro $7,259.65. involved were Tenements 25 buildings D, J, and L, The R House.

We also ushed the Blossom St. lot down to tne Intramural field. As soon as the garage is complete Field A will be r restored and the Undergraduate Library lot will be closed.

To avoid the lines there, students can pick up an ID at the Campus Police Station during .January. Appointment cards were mailed to students at their homes during the Christmas Holidays. Also incorporated into the registration process is a new drop add procedure. After turning in registration materials, a course hange will be affected by drop )ing or adding a course on 4'ebruary 4. 5. or 8.
