VOL. LXII -NO. 68 University of South Carolina, Columbia, S. C. 29208 Wednesday, March 15, 1972 Student stadium Students will have some 3,000 more seats at football games next season. Bob Thomasson and H. Clinton Sloan, student members of the Faculty-Student Athletic Com mittee, said the additional student seats range from section 44 through section 52, 2,250 seats allotted for the USC faculty and staff. Thomasson reported that after talking with Paul Dietzel, athletic director, the athletic department conceded approximately 3,000 more football seats for the student body in 1972. He said the majority of these seats are sideline seats. "With the additional seating students gained through the stadium expansion last year, Thomasson said students should have received better seating, "however, this was not the case," he said. "Also, over the past eight to nine years the size of the student body has increased two-fold. And the students, instead of getting better sideline seats, were ex tended on through the south end zone." According to Thomasson, one of the major factors in the acquistion of these additional seats was op posing teams' fans seated behind WEAL's or discussed a By CHRIS SCHWEICKERT Staff Writer Rock Hill architect Paula Treder held an informal question and answer session at the organizational meeting of the Women's Equity Action League (WEAL) Monday night. Treder spoke on the organization of WEAL saying, "It's a govern ment regulated thing," because "it's a corporation." WEAL is presently applying to the Internal Revenue Service for classification as a nonprofit organization. Treder stated, when this status is granted the national bylaws of WEAL will be revised and state division laws will have to conform to the national laws. A state division requires 25 paying members to be recognized, Treder said. "It's hard (even in a state as small as South Carolina) for all of us who are members to * get together on a regular basis,much less a frequent basis." She urged those present to spread the news of the organiation thmoughnout the state s gain seats :he USC team bench. Thomasson said, "I felt their :heering for the opposing team >layed havoc with the morale of >ur team bench." About the present seats, z rhomasson said, "All of the Z ,voooden seats, with their sharp un splinters, will be removed. The netal will be sandblasted and epainted and aluminum seats, dentical to those in the stadium Z addition, will be installed." Each of the new seats will be 18 nches wide. "It is the intention of he Athletic Department that the )etter seats will be given out to the otudents," he said, "and those urned back for public sale will be n the end zone." Thomasson said, "Coach Dietzel las been very receptive to the student ideas concerning student seating at the Carolina football games." I feel this is our first advance in >btaining a better position for the ;tudents in so far as athletic tickets ire concerned. He added that he planned con- r Jinued efforts in obtaining more f satisfactory distribution of athletic y seats. 0 0 r ganization t meeting so local units could be set up and t the "people involved in it (WEAL) can get right down to the im mediate sore points within their A community." "WEAL has tried to be, I sup pose, in some ways a very con ventional organization," she said, "and perhaps this has alienated the male establishment." "I think WEAL is going to take off and go," Treder said. "There is absolutely, flat-out, no discrimination in WEAL as long as the members agree with the organization's basic purpose." Treder said about her position as national Committee Chairman for Help-Wanted Ads that many employers seeking help will ad vertise, giving a box number to which an applicant should write. If, however, the applicant is female, she said, many companies will never reply.
