TheIGAMECOCK VOL. LXV NO. 42 The University of South Carolina, Columbia, S.C. MONDAY, FEB. 24. 1975 Yearb( BY BILL PRATT Of The Gamecock staff Shipments for this year's "Garnet and Black" will be delayed as much as seven weeks. The delay will push the distribution date back to May 31. Originally, the yearbook was scheduled to arrive April 12. The problem occurred becuase the "Garnet and Black" staff missed four of its five deadlines. Yearbook editor Fred Merritt said he expects the fifth deadline, which is today, to be missed. "If you have to put the fault somewhere it would have to be on the staff," Merritt said. Students i W arriors BY BILLY COX Of The Gamecock staff How do you pack 4,000 students into a cold one-room building and keep them happy for four hours? Well, you provide a band that plays progressive top 40, buy 85 kegs of beer and pray you can make it stretch. If it doesn't, just hope the crowd is too zapped out to care. In the continuing saga of USC students' heroic efforts to prepare for the long-awaited Marquette game, a beer bust was thrown at the Hampton Building at the state fairgrounds Friday night.

"We should be able to get the pages in by Friday," Merritt said. "We have approximately 45 pages out from the plant," Merritt said. "We have 35 pages to go. Most of them can be put together in the span of a day. " Merritt said "National Lam poon" and "U.S.C. News and World Report" are the two magazine sections of the year irown in beer building with wings on their feet and beer on their minds. - Theoretically, at least, Marquette never stood a chance. The party was set for 8 p.m., and for those who weren't Bates, Woodrow or Preston residents, admission was three bucks per head, or $5 for a couple of heads. A lot of students felt the best way to reach the fairgrounds was to hop on one of the buses. "Driving out there's no problem," said one. "But driving back? Ain't no way . . ." One driver accepted the challenge of lugging a busload of wild passengers with a humble sense of noblesse oblige, ignoring in vitations to imbibe as he puffed and chewed on a fat stogie. What would their mamas and daddies think? The first wave plunged into the Continued on Page 5 On the inside. GRADES--Students are talking about the Faculty Senate's move to bring back F's.
