‘Cinderellas ’
go to Florida
for tournament
The midnight hour hasn't
struck yet for Newberry Col
lege’s basketball Cinderellas.
They have accepted an invita
tion to represent the NAIA in
the Southern AAU cage tour
ney at Cocoa Beach, Fla., March
15 and 16.
Coach Nield Gordon’s Indians
thought the season was over
last week when Asheville-Bilt-
more tripped them in the NAIA
district finals. But they’ll leave
this Thursday for the six-team
Florida competition.
A drawing was to be held
Monday to determine the In-
lians’ first-round opponent.
Other entries at Cocoa Beach
are state winners of AAU eli
minations in Alabama, Georgia
Louisiana, Mississippi, and
Florida. This weekend’s winner
will become one of 16 teams
to play for the national AAU
title in Macon, Ga., later this
month.
At Cocoa Beach, the Indians
will represent all six Southern
districts of the NNAIA. In
seeking AAU honors, they’ll
probably be up against club en
tries, all-star aggregations and
industrial teams, in addition to
some college fines.

Vet insurance
is available
to disabled
South Carolina veterans who
suffered injury or illness in
service may be entitled to as
much as $10,000 in life insur
ance in addition to the regular
G. I. policy which they may
convert on becoming civilians.
That is the word of Stanley
Zuk, Manager of the Columbia
Veterans Administration Regi
onal Office.
Zuk said that this coverage
is under VA’s National Service
Life Insurance program for
men with a disability rated by
VA as service connected. The
veteran must otherwise be in
good health and must apply
for the policy within one year
after the rating.
Veterans who wish to con
tinue the Servicemen’s Group
Life Insurance they held while
in uniform may do so by ap
plying for a commercial poli
cy with one of some 600 com
panies approved by VA to
handle low-cost, converted SC
LI policies.
This insurance must be
converted within 120 days af
ter separation and the policies
are in force during this period
at no cost to the veteran.
Zuk explained that a combi
nation of the two programs
could give * a disabled veteran
a maximum of $20,000 in low-
cost life insurance.
The Columbia VA Regional
Office head urged veterans
who have received service-con
nected disability ratings from
VA within the past year but
who have not applied for NSLI
coverage to act immediately so
that they will not lost out on
this benefit.
Application forms and as
sistance from trained VA per
sonnel in filling them out are
available at the regional office
he said.
‘Activists’ on
Clemson campus
do good works
CLEMSON.—While students
around the world seem to be
in perpetual revolt against so
ciety, student action of a dif
ferent type at Clemson Uni
versity is producing some pos
itive contributions toward help
ing others.
Many Clemson students are
working to clean-up the good
name of “student activities”
through constructive community
service. Their voluntary work
ranges between the tutoring of
underprivileged children to
raising money for the Heart
Fund.
Rep. Walter T. Lake of Newberry, center, will appear
on a special program, “Legislative Profiles” over the S.
S. ETV Network on March 14. Also on the program are
Sen. Michael Laughlin of Aiken, left, and Harvey Teal,
ETV social studies instructional specialist.
Clemson student government
k. a£ ! move d to expand the ac
tivities of these volunteers who
want to improve the lives of
others. Student Senate action
has created a department of
community services within the
student government organiza
tion and the new position of
secretary of community ser
vices.
Marion D. Aldridge, vice
president of the Clemson stu
dent body, is spearheading the
work of the new University
Students Program for Com
munity Service. Particular em
phasis will be placed on pro
jects in Pickens and Oconee
counties.
Aldridge says the program
will serve as a clearing house
for applications from individ
ual students and campus ser
vice groups who want to vol
unteer their time for various
community-aid work at local,
state, and national levels. From
the other direction, the new de
partment will receive requests
from persons or groups need
ing student volunteers.
“The program was designed
to accomplish just what its
name implies,” says Aldridge.
However, he feels the relation
ships between student and com
munity can be improved thru
a large student participation
in service coordinated thru the
program.
Some of Clemson’s “student
activists” who already give of
their time and talents toward
improving the community in
clude undergraduates who work
several hours apiece each week
with children at the Clemson
Day Care Center.
Students feel the experience
is excellent preparation for a
career in teaching. Children
benefit from the interest of the
older students and the young
teachers gain a better under
standing of children and how
they think.
Another campus group, Stu
dents for Educational Aid, tu
tors under-privileged children
in communities near Clemson.
The 45 members of SEA help
youngsters with their reading
and mathematics in an effort
to improve a child’s chances
for a successful career in later
life.
“We want to make the
children feel like someone
cares about them and their
future,” says an SEA member.
Other Clemson students also
help in many worthwhile pro
jects. A social fraternity re
cently spent one week collect
ing $852 for the S. C. Heat't
Association.
“Through the new student
government program,” says Mr.
Aldridge, “many Clemson stu
dents who aren’t aware of the
opportunities to serve their
community and state can now
channel their energies through
constructive means. Equally
important, community organiz
ations and functions that need
volunteer student help don’t
know where to ask for it, will
now have the means to fill
their requests.”
Requests are being accepted
for almost any type of part-
time work for students. This
may include town clean-up
campaigns, clerical work for
adult education programs oi
coaching little league baseball
teams.
Requests for student ser
vices have already been receiv
ed from some community and
student service groups, and
several off-campus organiza
tions contacted by Aldridge
have responded enthusiastically
to the idea of such a coordina
ting program.
