“The Student Union lounge is just what students choose to make it.” Dr. Albert Zech, counselor of men. *aid yesterday.
Investigations have shown irregularities in the use of, lounge facilities. Last week’s disturbance shows that stu-; dents are being victimized by
professional gamblers.

Zech said. “I have been very pleased to note students ‘policing’ irregularities in the lounge in the past and therein lies the solution to this problem."	,

Disturbances of this type are rare, but the fact that SC students are being victimized by professional gamblers is. Mrs. Tiegs feels, serious enough to warrant curbing.
“The lounge is very comfortable and it is encouraging to see students enjoying the facilities," she said. •'They play chess, cards, play the piano, read, and study.”
On-the-hour surveys yesterday revealed about 25 per cent playing bridge. 40 per cent studying. 25 per cent reading, and 10 per cent lounging.
TACTICS EXPLAINED Gambling is very difficult to detect because scores can be kept on paper and payoffs are private.
Local police report that gambling victims rarely report their losses for fear of losing face. For this reason, the extent of the problem here is impossible to determine

self as George's “oldest and best friend," said she would like to have complete charge of feeding him.
NEEDS DIET CHANGE
“I have been taking care of him tor five years, and I can see that | his food isn't agreeing with him," she said.
Wells DeLoach, president of the Knights, who have charge of George, reported that his food comes from the Student Union cafeteria.
“I haven’t checked the exact number of calories he gets a day,
but I think it's good food,” he
said.
Mrs. Shriber is the only person not connected with the university who knows the combination to George s kennel, DeLoach said. “She takes him for walks and lets him sleep in her house on bad nights.” CHEAP TO FEED According to Mrs. Shriber, she can feed George for $7.50 a month.
DeLoach would not comment on her suggestion. “I’m not sure how much it costs us to feed George,” i he said. “I'll check up on the quality of his food.”
Complaming that George isn’t getting enough exercise. Mrs. Shriber suggested that Bovard field be completely enclosed so she can go ever evenings and weekends and sit there while he exercises.
“George just doesn't belong on a leash,” she said.
Mrs. Shriber, who has a volum-
inous scrapbook on George and his doings, said that “although he comes into my house like a bomb, I think he’s a grand, smart dog.” DeLoach said that she is one of the few persons who has any control over the dog.
When Mrs. Shriber moved into the neighborhood five years ago, George was just a wandering mutt, unaware that his star was soon to rise and burn brightly.
FRIENDSHIP BLOSSOMS “At first George was aloof toward me. and belligerent toward my little dog. Pal. I began to feed him and we became good friends.”
She said she presented him with his given name.
“I noticed from the beginning that he was quite a rounder. He reminded me of an acquaintance in that respect who's name was George, so that's what I called Tirebiter.”
