Letters Hill TO THE EDITOR: To my surprise, the day has come when I feel compelled to speak out against Steve Hill and those who pull his strings. I was a cabinet member under two former SGA presidents and, to my discredit, helped get Steve Hill elected. Hill sat around all summer complaining about the volume ,of work and lack of help, while Hairstyles for y OYER 10 Men's Wash Jekets to m= Needed Sw; Zip Fromt & I * * eolers * Men's Flamme * Assorted P1.l * Tennis Shoes * Converse-mAdi * Choese from o * Visit our ALL NI a, * 1113 Lady * Beik Charge- i .samkA. to the e ignoring at least two experienced people who were readily available and willing to work. He refused to delegate any responsibility because God forbid that someone might know more than he did. I hate to see what is happening: Hill's competence sinking to the level of his inefficiency. Look at his cabinet--none of them have been ratified by the Powers and Responsibilities Committee of the Student Senate.

Other irresponsible actions on Hill's part include the inanity of presenting a plan to make a dorm coed withoUt backing it up with any research. And the stupidity of the fence down the middle of the proposed Green Street median defies description. It saddens me to see an in stitution into which I put the better part of three years, lose what credibility it has left, merely because one person is so self centered and incompetent.

Cries of Remember Pickens Street keep filling the temperate climate of our southern university. Access to the center of the campus is necessary: closing the street would be senseless. Instead of closing Green Street, I suggest widening Green Street. I know I may give presence to some devoted Carolina en vironmentalists of suffering from dementia and bring on palpitations to the more weak-hearted of same but consider my ideas. The center of the campus around the Russell House has grown more and more bland with the passage of time. The time has long since come and gone when an imaginative con tractor stepped in to create a gathering center for our school. Imagine Green Street as a river with bridges and promenades crossing and flanking the stream of traffic--perhaps done up in the tradition of the Cambridge backs.

Carolina has a chance to show the academic society that it is one university which refuses to be a facsimile of the other com mercialistic teaching institutions. I shall await the results with much concern and will be hopingk for an enduring and endearing solution. May we all be the better for whatever transpires. CHARLES W. JORDAN Tackie TO THE EDITOR: I am writing in response to the article of th e September 11th Gamecock en titled "Helpful criticism offered of tackie's night out." The authors of the article claim that how far a person goes depends upon the clothes one wears. The authors took it upon themselves to degrade the people who choose to wear glitter shirts, satin pants and platform shoes. Well undoubtedly the people wearing the high fashions mentioned above will not go far according to the authors. I am certainly glad to know that these self-appointed fashion consultants have discreetly decided that jeans and sandals are the choice accessories to wear. I'll just rest better when I know that every time I go out I will be at least partially tacky. ALAN BUTCHER Law students TO THE EDITOR: The recent decision by the USC Board of Trustees to waive en trance requirements for some students is one of the most in telligent things this austere board has done in months. This decision supercedes, in intelligence, the seven per cent ruling of this past January. Chairman T. Eston Marchant is quite correct in stating he "felt no political pressure." Why would anyone assume political pressure because two of the students in volved have parents in politics? Anyone could walk in off the street and have the Board of Trustees meet them, and once having met them, persuade the Board to waive little things like entrance requiements. After all, this is America. As a law student myself, it does not bother me the school may lose its accreditation-after all, there are too many lawyers already and everyone knows they are a "dime a dozen." So this class of 300 would probably just: inflate the unemployment rolls and cost the state added money in the long run. Even though I, among others, was naive enough to believe that I should maintain a respectable GPR, and score well on the LJSAT, it is my fault for being concerned with these mundane matters. I failed to realize the important thing was that we assure the right of all non-qualified applicants to be admitted. Of course, in extension of these rights, if these students fail again, the board must be reconvened and Issue them passing grades. This is only fair. As the saying goes, "See you at the nolls'.'
