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

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. An illegal cabinet

could be grounds for im
peachment.
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.

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.

who would like to put an end to the
trend of building uninspired and
uninspiring boxes which have
passed for new college structures
the new Williams-Brice buildings,
for example--structures intended
for spurting forth robots, not
learned adults going out to create
their futures.
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.

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'.' NIAmS LEME --
