Slater Syste In Gamecoc By JUDI BOLAND Staff Writer C o m p 1 a i n t s, complaints, complaints . . . and very little praise for Slater Food Service came from students in a Gamecock poll this week. E x p r e s s i o n s of dissatisfac tion ranged from a forceful "It's the lousiest food in the world" to a mild "For the price you pay, they should give you a bigger and better selection." Major complaints were high prices, lack of variety and poor quality. On the other hand, one contented coed said, "Any board plan that serves a few thousand students a (lay is bound to have a few prob lems, but I think Slater food is quite good with a nice variety." However, comments like this are seldom heard. The best a few could offer were "I really didn't expect much b e t t e r," or "It's okay, I guess," or "I'm not gaining any weight, so I can't complain!" Many freshmen seem to think that they made a mistake taking the board plan. One angry frosh saidl, "I have yet to go through the line without having to pay extra JO] MARC Senator.

The endorsees were introduced later that night to the student body at a drop-in on the Russell House patio. The only campus-wide candidate endorsed was Sally Zalkin, for senator at large. Other endorsees in non-fresh man races included Mary Laura Jones, Leonora Price, and Bar bara Weintraub for senator from Capstone House; Fred Magner for senator from L, K, M, N; and Barry Koplen for senator from the Law School. The freshman candidates en dorsed for class offices include Richaird Hines for president, Bar bara Boyant for vice president and Donna Smith for treasurer. The candidates for freshman Senate seats include Jim Bradford from H and J; Stephanie Wood from South; Barbara Boyant, at large; Mac McLeod, Mary Byrd, and Scotty Barnes for town seats. The party, formed last spring, endorsed candidates in spring elec tions. Over three-fourths of the endorsees were elected. The platform includes 1 o w e r book costs, election reform, better apportionment of the Senate and better library service. m Food Ra k Student ( -I feel I'm getting cheated every time!" Apparently more and more stu dents are buying coupon books or using cash so they aren't forced tc eat on campus all the time. One coed, when asked about Slater, ad mitted that she hasn't eaten on campus except on rare occasions in two years that she has been here. "Any food in town is better than that stuff they serve!" she said. Another angry student suggested a campus-wide strike to demand a better food service.

And "Reagan '68," e h a n t e d loudly and regularly by a group of teens near the stage prompted the visiting governor to remark, "Please. You're going to make the next press conference tough"r thi ever." Reagan drew a warm response from the thousands at Township even occasionally from the press table which sat staunchly through most of the pre-speech screams and whistles. In fact, about the only thing that didn't go off as scheduled was a net of balloons which refused to erupt over the audience despite repeated coaxings from those tug ging mightily at the strings. The governor told his audience, which he terimed a "Republican p a r t y love-in," that escalation must be a prime concern in the Vietnam War. Reagan leveled b I a s t s at the Lyndon Johnson administration on almost all frcnts -- domestic, eco nomic and foreign. lie emphasiz.ed a Creative So ciety which, he said, is now at work in California where people voluntarily perform functions pre viously the role of government agencies.

Managing Editor Tired of circling the block 16 times, parking five blocks from class, rushing in late, and return ing to find a parking ticket on your car? Vice President of Business Af fairs Harold Brunton may have the answer. "We are urging a return on campus of foot traffic and bicycle traffic," Brunton said in a Game cock interview last week. Looking for a solution to the present parking problem, Brunton came to the conclusion that Caro Response ownship to you an amateur"-and com pared Reagan to George Washing ton as another amateur on the political scene. The former actor acknowledged his new appearance in the politi cal realm with, "I felt like an Egyptian tank driver with a set -;f Russian ins'ructions" when tak ing over the governmental reins in California. Attack ! S e v e r a l non-1niversity men were arrested in connection with recent attacks on four Carolina students. They were released, how ever, because none of the victims could give positive identification. Detective Sgt. Grover H. Lynch of the USC police said campus patrolmen have been instructed to be on the lookout for non-Univer sity students roaming the campus, and anyone without a valid reason for being on the campus after 10 p.m. should be arrested. Concerning rumors that a girl had been a t t a c k e d, Lynch said there had been no assault or at tempted assault. According to Lynch, steps are h-ing taken to improve poor light ing in several areas. Some of the ;h Fello Tlhe~ fellowshi ps, offered by the D a nforthI Foundlat ion of St. L ou is, .\o ., are open to men andl womien who are seniors or recent gradl uates of accred ited colleges in the U.

"I would welcome a hicycle park ing problem at USC," the vice president said. "The administra tion would cooperate by buying bicycle racks and making the paths wider." Brunton's theory is that a pedes trian-motor vehicle conflict exists. "Every pedestrian thinks e v e r y driver is a fanatic," he said, "and every driver thinks every pedes trian is stupid." His answer: "Get them a w a y from each other." He proposes viaducts and cause ways limited just to walking stu dents and bi c y c les. "Rather than worry about mov ing the cars, we'll move the people. We would park cars in hulk areas far from campus and a r r a n g e some type of mass transportation hack and forth. "On campus we would discour age students from using cars." In Brunton's opinion, Columbia and the University are just now on the verge of crisis. "But you can still park within five blocks . . . so we're not there vet." Buying land in Columbia is still more reasonable than building a parking garage, Brunton said. He suggested issuing a $5 "hunting lic-nse" for parking in various University lots. uspects worst spots, he said, are from Col lege St. to Capstone, the 80(r block of Pickens St. and around U:niver sity Terrace. Lynch said that work must Ie done on these areas to provide even the minimum amount of light a pedestrian needs to walk the cam pus safely. He continued, "I feel that if something is not clone, we could have trouble in the future." The sergeant said he feels the situation is well in hand. "Al though the crime rate is up 12 per cent in metropolitan Columbia," he said, "we probably have the lowest crime rate of any college in the southeast in proportion to the number of people we have." )ne reason for this, he said, is the rolation between the students and the University police.
