Tumeday, Novebr 5 1968 - Page 2 Columbia, South Carolina A Poor State It is a sad fact that education in this state must an nually come before the inquisition known as the Budget and Control Board. It is sad because education usually comes out on the short end of the deal. This isn't to say that there are not many worthwhile projects in South Carolina. There are probably more deserving projects here than in many places where much more money is being spent on solving them. South Carolina usually attacks statistics tables some where near the lower end, unless it is something like "Most Traffic Deaths Per Mile." There are many places where South Carolina's limited supply of money can be spent for needed improvements because there are many improvements this state needs. The USC budget and the South Carolina budget have met. Their first meeting was cordial, if not a little cool. We have joined a long list of institutions asking for more money. Relations between the two budgets are going to become strained and may turn into a slaughter. All this boils down to a dim prospect for USC in the coming year. Fees have already been raised, but still more money is needed. S. C. State needs more money. Clemson needs more money. It seems that education is built on money and money alone. Unfortunately for our educational system, this is true. Good professors (or any professors at all), decent housing and adequate academic buildings all call for more money. Last year the budget we presented was cut by one quarter. This year we need an even bigger allocation, and the state is already feeling the money pinch. The state's problem is one of priorities. Is education at the top? Should USC receive money instead of another institution? We cannot say the USC should receive its full request while another school's request is cut. But, as Vice President Brunton put it, past cuts were only "buying time, and now we have to pay for it." USC and the whole educational system of South Caro lina are in dire need of more money. Education is the only hope of the state and its high priority must be recognized before South Carolina will ever get off the bottom of the charts. -KROCHMALNY s t possi passed b' Absolutely.

CAROLYN AIIERNETHl NEE] COLUMBIA' INVITES' ITS RATES F FRO I Mile Letters To The E Beer An< Dear Mis Zalkin: "Contrary to popular beliefs, alcohol is not a stimulant but a depressant which attacks and numbs the higher brain centers, thus lessening their inhibiting control. As behavioral restraints decline, more primitive emotional responses appear; the drinker may indulge in the satisfaction of impulses he ordinarily holds in check." The preceding quote from an abnormal psychology text is ap plicable to the "beer legislation" issue. A university is established to further higher learning, and drinking alcoholic beverages is certainly not conducive to achiev ing a higher degree of learning. I certainly agree with Mr. Rollie Waters in the Oct. 18 Gamecock that all those in favor of serving beer in the Golden Spur are neither drunkards nor immoral, and I agree that the Student Senate exhibited a high level of confidence in the student body. But from observing those from the University campus who drink beer and other alcoholic bever ages, I believe this confidence is undeserved. The students have shown their irresponsibility by ignoring the ABC ruling against alcohol in Carolina Stadium; by boating at the Lake Murray Founded Jan. 30. 1908 with Robert Enio cock is published by and for the students < weekly during the college year except durin The opinions exp)ressed herein do not ne tration, the faculty or the student body as a Offices of The Gamecock are in Room 3 campus.

We can't afford to give this minority of USC students % chance to act similarly in the Russell House. It is a man's right to saturate his body with alcohol, if he doesn't impinge upon another's rights In doing so. It is my right not to be associated with places that serve alcoholic beverages and not to associate with those who have drunk an alcoholic bey. erage. Since the Russell House is a congregating place for Univer. sity students, this right not to frequent an establishment that serves alcoholic beverages is ir4. pinged upon since the Russell House is a necessary place for the University student to visit. Lastly, the Russell House, or any other University building for that matter, is visited often by visitors. Serving beer in any USC building could leave no good im. pression on the visitor as to the integrity of the student body. The University is here to ac commodate all, not just the beer drinkers.
