Glancing through a paper, I dare to say that less than 25 per cent of its written portion (ex clusive of advertising) is devoted to a subject directly connected with academics. In the Jan. 7 issue there were 20 articles (in cluding editorials and a letter to the editor) of which only four (and I am counting the exam schedule as an article) dealt with academics. On the other hand, nine of the articles were devoted to the varsity team as were three of the four photographs. I have two points to make in connection with this last fact. First, is this a true reflection of the efforts, interest, and atten tion of the student body? Does the Carolina Community spend approximately 50 per cent of its time on athletics? I think not. Then why is 50 per cent of its newspaper devoted to this sub ject? The emphasis on athletics is even more unjustifiable when one realizes that almost everything that appeared in these sports stories had already appeared in the city's daily newspapers in far greater detail. In other words, it was simply a retelling, rehash ing, and rearranging of some thing t h a t everyone already knew. In short, it had very little news value. Along with my criticism I Sex Is!

With the spac left over I would like to suggest that you write about something that has eal news value to the readers, tomething to which they devote t tremendous amount of time and mnergy, something to which the tdministration and faculty de rote almost all of their time and mergy, but something to which Phe Gamecock is devoting a ninority of its time and energy: icademics. I feel that this shift in em ohasis would not only be more epresentative of the purposes of his institution but also more in eresting than the present trend, or your journalistic e f f o r t s vould produce information that ias real news value to the read r; information that he has not Iready read in The State or The "olumbia Record. For example, I know that my lepartment is spending much ime and effort in choosing 'quipment for a new language aboratory. With luck and enough noney USC just might very soon ave a language laboratory which tilizes color television, the only ne of its kind in this section of he country. I am sure that some esearch on the part of your re orters would reveal interesting levelopments in other depart nents on campus. In conclusion I want to state hat I am not "down and out" on ,thletics. I have attended every ome football game and almost very home basketball game for hree seasons.

Pri orities for registration, besides the special ones for athletes and certain officers on campus, are based on the year a student enters the university. This is sup posedly because, and rightly so, seniors have the greatest need to obtain particular courses in or der to graduate, and then juniors on down to freshmen. This system does not take transfer students into considera tion. Because I entered the Uni versity as a junior in 1968, 1 must wait to register with fresh men having the same last two social security number digits as I do. I maintain that I have as great a need to obtain certain courses as other juniors do. The problem will be even more critical next fall when I must obtain my last Parking Meters Dear Mr. Krochomalny: Although I am a freshman and do not have a car on campus, I feel obligated to offer an excuse for the action taken by the City of Columbia over the Christmas holidays. The city was only acting on the request of the University. Even though Vice President for Busi ness Affairs Harold Brunton did request that the meters be "held in abeyance until the entire mat ter could be explored," it was not the fault of the city or of the city manager's assistant that the meters were planted on Green -nd Sumter streets. Obviously, the assistant city manager was ignorant of the o :ation of Abeyance in South Carolina and had no other choice ut to install the meters. To guardI against such mistakes >y the assistant city manager in ;he future, the University should mnly use words of four letters or ess in all correspondence with -im, or the Russell House might ind itself locatedl on Olive Street.

Yet I will be forced to wait to register with sophomores. This problem could be easily solved by basing priority on the number of hours earned, rather than on the year of entry. Per haps this change could be con sidered before the next registra tion period. TERI ROBINSON Picture Problem* Dear Mr. Krochmalny: Unlike most universities, South Carolina offers only two courses in photography. Furthermore, both of these courses are almost closed to those who are not J* iors in the School of Journalism. This is ridiculous! It seenis that with the large number of students that are in terested in photography there would be more courses offered. If more courses cannot be offered, then why couldn't those that are offered be made more accessible? Even the University of Geor gia has more than six such courses. Surely photography is important enough to merit this small widening of the curriculum. C. W.
