"I think that these people de serve top-rate education and these books will help rebuild their coun try and their educations," said Warren Chick, chairman of the international committee of the Uni. versity Union's book drive for the Biafra library for destitute chil dren. "Consider what this c a m p u s would be without books and the parallel case with the desires and the rights of a democratic educa tion should well demonstrate it self," he added. "Especially preferred are 12th Grade and College level textbooks of all kinds, especially in the pure and applied sciences and business; encyclopedias, journals, magazines and newspapers, especially in the sciences, technology and business," continued V i c k i Eslinger, presi dent-elect of the University Union. Those who wish to donate books may leave them in the University Union committee office in t h e Russell House. Consultants Suggest Libr By IDA NELSON Staff Writer Two library consultants from the University of Michigan v i s i t e d USC last Wednesday to evaluate our present library facilities and make suggestions as to possible future improvements. Dr. Robert H. Muller, associate director of libraries and Mrs. Con nie Dunlap, director of the grad uate library were h osate d by J. Mitchell Reames, associate director for Reader Services here at Caro lina and Dr. William H. Patterson, University Provost.

Witten, vice pres. r considering budget prospects If the proposed budget stands Witten said, Carolina will only ge1 some 55 per cent of its loan requesi -about $240,000 short of its need Renewal applications will be giv en priority, he said. Programs affected include Edu cational Opportunity Grants, Na tional Defense S t u d e n t Loan. (NDSL), and Work-Study Grants University - sponsored scholarship, and loans are not affected. In addition, since the prime in terest rate has been raised to 7% per cent, banks may be tighter with loans u n d e r the federally backed Guaranteed Loan Program, Witten explained. This could fur ther cut the number of loans avail. able to students. This year, according to Witten's figures, approximately 350 USC students get Educational Oppor tunity Grants, 700 National De fense Student Loans, and 400 par ticipate in work-study programs. Some 500 are under the Guaran. teed Loan Program. Witten said dissatisfied students could write their congressmen to complain about the loan-fund cut. backs. He also pointed out that federal law now prohibits giving federal Health, Education and W e I f a r c funds to students convicted of us ing or helping use "force, trespass, or the seizure of property under control of an institution of higher education to prevent officials or students at s u c h an institution from engaging in their duties or pursuing their studies." Witten said no USC student has lost funds for such a conviction. Visit USC, ary Changes According to Patterson t h e r e were several suggestions the most significant being the construction of a new university library located west of McKissick. The new library would become essentially an extension of McKis sick and serve primarily as a hu manities and social science library. The Undergraduate Librdry would be converted into a more special ized science library.

Montoya has been ace Opinions Widely B) Eighth in a series on religion and the canpus. By JAN SURRATT Staff Writer Some USC students couldn't care less about religion. Others see it as vital in their personal lives. Opinions ranging between bothI poles were voiced by students in recent interviews. Some are saying religion is old fashioned or not up with the times, as a Catholic c o e d who stated, "Most religions are focused on the wrong aspects and situations of this age. Social problems and per son-to-person relationships should be considered as well as person-to established-church relationships." Senior Greg Smith said, "Reli gion is more concerned with con. demning than solving man's prob lems." A Baptist student agreed, "Religion doesn't really confront modern issues in their proper con text." Advertising major R. Byars feels "Churches are allowed to influence state progress (open bars, betting) and d i c t a t e what is right and wrong." He sai(d these decisions are not left up to one's ow~n conscience. A Lutheran student pointed out that while religion is generally "in tune" wvith the interests of college students, "T hi e surface features have caused concern for many."

An education m a j o r said, "I think religion is doing a much bet ter job today in answering the needs of young people than ever before, although improvement is still needed." "What one puts into religion is what one will get out of religion and this is where satisfaction is found," said a Catholic coed. David P r o c t o r, Episcopalian, said "The basic set-up of religion today is old-fashioned, but a good message in a sermon can overcome these fallacies." A Baptist student agreed that the effectiveness of re ligion depends on how it is pre sented-"It is a question of indi vidual churches and ministers."

"The problem is that religion isn't given the study and enthusi asm it should," he said, "college religion courses help a great deal." Another student said t h a t the study of theology is "more grati. fying" than "the average, garden variety church service." Students' attitudes toward reli. gion vary widely as the interviews indicated, but it seems most stu dents do have opinios-many of them strong opinions. Some students are pointing out the need for religious institutions to wake up to the times; others feel that it's the student who needs to wake up to religion, that reli. gion is wholly adequate for them and meaningful to their lives. Still others stress a personal religion independent of c h u r c h organiza tion. gn TIME SUNit-THUR. 11:30-1:45 FRIDAY 11:30-1:45-5:30-7:30 FERENT . ..

This means that it isn't that enjoyable, unless you dote on that sort of movie, and then it is only s u i t a b I e. Supposedly it is science-fiction, but succeeds only at being bizarre and somewhat con trived. There is no luster. This is a shame, because TiH ILLUSTRATED MAN could have been top-notch. It stars Rod Steiger, a most splendid a c t o r, and it is adapted from the novel by Ray Bradbury, who is perhaps the best contemporary science-fiction writ er. The story, I guess you could call it that, involves a shiftless character (Steiger) whose body is covered with "skin illustrations" (not tattoos we are told but we never learn the difference, or why it is so significant). Making camp with a younger fellow vagabond whom he inflicts upon himself, Steiger venomously dictates to the lad not to stare at the skin illustrations too long or they will begin to move and crawl over the skin and reveal the future, even how one is going to die. Think how intriguing that could he: skin pictures that come alive! Too bad the movie doesn't. The only sensation that director Jack Smight smites us with is the tedium of t i e illustrated man's desperate and plodding search for the evil woman who decorated his body in the first place and whom he wants to kill in payment.

This bothersome format, how. ever, is interrupted by visions far into the realm of the future, ac tivated by the mysterious skin pic. tures as they begin to do their thing. Unfortunately, all the fu. ture has in store is trite and bor. ing melodrama which serves only to confuse the viewer who tries to see any correlation between the stories an(l characterizations of the present and those of the future. Tliere are some flashbacks, but they make sense. The photography in Tim ILLUS. THAT:n MAN, to put it Simple, is pretty crummy. The screen is al. ways dull and drab, totally lacking in the contrast and crispness that it cries for. Even the sex-ploitation scenes are practically undiscern. able, and for lollywood that is an inconceivable flaw. Rod 'Steiger's acting, I suspect is good, although it is hard to tell this when the role itself is so bad, and the performance comes as a 1elief rather than ais a perfor-n ance.
