Dear Mr. Stepp:
As the chairman of the Film!
Committee of the University Unioi
last year, I feel it is my duty t4
bring to your attention the policie:

of Carolina.
Last year a poll was made at the
nformation desk of the films thai
students wanted to see, films that
we can get now! The top films
were: "A Man For All Seasons,'
"Endless Summer," "Alfie," "A
Man And A Woman," "Blow-Up.'
Where are these films now?
Where are the films that we voted
for? Where are the 35mm movies
that the committee voted for last
year? All of the local theatres are
35mm, the Citadel has 35mm,
Winthrop has 35mm, 150 colleges
have 35mm in this country. But
where are USC's?
Last year more students saw
films in the Russell House than the
number of people (both student
and non-student) that went to all
the dances and concerts combined.
Over 25,000 people can't be wrong.
But this year I ask several
questions: Where is the renovated
Assembly Room promised over
two years ago? Why has the
National Entertainment Con
ference brushed films away and
hindered inter-school exchanges of
information? Where are their
promises of last years National
Convention?
Did the administration overlook
the $10,000 being wasted on poor
quality 16mm films we show now?
Did the local theatres protest
students picking and showing their
own choice of films? Or did
someone not want to risk the
priviledged position the Celluloid
Society has at a local theatre?
Do the same two students run the
''public'' committee and the
"private" society? Is the president
of one the vice chairman of the
committee? And the former
president of one now the chairman
of the films committee? Do the
Members of the Celluloid Society
pick the films for us? Are the Fine
Film nuts forcing their way on us?
But the big question is -- were
better films sacrificed for the film
making expenses and equipment of
a few students, and ,why?

More money
Dear Mr. Stepp:
Instead of tarring and feathering
students who attended summer
school to raise their class standing,
the athletic department is,
suprisingly, only penalizing them C
money. (But what is money?) i
This penalty is certainly a c
progressive approach for the
athletic department. I have always
suspected that it may have been
"helping" the grades of its people.
I had no idea that it would bend so
low as to penalize students who .
weren't athletes who spend the
summer studying.
As far as I can remember, the
athletic department hasn't thought
of anything this original since they
decided to time their penalty
during registration. Naturally,
after paying several hundred
dollars to USC, we must also pay
for having the initiative to go to
summer school.
One can easily see that this is the
principle that made our country

For the motivated freshman who ar
does his best from the first, and
continues, college days will not
seem as difficult as his
imagination once dictated.
However, unfortunately for
some, this initial release of in
tellectual vim and vitality will soon
subside, and his past achievements
may lend the student
psychologically susceptible to
over-estimating his mental
abilities -- in which case he ceases
to evaluate the necessity of study.
Some may innoculate them
selves from this "failure syn
drome" by heeding the whispers of
encouragement and shouts of
caution.
AED wishes the best of luck to
each and every one of you.

Over the summer Barry Knobel

act quickly if there is to be a

The student senate in the past
has been bogged down by a

it is still too early to pass
