University of South Carolina Libraries
THE GAMECOCKi Carl Stepp Jack Padgett Editor-in-Chief Business Manager Time has come to move ahead The University this week spotlighted a mammoth ex pansion plan which calls for $112 million growth over a five-year period. While there will be bickering about the program, it is clear how vital it is---If Carolina is to maintain and further its excellence in a dynamic world. Turning out adequately educated students is not enough. Carolina must breed superior students, able to take positions of intelligent leadership in all facets of life. Such a mission is impossible without ample facilities. It is impossible to train students in research techniques without a suitable library. Enough law students to meet society's demand can't come from an old, cramped building. Nursing need in South Carolina can't be met with a handful of nurses each year. Books, buildings, dormitories, libraries, parking facilities, administrative offices, a better stadium, all are pressing needs that come at a crucial time in South Carolina. For too long South Carolina has contented itself with being good. It's time to be great. Recent efforts and ex penditures have gone into keeping up; it's time, far past time, to move ahead. There will be arguments about the University's priorities. Should a stadium take priority over academic facilities, some professors have asked. Why should the law school be third or fourth, law students have asked? These questions can be resolved. The crux of the matter is committment: South Carolina must dedicate itself to creating a strong, vigorous, magnificent University. We urge each student to study the proposals, than send his legislator a strong letter of endorsement. We urge Student Government to organize active lobbying com mittee to push for the expansion. We urge alumni to make themselves heard. And we urge the state to provide South Carolinaians with the excellent University that Carolina is yearning to be.. .and ihat this state desperately needs.

If the administration were to let Mr. Bursey return to USC it could conceivably be a trampling of the rights of the ma jority. if his return were to lead to further trouble, as. to judge by the past. seems possible. I cannot see any American stand by arid watch a student peddle Viet Cong flags . . . and I wonder if the Viet Cong appreciate Mr. Bursey's efforts on their behalf.

Before answering this question, it is necessary to define religion, for many people cannot conceive of religion in any but the traditional sense. Paul Tillich gives as his d ?ported I hope students will respond on this (piestion. EDWA.RD i 11. B EA It D)SL.EVN Ass't.

Letters should be sent to The Gamecock, Box U-5131, USC, Columbia. S.C. 29208. - *' I TOR AN IOETW,CNNCIU a eurenm ridual r definition, "That which concerns man ultimately." This would be a completely acceptable answer, except for the fact that there are people who do not know or do not have an ultimate concern. People involved with Universal Life tend to accept the idea that what is of value is not a particular belief, but belief itself. : No boundaries i And within this frame, they learn to understand, tolerate, and respect other men. . . . God, whatever you may conceive him to be . . ," and again we run into the problem of in terpretation. Is God that ultimate that Tillich talks about or is this the sense in which we want to in terpret the word? Terms and definitions such as the above tend to confuse people instead of helping to clarify things. Some persons need a set doctrine to follow. as trained beasts follow the commands and wishes of their masters. But this superficiality has little value, if any, and although the members of the Universal Life Church respect other peoples' ideas and beliefs, it is hard for many to reconcile with' the traditional philosophy of "I was told this as a child, so it must be trie." The idea is to challenge the in dividual's convictions to the point that a traditional dogma will not provide the moral support he needs for his life. The intent is not to say to the individual that he cannot follow a traditional sect. but that we would like for him to decide for himself by the use of reasoning. The stress is on self-reliance. William Ernest Henley says in his poem "Invictus': I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. And this is precisely what most people in Universal Life think to be the hest position that the in dividutal can take, a self-contained moral base. Some may consider our church VVI le - I UNLIn At Pratt & Whitney Aircraft "ceiling ani is not lust an expression. For example, parent corporation joined P&WA only t ing an engineering degree.

AlrCraft DIIIO 0 0 4hgion as a back-lash pressuring tMe traditional churches. But this is not the intent. If traditional churches get to feel the pressure and lose ground secularly and regularly, it would be due to their own inadequacies to cope with the problems of man. Another matter that should be considered is the idea of the realm of religion, and how it reflects upon the individual. First it must be uinderstood that the idea of in dividual values gives way to the concept that we are ministers. No one has a monopoly on the subject of morals and ethics; therefore, no one has a ministerial privilege. One must be the captain of his soul. and act according to this. Due to this fact the realm of religion cannot be limited, for what some think of as being outside the realm of religion, others may believe belongs definitely inside. It is not hard for those that do nC understand to classify Universal Life as a philosophical association, but vet this is not true because our concern is in a sense ultimate, and encompasses everything. We are interested in the person's own values, as well as in the problems that face all men. No church is a church if its purpose is not secular. Separation of different things in categories, and the outlawing of somethings as not pertaining to the concerns of the church is im possible for everything is in ac cordance to degrees of values, and religion is the one thing that en compasses everything and every vahie.
