Thinking green, they filled six of the nine holes with trees. Running out of trees and resorting to a more standard solution. they have this morning (Dec. 16) filled two of these remaining with cement. I wonder who is responsible for causing those holes to be left in the brickwork and what genius thought that plain cement would provide such a stunning eontrast with the bricks. If you've been keeping a tally this leaves us with one more hole to be filled. and this the infamous reflection pool. We are waiting as we have been for one year to see what will happen to it. BOB SCHWARTZ On the bottom Dear Mr. Stepp: Ben Wynn and his Young Americans for Freedom have finally reached the bottom of the gutter in their attempts to destroy The Gamecock and one of Carolina students' most humanitarian causes--the Ridgeville-Four Holes Indian Freedom School Project. Last Friday several New Left tables were set up in the Russell House lobby with the YAF table. Several students from each table gathered behind the YAF "Tell It to Hanoi" table and chanted "Kill for Peace." This was meant as a joke and was done when no other students were in the lobby. However, since I was igthened declining in authority and in fluence. I wish each and everyone of you a very Merry Christmas and I look forward to working for you in the ' coming months. Senate meeting (Continued from page 1) before the Senate to explain Slater's prices and the quality of the food served. The Senate also recalled and passed a bill which provides that Senators should receive a stipends of $50 a semester. In order to receive the stipends, a Senator could not be absent more than twice in a semester. The Senate was forced to ad journ after the nearly three hour session due to a lack of quorum. Vice President Mike Spears struck three more Senators from the Senate roll for excessive absences. They are Sens. Para, Sandy Streeter. and Allen. Sen. Thorton has resigned. .

Doxiadis - one of the world's foremost urban developers - brought a message of hope to the University and Columbia Wednesday.

Greece; Wilbur Smith and Associates of Columbia and Lyles. Bissett. Carlise and Wolf ni Stadium e.xpans Belser wai A plan to cut in half each stage of the expansion of Carolina Stadium was advanced Wednesday by Rep. Heyward Belser, D-Richland, in a letter to University President Thomas F. Jones. Belser is chairman of the judicial committee of the S. C. House of Representatives and a likely candidate for lieutenant governor next year. His son Clinch, is one of the leaders of the law students seeking first priority in any expansion plans for a new law school. Belser received his B. A. and M. A. degrees at the University and his law degree at Yale University. Fifty-seven of his 123 collegues in the House last year received law degrees here and 24 of the 46 state senators. Belser maintained in the letter that his change would provide additional football seating and still allow funds for a new law school. He told Jones that, as chairman of the judicial committee, he felt "it would be extremely unwise" to risk possible loss of accreditation of the law school. Belser said that he had been told by the architect for the project that the stadium expansion could develop in four stages, rather than two by retaining the present seats THE COLLEGE CHRISTMAS CLUB PRESENTS I1T"MUAI SHow Aob DEC. 23 "*3 WALTERBORO ARMORY WALTERBORO, S.C. 5 00 COUPLE s, study I USC, Co Columbia. It cost over $130.000. The study recommended: - Creation of a five-block shopping mall on Main Street to be capped with a city-county governmental complex at the present intersection of Main and Laurel streets. - Moving railroad tracks and one of the superhighways recommended by the Columbia Area Traffic Study into a tran rits plan cut on each side after topping them . with a deck.

Participants came from as far as Australia and Korea tojake part in the three-day "Conference on Divided Nations" sponsored by the USC Institute of International Studies. Dongha Cho. director for in formation and education of the National Unification Board in Korea, came to America especially for this conference. The other three divided coun tries were represented by Nguyen Ngoc Bich of the Vietnamese Embassy. Washington, D. C.: Claus-Jurgen Duisberg of the West German Embassy. Washington: Dr. S. H.

Doxiadis called the study and proposal, "One cure for a small part of an ailing organ." He said that the downtown University is a major asset and that the University and the state and local governments work together and are not in conflict. The message of hope for the University was for the possible salvation of cities in general - "There is no reason at all why we can not build better cities." He emphasized that solutions are possible because the problems have been recognized. He predicted the growth of present cities into the universal city in the next century - "It's inevitable." The continual growth of cities over the centuries is due to man's desire to maximalize his contacts, Doxiadis said. Doxiadis's lecture at the University was sponsored by the Bureau of Urban and Regional Affairs and the University Union Lectures Committee. CU to inv( Twenty-five USC students will be chosen for a program of in dependent study and research during the spring semester. Called Contemporary Univer sity, the program allows the student the freedom to pursue his own interest in an academic manner. The student will be in volved in full-time independent study on a topic of his choice, as an alternative to regular classroom courses. Each student will choose a faculty supervisor. The details of academic credit will be deter mined by the student, his faculty advisor, and his dean. Students may work individually or in teams. He will have funds at his disposal to carry out his research. However, if students work in teams, the funds must be pooled. There will also be the possibility f working with students in similar 3rograms at other universities. Any student above the freshman evel is eligible. Students will be ~hosen primarily on the merits of heir study proposals. Applications h'ould be returned to the Office of Dec. I9 WU SC. room 205.

Gold told the audience that ur ban renewal includes urban redevelopment and is not aimed at the total destruction of cities. He said that certain state and local laws inhibited use of urban redevelopment and cited South arolina's state laws as being "restrictive on the use of federal programs." "Federai Urban Renewal offers considerable latitude in use and accomplishments." he stated. He has been Assistant Director of the National Capital Planning Com mission. He added "great American cities are in the ferment of change. There is more need for urban renewal programs as the size of major cities grows." "We as a nation are becoming increasingly mobile." he said. "600.000 Negroes migrated to northern and western cities last year. As a result. "Northern cities are forced to do what America did in the early part of the 19th century - assimilate people for life in those areas." He maintained that the Negroes in ghetto areas must decide where. and how they are going to live in urban renewal areas. "They should have a voice in the set-up of their new communities." "The demand for improvement is in the aspirations of Negroes themselves." he added. He noted that the purpose of urban renewal was not merely to condemn unfit property, but to promote better public and private use of the renovated property. mded 'ourt of auto breaking were sen enced there to two years of im 3risonment. Their sentences were hen suspended and they were put. >n probation for two years. The discipline~ committee uspended them from the itersity for a year.
