e makes S vory tower Th6 decision to restrict outsiders from using the Russell House is another step backward for Carolina. it's time we recognize that closing off the campus does nothIhg to keep out "undesirable" influences. Instead, it dmis use of public property to persons who have a valid Interest in the University and who can benefit from its The new rule, for example, could prohibit a high school en1r from visiting the Gamecock room on a private tour of campus. If could rule out visits by servicemen, who find Russell House one of the few places to meet people and find companionship. It will 'not, as it's supporters imply, eliminate the problem of drug pushing or of pesky children. It will, in fact, do little worthwhile at all. What it will do is to further isolate Carolina from the surrounding community, further seal our students from outside ideas and influences. And it will give the University an excuse to selectively use this rule against persons It fears or objects to for political reasons. Using the University Union for such political maneuvers is degrading. We wish the board of governors would reconsider this hasty and ill-conceived move. It's time Carolina became more open, not more closed. Sleep tight tonight Sleep tight tonight. University President Thomas F. Jones is working to see that you aren't exposed to liquor ads. Heavens, no. Par ticularily not in The Gamecock. Particularily not here. A while back the Board of Student Publications and Communications (Jones' advisory board over us) amended its statement of principles to delete any specific restrictions on advertising in the newspaper. The deletion would permit the paper to accept beer ads and even liquor ads. We were told by Vice President for Student Affairs Charles Witten that Jones had okayed the deletion. We took his word. Now we are told that the written recommendations never got to Jones. He approved beer ads only. Through the breakdown in the bureaucracy, he never knew that it involved liquor. That should be studied - probably by several committees and over at least a semester, he implied. Somehow, we find it ridiculous that he thinks it is dangerous for students to read the same liquor ads in The Gamecock that they read in the State or in national magazines. Many of the students here are over 21, and tender years don't stop others from drinking. Is it really the business of the administration to say what goods may be advertised in The Gamecock and what ones may not? We think not. Does forbiding one company to advertise their brand at the expense of some other that students drink now tran sform th'e"students into good) dry Baptists? We think not.

This -is a quote from Mr. Lee Herbert in the March 2 issue of The Gamecock. My question is, is it really? As a member of the University Union Concert Committee, I realize that the Committee pays over $13,000 a year to the Coliseum for its rental alone; not to mention the $.25 seat tax that must be paid to the Coliseum for each ticket sold at a concert or a basketball game. I might add that Clemson, whose coliseum opened at the same time as ours, pays no seat tax. The seat tax for each concert put on by the Concert Committee amounts to approximately $2,000. Do the students also know that they pay $2.50 per semester for the Coliseum whether they use it or not. Mr. Herbert said that the University Un-*n has absolute precedence on Coliseum booking. Why then, was there a three month span this year where no open dates were available for the Concert Committee? However, during this time several groups appeared at the Coliiseln, presented by private imp-age what they do to you when you don't meet the contract." "But we have to get to classes." "Yep, suppose so. Couldn't you get a schedule or something?" "I know when my classes are." "No I mean the train. Like stay on campus before the train comes." "That's really wild." "Well, I really can't help you. I got ta get ta work. No work, no $5.00 an hour." "Yep, 'bout time for a raise." "Say, do you need any help." "Well, we did finish that third girder two weeks soon. Maybe we oughta tear it out and put in another. We could probably use "Okay, you sit here and wait - we'll run over and get some work clothes. If we work here till July, we'll be able to retire." \d WRKIlORE - STFF RT EDtfot.. $IM$E L:. 4 U?niversity Daily. Texas Tech, Lubbock.

Lei iseum i promoters. The priority it seems was given to the private promoters. I feel some changes have to be made. If there were no seat tax and rental on the Coliseum the Student Union could present more concerts at a lower cost to the students. This is almost impossible now when $4,000 of the profit made on each concert goes to the Coliseum. It is up to the student body to bring these changes about because the Coliseum with all of its func tions is a part of the University just as much as everything else. Or is it? ROBERT E. MITCHELL Needs balance Dear Mr. Wannamaker: As agraduate of the University (my BA and LLB Degrees), I regularly read The Gamecock because I am vitally interested in the activities of the school and its educational process. What I want to know is, why does The Gamecock devote so much of its prime space to the activities and views of such organizations as SDS, UFO and AWARE. I think that the news and opinions presented should be more balanced in conter%t and space. . After all, the student newspaper represents an educational in stitution and should look in all directions for the truth. I was recently in The Gamecock office on other business and asked a nice young lady on the staff about this and she stated, "Oh, it's hard to find other news around here, and this is a liberal newspaper." In the name of education, I do not believe your newspaper should present a "liberal," "con servative," or any other slanted approach to the news.

At 4:30 p.m. when I had car trouble at Columbia Hall, it was raining but that didn't slow them down from helping me. Some wires on my car had a shortage and if it had not been for these wonderful boys there's no telling what would have happened. In my conclusion I would like for every one to know we at USC have some of the nicest students of any place I know of. And they are always ready and willing to lend a helping hand.
