Th6 decision to restrict outsiders from using the Russell
House is another step backward for Carolina.

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.
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.

Dear Mr. Wannamaker:
"The Coliseum with all of its
functions is a part of the University
just as much as anything else."
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."

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. Surely the
many scholastic, professional,
educational, and other
organizations on campus afford an
abundant sounce of material for a

Editor's note: Our secretary
with whom Mr. Stokes spoke says
she said, "AWARE and SDS seem
to be doing more on campus than
anyone else." She added that she
thought the paper has a liberal

Wednesday afternoon.
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. I hope these boys
will see this letter.

-Peace?
"I am for peace, Pat. It is just
my simple duty. Others may
differ, but I think it is just my duty
to be for peace."
"I am glad you are just for
peace, Dick."
"I am not just for peace, Pat. I
am for a just peace."
"I am just glad you are just for a
just peace, Dick. Is it just around
the corner?"
"Let me say this, Pat. Let me
say this about that. A just peace is
n9t just around any corner. A just
peace is around a just corner. Let
us not say that peace is just around
the corner. Let us say that peace is
around the just corner. That is my
judgement on this. This is also my
judgment on that."
"Oh, Dick, will we turn the just
corner?"
"We just must, Pat. Or the most
terrible thing of all will happen. We
just must turn the corner."
"By when, Dick?"
"By 1971, Pat."
"Do you have hope, Dick?"
"Yes, Pat, I hope. I hope I've
made myself perfectly clear."
See Pat. See Pat frown. Pat
wants to help. Pat wants to help
Dick. See Pat smile. Pat has an
idea.
"I will help you, Dick. I will help
you make one thing perfectly
clear."
See Dick. See Dick pick up the
poker. Dick is going to strike, a
blow. Dick is going to strike a blow
for peace. See Pat. See Pat run.
Run, Pat, run.
