The plan currently being promoted would relieve state funds from the project by increasing ticket prices, charging students $4.50 per semester, and soliciting private contributions. What many students and faculty members are finding questionable is the $4.50 per semester assessment on students. While some persons feel students shouldn't be saddled with such payments, more persons are upset that students weren't consulted before the fee increase was proposed. They recall that students at present are paying an extra $5 per year for the Coliseum bond issue, and for this they were not con sulted either. Letter Short-sig Dear Mr. Wannamaker: The legislature of this state, the attitude of certain officials of this University on the subject of athletics and Jayne Mansfield all have one common characteristic.. at some time during their history they have been grotesquely malapportioned. The University is dedicated to the development of the whole man, but of a man whose members are proportionate, one to the other. To emphasize, indeed, to overexaggerate the importance of the athletic serves only to effect atr-ophy of the other parts. The so-called high and noble pursuits of truth, art, culture, music, architecture and the world of ideas--among others--are left to lend for themselves as the legislature under the guise of "capital improvement," increases student fees $9 per year and im poses an additional S.75 per seat tax to pay for an addition to the football stadium--fees payable by virtually all students but seats alloted to only 6.1000 to 7,000) More disquieting is the fact that a disproportionate share of the energy and abilities of our ad ministrative educators was devoted to this undertaking: better that such efforts had been re Monster Burger Coi Monst'ously good Monster Burgi Crisp French Fries . . .

They feel a student referendum should be held to sample student feeling. At present students pay the $5 Coliseum fee. But if the $9 per year stadium fee is approved, it would only cover one-fourth of the stadium project. It is therefore conceivable that the fee could rise to $36 a year by the time the entire stadium project is funded. This would have students paying more than $40 for athletic facilities many of them never use. There are strong arguments, of course, for students' bearing a share of the costs. There are also arguments against transfering such costs from the state to the student. What is generally ob jectionable, however, is that all the maneuvering and cost-shuffling is being done without student voice. ited' state directed and that capital im provements assessments had been used to benefit the entire University, of which, of course, athletics--and academies--is a part. Attempts to build the reputation of a University on the merits of its athletic teams alone, while allowing the remainder of the components to exert themselves mightily just to stay in place, are symptomatic of that rather well known malady commonly called, "I can't see beyond the end of my nose. Those afflicted are obviously unwilling to take curative measures, and the condition of "perpetuating mediocrity" in all areas but the athletic seems chronic. Unless a re-evaluation of efforts and results of education in this University is made, necessitating a forthright stand by those for merly and presently unwilling to undertake such a task, the prognosis for education responsive to the needs and, indeed, to the wants of the people of this state is not promising. The need is for a University well developed in all its parts. Af ter all, Jayne Mansfield structured as she was, could also sink.

He keeps saying, "A bill is a bill and must be paid!" I suppose the black militants feel much the same way. The Government, however, has one great advantage: the highest desire of most citizens is to be benignly by the Government. The only time the Government takes a personal interest in us is to send us a draft notice, a tax bill or jury summons. The Government, let's face it, is bad news. So all we need do is convince the militants of the advantages of being benignly neglected. In turn they will perhaps benignly neglect to burn down our cities. Perhaps. Of course, under the principles of racial equality, I demand that the Government benignly neglect me, too. To do my part, I have decided to benignly neglect it. I am sure it will continue to make progress without me. Please inform the Commissioner of Internal Revenue of our agreement before April 15. And do give him my most heartfelt and benign good wishes.

C. e Points 'ASTA 00 'Past slh -bear Mr. Wannamakr: Under normal conditions, tht guest column which appeared or this page ("Kirk 'not relevant"', would not, because of its manifesi shallowness, merit response. Bul in view of Dr. Kirk's energetic contribution to our campus during the two days he visited here, I think, in recognition of that, a reply is in order. Jerry Calabrese's remark that Dr. Russell Kirk's mind "belongs to the past" was pregnant with an irony that was not only unintended, but the implications of which Calabrese almost certainly would fail to understand. The irony is that the observation was conceived by its author to be abusive, or at the least un complimentary--while Dr. Kirk would be flattered. And Mr. Calabrese would fail to understand because he is apparently vic timized by a myopia of un derstanding that is blind to the realization that no mind worthy of respect can avoid "belonging to the past"--which is the primary functional approach to an un derstanding of the present. Russell Kirk understands, as Calabrese does not, that one of civilization's greatest enemies is t the social reformer who fails to understand society and the nature of man--exactly as dangerous in fact as ths surgeon who fails to understand anatomy and the vital functions of life... Thus it is, for example, that Calabrese fails to follow Kirk's point with reference to the Lamar incident, which is that there are outer limits to that which can be accomplished by positive law, and that ignorance of those limits on behalf of policy-makers can indeed encourage violent disruption. Such an observation can only be made HELP The Gamecock The circulation department of The Gamecock needs people to work Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons starting at 12 for about two hours.

So it is that Calabrese's mind, and the school of no-think that he apparently has chosen to cham pion, belong neither to the past nor the present--rather to a kind of perennial mindlessness against which the more perceptive men of every age have had to struggle in order to insure a suture.
