The picture's caption read, "Happy 21st Birth day, Johnny." The ad states this apparent physical wreck started on speed pills and went on to shooting meth. The punchline is "Most people take him for about 35." "Johnny is in reality nearer 35 than 21.

Save Charleston Progress may win again, but not if a group of determined Charlestonians have something to do with it. The State Highway Department, a lot of James island suburbanites and many downtown merchants in Charleston are backing a huge new bridge over the Ashley River into the city. The bridge would route some 19,000 vehicles a day along a pair of one-way streets, Beaufain and Wentworth streets. The area is officially recognized as being within the old and historic district of the 300-year old city. Proponents argue that the bridge with that terminus is necessary for the burgeoning suburbs and congested downtown area. They claim not a house will have to be destroyed in the neighborhood. Opponents claim that the volume of traffic itself is enough to destroy the "toute ensemble" or total environment of the neigh borhood. The bridge offers no solution to Charleston's problems, they argue, because narrow downtown streets - many one-way - and Inadequate parking spaces can not handle the traffic the bridge would generate. They have one more thing on their side: Charleston's probably unique private restoration efforts. Thc Historic Charleston Foundation, a private development group, that has over the last decade purchased a number of once magnificant dwellings - many of them in areas that had become slums - and resold them at low cost to families have restored them as private residences. Rather than destroy this process, the proposal of a rapid transit system geared to meet Charleston's needs for tomorrow would be much better. Charleston - in many ways a city retaining the past - could be a leader among cities of its size in restricting the growth of the gasoline fume-belching monsters of Detroit. Charleston's historic old neighborhoods are a unique asset for the state and nation. Preserving one of them is a fitting project for South Carolina in its Tricentennial Year. it beautiful te air !

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen, this is your on-the scene reporter Dick Hashbrain with a special report from the University of South Carolina campus where two intruders have just been shot by the SS, the campus Security Squad. We have with us Leftenant Heinman. Could you please tell us what happened, sir?" "Surely I can, sonny. We caught 'em crawling over the wall and we shot 'em, just like we wuz told ta." "You're referring to the new eight-foot wall around the campus which was recently completed, sir?" "You be right there, sonny." "Exactly why do you shoot people trying to scale the wall?" "Well, it's a matter of expense. If we wait till they hit the minefield, they cause a lot of damage that we have to fix later, so we just shoot 'em out here if they aren't card-carrying students."

Then I attended the 1970 meeting of the National Association of College and University Resident Halls to gain the counsel of experts in the area of coed housing. My bill was patterned after their recommendations which were based on the physical aspects of the building involved. So then I proposed a concrete bill, this was because the ad ministration keeps saying they want solid proposals not just ideas. Also the quickest my bill could be put into effect would be in 1972 not next year as some people had been lead to believe.

Vho should nter room? ear Mr. Wannamaker: Last Saturday morning I was wakened to the sound of my door eing unlocked. At first, I did not hink anything of it because I bought it was my roommate going ut, but I was wrong. Not one inute after I heard the door open nd close I glanced over at my oommate's bed and saw him ound asleep. I immediately got up nd looked out the door, but no one ras there. I told my roommate what had lappened when he woke up and he ot mad just like I had. Later that ifternoon he happened to run into ur hall counselor and told him vhat had happened. The hall ounselor knew nothing about it. This incident reminded me of omething of the same sort whici iappened to a friend of mine last veek. My friend, upon returning to is room, was informed by his eighbor that two men had inlocked his door, gone into his oom and then walked out. Now I want to raise the question; Who has the right to enter a tudent's room? A student's room supposed to be a home away -om home, yet it seems like nyone can gain entrance to it. teps should be taken to assure the udent ' that when he locks his mor that he can feel safe.
