The truth pays
A recent TV and newspaper ad by the National
institute of Mental Health depicted a
depreciated 'speed freak.
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.

looked at the matter in the idea of
using what we have in our present

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.

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
