Renowned architect, Famous architect Ed ward D. Stone, a consultantl on the design of the University of South' Carolina's $10 million library building, points out a characteristic of the library model. Library described as great World renowned architect, Edward D. Stone, has described 3 the design of the University's proposed $10 million library as "great" and "elegant." Stone, associate architect for the Thomas Cooper Library, is a consultant in the architectural planning of the Cooper Library extension. USC Provost William H. Pat terson and Vice President for Business Affairs Harold Brunton visited Stone in New York City last week, where the famous architect studied the model of the new library. Louis M. Wolff of the firm of Lyles, Bissett, Carlisle, and Wolff also met with Stone to discuss the model. Brunton said Stone predicted that the new structure will be one of the most attractive libraries of its size ever built. EM 4 the ripoff"On Concert. concerts. Rock cmcwts area very nice thng,Nudly. Tbey Are nice when everybody goes away happy th group, the promoter, and the patrons. They are not so nice when or all of the above mentioned partes goes away unhappy. The Grand Funk Railroad concert was a fairly good concert ,because.moot of the people went away reasonably happy.. Grand .Funk was happy because they .collected a five4igure fee for their 35 minute concert. The promoter was very happy because he almost filled the coliseum at $3 to $5.50 a Iseat. Some of the patrons went home happy because they got to see a pretty good show. Some of the patrons, however, were not so happy. They were the people who realized that if the University Union had put on the concert, tickets would have cost much, much less. One of the people who was not so happy Friday night was Tom DiFiglio, chairman of the Union Concert Committee. Tom was not upset by the Funk performance, but by the fact that an outside promoter had been able to secure a group the Concert Committee was actively seeking. No one is saying that outside groups should not be allowed to "cut in" on University groups. What is being said is that just possibly, the Union should make a greater effort to beat the outside promoters at the booking game. Members of the Concert Com mittee have complained in the past that they did not have a free hand in securing the groups they wanted to book. The reason was a skep tisism that "rock" groups would not attract big enough crowds. Anyone who went to the Funk "-- The Flea RoOM M Ressell Hue RATES Five cents per word with a minimum oftI@ words.

People point to the Mountain concert (on which the Union took a financial beating) as proot of "rock's" instability. In answer to that, one might point to the bizarre circumstances of the concert. Tbe Mountain concert seemed to be on one day and cancelled the next, prompting great confusion among ticket buyers. Rock is here to stay; Grand Funk proved that Friday night. If the Union refuses to accept this fact, there are plenty of outside promoters who do. Outside promoters would not be so bad, except that the Union Concert Committee has pioneered rock in Columbia, and should be the ones to benefit. We, th& students, who fund the committee should be the beneficiaries, not a promoter who sat back when the Union was loosing their pants to promote rock. This is a free country, and every -ne should be able to promote anything he pleases. On the other hand, why has the University gone out of the promotion business? Why have the hands of the Concert Committee been tied until April? Why have outside promoters been allowed to secure dates at the Coliseum before the University that built it? These are all very interesting questions, questions that deserve answers. Rock groups charge very high prices, promoters, while they pay the high prices, still make lots of money. I for one would rather see the Concert Committee make the profit which eventually comes back to the students. If you too Marker -- lab-typing, filing and wiling to draw boodL from patients. 254-0178.

CAI PEE C.' re too high Jerry Calabrese would rather sa the profits go to the studnts, say so. Te promoters who brougbt in Grand Funk, would have promoted Howdy Doody if it would have drawn a crowd. Next time there is a rock concert, why not try to make It, a real peoples' concert. Let's try to eliminate the promoter who gives his plastic hippie peace sign, and then runs to his office, singing "Peace, love, and $5.50 a seat." The students of USC have already paid for entertainment in the form of the USC activity fee. The question is who is benefiting from this fee; students, or outside promoters? To digress, the Monday "At The.." was a review of Friday's Grand Funk concert. Tbe headline of the story read "Exuma Sur passes Grand Funk." The actual review said nothing of the sort. The headline was created by someone other than the writer of the review. Monday's review simply said that Exuma was a different type of sound, but nonetheless a very heavy group. On the exchange Agnew's P students w When Spiro Agnew visited the Coliseum in Raleigh last week, 20,000 people showed up as the Republican party had printed 12,000 tickets too many. NC State students, fearing violence by their own students, formed a brigade of some 360 marshals. The students, however, were remarkably well behaved. They only held up "We Dislike Agnew" signs once or twice. Outside the Coliseum, things were different. The "Law and Order Crowd" of Agnew sup porters caused injuries to six of the marshals as these students were cat-called and baited. UNIVERSITY OF THE SOUTH ITEMS ON OUR MEl N SE CON VENIENTI' PARS TO TAKE 01 i eheed end we'll he. r order'wlMne for yeu 7ee-see, Student patrolmen needed Applications for the student Safety Patrol, which was suggested by students and is being supported by Student Government and the Administration, are being taken this week. The emergency measure is an effort to prevent attacks and rapes, which have occurred too frequently this year on or near the campus. Howard Comen, who has been appointed director of Student Government Security, said the project is being conducted by Student Government in cooperation with Campus Security. Men selected for the patrol will work in groups of two. They will be equipped with walkie-talkies and flashlights and will contact campus security if they see a need. Students who are selected for the patrol will be paid through the work-study program. Comen said he will be in the office of campus security to take applications and discuss the project with interested students today and Friday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and tomorrow from 9:45 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. 4.C. visit: ell behaved Purple-o, Sewanee's campus newspaper, recently published its own list of the top 15 football teams in the nation, and it disagreec wlih both AP and UPI.

UNIVERSITY OF NORT1 IDAKOTA When University of North Dakota Army ROTC cadets returned from training maneuvers recently, they realized how poorly ROTC was training them.
