4 A A belong to students, to the Univer. ty Union, to the administration, the e building, an eating establishment, a store, a p a Ost office or a lounge? Is it for students? For students, faculty and administration?. Por students, faculty, administration and their families? FoO students, faculty, administration, their families and their pets? Or for the general public? There is presently a good deal of confusion in many of these areas. In fact, the confusion has reached the point that some feel it must be cleared up immediately. A committee combined from the University Union's Board of Governors and an ad hoc Student Government committee will hold hearings Wednesday to gather information for a review of all aspects of the building policy. The main problem with Russell House now is its size. The University has outgrown the building. It appears that this problem is one that the we will have to live with, however, until other present needs are met for academic depart ments. Meanwhile, students stumble over each other in the second floor lounge, crowd the cafeteria at meal time and the Gamecock Rooi any other time and complain about the general conditions of the building. Most students who use the building, however, think of It as especially theirs, as no classroom building can be. For this reason, any changes in the policy or the en forcement of it must be made with great diplomacy. Security in the building, registration of guests, who should be able to use Russell Houseandwho controls it are matters which need the serious consideration of the entire Carolina Community. Tact and cooperation will be the keys to the successful solution of what could be a touchy problem. One more committee for beer proposal Through:the efforts of StV;Ient Government, a proposal to sell beer on campus was submitted to the Board of Trustees Saturday. The primary argument for selling "malt beverages" on campus is student safety. The resolution in part states: ".the university has become increasingly concerned in recent months with the problems of student safety that exist on and around the campus. Of particular concern to the Board is the problem of unhealthy and unwholesome night spots which surround the campus and which are pervaded by an atmosphere that exerts an undesirable influence upon the students. ..beca use of these problems, and in response to repeated requests by students for a safer and more wholesome environment in which students can fraternize without being pressured by undesirable elements, the Board approved the establish. ment of a more desirable university-controlled student lounge and instructs the Building and Grounds committee to initiate a study for the determination of the best method of implementation.'' The Board has had repeated requests providing for the sale of beer on campus. These proposals, which were denied, were made before ''student safety'' became a problem. Underlying the action of the Board is the effect the proposal will have on the ''Bible'' oriented state legislature. Being politically and monetarily oriented, the Board of Trustees is carefully pacifying students and legislators. ''Student safety,'' which has no real bearing on the moral issue of beer on campus, is being employed as an unassailable argument against potential critics. Students, however, have benefited once again from the ''free thinking'' positive ap5roach taken by the Board on Saturday. A step has been taken to alleviate crime on campus? Beer will be sold in the Russell House? No--we have another committee making another study.

The freshman class is being exploited to the point where there are no good tickets available for them as in contrast with the upper-classmen, who receive the best student tickets. Many fresh men are becoming irritated with the "worst of the lot policy" whereby the worst student tickets available are reserved for fresh men. It is my understanding that freshmen pay the same amount of money for activity fees as the upperclassmen. Since freshmen do pay the same, they should have the same opportunities for good student tickets as anyone else. There should be a first come, first served ticket policy here where everyone, regardless of what class they are in, has the same op f5ortunity to get the best tickets. Many people feel that because they are juniors or seniors .they should not have to compete with.. freshmen for good seats. Fresh men, to these people, miei lor and second rate. This policy is unjustified. This is the way our ticket distribution system is, but this is not the way it ought to be. CH UCK S. IROMER Thank you Dear Miss Manning: I would like to take this op portunity to thank all those people who contributed to the West Pakistan Relief Fund. The response was encouraging and I am deeply touched by the gesture shown by all the contributers. Nearly two hundred dollars were collected and forwarded to the Embassy in Washington. D. C.

TENEIENT 12 CHHRISTMAS CHOIR Interference 'Dear Miss Manning: I have noticed a rising in volvement of Carolina Students in the Georgetown Steel Strike. Yet, I am sure none of them realize the actual situation. In reality, I do not see how the strike can accomplish anything. The mill continues to operate without change. Many of the strikers have either returned to work or have been replaced. The Georgetown Steel Mill does not bear all the fault. Yet, the strikers are continuing to in flict damage on the person and property of the company and non striking workers. It is the strikers who are breaking the law. The students should also note that the strike is not racial. Yet.there is an attempt to make it look racial to gain attention and involvement from outside sources. I sympathize with the strikers' demands. but how can anyone accept their reckless ways of seeking change. The strike seems hopeless now. but outside in terference can only complicate and prolong the strike. If people really want to help the strike effort and what it represents, let them write the representatives in Columbia and Washington. We can have the laws changed which allow Georgetown Steel and many other fac tories to operate under such bad conditions. There is no point in strikes and unintormedl outsiders marching through the streets or Georgetown like a circus parade. Being a native of Georgetown. I resent ouftside interference in last years frouble on campus. \AMI- WhIT I .1) Freshmen 'exploited' Dear Miss Manning: I wish to express my opposition to the current distribution of places So ca1li us right now Mavhe' we can do eac h other Truck Ren S.C. 180 for the Ren- "" T he eiateni Santa Santa Claus leaned back in his great chair, looked at his wife, then turned his game to the ever-winter skies outside.

Now listen--do you remember what happened last year?" "Yes. You were gone for the awfullest long time, and then you came back with some long tale of your persecutions.

Everybody I saw there was having a great time, those that saw me knew I certainly was in Seventh Heaven! That was my Christmas present from the students. That's one of the side effects for working at a first-rate school -- they have the universally acclaimed best band in the world, for their big dance of the year! C. BRIAN HONESS College of Business Administration Food war rumor Dear Miss Manning: In the Dec. 11 Gamecock, you quoted me as saying that "another food war about a month and half ago was planned..." The intention of this letter is to clarify this misquote. I revealed that there was a rumor of an impending food war which never materialized. The food committee has not in the past. nor will in the future endorse or sponsor a "food war" of any kind. It is the contention of the committee to investigate everyv possible medium to avert such unnecessary violence. We believe that change can be procured through discussions! The Bates House boycott was merely a human vote to relate to Slater officials the discontent with the food. R I('K HANSEN Chairman.

"Anyhow, when I went over to get thim, some policeman comes up to me and says 'Hey, you hippy, what are you doing out at this time of night?'

Then he didn't like the smell of my Arctica 17 tobacco and hauled me in for possession of marijuana." "Tell us another, Mother Goose." "Now look, that really happened. And then in Portnoy, Texas, when that 15-year-old girl came into the living room and then her father came and thought I was trying to molest her." nas spmt here to dictate to the students of USC what they must do. It's rather strange that when a group of people try to work for an alternative to an irrational, racist, and decadent society and system of government that they should be attacked in such an asinine way as Mr. Lottich attacked the Progressive Students for Change. We have never and never intend to dictate to anyone what they must do. What we have and we will continue to do is propose progressive changes on the campus and our society. While America commits murder in Vietnam, people like Mr. Lottich do nothing. When we say that we don't think the University should comply with murder, we are at tacked. Mr. Lottich also says his four years at USC was a con structive experience even though a few minor things such as women's restrictions bothered him. What about the racist admissions policy of USC? When Mr. Lottich entered USC no black students were ad mitted. His silence on this issue is indicative of his silence on other equally detestable problems.
