Typo compounds error
Due to a typographical error In Wednesday's Gamecock,
Student Government was credited with spending $4,000 for a
weekend leadership retreat. The actual amount was $1,400.
The next sentence which was omitted, stated that "$4,000
is the amount that the Student Senate pays Itself to simply
exist."
Student Government has demonstrated in good faith that
it is financially Irresponsible, but we apologize for com
pounding their negligence.

Radishes from Capitalism,
notorious for breaking up meetings
of the Student Mobilization
Committee and disrupting the staff
of a certain campus newspaper,
again invaded an organization's
meeting last night.
They lost the fight, however,
when all the members of the local
chapter of the Daughters of the
American Revolution ganged up on
the members and beat them with
their umbrellas.
The Clarioeuphranasianophonic
Uterary, Forensic and Intellectual
Society lost its meeting hall
yesterday when the Bull Street

Harvey P. Feinblart, Regal
Presiding Officer, expressed his
concern that members would now

Letters to the edi
Mandatoi
Dear Miss Manning:
It seems as the semester
progresses, questions have arisen
concerning the foreign language
programs here at the University.
Questions ranging from the
effectiveness of language labs to
the validity of the course as a
mandatory one for certain majors
have been voiced by many
students. These questions are
worthy of qualified answers, but so
far, at least to my knowledge, have
received none.
I am not inferring that the entire
foreign languages program should
be abolished or that the subject is
not one of enough substance to be
majored in; quite the con
trary. Foreign language majors
are very much needed for today's
world. How can we begin to un
derstand if we cannot even begin to
communicate?
However, as it has appeared to
me, a foreign language is the type
of subject one cannot go halfway
with in order to obtain valuable
knowledge from. Grammar of any
type requires many hours of
practice and applied use to master.
Bearing these facts in mind, it
would stand to reason thwt to
satisfactorily learn a new
language, that is, to have the
ability to intelligently converse in
that languaage, it would require
several semesters that con
centrated on the basics of a
language.
As it stands now, when a foreign~
language is taken. as a required
sub, one must take two semesters
of it. If an average student worked
exceptionally hard on the subject
he might obtain an acceptable
degree of conversation. However,
if a student did not have the desire
or ability to obtain such a level of
knowledge, he would have little
more than a strictly basic concept
of the language.
Also, as for a foreign languagi
course, educating students in othei
areas of the subject, such as the
culture of the people, to m:
knowledge, do nothing o
significance.

Dear'Miss Manning:
It is generally the case that the
recent past and the character of
the present suggest the
probabilities of the future.
Assuming the validity of this
proposition and examing current
trends at the University of South
Carolina, this alumnus makes so
bold as to write the highlights of
the next decade for publication in
your first edition of January, 1980.
Here is a peek at some coming
news stories.

member of the Board of Trustees
for criticizing recently announcec
plans to expand the 560,000 seal

need for the additional seats, was

College is where you learn to
hate war, poverty, and racism;
and where you discover that the
people from which you sprang are
philistine Babbits, cultivating beer
guts in front of TV sets, caring
nothing for the poor and oppressed.
I'm sure you've heard those deadly
serious professors who stand
behind their pulpits and exhort us
to be committed, compassionate,
and concerned; and who exhort us
to be committed, compassionate,
and concerned; and who praise
Gandhi and Martin Luther King;
and who loudly proclaim their
humanity.
SThere are two kinds of
g humanitarianism-one springing
r from divine origins and the other
-with its roots in Man. The latter,
awhich is the kind long preached by
liberals, is doomed to failure by
definition.
This secular humanitarianism
had its apogee during the
Enlightenment, when intellectuals
revolted against the Catholic
Church as too quietistic. The sons
of the Enlightenment set out to

permissive parents, the limousine
liberal types that sit at segregated
country club Lar anid decry
racism and poverty.
The liberal-left ist goes through
life with a vague sense of quilt
because he has so much and others
have so little, and in order to purge
that guilt, he tries to buy his
salvation with welfare programs
and such. Unfortunately, the price
of a ticket to Paradise in terms of
dollars and cents is quite
prohibitive.
The English philosopher of
history. Christopher Dawson,
argued that rationalist liberalism
was able to play a humane and
progressive social role only
because it was drawing on the
moral capital of the Christian
religious tradition. But as
liberalism more and more rejects
Christianity and turns toward
rabid secularism, it becomes,
ironically, more and more anti
human. Look at the monsters of the
