The situation shows little pr it, however.

Complaints about these conditions may or may not help, but they can certainly do no harm. ARA Slater's monopoly oveO student food services here gives them an excuse, when thy need one, to deliver less than the service and food quality that Carolina students pay for. if Slater had competition in at least one on-campus 1 ation, matters might improve considerably. If matters not begin to improve, under any conditions, more and e students may eat at other places or in their rooms, a d Slater will find itself with more problems than it rgained for. Dropping required PE is bonus for students Required hysical education, at least as a University -11 tu_ -- -ent, is a thing-of the past at Carolina since the 0aculty Senate approved its elimination at a recent meeting. We understand that student support through the academic affairs committee of Student Senate may have been a factor in this decision, as it may be in other academic Smatters already under consideration by the Faculty Senate. Te PE requirement has been the albatross of many upperclassmen who were unable to get into a class as fresh men and sophomores and still had trouble finding open PE :classes while approaching the panic point as juniors and seniors. Since it is doubtful that physical education courses, were- decisive factors in getting anyone into top-notch physical condition, dropping them from the required list was a wise move.

King believed, and acted ac cordingly, that nonviolence would prove effective in the abolition of injustice in politics, economics, education, and race relations. He also believed, and Lgain acted accordingly, that people could not be moved to abolish voluntarily the inhumanity of man to man by mere persuasion and even pleading, but that they could be moved to do so by dramatizing this inhumanity through massive nonviolent resistance. King gave people an ethical means to engage in activities designed to improve social change witio6t , bloodsh6d and violence Whatever violence did erupt was that which is potential in any protest which aims to uproot deeply entrenched wrongs Remember, Mr. Trotter, your very own country was founded as a result of a violent revolution whict also sought to end the wrongs 01 taxation without representatior and, supposedly, liberty withou inequality.

King challenge the in terracial wrongs of our country and win the consciences of people like myself. Whereas "the mon sters of the nihilistic Left" carry weapons, King carried neither gun or knife to attack others or to defend himself. Remember, Mr. Trotter, why King was in Memphis where he was assassinated: to help get better wages for garbage collectors. If this form of humanitarianism is "buying salvation," then, in deed, it is the best product money can buy! Martin Luther King, Jr., ac complished so much in the minds of so many of his fellowmen that rarely, if ever, were the flags of an entire nation lowered for a non government figure.

SWEENEY Columnist Since the last column, the department has taken steps to ternal communications gap.

It will depend the rrechanic, his ingenuity, and inherent limitations of the tool. I am told that in many respect, is a tool. Its application to quantit qualitative inquiry has proved i may have read of a recent Nobe from M.I.T. His award was and act people criticize our basketball team for their recent losses; it angers me to see these same people cheering loudly and counting themselves in the number of "loyal supporters" when we win. No team in the country is so great that they cannot be beaten. A way can be found to do it. Futhermore, I cannot call the situations in which we have been "basketball." The freeze-type offense, used twice thus far, would enable a high school team to defeat a pro-team. We have been harassed and intimidated by the fans. No player can remain calm when the fans cheer wildly when he has been injured, hoping that he has killed himself. This is not basketball. This is guerrilla warfare. I am not trying to make any excuses for the team because they don't need any. But,. win or lose, they are out on that court playing for us and they do need and deserve our total support. They don't need the kind that comes only when they win. I have faith, that they ,will come back strong, and go all the way to Houston. Now, we should show them that faith, for if they don't have it, there is no use in their playing.

One faculty member. Professor Joseph Petrus, does not think logically and he is also very rude, as revealed. in Monday's Gamecock. Mr. Petrus objects to the Brice donation towards the expansion of Carolina Stadium. I would like to point out that the Brice donation was just that--and the donors donated it to the stadium. I think the faculty should have no voice in where a donation goes. They should be happy to have such a gift. If I were the executors of the Brice estate, I would be deeply offended by such an objection as Mr. Petrus has made. I am not, however, in favor of putting S& million in a structure that will only be used five times a year. At the same time, I would not turn down a donation of $2.75 million. Mr. Petrus said the money should have been given to the library because we need this structure badly. Granted, we do, but if Joseph Petrus would talk to l)ean Brunton, he would discover that the library is going to get here as soon as possible. rgest Inventory of Bell's ) Reduction: ted Merchan ricard & Mastercharge 10OAM -7 PM Mon and see Tom and all ti in (2 Blocd.

You cannot speed up the birth of a child nor can the building of a library be speeded up, according to Dean Brunton. Mr. Petrus also pointed out that the funds for the stadium had already been appropriated. Well, for Mr. Petrus' information, so have the funds for the library, (again I add) according to Dean Bruntori. If Mr. Petrus doesn't want $2.75 million dollars for the stadium, he should request that the Brice estate take it back. Or rather, I wish the Brice estate would take it back and give it to an institution that will appreciate $2.75 million.
