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

not begin to improve, under any conditions, more and

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 I
Dear Miss Manning:
It is beyond my comprehension
how any college-bred person could
declare that Martin Luther King,
Jr., "accomplished just about as
much as any secular
humanitarian, absolutely
nothing... he also left behind him a
legacy of violence that cost blacks
fortunes in destroyed property,
that cost many of them their
lives."
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.

As Mahatma Ghandi challenged
the colonial rights of the British
Empire without a sword and won
independence of India; so, too, did
Rev. 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.
By the way, Mr. Trotter, what
have you accomplished for your
fellowmen?
Come to Room 116 in the
Business. Admitistration College
this Friday afternoon (the an

incidentally) and I shall tell you
how to get involved in the activities
of the South Carolina Council on

Since the last column, the

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.

Take it back
Dear Miss Manning:
It seems that even the faculty is
ignorant as to what is going on at
the University. 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.

Trhe library is not a dream, it is a
reality, because it began many
months ago. 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.
