graciously of the .Carolina community, Including tis, have been quite vocal In their protests tion of $2.75 million of a $3.5 million gift to Ing Carolina Stadium. ts have been so strident that some fear might consider making large contributions will be frightened out of doing so. Illt.rs. Martha W. Brice of Sumter specified only that 41 million was to go to either Trinity United Ist urch in Sumter, to Eptworth Children's Home rumnla to USC., or to be divided among the three. Mrs. 's hrs decided to increase the gift and divide it. C caine out on top, with $250,000 going to the Coastal ina-Regional Campus at Conway; $2.75 million to the lsIdium and $500,000 for construction of the College of nursing's new building. Thegiftof this amount to the College of Nursing has made possible for USC to be considered for a federal grant of approximately $1.5 million for the nursing building. The feeling that the Athletic Department has gained too much influence and that too much emphasis is placed on athletics at USC hai gained momentum during the fall semester. We share this feeling. At the same time, we disapprove of the immature manner in which some have criticized the intentions of the executors of the Brice estate. The Carolina community should receive this gift graciously, whether or not there is general agreement on ;he value of the athletic program. Neither university of ficials, the Board of Trustees, the faculty or the student body has the right to tell the heirs how the gift should be spent. Neither should anyone who cares about the University belittle the fact that $750,000 was donated for academic buildings along with the stadium donation. It could all have been given to the stadium. Letter from the editor The semester is almost at an end. For the editor and the staff of The Gamecock, it has provided many learning opportunities. In gathering, writing and packaging the news of the Carolina community for the student body, we've been allowed to see many things more clearly. We've been forced to look long and hard at the strengths and weaknesses of the University, as well as at our own. We know that we've made many mistakes, but we also know that to make an honest mistake in an honest effort to be productive is better than to sit back in apathy. We hope that the things which we've accomplished will outweigh our mistakes. We've tried to present a balanced picture of not only the events of the semester, but of the attitudes and the atmosphere that make the context into which the events fall. We've tried to allow for a more diversified presentation of student opinion in the paper. And we think we've continued a Gamecock tradition: to be constantly re-evaluating, constantly seeging the fresh approach, always looking for advice asndiying to keep an open mind, so that the paper will be stronger and better. The goal: to be a newspaper for the Carolina student body. CHERYL MANNING e i Your m nimi i rommt t * , bown apple out.

Is the University running the Athletic Department or is the Athletic Department running the University? This can be broadened by asking whether Paul Dietzel is running the University or is he subservient to it? These questions should be of grave concern to all those who attend this University. In a little over a year our athletic director has come up with stupendous ideas of expanding our present football stadium and of carpeting it with' astro-turf. Coach Dietzel seems to feel that with a big pretty stadium he can win more football games. Charisma is one thing Coach Dietzel has, but winning teams here he has not.He has made us feel like winners but just feeling and having are two different things. Since Coach Dietzel has been here Carolina has had only one winning season and his won loss ratio is not very appealing. Yes, Coach, we have a long way to go. This is not an attack upon Coach Dietzel's integrity but upon his overdramatized plans for us. His plan to extend the stadium is USC's biggest problem. Too much money is being put into this area and not enough is being put aside for academics.

Outstanding Architectural Achievement Award: to Athletic Director Paul Dietzel, for wheeling, dealing, politicking and a few other things too libelous to mention, in raising money for the new stadium addition. The Ayn Rand "I'll Follow Your Anywhere" Award: to the Radicals for Capitalism, for constantly breaking up meetings, work sessions, and filling the pages of this newspaper with their own attempts at objective prose. The Free Press Award: to the South Carolina State Student Legislature, for throwing out news media during debate on the Foard censure. The Robbie the Robot Award: to the computers that run this university, without which there would be no foul-ups on grades, courses. -money owed, and also without which their would be much greater humanity in the ad ministration.

Maybe Coach Dietzel will be governor or president someday. Coach, if you want a bigger stadium, build it yourself with your own money. You've got u. It will be interesting to see after you've built it whether you can fill it. In conclusion, let's don't penalize our academics for the big buildup ideas of Coach Dietzel. We have enough problems now without this new expansion program. Get wise, Carolina community, you're paying for this in more ways than one. CHUCK CROMER Poor journalism Dear Mis Mannini Until the January 11, lrl1 edition of ThkGamecock, I thought that you and your staff had done a rather reasonable job of reporting events that have been taking place on our campus. I think that you have given every point of view a proper forum in which they could air their feelings. However, I think that the lead headline regarding Professor Joe Petrus statement is bad judgement, and if I may say so in my own humble way, poor journalism. The headline does not convey the expressions as in dicated in the context of the ar ticle. ester award The Betty Crocker Cooking Award: to ARA Slater. Why not? The Bright Idea Award: to the Administration, who decided it would be nice to have adequate lighting on campus after several coeds had been raped. The Impotency Award: to the Student Senate, for managing to collect their stipends and failing to do anything of any importance or help for the students. The Uncle Tom Award: to Mike Spears for his exceptionally useless backdoor work with the Administration. The Santa Claus Award: to trustee Michael J. Mungo who, in order to gain a tax loss and publicize his latest venture Coldstream, gave $10,000 to USC. The Burlington Mills Carpet Award: to athletic director Paul Dietzel, for his efforts in raising money to carpet the Cockpit. The Award for the Greatest Number of Dribbles in a single Game: to the Maryland basketball team, who else? Also a special Cassius Clay Sore Looser Award to Maryland Coach Lefty Driesell. The Helpful Outsiders Award: to Rita Fellers and the Student Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam, for forgetting the purpose of their organizati.on and going to Georgetown to help other politicians turn the steel strike into ood lovers rejoice ..at the adfobster IN E RAW WFOOD OYSTERS 30 A.M. to 11 P.M. - Ph. 796-1048 lOX ABBOTT DRIVf. - CAYCE Pregnant Your pregancy is our concern.

How wo4ld Mr. Bal feel if eryone who didn't like his last editorial were to enter his home and destroy it? Would they appear to have broken the law? Or would we call it an attempt to express our views in a rather physical man ner? How about it Mr. Bal! When we arrive to take over your home, we expect you to protect your home by flogging us with wet noodles and pelting our defenseless bodies with dried poppy seeds lest you break our spirit and do us bodily harm! Mr. Ball speaks about mottos and other words to live by...how about "Let he who is blameless cast the first stone." If Mr. Ball has solid answers to nightsticks and tear gas, let him share this profound knowledge with the masses. If not, and I quote..."It would be well advised to reconcile rhetoric with reality."
