Please, Mr. IEditor, what has happened. Have the prices in the Campus Shop plummeted to below-cost figures? Has the Student Senate reached a compromise with the so pictured "wardens" of the Campus Shop'? Or has the Campus Shop simply folded because the com plete absence of business gave them no recourse'? Or is it perhaps that The Gamecock has found newer and more exciting issues with which to st ir the student body into irrational furor?

Neither did I find any concrete statement of grievances listed in the news stories. All I saw was a senstional, unexplained campaign to turn students away from a service they need. Sure, there are things wrong with the Campus Shop. Is there anywhere that there isn't something wrong? The prices on books are too high just as they too high at the S.C. Bookstore, just as they are too high at almost every textbook store at every college in the country. Their policies on buying back books are arbitrary and ad vantageous to themselves, as they capit alize on their monopoly. Their mnts BUST .cAL1C MU SOUNDIPACK SMAS-O6 her.

But on the other hand, the profits from tUe Campus Shop are returned to the school to provide scholarships and to offset debts. The profits from off campus bookstores go into private pockets, and the students receive no good from the equal amount of money that they pay in. Agreed, things need to be change. But don't stop with loud cries and momentary oycotts. Work rationally to chage them. You. Mr. Editor should know this . for it is objectivity and per severant e that makes a newspaper ellective and get the job done. Maybe the lack of those two elements is why yours isn't and hasn't. T1 I ONLA S 11..E1.P.A%ZE R Parking Committee proposals 'outrageous' I)ea r 11 r. Beebe: In reference to the latest proposals of the parking com mittee. we would like to urge, challenge, and even plead with every student (especially those who commute) to stand up and be heard on the parking issue at hand. We agree wholeheartedly with Mr. Thompson and consider these proposals (i.e. doubling meter rates and charging $6.00 per month for parking at the Coliseum) to be an outrageous, yet typical, in fringement of the student's rights. Whenever the University needs more money for its projects, it simply uses one committee or another to further exploit us -- the students. Why must we be kicked around like so much dust under some bureaucrat's feet? Why doesn't the parking committee molest more of the Campus Shop's seventy thousand del* net profit each year to pay for its garage? It is hard enough for so many of the stdents we represent to have to face the parking situation they do. without being bludgeoned to death by some money-crazed committee that sees the student as their only pot of gold. Many students have quite a struggle paying for their education already. Does the faculty pay for their parking priveledge? NO! Does the administration? NO! We speak for the vast majority of town students as well as others when we say that we denounce any of these solutions tc the parking problem and urge the committee to. for once, have mercy on the town student. If the members of the Parking Com mittee resent being refered to as 'near crooks" we suggest that they cease acting the part. TrOM STOUDEMIR E President.
