I noticed your front page cartoon depicting the plight of our American prisoners of war in Vietnam. I am quite surprised at your naivete, Mr. Beebe. You have shown in recent weeks through your editorials and timely cartoons that you are truly a "Southern man." For America to murder innocent women and children in Vietnam and Laos is no problem; for America to virtually destroy millions of acres of rice fields through defoliation, thus leaving over one-half of the people of South Vietnam with no visible means for food is no great problem; for America to commit genocide on the black people that live in her cellar is no problem; for America to kill her children (Orangeburg, Kent State, Jacksonville), no, this is not a big problem for America. And yet in the light of what America is doing today, you expect sympathy and moral indignation for U.S. prisoners of war. It is only fitting that these men who have personally chosen to partake in the wholesale slaughter of an indigenous people in the name of U.S. Imperialism be subject to the walls of a prison. Or tell me, Mr. Beebe, is murder a justifiable act when performed under the banner of Freedom, God, and Vietnamization? ROBER T GOLFF Report erroneous DEAR MR. REERE, It is with dismay that I read the report in Friday's Gamecock concerning the Russell House Lounge policy allgedly passed by the University Union Board of Governors. The fact is that the report is erroneous and based on hearsay. The Union was not contacted at any time prior to publication of the article concerning the existence of the alleged policy. Neither I,, as President of the Union and Chairman of the Board of Governogs, nor Mr. Tyler, as D)irector of the Union, have made any statements regarding changes of the Lounge-Gallery policy, b)ecaulse there have been no changes. The Board of Governors, as you know, is,an advisory body to the Vice-president of Student Affairs. Composed of student representatives from men and ROOF JEWELERS ID ? JMELST REPAUt a1221 Taylor and Roswood Shopping Ctv. WELCOME STUDENT CREDIT. women's residence areas, A, town students, faculty and ad ministration, as well as alumni, the Board of Governors formulates general policy recommendations on Russell House policy and University Union programming. The Board has a majority of students. At the present time, Vice president Witten has been for warded a recommendation regarding the Lounge policy. A copy of the recommendation is enclosed. The proposed regulations are not the product of a reactionary plot to put students "up against the wall", or in this case, out of the Lounge. Students who are vitally interested in the welfare of their fellow students drew up the proposal. Some of us on the Board oc casionally sit on the floor our selves. I cannot help but feel that the ultimate rip-off is the flying frisbee of fate slashing through an original painting. The con sequences in terms of our ability to bring in future art exhibits are far more serious than those from grounding flying objects in the Lounge-Gallery. If you have any further questions regarding Board actions, please do not hesitate to contact me. WES SANDLIN *President, University Union Fan disgusted DICAN MR. IFEFEHE, First of all let me say that I am an avid Gamecock fan and I would like to see our team go all the way, as they certainly are capable of do.ing. But I feel as though I must express my disgust at the shameful behavious or certain team members. I see no reason whatsoever for deliberately hitting and or kicking the members of an opposing team. I believe that my feelings are shared by a number of students and alumni. One remark I overheard at the North Carolina game on Saturday was, "if our team is going to play like that, I'm going to start booing them." It is my belief that Coach McGuire should better discipline certain players, and if he con't do this. then he should no allow them to play at all. There are only a few players who resort to such tactics, so the entire team is not to be criticized. However, I hope I will not see anymore of the behavior I wit Can Mr. Sutker Maneager of Shimmy's (a Clemson Man) find Peace and Happiness serving Carolina students?

I want to wish the team luck and to thank them for the many thrills and proud moments they have brought to all of us. JOYCE M(H)RE Narrow Road Success DEAR MR. BEEBE: Here is a "welcomed opposing opinion" referring to your par ticular critique--suggested in the Gamecock of Feb. 19. First of all, let us express our "thanks" to the entire theatre staff ; especially to Mr. Bennett for this extraordinary production. Within the last years, we have seen many productions at the University Theatre and "Narrow Road" was in our opinion one of the best, if not the best!! This was good modern theatre. We are able to support this statement to some degree, because up to now, we h'ave seen productions of this standard only in cities like New York, Stockholm, London, and Munich. Modern theatre combines primitive theatre with the most advanced level of aesthetic structure (consider Peter Brook's London production of "Marat Sade"). This was obviously the concept behind this production. It turned out to be not just a concept, but a theatrical reality: setting, lighting, costumes, music, and, above all, acting were coordinated with this concept. To explore the excellence, lucidity, and every convincing detail of this per formance would indeed take an entire issue of The Gamecock. To achieve this unity of ad vanced style, a tremendous effort must have been necessary. One example: The massacre of the children (My Lai) was shown as a combination of extreme unrealistic primitivism (dolls)] with an "up-to-date plasticism (plastic bags).. .The cruelty of modern war could not have been demonstrated in a more direct and shocking way! You might niot appreciate this direct artistic approach to relevant problems. Just don't let your aesthetic narrowness mislead you in your judgement, because it does a lot of harm to the progressive efforts at this university. As is the case of student reactions to some of the better contemporary movies shown In the Russell House, our review demonstrates that the "modern" appearance of many students does not necessarily in dicate modernity of thought.
