A farewell
from 'Mr. A'
DEAR MS. MILLER:
To all students of U.S.C.
The years I have been associated
with all of -you at Russell House
have been the happiest in my life.
Now that I must leave, I want to
thank each of you for the joy, help,
good times and fun we have all had
together.
May each of you reach your goal
in life. I hope I have had some
measure of success in helping you
attain your desires.
Remember always that "Mr. A"
is your friend and that I love each
of you.

Craft wallows
in 'cute' style
DEAR MS. MILLER:
It appears that "The Water
mark" is rising above Bob Craft's
head. He continually wallows in
the "cute" and informal approach
to the subjects he examines. It
seems that he attempts to impress
upon the reader that he is "cool"
and "with it" because he can
cynically attack the President
("ole Dick") and such "droll"
Establishment-oriented events as
Kristofferson - 5.98 list -
Blood Sweat & Tears - "

a dedication of a hospital. What is
more painful, however, is that Mr.
Craft fails to go beyond the surface
values of an event. To Craft, what
he sees is what is, whether it be
"Dick stumbling around Andrews
Air Force Base" or the
"paganism" of a dedication. This
shallowness of Mr. Craft's thinking
might just possibly reflect the
shallowness of the man, himself.
Whatever, one must surely
question the motif behind such
writing.
Another area touched by Mr.
Craft's shallow writing is that of
his movie reviews. Here, Craft
takes the picture he has seen and
reports just that: what his eyes
have viewed. In his review (?) of
"Bless the Beasts and Children,"
Mr. Craft stated that it was a great
film. After making such a positive
remark, however, he failed to
explain his reasons for saying so.
Instead, he carried on with a
synopis of the picture, which told
the reader very little about the
value of the film. This unfortu
nately, is not the only instance in
which Mr. Craft has utilized such a
method to review a film; a method
that a seventh grader could
probably surpass.
It may be advisable that Mr.
Craft abandon his "satirical"
attempts and his "funny" phrases,
and come down to a more sensible
and mature level of writing. Mr.
Craft: Leave satire and humor to

What cooperation
does Foard seek?
DEAR MS. MILLER:
On a recent ETV program.
("Nine-Thirty"), Richland.
County's beleaguered solicitor,
John Foard, remarked that he was
getting "very little cooperation"
from the University in his quest to
rid the campus of its "drug
problem."
I would appreciate it if THE
GAMECOCK would attempt to get
a statement from Mr. Foard,
outlining the varieties of
''cooperation" he has in mind.
What SPECIFIC steps or
operations^does he expect of the
University?
My experience has been that
people with Mr. Foard's mentality
want the kind of "cooperation"
that amounts to organizing a
network of spies and informers. He
might conceivably want faculty
members to turn in names of
students who act "funny" in class
who don't, for instance, make
much sense when they attempt to
explain something and might
therefore be under the "influence"
of something. (The kind who are
slow, rambling, and evasive,
like...well, like Mr. Foard is.)
Needless to say, no institution
worthy of its name would submit to
this kind of "cooperation."
If, however, as he implies, the
University is actually thwarting or
preventing the enforcement of any
law, I suggest that Mr. Foard file
charges against the person or
persons responsible. Would it be
unreasonable to expect Mr. Foard
simply to uphold the law and
refrain from directing innuendoes
at a 16,000-member community?

Carver deserves
fans' recognition
DEAR MS. MILLER:
With 3 seconds left in the
Carolina-Clemson game, the clock
stopped and Kevin Joyce went to
the foul line. The timing seemed
perfect. Surely Coach Frank
McGuire would take Bob Carver
out of the game and give the fans a
chance to show their appreciation
for a player who always gave 100
per cent plus.
Already, Rick Aydlett and Tom
Riker had gone to the bench, and
the applause had been enthusiastic
and deservedly so. Bob Carver
wasn't afforded the same op
portunity. He stayed in the game
until the buzzer sounded and then
disappeared into the locker room.
This oversight on the part of
Coach McGuire was certainly not
intentional. Perhaps it was a
greater honor for Bob Carver to
end his regular collegiate career
playing; and the satisfaction of
knowing you've played well should
count for more than the crowd's
brief but lively recognition.
Nevertheless, for whatever this
recognition is worth, Bob Carver
had earned it.
When I say "Thank You" Bob
Carver for some great basketball,
I feel confident that I can speak for
all Carolina fans, many of whom,
like myself, could not have stood
even if the opportunity had
presented itself (I am speaking of
the faithful T.V. audience).
I know I speak for all Carolina
fans in wishing Bob and the rest of
the team Good Luck in their game
against Temple on Saturday.

Administration
sets its own rules
DEAR MS. MILLER:
I feel that an incident on the
afternoon of March 1 should not
pass without mention. It seems
that the Administration can set
their own rules as they damn well
please. I am referring to Dean
Robert Alexander, the Dean of
Student Activities.

Committee of the University Union

reserved for every night this
semester. A few days prior to
Wednesday, Dean Alexander
asked to reserve the theater for a
teachers' meeting from 4 to 6 p.m.
on Wednesday afternoon. The
theater had been previously
reserved for the Films Committee
for 5:15 p.m. Dean Alexander,
apparently. without much thought
to previously established rules (set
by him), told the room reser
vationist that he did not want to be
disturbed until 6 p.m. His ruling in
the past on such situations has
been to the fact that its first come,
first serve when a facility is
reserved. It seems that the Ad
ministration can make up their
own rules to fit its needs with
disregard to other people, ex
pecially students. Because of his
perserverence of time, the movie
had to begin five minutes late.
Upon further investigation, I
soon learned that Dean Alexander
could have stayed in the theater as
long as he had wanted to without
any reprecussions; the student
body was at his command. I would
have hated to see the madness of
the students attending the movie if
the movie were a big picture such
as "Dracula" or "It Came From
Outer Space. "
Is this the type of Administration
we should have at Carolina?

to listen to everyday because of the
sheer length of it. It is something
that should be listened to on special
occasions, to remind yourself of
the lost virtuosity of Duane Allman
and of the other, huge talents of the
other members of the Band, from
the voice and keyboard of Gregg,
the great and ever-improving bass
of Berry Oakley, the endurance of
Trucks and Johnson and the work
of Dicky Betts.
