DEAR MS. MILLER:
I am writing in reply to the lei
by Mr. Frank Sullivan wt
appeared in your paper of
March.
As I am working to help
Kathy Jennings in her campi
for student body vice presiden
feel qualified to comment on
least some of his complaints.
First, he has accused Ms.
nings of distributing her camps
material prior to the date on wi
such material may be leg
distributed. This is not trL
Material has been given onl3
campaign workers with exp
instructions not to distribute t
until the legal date set. As fai
we can determine, no one on
staff has released this camp;
material prior to this morning
March at 8:00 a.m.)
To substantiate this, I an
receipt of a letter written
signed by Matt Thorn
chairman of the Elections C
mission, stating that he beli
what I have stated to be true
dated 13 March. This letter wi
in the possession of Ms. Jenn
and may be verified by an:
wishing to do so.
As to the date of release bein

Sullivan has made another arrt
t as the official release date was
al March at 8:00 a.m.
In regards to some of IM
fter Sullivan's other complaints, all
ich can say is that he is quite rig
13 about the apathy existing
campus, as indeed it exis
Ms. throughout this nation. There
agn only one answer to such things
t, I apathy, running for office for "t
at wrong reasons" and many of a
other problems. The answer is
Fen- do as Kathy Jennings, her oth
ign campaign workers, and I ha
iich done; pick a postition or a pers
ally and get out and do something ab<
e. it besides gripe.

DEAR MS. MILLER:
in I believe, wholeheartedly t1
and neither Kathy Jennings, nor an3
ton, her supporters distributed any
om- her campaign material before
aes said date of March 13. Being in

ht Democrats have
)n
ts ruined state
is
as DEAR MS. MILLER:
he At times I feel as though I should
ur laugh when I see one of those nifty
to looking "Register and Vote
er Democratic" posters that are
ve plastered about our campus, but
on the rage - ' frustration that I feel
ut overcome , e urge to laugh. I
wonder how many more blind
JM voters will stumble to the polls in
support of these parasites that
,g have victimized South Carolina for
L nearly 100 years.
One could write volumes on the
quagmires that the national
Democratic party's "leaders"
have dragged us into--quicksand
iat traps that their leaders all of a
of sudden claim to have solutions to.
of But this letter is intended to shed
the light onto local matters that are too
the often overshadowed by the LBJs
ion and Huberts that the local party
to pays allegiance to.
to Though South Carolina
Democrats have had solid, un
challenged domination of the state
IAN on every political level since 1876,
'EE they always seems to go to the
polls saying "Just give us another
chance and maybe we'll do it
right." But each year we fall
farther behind in education, in
spending for police, and in other
public services. Nearly every
taxes go up, along with salaries for
the state's fat cats. How long can
this go on?
The state is already millions of
dollars in debt (debt by the way
that is prohibited by the state's
consitituion). Governors of this
state are the only ones with their
own private jet planes. A $14
million underground atom bomb
proof parking lot for state em
ployees only is under construction
near the capitol. We've had more
than our share of kick-back takers,
special privilege grabbers and
"public service commission"
robberies.
Perhaps the hardest pill of all to
swallow is the continued loyalty of
nearly all of the state's blacks to
the Democratic machine. This is
the party that kept them down as
second class citizens so long as it

Traffic upgrade
definitely needed
DEAR MS. MILLER:
So, TOPICS and the S.C. High
way Department have taken it
upon themselves to improve the t
traffic situation at USC. Im
provements are definitely needed.
I think it's a great idea to cut the
campus in half, direct the thousand
female students of Capstone and
Columbia Halls across one over
pass at College Street (not to
mention the thousands of students
who have classes in Humanities
and several hundred professors
and instructors who must also
cross the campus on foot), further
pollute the campus with noise and
hubbub, and by means of a wider
road through a campus which
everyone loves to drive, redirect a
considerable percentage more
traffic onto our tranquil campus to
a fantastic bottleneck, which will
be unavoidable at the corner of
Green Street and Intra-City
Pickens Street.
I also enjoy the idea of soot and
oil stains on LeConte and Sloan
Colleges, whose grey walls have
faded and need to be greyer. Of
course, there is one drawback, that
the walls of Humanties will
become tainted also, but this
situation can be overcome with
monthly sandblasting. With this
improvement, the added safeties
on Blossom Street, the overpass
walkway, and safe atmosphere
created by thousands of students
crossing Assembly Street, which is
little traveled thereby negating
any need for a student overpass or
underpass, the Highway Depart

)ietzel regulates
nustache length
EAR MS. MILLER:
There has been a recent
velopment in the Athletic
epartment. Mr. Paul Dietzel
eclared that mustaches can be
orn by the athletes, due to the
ressure of the blacks explaining
iat it was and still is a part of
ieir heritage. At first glance this
iould seem to be a breakthrough
i the stringent rules of "How the
outh Carolina athlete should
[ok." But a second look reveals a
nost sick stiuation.
How ridiculous it is that the
thlete should strive to maintain
he old time image of the clean cut
mnd clean shaven figure, when
werybody knows that he is not.
Nhy put on a phoney face to please
he athletic department and the
ilumni when that face is not you?
Why must people try to enforce
ow you look when your ap
pearance does not interfere with
the performance of your talents?
Well this hideous policy is still
being carried out.
Mr. Dietzel explained that the
mustache must not be thick and
must not grow around the mouth. I
just can't help from sadly laughing
at this farce. It seems that the
people in question put a higher
value on how you look than how
you play. This is not the first time I
have experienced such disgust
with an athletic department. A
MUSTACHE is a MUSTACHE!
It's really degrading that people
(athletic department and af
filiates) feel they have to regulate
the thickness and length of the hair
of the upper lip.

have to see them several times
before you thought you caught
them all. Like the Chaplin films,
the Marx Brothers are having a
rebirth in the theater. In New
