Get a dog No. 1 DEAH MS. MILLER. In reference to Paul Ransohoff's letter entitled "Females Too Ugly To Snag A Man," in the March 22 Gamecock, he said, "My mother waited hand and foot on my father and she loved every minute of it. I expect the same treatment from my wife" and "Hell, if I want a companion, I'll get a dog!" He sounds like he wants a dog for a wife or a wife that is like a dog. I just want to wish him "good luck" on finding a woman or a dog that would have him for a companion. BETSY HALTIWANGER *Get a dog No. 2 DEAR MS. MILLER, Paul Ransohoff's letter in the March 22 issue of the Gamecock destroyed another of the few remaining hopes I had that USC would develop a progressive perspective in contemporary issues. Ransohoff's attitude towards women is typical, un fortunate though it is, of the % narrow minded ignorance I have found since coming to South Carolinst. Ransohoff's view of a woman is nothing more than a mindless body created for his comfort and physical pleasure. He sees women as "Baby Factories," ignoring the rising population, and that the twentieth century state of affairs makes it almost a crime to have a child. Ransohoff condemns twentieth century man for making women "something special". He seems to be incapable of having a meaningful emotional relationship with a girl because he can't overlook his own male ego defense system. He seems typical of a good old USC jock, with a 383 cubic inch, GAME' The GAMECOCK is published tri. semesters with the exception of Unis Changes of address forms, subscript should be sent to Drawer A, USC, Col' S3 per semester or $6 for both semeste GAMECOCK this year received SSO,0 entitling full-time students to a subsc GAMECOCK are in Rooms 316 and University campus.

Rlansohoff's view of sex is a huff, puff, grunt, see you later type of affair, where his'desire to be the cool sleek lover leaves his partner unsatisfied while he gloats over his new conquest. He is inable to overlook his imaginary "super cock" superiority to realize the beauty of a mutally satisfying physical relationship. Maybe Ransohoff realizes his inadequacy when he suggests a dog for a companion. I hope that he reaches his true potential in sodomy. r Ransohoff's letter discourages me but I realize his position. It is impossible for him to have a h perspective on world situations p which encompasses more than shoveling manure when he has been shoveling manure all his life. n PETER POWERS s S y Get a dog 1 No. 3 DEAR MS. MILLER, tl It certainly is refreshing to have y Ransohoff expound his "superior a intellect" off to the Carolina student body. There just aren't very many people around any more who see things quite so clearly in black and white! In fact I ( find it quite amusing that Ran sohoff is so astute in the matter. Only I wonder where Ransohoff was when Matriarchs were D predominant in the Indian tribes of the Southeast United States, and so certainly Gloria Steinman does an M excellent job of hiding her ugliness. As for Indira Gandhi it is just absolutely remarkable the a way Ransohoff was able to see ah through her disguse and realize re that she is a man! im lit I bet that almost no one else be knows that! I am certainly glad ne that Ransohoff had the courage to enlighten us with his gener- y, alizations in his letter and let us in on the fact that all women are inferior.

MILLER, I could not help but be rather mused at the letter written by "aul Ransohoff in the March 22nd amecock. Ransohoff has got to be USC's lassic example of the castrated orilla beating his chest and iaking a lost of noise so no one will otice that he hasn't got any balls, if you'll excuse my unladylike arm inology). It is to the credit of 20th century nan that he has finally begun to ealize that women have always ised his male conceit to entrap iim, enslave him, and use him. In act, the so-called women's ibertaion movement is really also nale liberation. As far as his feeling that bed is ie place where women are most seful goes, women should be ratified that he recognizes their sefulness and proficiency in this rea. And as far as his getting a dog )r a companion goes.. .perhaps he ' 'ould be psychologically, tl motionally, and physically better n ited for this type of match. p JOSLYN TUCKER s V1 t( isa.s Ra Iiss lanqu.aqe courses in Europe and low* cost accommodations ,n hotels )hts hot day v Illages, and hostels SOt A don I sit on it act now waite tor turther, details m m - - -mm immmo Please send information on i lghts to f.uropeI i 'Student Charter Ftiqhts ' Car Plan ' !ours -international S;tudent Identity Card Student Rla.tpass Iirnquaqe C arstesU THE 19/?

MILLER, For the past two years the state Commission on Higher Education has sponsored a program to place student interns in state govern ment during summer vacations. Since the program was not fuanded by the general assembly, state agencies were obliged to find money for internships out of their regular budgets-a situation that neither the agencies nor the ad ministrators of the program found quite satisfactory. Nevertheless, the internships provided real benefits both to students looking for summer jobs and to agencies interested in introducing students to government employment. My own experience with the program has been especially good. Last year our division took- in two interns (out of more than twenty well-qualified applicants) who contributed a great deal to our work. The interns, who earned good pay for applying their academic skills, got just as much out of the experience. One, indeed earned credit at the University of South Carolina for his work here. We looked forward to using interns again this year. But I have been told not to reserve any of our current budget for summer in ernships because the program has een abandoned. The Commission >n Higher Education seems to )elieve, quite rightly, that they !annot offer a quality program for ;tudent interns without proper unding. And the general assembly efuses to find them the money hey need. It strikes me that his is an issue -eaders of the Gamecock should ake up. Students need summer obs; state government needs to ittract intelligent college ,raduates; and we all need to see a ealthier relationship between niversities and the community. 'o refuse to support a program iat is trying to answer all three eeds is an example of legislative enny-pinching at its worst. If ate representatives want student otes in the fall, they would do well i think what they could do to help udents in the summer. R.
