SCOTT DERKS Editor ALICE P Mgn. E Letters Hope i D ietzel, Two comments were made in the column. "The Gutenberg Ex periment," in April and May in ferring that Athletic Director Paul Dietzel travelled to Denver last December using University funds. Usage of those funds for such purposes would be illegal. The comments and inferences made by me in print were incorrect. Two one-way tickets to Denver and two one-way tickets from Denver to Columbia were paid for by the Denver Broncos. I have seen the official receipt dated January 25 received by the athletic department from the Denver Broncos. Therefore, I apologize to coach Dietzel for the statements im plying that he was engaged in dishonest practices in this affair. I also declare that these statements are incorrect, and retract them accordingly. Robert Harry lope I accept the apology from Harry and appreciate the fact that he was man enough to make it. Paul F.

Johnston in the May 1 issue of the Gamecock. So all races had Confederate sympathisers, eh? Certainly not mine. If I remember correctly, the Confederates fought to keep my people under their "peculiar institution" (tyranny) of slavery in the flimsy guise of "states rights." Your glorification of the enemy (they are not traitors, they never were on the side of Blacks) makes me sick to my soul, and your ef forts to keep alive this disease is nothing short of madness. Even your neo-military title is a sign that you don't regret what your ancestors did to us one bit, and that you would do it again if you got the chance. I wish that you would stop perpetuating this insult to Blacks everywhere, and bury the Con federacy once and for all. My colors are for freedom. What are yours for? Stanley M.

In the last three years the students themselves have taken up the fight, culminating this spring In a small demonstration against Harold Brunton and the S. C. Highway Department. The 40-50 students who carried signs reading "Pickens Street Will Swallow Our Campus" and "Hal Brunton Is On A Heavy Concrete Trip" into a highway department hearing were not convinced that a plan to widen Pickens had been studied substantially. Many realized that the proposed widening would not only increase traffic around the University, but would deal a death blow to any hopes of closing Green Street. Soon after a somewhat chaotic hearing Brunton mailed the Highway Department a letter requesting that any construction on Pickens be postponed until further study. The original plans call for Pickens to be widened to four lanes and depressed between Pendleton and Green Streets. This would cut about 50 feet from the north end of the lawn in front of Humanities and 35 feet from the south end. A 40-foot pedestrian overpass would be erected over the street and come to rest in the X I SOUTH Across f rom USC ROUNDHOUSE Alb.

The widening of Pickens Street was originally proposed by students in 1967, as Brunton will happily tell you. Capstone had just been opened and 1,900 students felt something should be done about pedestrian, traffic con flicts on Pickens. Five years ago Pickens wasn't an intregral part of the campus. The Humanities Building had not been built, the business school and Columbia Hall were barely in the planning stages. Student traffic on the cross walk has swollen and during peak periods 675 students cross Pickens in 15 minutes, virtually closing the street.
