Regisi (Continued from page 11) their true value. The West Virginia Tax Commission warned in 1884 that the continued selling of property mineral and mining rights would transfer real sovereignty to the boardrooms of distant corporations, depriving West Virginians of control over their own destiny. This grim prophecy has been realized in full measure. The institutions that destroy the marshes will include every major steel corporation, the largest in surance companies, and banks, and, as always in enterprises of pollution and ruin, the great names in petroleum. Enormous sums will flow in from Japan and Germany to finance new wells, walls, ports, and railroad spurs. No state will deal effectively with any of these problems. Governors, judges, and legislators elected with funds 7 supplied by the extractive in- b dustries will condone and legalize , the spreading destruction and , desecration.

If they care to make the fight, South Carolinians have a slender chance to preserve the remaining splendor. beauty, and riches of its tidelands in a state of perpetual usefulness as the habitation of millions and an inspiration for all. Our ability to protect, preserve and most wisely utilize our mar shes will reveal the quality of our civilization as we approach twenty first century - the century of our children. What will we give them? PAUL SHUPE Priorities Needed I'm writing this letter knowing full well that it probably will not have much effect on the cause which I'm advocating. However, Sale .cially priced 2-record set 31267 9'ri Usd&Ar and me 4& GRLE.AOEST R IT S 7502 Rau~aaw~UwAunann -F abm -65 It- e mntial here are things which should be >rought out in the open and maybe what I say will cause others to -ecognize the problem and )ossibly remedy it. The problem which I'm referring i is priority distribution, or the lack of it. If we are to believe vice president Tim McConnell, who says that there is no fair way of registering, then certainly we must look to find some so-called fair way. Since I have been at USC I have had the need to apply for a registration priority and thus far have received one. The reasons are simple. I work n order to pay my tuition, activity fees (which pays and supports Mr. McConnell and his SGA), books, etc. Since I must work inorder to stay in school I have been forced to schedule my classes so that they do not conflict to any great degree with my working hours. I think this is a rather simple and certainly worthy cause for my being issued a priority, and thus far so has the registration committee -- until now. In view of the abolition of priorities, what do I do now -- quit my job? If my classes are not scheduled in accordance with my working hours, then I no longer am able to work, but then I can no longer continue my education. So you see we seem to have a vicious circle here, don't we? I would also like to point out that it is fairly common knowledge that SGA registers early, this was brought into view only this past semester in the controversial case of Miss Kathy ,Jennings. Also those fine, clean living athletes of ours register early. If these two groups leserve an additional priority and are exceptions to a pre-established system, then why aren't we -- those students who work in order to continue our education? I'm very sure that 10 years from now that I'll cherish my degree a lot more since I've worked for it all the way than if I had had it served to me on a silver platter one morning at the Rtoost along with my nice athletic scholarship and tube of Pepsodent toothpaste. D)on't misunderstand, l'm not against athletic, quite the contrary. my purpose is just to point out the obvious inequities of our registration system. I hope that this letter can in fluence someone to see our side (the students not as well off financially as others) of this story and possibly reconsider. I cer tainly think that some type of compromise system could be worked out. NAME WITlIIIIEI.I) IIV lCEQUEST Read GAMECK Published Weekly
