Return Commons Room
TO THE EDITOR:
What happened to the Commons
Room? We'd like a place where we
can drink coffee and read, study,
play cards, or carry on a conversa
tion - without benefit of a jukebox.
Admittedly the Commons Room
was not serving the purpose for
which it was originally conceived
- a common meeting ground for
students and faculty. It was, how
ever, an alternative to the circus in
the Gamecock Room - an alterna
tive that we, other students and
occasionally faculty members
utilize.
The Student Union maintains that
the room will only be used as a night
club, citing difficulties with secur
ity of night club preformers' equip
ment during the day. Are these dif
ficulties impossible to overcome?
Give us back our Commons Room.

THANKS!
TO THE EDITOR:
The married students would like
to thank APO fraternity and all of
the girls in Wade Hampton, Sims
and McClintock for the Halloween
parties they provided for our chil
dren. It is sometimes difficult for
married students to take their chil
dren to off-campus events planned
for our kids on campus. See people,
students are people too! Thanks
for making our campus life easier.

Parker fails
TO THE EDITOR:
After scrambling to keep his head
on his shoulders and the Gamecocks
in the same stadium, it seems that
Grossman has been decapitated by
the Assistant Sports Editor. It
seems that not only did Mr. Parker
fail to research the Miami team, but
he took the easy way out and placed
the blame on Grossman. When you
can recruit players from an area
that has televised high school

Consider this
TO THE EDITOR:
This letter is directed to Bob Eck
hardt. Mr. Eckhardt, you are well
informed in.regard to Biblical quo
tations, but there is one that you
have over-looked. Please consider
this quotation: "Hurl the stones at
her until she dies, but only he that
never sinned throw the first stone"
John 8:7.
This may not be an exact quote,
but I think it conveys the intended
meaning.
CHUCK FAULK
Wrong!
TO THE EDITOR:
This probably will come as a
shock to you, but you are wrong.
The specific instance is your editor
ial of 10-23-72 ("Abortion is a per
sonal thing").
Although you certainly have a
right to think what you wish, I ques
tion your right to use my money to
advocate such ultra-radical princi
ples as "...religious arguments
against abortion have no place"! If,
whatever my religion, I believe that
life, in the Judeo-Christian meaning
of the word, begins at conception,
I am forced to' advocate anti
abortion laws for the same religious
reasons that I oppose any other
form of murder. If, then, abortion
is not a religious question, there
must be none!
The original article offended me,
but I felt that you had a right to pub
lish an article supporting one view
of the issue. I am shocked at the
editorial, and I claim that such an
anti-religious statement is inexcus
able in the University's newspaper.
You have no obligation to believe
what I do, any more than I am
obliged to believe your views.
However, you have no right to dis
miss the carefully studied position
of millions of individuals as being
"out of touch with reality."
It is my belief that your title was
correct - abortion is a personal
thing - but there are two persons
involved, one of whom just happens
to be unborn. But beliefs aside, I
ask for an apology from you on
behalf of all those who were
offended by your blatently anti
religious stand.
