I have become convinced, after udying the situation, that the only able answer is University Gover- I ince, specifically a University mate. If we could join with the ] culty and the administrators in a impuswide Senate, then perhaps is university could be run for the ,nefit of those who put the most to it. - For these reasons, I respectfully I id regretfully submit my resigna mn from the Student Senate.

That is the opening line of a 'Welcome" address. prepared by (or for) President Jones. The GAMECOCK thought it would )e nice since he IS the presi tent, if we gave him an oppor :unity to say something to USC ;tudents in this our first issue. Well, asking the president to Prite something of this nature s not wholly unlike putting a uickel into a juke box: you've ieard that song before, but )ecause the box was there, long with the nickel, the com )ulsion was too great for your nasochistic urge. All we can say is that we isked for it. After that reassur ng opening line, the president roes on to list very diligently ill the counseling and academic >rograms on campus that will illegedly raise the intellectual rision of floundering students o previously. unattained teights. Isn't that exciting. There's more though. With a rreat deal of self-righteousness he president says "A more visi ole sign of the university rrowth, however, is the con truction which seems to be on Imost every block of our large ampus." If one detects a uphemism in this sentence, it s not in the president's >hraseseology that there are ndeed visible signs of growth, out in his veiled assertion that his construction is visible on almost every block."

We would need 3.4 million Sir Walter Raleigh's to cast as many capes across Pickens and Sumter streets to protect the dainty feet of our co-eds.. It also seems ironic that the university told the student body last spring that Green Street couldn't be closed this fall for a trial run of the mall experi ment because of work on Pic kens which they said wouldn't be finished until February. The primary reason for the stall was that two main campus arteries couldn't be closed simultane ously because of the ensuing traffic problems. Though the president does keep himself relatively ' sec luded in his office at the administration building, any one can see that there are plenty of windows in the presidental home. If Jones were to glance at his campus from one of those panes he would see he has done exactly what he said couldn't be done.

Shot We understand that Vice President Brunton (business affairs) is crying because the weather this summer has held up the construction. However, no one is going to convince us that, in the planning for the alte ration of Pickens and Sumter streets, the point was never raised that such a setback could arise and be planned for. Ultimately we must apologize to President Jones for asking him to write a welcome address to the student body and then declining to print it. But seri Dusly can we be party to a pres idential "dodge" which skirts the problems that ernestly con .ern students during their daily treks across this campus? It is much more likely that massive traffic jams, high food prices accompanied by long waits to pay those prices, mud lied streets and sidewalks, lack Af parking spaces and a general :haotic academic atmosphere provide the need for all the :ounseling programs here on which the president loves to 1well. Let's hope that something gives on this campus before the ?resident announces the open ng of side walk psychiatry ;tands to further calm the col ective student nerve. -PET CK the students of the University of South university.
