At the time of the conversation I replied, in this moment of my naivety, that what he said was most undoubtedly false because I had been assured many times that the USC Department of Journalism was one of the best in the South and would not publish a trashy paper. For this reason I failed to see how a student could claim "The Gamecock" to be a toy newspaper. Now that I have read the front page article by Doug Williams in depth, what the person had told me has been proven correct without debate. It has given me a new insight into the whole scheme of things here at USC-Playworld USA. We are most blessed with a play radio-station, play hospital, play police force and now with the inception of Mr. Clarkson upon the scene it is evident that we now have a student who is playing the role of a crusading lawyer. How incredibly similar this'situation is to Plasticville, USA on a Lionel Train village. The list is seemingly endless, a play government, play church, play post office............. Richmond Neely ..The College of Journalism does not publish The Gamecock. It is published by the USC Board of Publications and Communications. -Editor. "Jkaccuse." As regards the recent con spiratorial campaign to besmirch my irreproachable character by casting spurious allegations and. mendacious innuendoes on my own impeccable conduct during the performance of those duties prescribed to me by that great and honored office to which I was duly Ec 700 (BIC"' 'ur Mal elected (i.e.,'the vice-presidency of the University Union Artist Series, 1972-73), let me state categorically that I am innocent of all wrong doing (see editorial "Beg Your Pardon" GAMECOCK, October 15). Furthermore, I will under no circumstances sit idly by while the University Press condemns me through headlines, prosecutes me by editorial, and convicts me by influencing public opinion. Nor, to avert the painful spotlight of public infamy from its more rightful illumination of the Union-at-large, will I allow myself to be found gulty of receiving kickbacks from student funding in order to "wine and dine" myself and other committee members at the Top of Carolina restaurant. Neither will I serve as a scapegoat for that in famous pair of scalawags, Susan "Sticky Fingers" Bryan and Jacob "Sleight - of-Hand Shuford (chair woman and chairman, * respec tively, Artist Series, fall 1972. Spring, 1971). In closing, I wish to refute all rumors to the effect that I intend to resign the office which I held last year. Besides, I know damn well that the Justice Department is behind all this. Yours most innocently, Greg Jackson - Stomach Grumbles To The Editor Due to regulations of the dor mitories students are not allowed to cook in their rooms; due to the transportation problem in the city students almost have to eat on campus. This leaves the University Dining Services to be the only alternative. As most of the students here at USC know this is not much of an alternative. The purpose of our letter is to bring this fact to the attention of the few who can improve the dining services on campus. We are not only going to direct our attention to the taste of the food, (WHICH IS TERRIBLE ), but also the service and the prices. For those of you who do not .know it is quite common to see someone leave hungry with food left on their plate. onomic (200 miles! gol my Away Plan Availabl< Sunset Blvd. Ph. 796-2 CLE RETRICTIONS NI This scene, if at breakfast could be due to the watery scrambled eggs, the burned left over hard toast if there is any toast, and-or the waffles and syrup, (SUGAR AND WATER), which are almost uneatable. We could go on and on about how bad the food is but it is quite obvious to anyone who has eaten there. The main problem with the service is the location of the grill in the center of the serving line. Anyone waiting for a hamburger or an omelet causes the rest of the people to be held up and it also causes chaos in the center of the serving line. We think that if the Dining Service would hire some cashiers who could add, the students might know the price of their breakfast from one morning to the next. Maybe if the students are lucky the Dining Service will aquire a manager interested in the cafeteria and not in drinking coffee like the approximately thirty five they now have employed. Maybe this slack - managerial system is the cause of such high prices charged by the Dining Service. It seems that the University Dining Services should be able to beat the prices of a privately owned restaurant and the quality of the food at that price, but is seems exactly opposite. We are tired of the ice cream scoop way of measuring eggs and if this is the size of one scrambled egg we would like to know the type of eggs they are using (chicken or quail). University students, save the Frats, are known to be a group of low economic level, how does the University Dining Service get away with their exorbitant prices. We suggest they employ a system of a basic price per meal. $1.00 for breakfast and 1.50 for lunch and supper seems reasonable. We have seen this system work on other campuses and would like to see it put into effect on this one. It is evident that A.R.A. (Automatic Retailers of America) is not doing the best job possible. Since students are the ones af fected by their job we should see to it that their standards are im proved and and maybe even go so far as to get rid of A.R.A. A boycott would be detrimental to the University Dining Service and A.R.A. James L. May Ray N. Woods .) 447 .Y)
