The Gutenburg A Fitt Dedication ceremonies were held today for the Harold Brunton Memorial Bridge at the corner of College and Pickens Streets at the University of South Carolina. Brunton was Vice-President of Business Affairs during his tenure at the university. He died a short while ago of an apoplectic attack after he was told that "money isn't everything." The ceremonies began with the playing of "If I Were a Rich Man" from "Fiddler on the Roof" by the USC band. The band then continued with the Three Dog Night song "Celebrate,," followed by the USC alma mater, during which the entire group rose and held their hands out, palms open, in a symbolic gesture of wanting money. The first speaker on the platform was USC athletic director Paul Dietzel, who called Brunton "the finest Christian money-grubber I've ever worked with." "Many people will recall the fantastic deal in smoke-filled rooms that he made," Dietzel said. "he was a crook in every sense of the word, but a fine one dedicated to the University and to the world. TO THE EDITOR: It has come to my attention that blatant discrimination was utilized in sorority rush this semester by the president of the Panhellinic Council-Betsy Watson. Two Jewish girls were told that in order to pledge a sorority they would be required to take and believe in an oath contrary to their religious convictions. It is very sad that Ms. Watson spoke on behalf of all sororities when in fact she was only representing one. Being jewish myself, I didn't think people like this still existed-and it appalis me to think that a person of this caliber is in any type of leadership position. Gerry Bielsky TO THE EDITOR: Prohibition of smoking in classrooms is the topic of a bill to be presented at the 'next meeting of the Student Senate, Wednesday Nov. 14. This is one of my favorite topics, since I can't stand smoking in confined areas like classrooms. I don't know what can be done .about it, since the professor often smokes and allows students to smoke. I am not man enough to endure cigarette smoke. It really knocks me out. One day, I intend to take a bottle of skunk essence with me to a particularly smoky class. I will then p)roceed to uncap it and breathe the noxious fumes (which will also p)ermeate the air in the (lr-inmrnm. When immediate Experiment ng Mei By Harry Hope Associate Editor "True, he loved the green of the cash, true he loved the sound of money jingling, but, through it all, he was as un principled as the rest of us," Dietzel said. Following Dietzel's speech, there was a reading of choice passages of Shylock's dialogue from the "Merchant of Venice" by Shakespeare. The reading was done by USC poet in-residence James Dickey, who followed the reading with the introduction of a brand-new poem, "Money, Sin, Cash, Greed and Green." Part of the poem was: "and so he stood in might, in drooling Brunton, the hero, the man, who got me fifty-six thousand a year for teaching only two classes a week..." UR MAI complaints are raised, I will reply, "YOU'VE GOT YOUR HABIT BUDDY, AND I'VE GOT MINE!" Ralph B. Hanahan; Jr. TO THE EDITOR: I had the pleasure(???) of eating breakfast at the Russell House this morning. I came up to visit my brother and was not aware of the eating facilitics the university had to offer the students. He suggested this was something not to be missed (I certainly missed the facetiousness in his voice). I was amazed by the casier and the way she arrived at the total price for the meal. She actually counted on her fingers and tried to add in her head the cost of the meal. She then wrote down the total figure and added the tax; how she arrived at the total,l'l1l never know. We feel as though we were ripped off for our breakfast, but she couldn't see It. It seems to me, if she would add each item on the cash register(so one could see how much one is actually paying for each item) this would be somewhat of a more accurate figure. One more thing-it seemed as though there was an abundance of flies in the dining area. (Does this mean there is garbage around???) Otherwise, the meal was fair. Maureen B. Sims Charleston S.C. TO THE EDITOR: I wish to take exception to a letter written by C. 3. Faxworth noriaL After Dickey's reading, USC president Dr. Thomas F. Jones gave the eulogy, in which he said that "Brunton's courage in wheeling and dealing will serve.as a reminder to us all. that the might of the capatalistic system is the power of the purse. "This man single-handedly razed half of the city of Columbia-transforming acres and acres of green trees and sweet-smelling lawns to awesome monuments of concrete and steel girders. "His inventiveness in providing logical-sounding excuses for his actions have resulted in an architecturally uniform campus for the sons, and daughters of the state," Jones said. "It will be a long time before we see the likes of this money-grubbing SOB again." The ceremonies concluded with the breaking of a martini jigger over the railing and the pitching of pennies onto the ramp, which is five feet above the ground. First to walk under the bridge were Dr. and Mrs. Jones, followed by Mr. and Mrs. Michael J. Mungo. Mungo was heard to utter "Tom, I'll give you $35,000 for this property." L and published in your October 29th edition in which he exclaims "Boy, are we mad!" I refer to the reference to "our lazy campus operators". I must say that I happen to know each of these ladies personally and I can truthfully attest to the fact that they are not lazy and are doing a great job under the pressures and trying circumstances they contend with. It may help everyone if the communications department made the University's general public aware of the fact that when one gets a coritinuous ring it does not mean that the operators are out having a beer or shooting the bull. The system is so devised that your call coming in begins to seek an open line and if there is none it continues to ring rather than give you a busy signal which would cause you to hang up and redial again and again. This would really make you "mad" as in "mad". Your call continues to ring in until it locates an open line and it then goes in and lights up on the board which the operator handles as quickly as possible. We the users of the system must realize that there are only thz'ee positions held down by two regular operators and the third by an "extra" or "fill-in". They get all kinds of time con suming queries from within and without the UnIversity. So----, be a little understanding and patient and I am sure they will cooperate with you as they always have with me. Ralph Fiedan.
