GAMECOCK In The Wrong To the Editor: In reference to the article "nite life" written by the self-acclaimed experts Chuck Cromer and Terry Dugas, I would like a formal retraction and apology for stating that we serve 8 oz. drafts when ir fact we serve 10 oz. drafts. I further suggest that in the future, if you have anything to sa about private enterprises it shouk be more of a critical analysis in. stead of a biased opinion. Sincerely, Michael Truelove Manager of the Campus Club Ed.--THE GAMECOCK sin cerely regrets the error concerning the size of the mugs served at the Campus Club. A formal correctioi notice is on Page 2. Other com ments about the article, "Trink, trink .. ." are on this page. Same Error- - Caught Again!

The article stated that eight ounce mugs were served.when in fact both places serve only ten ounce mugs. The statemennt made about the Campus Club, "35 cents for an 8 ounce Blue Ribbon is steep" was totally uncalled for, because their 10 ounce mugs for 35 cents is one of the better deals around. When I asked Chuck Cromer if he bothered to measure the mugs at either place he replied, "No, I know an eight ounce mug when I see one." This implies to me that Chuck Cromer is blind. I believe that the reporters for THE GAMECOCK should have their facts straight before submitting articles for print. Noticeable damage to the business of these two bars could result due to this inept reporting. Respectfully, Brad S. Wehler Ed.--THE GAMECOCK sin cerely regrets the error concerning the size of the beer mugs served at the two establishments you mentioned. The error was unin tentional. In general, the article "Trink, trink. . ." was an analysis, and therefore represented the opinions of our writers only. Though the article was not labled S"analysis," as it should have been, 1the general tone of the article, we felt, implied the value-judgement nature of the story. Also, the last paragraph said, "No one beer hall Sis better than another. Some just v suit one person's personality better than another." Parking Complaint e To the Editor: I The students of the University y e e o -r14 PcouoMtC. FoNrr we NAw ME Is SAD NEWS AMD 0E oBE MES.. have another rip-off to add to the ever-growing list. Last spring the student body had the opportunity to vote on a controversial issue concerning transformation of an athletic field into a parking lot. By a visible majority, the students voted in favor of keeping the field a parking lot, but the administration obviously had other ideas. According to the last addition of The Gamecock, the University sells approximately 7,227 bumper stickers while only providing 3,894 parking spaces. Many students are beginvng to wonder if the administration really wants to solve this problem. They certainly haven't given any indication that they really care one way or the other. All Dean Brunton needs now is for modern technology to invent the "Astro student." Like astro turf, the "Astro student" would need almost no care while inately serving the same function as the real stuff. How much more of this rip-off are the students willing to tolerate? How many more flagrant violations of students' rights will this University's ad ministration be able to get away oLve wth rbe. thilde BrutanL haven't given finy inditine ta these qellyonsr oinwy the ts KAlli Denuntonnesnwi forimertcooue to ieonto the grAtst sls o h student."
