Recession fi USC Board's Although expected to be presented with a number of more pressing proposals, the USC athletic situation is sure to be the main topic of discussion behind the closed doors of the Board of Trustee's meeting next week. The Board is expected to clarify the confusing situation it created last month with the ap pointment of two associate directors of athletics. The name Paul Dietzel will crop up in their discussions, now that the former athletic director has .accepted the somewhat meaningless title of vice president for University relations. The board will be expected to explain Dietzel's job, and the expected $35,000 salary that goes with it, and just how he fits into the general scheme of things over at the athletic department. By avoiding the decision of naming a lone athletic director, in fear of stepping one some well-placed toes, a.k.a. Frank McGuire, the Board has displayed an unusual talent for creating chaos out of what should have been a simple transition of power within USC's football program. Just what all this will cost the University has yet to be announced by the Board. But, some estimates are in order. Jim Carlen's talents will cost USC $40,200 a year for five years. Both McGuire and Bo Hagan will undoubtedly get hefty raises as result of their additional duties, whatever they may be. Mathematically, then, the decision is at least a $50,000 investment toward what is already an over-financed athletic department. Whether the department will now ask the Board for an in crease in students' athletic fees, is still in question. LUNCHI . SHIMMY'S R 111 Lad Columk Tel.

To every 15th person w4 style By Bill Grant With the national unemployment figure hovering over 7 per cent, it is comforting to know that our University has initiated its own recession-fighting measures. Hiring four people for two jobs and creating vice presidencies right and left will no doubt have a favorable effect on Columbia labor statistics. Hopefully, the Board will get around to shedding a little more light on its murky decision and perhaps will even set forth some guidelines concerning the duties and responsibilities of everyone concerned in the shake-up. Green Street Decision With one decision behind us, the final chapter in the 20-year history of battle to close Green Street is about to be written. A study, commissioned by the University for the city of Columbia, of Green Street traffic problems is expected to be heard by the city council in the next few weeks. The study, conducted during the 45-day closing last semester, is now in the hands of Columbia City Manager Gray Olive. Olive admitted late last week he hadn't read the results of the survey as yet, but in the past has said he favors a some sort of closing plan. However, the project may run into trouble on another front. The University will begin con struction on the $8.4 million Cultural Center shortly, thus disrupting traffic on Senate Street, which runs parallel to Green. Campus and city authorities are said to be against any plan which would close the two streets simultaneously. If that is the case, city officials are again likely to postpone the Green Street closing indefinitely. EON AT. "YWS .09 ESTAURANT y Street >ia, S.C. 254-4492 iys A Week 4:00 P.M. Until 0 P.M.

The author of the letter, Doug Williams, severely criticized the "Jones" article written by Kathy Edwards and Lynne Perri. First of all, when I asked people what they thought of the article, I encountered nothing but praise for the female journalists, and most people said that it was the best article they had seen all year in The Gamecock. I myself was very much Impressed with the "Jones" story, and I feel that Edwards and Perri did an excellent job. But what do I know? After all, I wasn't editor of The Gamecock at the time that President Jones announced his decision to retire. Doug Williams was, and it was he who became the pawn of Sig Huitt and Information Services when, after waiting until press time for a "scoop" from Huitt, he was forced to print the same public relations CIA: More tha From Page 10 maintain first-rate intelligence systems.

This is a giant first step forward in halting man's race to obliviqn. Unfortunately these vital con tributions of the intelligence community to national security and the avoidance of ther monuclear holocaust are lost sight of in the flood of publicity which accompanies spectacular foreign escapades such as the Bay of Pigs or extralegal, sideline excursions into domestic espionage which have little or nothing to do with the primary functions of intelligence.
