Gvmna, %/ To the Editor: In representation of the majority of students at USC, we feel that the reasons given for dropping gymnastics from a varsity sport to a club are absurd! As present USC gymnasts, we know that the reasons given are definitely false statements. We nave oeen told personally by President Holderman that the reasons for eliminating gymnastics as a varsity sport are: 1. insufficient funds in the athletic department to continue gymnastics, 2. the lack of competition within the state, 3. the safety involved in gymnastics. If there is not enough funds available in the athletic department, why are they replacing gymnastics with golf? Common sense would lead you to believe MARY HARTMAN IS COMING TO USC1!

Secondly, there are two other learning insuiuiions in soutn Carolina whom we compete against at least once during the season and many within the surrounding states, such as North Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee. More than half of our meets this year were at home, which is more than most of our varsity sports.

If that's the case, all sports should be changed to a club for all sports have a certain amount of danger involved in them. Therefore, we should get in touch with the Olympic Committee and inform them on how dangerous this sport is so they too may discontinue gymnastics as an Olympic event, for fear that they will have a pile of broken bones on their hands.
