^11 Everybody knows that the I American hostages have 1 been released after 444 days in Iranian captivity. The United States is overjoyed with the return of our citizens. However, not many people are aware of some USC students. 2,300 to be exact, that have been held for 14 years in captivity. They are known as the General Studies hostages. File 13 has the real story behind this Carolina Crisis. The hostages have been held in this appalling state Qf education since 1967 and now, in 1981, the United States of Higher Education is trying to free the captives by eliminating the two-year I program. THE VILLIAN in all this, as you might have guessed, is the Ayatollah board of trustees and his cohort, president Bani Holderman. These pirates are fighting U.S. Education to keep these innocent 2,300 hostages enrolled in nightmare courses like GSTD (General Studies) 241 ? "Office Machines," GSTD 263? "Fashion Internship" and GSTD 308?'"Food/Sanitation Microbiology." On Tuesday before the S.C. General Assembly, the u ~ ~ -i 1 ' ui aiiiwcisueu nosiage spokesman George Rogers tried to persuade the Assembly that the General Studies program should be saved His eyes glazed and voice programmed, Rogers praised the program which has mistreated him for the past four years. Next to him, a smiling Bani Holderman looked on, knowing fully well that he could command an army of USC administrators Two music The South Carolina Chamber Orchestra will present a soloist 8 p.m. concert Saturday at A.H P. rCentennial Church.

Three members of the commission were captured and tied to desks in room 109 where they now hear Tuesday and Thursday lectures on "The Child in His Culture." In September 1979, several members of the jounalism college rescued a class of "Salesmanship" by opening the back door of the classroom. These students were deprogrammed and now live normal lives although they have a cumplusion to sell vacuum cleaners door-to-door. The situation still goes on.

File 13 suggests an unofficial 5,459 ^ days. But this event is little known when compared to the * U.S. hostages. We suggest that until good citizens such as George Rogers and the other 2,299 hostages are released, that we tie rubber bands around trees on campus. The U.S. Commission on Higher Education is doing its best job. Iranian negotiator Behzau Borkowski is still adamantly opposed to releasing the General Studies captives. If war is declared by President Jimmy Bostic, CHE chairman, it's a sure bet that some of the 2,300 will be killed but this is a chance that has to be taken. It might be better than the severe torture they're going through now. MEDIC I jfiss JSi TaKc the monev worries Professions Schoiar^h ; * S48fj a !' C)fl( ? Sc iX.'r !
