Everybody knows that the I
American hostages have I
been released after 444 days I
in Iranian captivity. The I
United States is overjoyed I
with the rpturn of our 8
citizens.
However, not many people
are aware of some USC
student?, 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
program.
THE VILLI AN 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
brainwashed hostage
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

to seize the S.C. house
chamber. Algerian
Governor Dick Riley acted
as an intermediary. Riley is
working out some details of
the hostages release, but the
Ayatollah board of trustees
becomes m re old and senile
each day.
Reports inside the General
Studies classrooms read like
horror stories. Thousands of
students brainwashed in
"Creative Activities Labs"
where they are told to be
silent of face having to take
taxing multiple choice
examinations. Some have to
write shorthand until their
hands cramp. Still other
poor souls must type with
fewer than 10 errors per
paragraph

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.

ministrative militants have
held the hostages. 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
Behzad 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.
