Concert series another excuse for arts center USC President James B. Holderman and his office have scheduled the Carolina Concerts Series beginning March 4 in the Carolina Coliseum. The series' performances include Marvin Hamlisch, the Pittsburgh Ballet Theater and the Norman Luboff Choir. A series of this magnitude is rare in Columbia and worth attending. The tact that students will be admitted free will provide them with some incentive to attend and the general public will probably be able to afford tickets for the series. It should be a success. THIS IS the first cultural series planned by Holderman's office and it is an admirable idea. But since the interest was not displayed before for bringing these performances to town, it appears to be yet another ploy to show the state authorities how advantageous an arts center would be. This is not the first USC project used to push the center. Holderman has consistently maintained that thp nronns^H arts center would be the most appropriate home for the Movietone News films. The USC music, media arts and theater departments are also bursting with projects that they claim only an arts center could adequately accomodate. The longer the list of projects that would be enhanced by the arts center, the more impressed the state Budget and Control Board will be. The coliseum is not as effective as an arts center would be for types of performances planned in the concert series. By convincing state officials that USC and Columbia can attract these performances, Holderman can further convince them that an arts center would not only be beneficial, but a necessity. iiufiojci otuucru is appreciated To the Editor: would be able to enter on About Christmastime, such short notice, especially very severe family problems to a school the size of USC. of a personal nature occured However, three days to me, and I was attending before the end of late Western Michigan registration, the transcript University at the time. arrived, and it was rirrnmstanops Hppmpri it fit nrrv?p?c<iH in chnrt nrHor that I return home to South Thirty minutes after I called Carolina in order to help my to verify the transcript, I family through these times. was told to proceed through Of course, this also meant a late registration. rather quick transfer to a I would like to thank those school where I could con- people in the Office of Ad tinue my education, yet still missions that made my be within close proximity to transfer such a quick one, those who needed me most. and to all those people from As one might very well professors, advisors and imagine, going through the students whose help in the bureaucracy of a large days following made my northern university for the transition equally as easy.

ITrtitnr COSt 0 In view of recent developments concerning nuclear power ai 0U1 in South Carolina, with emphasis on the Barnwell Nuclear di"oni Fuel Plant, it seems an appropriate time for South f750,..1 Carolinians to take a close look at decisions being made that could determine the entire future of nuclear power, and could bikini have a disastrous effect on the state's environment. from. President Reagan's Department of Energy transition team ra|eshas recommended that the federal government buy the fuel . *n " reprocessing plant, located in Barnwell S.C., and convert it m(*ust into an international fuel storage and reprocessing center. If ei this proposal were to be enacted, citizens of our state could ^con expect to see thousands of shipments of high-level nuclear waste on our highways and railways every year, with no nangii absolute guarantee that serious accidents can be prevented. ?.w. The most disturbing aspect of this situation is South Carolina we" * will be accepting the full brunt of the hazards the nuclear industry cannot help but offer. jj. Sure, the nuclear industry will tell you how safe direct reprocessing spent fuel is, but they neglect to mention that six fires have broken out at a similar reprocessing plant in France, the last of which severely contaminated many of it's employees, not to mention the damage done to the ? ciirrAiinHmrr amrit*Anmnnf Tc? fKip fKn mi?
