I am writing to complain
of the lack of support for the
USC men's basketball team.
1 am in the Pep Band, have
attended every game, and
am quite aware of the lack of
crowd participation. Why do
you people come to tne
games if you aren't going to
j stand up and cheer for your
team?
This past game with
" Furman was a good
example. Not until Carolina
got behind, did the fans
really support the team.
Now don't get me wrong,
there are many students who
come to each game to
support the team, but they

To the Editor:
At the beginning of this
semester, the RHUU music
lounge and recording studio
opened its doors to a
seemingly unresponsive
student body. The $38,000
lounge can accommodate
about thirty students, but I
doubt if many know of its
existence. The lack of
awareness may be due to the
lounge's location, as it is
tucked away on the third
floor west wing. It may,
however, be attributed to

recordings free of charge.
