This can be especially seen in its attitude towards women's sports...especially gymnastics. I After writing a letter to i President Holderman about the conditions of the USC gymnastics program, I received a most discouraging letter describing the shortage of budget funds for the sport. I have also been told by high school coaches that the high school gymnastics programs have been cut due to the immense danger of the sport. In the latest issue of the Gamecock I was shocked to See? that USC n;iiH $754,149 for a bubble over the soccer field. Think of how many potential star gymnasts could have used that money to promote their fastgrowing, popular sport. nam ecock I O'.IIMllM NJ'-jv-.rnnm l i t ' U? < l>'* ,<HHM " ft I I j H.iOt <x K I -PV I > .! vVf.n- - 'si.-/.: I j v ,...!?> n?.f ?i.'c? n ml Mi'V".

Most of the excellent gymnasts are but in their teens, so many college girls want to enjoy the sport as long as they can. As for danger, how many football players get hurt in just one game? PLENTY! If a gymnast is well trained, she knows t the correct maneuvers 111 which to fall safely from equipment without injury Speaking from ex penence, anyone can kick a ball around (under a $754,149 bubble), but it takes a lot more courage and determination to develop a gymnast.

I'd only like to make three comments about that letter. It seemed that Mr. Healy was very concerned about the violation of human rights in Russia and Cuba. He mentioned that "with Communism you have no human rights at all." Two questions came to my mind when I read that letter. First of all. would you, Mr. Healy. have felt the same way about Christianity if you were living HI int* warn Ages: As you know, what the Churches did to the people was not really what Jesus Christ believed in. So, you wouldn't, I hope, blame Christianity itself but the Churches. Now, do you think that it is right to blame Communism for the human rights violation in Russia or in Cuba? Or is that really what Marx had in mind? I just hope that you, who think that Ms. Crolley "doesn't know a thing about Communism," knew enough about it before writing those words! MR. IIEALY is worried about El Salvador becoming a Communist country. And this is why he supports the millions of dollars of economic and military aids to the Salvadoran govern f SoA / 4 fiOU, the Editor ch is ran 1 a university is that its faculty ] irough teaching, but discovers i therefore a privilege, on this ] i university, as distinguished \ ssors perhaps take teaching j i.

But don't you, Mr * Healy, and your "elected government," who are ( concerned about human ' rights think that other people ( have the right to choose their s own government? If Salvadorans want to ' have a Communist regime, then let them have it! Your government has no right to stop the people by helping the unpopular government. Why do you only see, or want to see, the Russian government's violation of human rights, but not the American Kovernineni s : wny (ion t you blame your own government for giving arms to Israil, Egypt, or South African racist regime? Maybe Mr Healy thinks that we, the believers, should fight against atheism 1 and stop its spreading. True! But why support the despotic f regimes instead of the people? Why support the 1 Shah instead of supporting ana neiping me Iranian Muslims? Don't you think that the believers can fight the atheists better than the unbelievers? I hope Mr. Healy knows J that by supporting and following the government, he will be responsible as well for what will happen in the t future. And finally I want d him to know that he cannot k justify his government's t actions by complaining c about the human rights a violation in Russia!
