Allocations— Gun control not
from p. 1
The committee decided also
to use the Student Register as
their guide for determining
which student clubs would
receive funds Any organiza
tion not registered with
Student Activities would not be
granted monies from student
activities funds
On May 20. the senate
directed the committee to
expand salary guidelines and
to set aside money for school
councils The senate supported
designating salaries for “stu
dent leadership positions.”
The committee agreed to set
money aside for the school
councils and wavered from the
policy of across the board
salary cuts by allowing one
salary for the Student
Judiciary, for the position of
chief justice
On May 26. the committee
finished hearings on the
student allocations and sent
the budget to the senate for
review and approval. The
committee had previously
made known its feeling the
senate should not have the
power to alter the budget,
arguing the committee was a
separate entity which the
senate body had no power by
which to do so
The Senate, following a
position of support for student
salaries, subsequently revised
the budget It set an increase
in The Red and Black budget
of $11,000, and approved an
increase in WL'OG’s request,
designated for salaries
However, the allocations
committee vehemently protest
ed the senate had no right to
up the paper’s budget and
demanded any revisions be
made by the committee The
senate recalled The Red and
Black decision and turned it
over to the committee, which
approved an increase from
$14,500 to $17,500.
After three days of review
the senate approved the
budget by a vote of u io

HELLO. *

(The Advent Reply.)
THREE OR FOUR
PEOPLE ANSWERED
FROM BED, ONE WAS
IN A TAXICAB IN
-MILWAUKEE, PRAC
TICALLY EVERYONE
LIKED THE IDEA,
AND YES IT WAS FUN.
A little while ago. we (Advent) ran a kind of
survey in .his publication (and some other*),
asking for your views on stereo equipment and
whatever else you wanted to talk about.
More than a thousand people so far have
taken the trouble to reply a healthy number.
es»|n««Tally sin* i practically everyone replied in
full. Our thanks, here and now. to all of them
(you i.
A lot of |M-oplc thought it would be pretty
interesting and enjoyable for lift to read through
the replies It was
A lot of people also thought it would he next-
to ini|M»ssihle for u» to quantify all the things
people related into the usual hard statistics
It was (A little !ike trying to describe life by
the numbers.) Hut we did come up with some
interesting statistical stuff that we hope to be
able to s«*nd out to the people who aiktd for it
before too long.
In the meantime, we ll use this ad to report
on the feelings that |x ople brought up the most
in their replies
On math i> relating to stereo equipment, for
instance
► Recorded music h a major kind of nourish
ment for an awful lot of people. (A few of them
actually expressed worry about the degree to
which they depended on it ) And nwist people
were willing to spend a healthy amount of
money fan average of $70U*.$l,000) to get really
good equipment on which to listen to it. To
quote K (Kathryn? Kathleen° Karen 0 ) Fite of
Austin. Texas, on her stereo system: “It’s more
than a recreational toy; it’s access through
music (rock, classical, whatever) to feelings,
philosophy, and to my own understanding of
living.”
► Most people ficrnicd to think that stereo com
ponents are the most satisfying category of
product around these days. And while there was
some dissatisfaction with some brands of equip
ment. most people Burned to like what they
own. (They wouldn’t all do it again, but they
didn't mind having done it.)
► A lot of people went to lengths to say that
quality of record« was mostly terrible (in terms
of extraneous noise. war|ied records, and other
manufacturing defects). They consistently
pointed to major label* as sons* of the worst
example*.
► Almost everyone who had anything to say
about stereo (and other) advertising said it was
mostly hype and they mostly hated it.
► Many people preferred to stay away from the
bigger chain, appliance, and discount stores for
their audio shopping experiences (That kind of
figure, of course, reflects the fact that somebody
who would take the trouble to answer our long
list of survey questions would be more active
and selective than the average person in looking
for stereo equipment) Practically everyone at
least wanted some breathing room in a store
and the chance to listen to equipment, and most
people (unsurprisingly) wanted to deal with
knowledgeuhle and non-pushy salespeople. (We
do too.)
► Most people (a good majority anyway)
seemed to feel that most salesmen aren't ter
rifically knowledgeable. But quite a few people
pointed to good experiences in stores, and some
went out of their way to single out a person (or
at least a store) as unusually informative. No
body, as you would expect, liked being conned
► A number of people who liked to shop in one
kind of store wound up buying in another
because of price, but not as many as we expected
- and not enough to drive the others out of
business
► Some 90-95** of the people owning our
equipment said they were satisfied with it,
which made us feel good. (We had to keep in
mind, again, that our survey was bound to be
“skewed,” with happy Advent owners being
more likely to respond than unhappy ones But
it still made us feel good ) Not all of them would
buy it again now. mostly because they think
some of the "new and improved" models from
other companies must have something to them.
(It ain't necesaarily to, though.)
► The moat ambitious stereo system described
was worth more than $20,000 and contained not
one name-brand (big name or small name) com
ponent in the “consumer" area. (Everything was
custom-made studio-style equipment.) And the
least ambitious system contained "transistors,
screws, wires, solder, dust and a cricket.**
► Finally. an awful lot of people said that stereo
components were the only consumer products
they found satisfying-and that most of the
other goods they came acroas were of poor work
manship and mediocre design
Now. as to things people expressed on non
stereo matters in the world sround them:
► A lot of people who were working hated or
were at least bored silly by their jobs, especially
the person who had double ma)ored in Russian
studies and is currently an inspector in a steel
mill. (A lot of those people in turn thought it
might be fun to work for us and asked about
jobs. We aren’t sure yet what to do with their
requests, but we are holding onto them.) Four of
the happier sounding jobholders were driving
cabs, including our headliner from Milwaukee
and the driver (part-time, anyway) of Checker
“29 in Boston.
► Lota of people who talked about the world at
large said that the big thing was that very few
people seem to care anymore, and that human
values were fading fast in today's society. A few
mentioned nuclear power as a big worry, and
some the neutron bomb. But the big thing was
the lower content of human qualities in every
day life.
► But, to finish these entries, many people who
were disturbed by the world still found plenty
to enjoy in it. Michael Campbell of Lake
Katrine, New York, for instance, started off by
citing the lowered quality of life and goods cur
rently, but wound up saying this:
“Not to panic, though. I’m not totally dis
illusioned. Good products are available; the few
things you see done correctly (and even well) at
work make up for the Itluge of bad things; and
the feeling you get after talking, etc., with a
good person, friend, or anyone far surpasses the
let down of a bad encounter
"We’ll survive after all.”
Amen to that. And once again our thanks to
all who replied to our survey, and to the many
who said they enjoyed answering it. We may
not be able to respond personally to all the peo
pie who deserve personal letters (there are very
few of us to cope with a large volume of mail at
the moment), but we will try.
For those of you who didn’t receive informs
tion on our equipment, or would like to now,
there's a coupon below
Our best to all, including Mimi in Murfreea
boro. North Carolina.

By BRIAN O'SHEA
Staff writer
Chief David Saye of campus
police believes gun control
would not work in this country.
Speaking Wednesday at the
Ideas and Issues Forum in
South PJ. Saye said a law's
effectiveness depends on public
support
“When they send us out to
take away people's guns,
people are going to say. ‘to hell
with law enforcement' and we
(the police! are going to lose
every bit of support we ever
had." he added
Saye cited crime studies
from 1975 showing 66 percent
of all murders in the United
States are committed with
firearms. "I'm not blaming
firearms for the commissions
of the crimes, but firearms are
an integral part of the crimes
committed.' he said.
Under what Saye called
“very radical measures." ef
fective meaures could be taken
to reduce crimes committed
with handguns However, he
said. “I do not believe that
people In this country would be
willing to give up the freedoms
that would he necessary in
controlling the possessions or
sale of handguns or any type of
firearms."
Saye said enforcement of
effective handgun legislation
would violate the fourth
amendment freedom from
unreasonable search and sei
zure He said no law enforce
ment agency can enforce strict
gun control laws without
extremely broad powers which
“I would be afraid to have."
"People feel they have the
right to bear arms." he added
Despite federal laws con
cerning the registration of
handguns and state and local
statutes on handgun owner
ship. there has been no
significant decrease in hand
gun related crimes." Saye
said “There's no problem in
enforcing them (the existing
laws).
One state law requiring
those carrying handguns de
feats itself, according to Saye
After the license is issued, the
gun owner can legally carry
the weapon concealed. Saye
said.
“It’s easy for people down at
the Capital to legislate and say
It shall be done.’ but there
never seems to be enough
money to enforce the law.”
Saye said.
Saye believes gun control
legislation would have no
impact even with public support
port. "Even if people were
willing to give up the right to
bear arms, and we could
search and seize weapons, we
would likely be displacing that
crime." he said People would
find alternatives to a gun
“They might use a knife." he
added.
Although gun control would
cut down on accidental deaths.
Save said, deaths from domes
tic quarrels would probably not
decrease. "I’ve seen a lot of
'em where a gun wasn't there
and they would pick up a stick
or a knife or a rock." he
added.
In order for gun control laws
to pass, “there would have to
be a tremendous loss of
freedom in this country and I
don't see that happening,”
Saye said.
Save believes “very little
can be done" to solve fhe
handgun controversy.
“People have been killing
each other since the beginning
of time and I expect they’re
still going to be killing each
other when we're cold and in
our graves.”
The only solution Saye sees
is to educate the public in the
uses and dangers of handguns.
"Education is the key thing
that can be done in this
country." he said.
