Show Notes From Underground Students To Pay? By GORDON IRVING After reading the article on moving mov-ing the Greeks in Tuesday's paper, one was left wondering just what was going on. The Greeks seem to be faced with some vague crisis (there is some indication that the problem is that they need more parking space) which demands that they move to greener pastures. Are the Greeks unhappy where they are? Maybe their houses are too old for them. The article noted that a grave financial burden would be placed on the Greeks ($3,000,000 and more) if they were forced to build new houses. So what? If they can afford it, that's their business. If t h e y can't cough up, it's still their business busi-ness and all they can do is wait until they can, like most other Americans Am-ericans eager to improve their situations. sit-uations. They will have to face the facts of the cold, cruel world outside out-side the Greek system. Now, it's of no possible interest to anyone what the Greeks do so long as they spend their own money. mon-ey. But if they expect the University Univer-sity to build new houses for them, or if they expect the University to give them land (or rent land to them so cheaply as to really be giving giv-ing it to them) it does affect all of us as students. The Greek system is a private social world which has no right to expect to be subsidized by public funds, as would be done by giving them University money. The Greeks are totally independent ol xjni-. xjni-. versity and ought not to be ge a, penny. As a non-Greek (and note well, angry Greeks, that I don't resent that the least little bit I protest the extension of any sort of special privilege to these people now or at any time in the future. They already dominate the University socially and politically; they've perhaps already al-ready gotten more than they deserve. |
