Show fe Idfcf Pick your pleasure Editor: I would like to admend the editorial of April 20,1971 concerning con-cerning the $5 athletic fee. Why not allow students to decide themselves where this portion of their student activity fee is to be alloted? On paying tuition, we could check a box designating where we want the money to be spent: theater, music, athletics, speakers, movies, etc. When we pay our tuition, we could be given a "free pass" card allowing us free entrance to the events we have spent our money toward. This seems the most fair way for all the students. L. Cottle 0 choice of accomodations made available.

This objection is based upon two points, the first being that the location of this student housing complex is too far removed from the campus, isolating it from the very community of which it is suppose to be a part. Why is the administration so afraid of creating creat-ing a real, integrated community of students, creating instead isolated iso-lated subcommunities of single students, married students, sororities sorori-ties and fraternites and foreign students? Certainly there are some community needs that are common com-mon to all students that are serviceable ser-viceable from central facilities. There are many acres of "on campus" land that could be made available for student housing and, with proper planning, sufficient Need open policy Editor: I think that the problem with obtaining the financial reports of the Sports and Special Events Center is a symptom of a larger University problem. The University Univer-sity doesn't want anyone to know what it is doing until it is too late to do anything about it. Those running the school are an elite clique who seldom if ever consult anyone else.
