The new proposal would Editorial use six weighted criteria and class distinctions to rework the funding for individual departments. But this new plan gives many departments the short shrift and threatens to destroy their ability to be a solid, scholarly academic program. For example, the chemistry department would lose more than $23,000 – or about 45 percent – in library resource funding under the current plan. Overall, science takes a major hit – with many departments losing twice the amount of their cur- rent library resource funds. The whole area could be undermined. But the potential benefits to other departments make a new library formula too good to pass up. Education desperately needs new materials to assist its students. In the current formula educa- tion would get 221 percent more, or $36,900. A good idea would be to leave the current funding as is and utilize the new money obtained through monetary gains to improve library re- sources. The formula also needs to be a recali- brated; minors aren’t counted for certain depart- ments. It also seems disproportionate to count weight costs by five but student use is given a weight of one.

Charleston resident Sue Dillman shrugs off a barrage of expletives coming from an automobile hurtling down Lincoln Ave. Friday night. The four young men in the car scream, “We want tits” and “Where’s the titty bar?” as the car whizzes by a cascade of picket signs illuminated by neon signs in front of University Village. “I guess that’s to be expected,” Dillman says while discussing an issue which has had both students and residents talking for the last three weekends. It is 9:15 p.m., and Dillman would rather be relaxing at home with her family. But Dillman, one of about 70 peo- ple picketing the topless dancing at Panther’s Lounge, continues to protest. She believes it is important for the com- munity to eliminate this latest offering of a bar alternative. “I think a lot of us here just want to stand up for what’s right,” Dillman said. “Hopefully we can get enough people here to get (topless dancing) out of our town.” Ashmore resident Paul Smith amplifies Dillman’s sentiments, stating he believes in the often- heard argument that topless dancing degrades women. “I think people who see this dancing get a warped idea of inti- mate relationships between men and women,” Smith said. It is now 9:30 p.m. and several stu- dents as well as Charleston residents shuffle into Panther’s, slapping down the $3 cover charge. Very few chairs are filled as the dancers arrive. But Steve, an 18-year old Charleston resident, said he wanted to get at the bar early to “get a front row seat.” Sipping on a carbonated beverage (alcohol is banned because Panther’s no longer has a liquor license), he divulges his take on this issue.
