Dear Editor: lt does not surprise me that your newspaper would come out in favor of the new parking fee schedules proposed by the Board of Trustees, and already sent for approval to the State Board, in violation of the Faculty Senate Constitution, which provides for review and suspensive veto of all new college policy Cpending a personal appearance by the Presi- dent before the Senate to explain and defend such policyj . . . although students will not benefit financially, faculty would now have to cough it up at the same rate as students. The only nonselfish defense I have heard of is that of equality. Now, equality always sounds good. It has a democratic ring to it. But if students and faculty are to be treated as equals, then we ought to do something about the other inequities. We do not pay library fees, we do not pay activity fees, we do not have to return library books or records on a par- ticular date . . . In fact, horror of horrors, while students pay to come to class, we come to the same class and are paid! Either we must set about correcting all of these inequities, or there is something wrong with mindlessly applying the concept of equality to students and faculty. . . . The role of the students and faculty, respectively, are different. The student is paying for a service, while the pro- fessor is supplying that service. Although I undoubtedly learn much from my students in the course of a semester, that is not what l'm being paid for .... lf a student can't find parking he can simply cut his class, after all, he has unlim- ited cuts. But I can't cut my class. I must be there, and I don't see why I must pay a fee in order to do my job. . . . If the new fee schedule goes into effect, I expect to do much more walking to my classes . . . Then students will get a real bonus out of the new schedules, for they can have access to those privileged upfront faculty parking spots which they've been coveting all these years.

Young people in New Jersey between the ages of 18 and 21 assumed all the basic civil and contractual rights and obligations previously reserved for 21 year olds when the Age of Majority Law became effective January 1, 1973. Among the many provisions are: 1. The right of adoption. 2. The right to buy, sell, and drink alcohol. 3. The right to buy and sell property. 4. The right to enter into a contract. 5. The right to participate in legalized gambling.. 6. The right to serve on governing boards or seek public office. 7. The right or duty to serve on a iury. 8. The right to marry and divorce. 9. The right to be treated as an adult in school. 10. The right to file suit and be sued. Many young people have been affected by the various new rights and responsibilities, however the lowering of the drinking age has had a well noted effect on the students at Glassboro State. Except for a few individuals who decided to brave the cold and search for new horizons, it seemed like all of GSC found a home at the Franklin House, January 2. ,-.1?7-T-T.W..:, IA r K 1 t....1re .1 , , . - 1 1 slit 4 'J 'l'1'lf'is'lvl,n' 71 I'l1l r ggwcws -' 2 ml ti 'l ' . i Q 1 illllwlzl - :iff si' 2-,3 lii'l ,' Y, HQ! 1 41,13 I - V, .'g . rl fa 1 .

6 X A2250 .uiUf?f To the Class of 1973: It is hard to believe that it has been four years since many of you first came to this campus. Much has happened in these years. We have seen the campus grow as the Wilson Music Building was completed, the Robinson Building and the long awaited Student Union well begun. We have grown in numbers from 4,000 to 6,200 full time students. New programs have been added. But it is your own growth, personal and intellectual, which is far more important than growth in size or complexity of the College. This growth has indeed occurred. The College is proud of your achievements in the classroom, on the playing fields, in the whole campus world. You have our very best wishes for continuing achievement in the years beyond college. And may all of us enjoy the blessings of peace wherever we may be. Sincerely, !f Z- Mark M. Chamberlain President MMC:jg 'F'---,. 1.4
