Disorders Follow Pattern
Riots and other disorders on
college campuses have been
following a predictable order,
according to the assistant to
the president of the University
Whitten Village Budget
Request Is $1.1 Million
A thief or thieves broke
into Johnson Brothers Super
market at 800 South Broad
Street last weekend and took
$73 in change.
Entry was gained through a
rear window late Sunday night
or early Monday.
BRONZE STAR—The Bronze Star medal for “out
standingly meritorious service in connection with
military operations against a hostile force in the
Republic of Vietnam” is presented to Staff Ser
geant Allen D. Stanford (right) by Col. William
B. Tuttle, Jr., professor of mitilary science at
Presbyterian College. Stanford has served for
more than a year as supply non-commissioned
officer of the ROTC unit at PC- The Bronze Star
was awarded in recognition of his performance in
from September, 1968, to September,
1969,
of South Carolina.
Harry (Sid) Varney, a former
assistant football coach at
Presbyterian College, told
Clinton Rotarians Tuesday,
said, “We have studied the dis
orders on our campus and on
other campuses across the na
tion and we find they all follow
the same general pattern.*
He said, “First they’ll have a
peaceful, nonviolent rally about
some issue. They’ll set up some
non-negotiable demands and
then they’ll have a march which
generally is poorly organized at
the start. Then they’ll get a
few slogans to shout.
t “The second step is when the
militants begin to take over.
This is usually 25 to 35 young
people. We’ve checked all a-
round the country and have found
that it’s generally about the
same number 25 to 35 hard
core revolutionaries who move
in and take over the movement.
Tension mounts and the
academic atmosphere almost
vanishes. It reminds me of
guerilla warfare.
“Then they’ll take over a
building usually peacefully and
they’ll start to circulate re
ports that outside agitators are
coming in.
“Eventually, law enforcement
agencies are called in. They are
spat upon and antagonized until
someone lashes out at the de
monstrators. Then the moder
ates side with the demonstra
tors. it seems that once a de-
monstrater is hit, It polarizes
support for the agitators - re
gardless of what the demonstra
tors had done to provoke the
incident
“Throughout it all, they want a
confrontation. Regardless of the
concessions they receive, they
are determined to have their
confrontation.*
Varney said there generally
are four types of students who
are involved in the disorders:
(1) Communistic inspired agi-
taters (“We had more problems
with our students after they went
to a march in Washington*);
(2) radical left reactionaries;
(3) ‘sheep’ who are willing to
join any cause just to be a part
of something; (4) some who
search for glory through mob
action and some who feel they
are incapable of making any
other kind of impression or
contribution to the world.
Varney said that his advice
to parents of college-age young
people is this: “Tell them to
think long and hard before join
ing in even a non-violent de
monstration. They often are
only the first step in a major
disorder.*
Concerning the reasons be
hind such disorders Varney
said, “I can only give you my
opinion and I am not necessarily
speaking for the university, but
I believe that one reason is the
break-down in family ties and
home life. Another reason is
the value we place on material
things. Another is the ever-
reaction of the Supreme Court
and some of its resulting op
inions. A fourth reason is a
lack of involvement by moderate
students. Another is the failure
of the university to have pro
per communications between
students and the adminis
tration.*

Armyworms have been re
ported in the Clinton area and
several lawns and large fields
of grass already,are Infested,
according to StreetsSupt Eddie
McGee.
Mr. McGee said be had helped
investigate several reports of
armyworms within the city
limits of Clinton and all reports
checked out "positive.*
Extension entomologists at
Clemsoo University believe
armyworm moths were blown
into the state from their Cen
tral and Sooth American wint
ering areas on winds of
Hurricane Becky
They have now established
themselves in a belt across
central Sooth Carolina from
Aiken toCbesterfleldt counties,
says C. A. Thomas, and they
are likely to move rather ra
pidly to all parts of South
Carolina.
The armyworm is the larvae
of the moth and varies in color
from green to almost black.
They feed on a variety of
cultivated crops. Dr. Thomas
reports, but they prefer well
fertilized gasses in lawns and
fields.
The entomologist advises
homeowners and termers to be
oil the lookout for them in yards
sorghum, and Coastal bermuda.
They may also feed on altelfa,
cotton, and peanuts, he adds.
Dr. Thomas says the insecti
cide Sevin may be sprayed or
dusted on the infested areas to
control the worms around
homes, but the material should
be used strictly In accordance
with the label instructions.
Parathion, a more dangerous
insecticide, Is one of the re
commended materials for us
ing on crops in fields away from
the house.
Only qualified persons who
are willing to observe all the
safety precautions should use
parathion, cautioned Dr.
Thomas. Parathion should
neither be inhaled nor allowed
to get on the skin.
When using parathion,
farmers must wait seven days
before grazing treated areas,
and a 15-day waiting period is
required before cutting for hay.
There is no waitingperiodwhen
Sevin is used.
The entomologist says the
worms hatch from eggs which
the moth deposits on the blades
of grass. The eggs hatch in
two to four days. Then the
worms begin to feed, moving
outwards from the point
of orgin. The worms teed for
about 20 days, then go into the
soil to pupate. The inactive pu
pal stage lasts about 10 days,
then the moths emerge and fly
for many miles before repeat
ing the cycle.
Dr. Thomas estimates that
the armyworms may complete
three cycles before the first
frost kills them. They cannot
overwinter in South Carolina.
