State thairman Of Republicans Heard On WCOS "We South' Carolinians have nothing to fear from a Republican administration. Facing historical facts, it is unquestionably the re sult of the War Between the States and the tragic enects of-the Re construction period that most of the people in this state vote the Democratic ticket. That is a by gone era," John W. "Jack" Lind say stated last night in an address over radio station WCOS. Lindsay is a law student at the universitv and state chairman of the Repub lican Veterans for Dewey and Warren. "Many ot yuu have the idea that the Republican party is the party of big business. I would like to set the record straight. The Republi can party is the party of the small businessman as well as the big businessman. Neither could sur vive without the other." Lindsay concluded. Prior to his address L.indsay stated that he "thinks it strange on Governor Thurmond's part when courtesies have been made by several states to make every effort to have his ntame placed on their ballots, even to a special ses sion of their legislatures, that he refused to call a special session of the South Carolina general as sembly to vote for a free ballot."

Chase, dean of administration; Mrs. Arney Childs, dean of wo men; Dr. J. B. Jackson, dean of men; Dr. J. E. Norwood, dean of the college of arts and sciences.
