Struggi
A Hungarian student fresh
from the recent fighting against
Communists in his country told
Carolina students last Friday that
"We will continue our struggle
against the communists. Our
struggle is not yet ended."
The 21-year-old student who
went by the pseudonym Istvan
Laszlo said, "The revolution in my
country is not yet over. My fellow
students sent me over here to ap
pear before the United Nations to
tell them what we are fighting
for in Hungary, but I could not
appear before them."
Instead Laszlo is traveling over
the United States addressing stu
dents. His trips are being spon
sored by the United States Na
tional Student Association. Ralph
Della Cava of the student asso
ciation and an interpreter,
Charles Derecski, are traveling
with Laszlo. The University was
the thirty-second school that he
had addressed. He plans to ad
dress 100 U. S. colleges.
Freedom Fighters
He led an army of approxi
mately 5,000 against the commun
ists in the Hungarian town of So
pron, Hungary. In the army were
approximately 1,000 students from
the University of Sopron. Laszlo
was a student at that institution.
Their struggle against the
enemy was begun, he said, because
"We arrived at a point where we
could no longer live in slavery
after ten years under the commun
ist control. We had to have our
freedom."
He told students that he was
only requesting "you to sympa
thize and to write letters to the
President of the United States
and Senators and Representatives
urging theni to support the Hun
garian freedom movement."
He told how students in his
town had not wanted to fight but
felt that they had to after de

Wide Support
For Bill 533
The Carolina Veterans Associa
tion is seeking national backing in
support of Senate Bill 533. The
purpose of the bill is to increase
allowances for Korean Conflict
veterans in school under provisions
of the GI Bill of Rights.
Carl M. Reynolds, president of
CVA, said that "This is necessary,
since Korean veterans are receiv
ing substantially less training
benefits than (lid the World War
II veterans."
Services performed by Korean
veterans were essentially the same,
Reynolds said, "even though the
durations of the conflicts and en
gagements may not have been the
same."
The University CVA has author
ized the distribution of letters to
the nation's colleges and univer
sities where veterans are enrolled,
in an initial effort to recruit
nation-wide support for the legisla
tion.
The letters will be mailed well
in advance of the next session of
Congress, allowing ample time for
petitions, letters and appeals to
Congressmen to be made.
Reynolds urged the South Caro
lina Congressional Delegation last
week to "exercise the influence of
their position to assure speedy
passage of the bill."
