We just don't th will happen. As for the other argume Dei Chair Dear Sir: This is an answer to a letter from Fred L. Day of the Univer sity of South Carolina School of Law printed in the October 28, "Gaiecock." Mr. Day says the Democrats for Nixon and Lodge are people who ride two horses at the same time and are only to be found at the circus. All Democrats in South Carolina have the full and com plete authorization of their own party to vote as they please No vember 8 without affecting their party standing in any way. That being the case, I hope Mr. Day will be around next Tuesday to see the darndest circus ever staged in South Carolina because thousands of Democrats are going to be vot ing for Vice-President Nixon. Democrats for Nixon and Lodge aren't worrying about who will want them after election day. They are the same solid citizens who voted for Strom Thurmond in 1948 and Mr. Eisenhower in 1952 and 1956. On the state and local level they will continue supporting their very capable people who run on the Democratic label. Farm Program Mr. Day likes Candidate Ken nedy's farm program. I will let the "Wall Street Journal" answer him~ on that. In an editorial dated Oct. 25, 1960 the "Journal" has this to say: "The High Cost of Fantasy - While Mr. Nixon certainly has not offered much in the way of a new~ farm program, it seems to us that Mr. Kennedy's program merit Agriculture Secretary Benson's description of it as fantastic - "the worst farm program, bar none2, that I have ever seen ad vocated by any responsible figure in this country."' Mr. Kennedy naturally reject the charge that his program would, among other things, mean an in crease of as much as 25';' in the general cost of food to consumers. Yet it was Mr. Kennedy himself who said that his definition of "parity" can be "calculated by the U. S. Department of Agriculture wi:hout difficulty." And that is just what technicians in the De partment have done to arrive at their cost figures. For example, they reckon thai a pound of choice grade beef re tailing at 82 cents last year would cost 98 cents under the Kennedy plan, 57 cents a pound pork would cost 81 cents, 51 cents a dozen eggs would cost 79 cents, and 25 centsa quart milk would cost 30 cents. Take Or Le'ave You can take these particulai estimates or leave them; what is inescapable in the Kennedy pro gram is that food cost would rise. And that is not the only, or ever the worst, cost in this program. For this is a plan for farming by Government compulsion. The three..fifths of agricultural activity which so far have been relatively free of Federal intervention would be brought under Government con. tr'ol. The number of Government inspectors needed to see that the farmers complied with the new regulations would be approximately quadrupled. Black markets would flourish, requiring still more police men. In addition, the Agriculture Department experts see disastrous effect. on trade, on farm employ wersilt And Negr y which will not hood the dance udent Union to A dance in Rus >rm at campus- able as one held that the racial or Union dance ated state that must not be on i bout it is often The most imp d not want the having Negro I ged in a racial students want t !cially not want formal party, su ue as minor as proposed by Col ,nd for parties. bands are much versity policy is Negro bands I money.

Now everyone knows that the farm programs of the type we have had since the New Deal have been a colossal flop. At least the Eisen hower Administration, with prac tically zero cooperation from Con gress, has tried to move away from them and toward greater farm freedom; Mr. Nixon also tries to look in that direction. What Senator Kennedy seems to be doing is to take all the worst features of past failures and exaggerate them and add some new turns of the compulsion screw. It is costly in more than money. Speaking of Money But speaking of money, if any one cares, the Government losses in supporting farm prices, without even counting direct subsidies and other forms of financial aid, come to a pretty figure. From October 17, 1933 to August 31, 1960, the losses total $10,120,383,000." Mr. Day mentions Quemoy and Matsu - In connection with these, Mr. Kennedy again demonstrated his method of dealing with the Communists. His is the road of appeasement. Anyone old enough RETRACTION As state chairman of the South Carolina Col lege Young Democrats, I want to state that the name of Mr. James F. Byrnes was not included in Mr. Fred Day's origi nal letter which was han dled by this office and submitted to the GAME COCK f o r publication. The addition was made by this office. Richard Pattelrson to remember Mr. Chamberlain's peace-i n-our time statement after signing a pact with Hitler in Munich in 1938 wvill realize the falacy in the Kennedy position. Next to last, Mr. Day talks of Southern Democrats in Congress. All Democrats for Nixon and Lodge expect to vote for the Honor able J. Strom Thurmond, one of the finest Senators ever sent to Washington by any state. Two Races It happens that there are two races; the Senate race and the Presidential race, each separate and distinct. Finally, Mr. Day speaks about our future andl the future of our children. In talking of the future he has hit the nail on the head. The reason the South Carolina D)emocrats for Nixon and Lodge are working so very hard to carry So,uth Carolina is because we do want our children to have a future that hears some resemblance to the past. UJnder Mr. Kennedy's sure fire, pledged in advance socialism there will be no worth while future for anyone in America. Vote for conservatism on No vembe~r 8 --Vote for Nixon and Lodge. A.

Of course, none hurt the University in any . few would want to do any reement with the South's cial question. But we do not ring of a Negro band will these desires. Kon 3roup for Nixon. I would like to correct some of the misstatements in that letter. Today, the National Democratic Party is no longer the same party as it once was. It is now the party of labor and radical thinking. The national party has deserted the South Carolina Democrats who be lieve in conservatism and the American way of life. Now, the National Republican Party is much closer to the South's way of think ing than is the Democratic Party. Therefore, the thinking Southern Democrat is supporting the more conservative candidate, Richard Nixon. Local Level The Democrat for Nixon is one who is a Democrat on the local level but who in the presidential election votes for whom he believes is the best candidate, in this case, Nixon. He is a man who will not blindly vote for a label just be cause his father voted for it. I fail to see how any Southerner can support such a man as Ken nedy who holds views entirely dif ferent from those of the majority of the Southern people, who has shown he is anti-South, and who has the support of such South haters as Walter Reuther, Adam Clayton Powell, Eleanor Roosevelt, the ADA, the AFL-CIO, and the NAACP. Also Kennedy is in favor of SE PC and against state right-to work laws which give workers the choice of whether or not they want to belong to a union. If these two viewvs of Kennedy are carried out it will mean the end of the South's industrial drive. Nixon, by the way, holds the South's views on these two important issues. On Kennedy's Quemoy-Matsu policy, little comment is needed. Hiis policy is one of appeasement and he is in effect telling the Com munists to "come and get it." At this rate Kennedy's "new frontier" wvould soon be the west coast of the UYnited States. Senate Leaders, As far as Congress is concerned, the presidential election has nothing whatsoever to do with the standing of Senators and their chairman ships. As long as there is a Demo cratic majority of Senators, the South will control most of the chairmanships. South Carolina and the South going for Nixon is the p)residential election can have no effect on this and any words to the contrary is just a false threat by desperate Kennedy Democrats. On the other hand Kennedy has pledged that he will strive to de stroy the Southern Democrat-Re-. publican coalition in the Congress which is now able to defeat radical legislation of which Kennedy is in favor. If this coalition is broken up, it will be a decisive defeat for the Sotth. In conclusion, let me say that a De'mocrat for Nixon is acting in a most honorable manner. He is sup porting, and every true Southerner should support, the more conserva tive of the two candidates. The Rtepub)lican candidate will work to maintain our American way of life atnd our system of free enterprise. So for the good of the South and for the good of America, Richard Nixon must be elected. Sincerely yours, ne.. Bo... LITTLE MAN ;P .. A College: Gn "Don't join too many gangs, Join few if any, Join the U.S. and join the family, But not too much in between, unless a college." The great transition from the home to life unfortunately is col. lege. Here a wild mass of stu. dents hysterically converge on our grounds to work out in a most joy outs experiment a new life. These explorers hardly miss their mothers, but oh, for the maids. The frustrated freshman coed, cut ting her eight o'clock class to clean up her room, certainly merits my sympathy. Personally, I always get the worst headaches trying to make up my bed surrounded by three hard walls and overhung by a use less book shelf. Candle Falls Inevitably the candle, which I frequently use to help me see in my room (the lighting on frater nity row was evidently done by the Opus), falls over and the Columbia Linen Service is so nasty about replacing burnt sheets. Then there's the homecooked meals which we have loved and lost awhile, to the nutritious Russell House and her recipient, the infirmary. After a long bitter struggle we finally persuade ourselves to get out of bed in the morning, only to find the green beetles busy at work making it impossible for us to shower. Meantime our car has successfully broken a Gamecock record by getting three parking tickets in one day ($8 a day for student parking!?!). We go to class, forgetting we have an hour quiz. After this we sp)end hours walking through the labyrinth of those flower-named dining rooms hunting for a can celled meeting. A football game, a swimming meet, and a vain hor spent searching for WUSC, anc the radio fills the afternoon. To morrow's hour quiz, which we re member because we are failing this course, requires a feverish all night study with Dexter Green. Rush Recklessly We rush recklessly about. Ak we dart eagerly across Greer Street to History 11, we have yet to find a motorist who will refus4 to slam on brakes. We will not hesitate to let a girl open her owi door. A few well-placed fire crackers in the basement or in the halls certainly provides the thrills espqecially to those sensitive, study ing students who break world high. Letter To The Editor To the Editor: The Democrats for Nixon. Lodge who wvere ridiculed ir last week's letter to the editor are people who see no place for the South in the National Demo eratic Party at the present, but who have hopes that eventually the South and conservatism car return to the Democratic Party. The South has not deserted the national Democratic Party; the Democratic Party has has de serted the South. If the D)emocratic Party does not want the South why should Southerners continue to suppori the "traditional" party of the South ? The IDemocratic Party wai once the bulwark of conserva tism, but that is not the case to dlay. The N a t i o n a I Demlocratic Party has become the party of the ultra-liberlas and conserva tism and the South have beer booted out. Sincerely, Lee Joran ON CAMPUS 4. Bat Transition jump records. Thus, on a soupped up schedule, we dash hither and thither, busy ing ourselves with organizations, sports, cars, girls and other trifles. We make mistakes, yell at our roommates, hate the hous ing office, cultivate our social life to a sharp perfection, and do our school work with great imperfec tion. The mature adult may make critical remarks about us college Joe's with our hectic lives, un healthy diets, serious romances, and sleepless nights. But we are learn ing an important something -- something that can't be taught to us, for the college professors don't know any better than us. And that is how to live. Down To Earth We are profiting from existen tial, down to earth, red hot en gagements in life. For it is by mak ing decisions, no matter how small, and by entering the conflict that we gain experience and a knowl edge of ourselves. It is through this that we de velop our desirable traits and characteristics which constitute our personality. And personality should be the chief work of college.
