The Unliv The University has a policy allow Student Council or Stu hire a Negro band to perfor wide dances. We recognize t issue has reached such a heE clear, reasonable thinking ab impossible, and so we would University to become engag< controversy. We would espec this to happen over an issuq that of the choice of a ban Still, we wonder if the Univ( the proper one. To defend the decision, ficials have expressed the fe incident occurring at the dar remark from either the ban dents could certainly cause a fair. Then too, some officials to colored bands appearing o1 University property. However, it seems very i that either of these argument, a great majority of the f sorority parties Negro bands fact, we would estimate thf play at 90%' of the parties. TI to our knowledge, been a rac the parties. We just don't thin will happen. As for the other argumeni Den Chairn 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, "Gamecock." 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 merits Agriculture Secretary Benson's description of it as fantastic - "the worst farm program, bar none, that I have ever seen ad vocated by any responsible figure mn this country." Mr. Kennedy naturally rejects 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. S8. Department of Agriculture w.ithiout difficulty." And that is just what technicians in the De partment have done to arrive at their cost figures. For example, they reckon that a po~und of choice grade heef 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 cents a quart milk would cost 30 cents. Take Or Ir'ave You can take these particular 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 even 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 trol. 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 effets on trade, on farm employ ersity And Negr which will not hood the dance dent Union to A dance in Ru. m at campus- able as one held ;hat the racial or Union dance ted state that must not be on out it is often The most imp not want the having Negro 1 d in a racial students want t ially not want formal party, st a as minor as proposed by Co d for parties. bands are much rsity policy is Negro bands 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 dledl by this office and submitted to the GAME COCK f o r publication. The addition was made by this office. Richard Patterson to remlemb)er Mr. Chamberlain's peace-in-our time statement after signing a pact with Hitler in Munich in 1938 will 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. D)ay speaks about our future andI the future of our children. In talking of the future he has hit the nail on the head. The reason the South Carolina i Democrats for Nixon and Lodge are working so very hard to carry i South Carolina is because we do want our children to have a future that hears some resemblance to the p)ast. Under Mr. Kennedy's sure- i fire, pledged in advance socialism ! there will be no worth while future for anyone in America. Vote for conservatism on No vember 8 - Vote for Nixon and A. Mason Gibbes. t Chairman S. C. Democrats for i Nixon and Lodge Dear Mr. Editor: In last week's issue there ap peared a letter concerning the presidential ,-acea nd Deca,.ts o Bands will not be held on campus. isell House is not as enjoy off-campus. If the Council s are to be a success, they campus. ortant argument in favor of )ands, however, is that the hem very badly.

An excellent i be hired for $60 to $120, )st about $350 to obtain a te band. he University allows colored red, perhaps it will permit ers to appear in the Artists' -re is need for much more his matter. Of course, none hurt the University in any few would want to do any reement with the South's :-ial question. But we do not ring of a Negro band will these desires. (on :0roup 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 )f 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 )lindly vote for a label just be nause his father voted for it. I fail to see how any Southerner :an support such a man as Ken iedy who holds views entirely dif rerent from those of the majority if the Southern people, who has shown he is anti-South, and who has the support of such South naters as Walter Reuther, Adam Clayton Powvell, Eleanor Roosevelt, the ADA, the AFL-CIO, and the NAACP. Also Kennedy is in favor of F~EPC and against state right-to work laws which give workers the :hoice of whether or not they want to b)elong to a union. If these two views 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. h is policy is one of appeasement and he is in effect telling the Coin. miunists to "come and get it." At this rate Kennedy's "new frontier" would soon be the west coast of the United States. Senate Leader,, As far as Congress is concerned, ~he presidential election has nothing wvhatsoever to do with the standing >f Senators and their chairman ships. As long as there is a Demo 'ratic majority of Senators, the So'uth will control most of the ~hairmanships. South Carolina and ~he South going for Nixon is the residential election can have no ffect on this and any words to he contrary is just a false threat y desperate Kennedy Democrats. On the other hand Kennedy has >ledged that he will strive to de troy the Southern Democrat-Re. >ulican coalition in the Congress vhuich is now able to defeat radical ('gislation of which Kennedy is in 'avor. If this coalition is broken up, t will be a decisive defeat for the sou th. In conclusion, let me say that a )emocrat for Nixon is acting in a inst honorable manner, lHe is sup >orting, and every true Southerner hould support, the more conserva ive of the two candidates. The tpbllican candidate will work to naintain our American way of life ndl our system of free enterprine. o0 for the good of the South and or the good of America, Richard 4ixon must he elected. Sincerely yours, n- n~..d LITTLE MAN College: GrE "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 ous 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 hour spent searching for WUSC, and the radio fills the afternoon. To morrow's hour quiz, which we re memb)er because we are failing this course, requires a feverish all night study with Dexter Green. Rush Recklessly We rush recklessly about. As we dart eagerly across Green Street to History 11, we have yet to find a motorist who will refuse to slam on brakes. We will not hesitate to let a girl open her own door. A few well-placed fire crackers in the basement or in the halls certainly provides the thrills, especially to those sensitive, study ing students who break world high Letter To The Editor To the Editor: The Democrats for Nixon Lodge who were ridiculed in 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 can return to the Democratic Party. The South has not deserted the national D)emocratic Party; the Democratic Party has has de sertedl the South. If the Democratic Party does not want the South why should Southerners continue to support the "traditional" party of the S~outh? The D)emocratic Party was rnee the bulwark of conserva ismi, but that is not the case to lay. The N a ti on al Democratic Party has become the party of Lbe ultra-liberlas and conserva tism and the South have been booted out.

Thus, on a soupped up schedule, we dash hither and thither, busy ing ourselves with organizations, sports, cars, girls and other trifles.
