Come Next Sprb It may seem a little premature, but I think Next the we'll talk a little about registration this would meand week. As every student knows, this process sorting, arran which separates the men from the boys, so favor of an ] to speak, can be painful if one lets it. Most tromc bra, students wind up in the "boys" category. pThe ul t? To further complicate matters the Regis- up with his e trar's Office is instituting a system of "pre- site from tc registration" for the spring semester. Hold scheduled the on to your seats!

If you're going to all the trouble of making a good impre. sion, you might as well let him know who you are, especially in a large class. "5) Laugh at his jokes.

LLID THIS Il Pat Clayton . . . A Que! With reference to the cmrent "young conservatism" controversy and on behalf of the Student Body, I move a vote of thanks to the Edi tor of "The Gamecock" for his non-i paxtisanship dn publishing both points of view. We are particularly in debted to him since such nondis crimination has often carried him beyond the call of duty. The raising of idealogical ques tions, as I did in this column two weeks ago, is proper subject for a columnist; the airing of a personal affront, as did Archie Wilder on this page Friday last, is not proper subject and, at most, is of interest to only the persons involved. By an actual line count, Mr. Wilder de voted 60% of his rather emotional column to petty insinuations and to the questioning of the motives of this writer. Since Mr. Wilder is chairman of the Young Americans for Freedom, a conservative coterie on our cam pus, I am very flattered to be con sidered so substantial a nemesis of his group that tactics of this sort must he resorted to. However, in the interest of fair sand accurate journalis~m, I feel it necessary to correct the false impressions left by him. If not for a fewv direct quotations, I would find it difficult to believe that Mr. Wilder actually read my column, so inaccurate were my thoughts represented. But I will not, as Mr. Wilder (lid, imply that he is guilty of deliberate distortion, be cause such a statement would pre sume more literary craftiness than. I will concede him.

UT I ' NEXT YEAA tion Of Di )bViOus that somewhere between the >lace he read my column and his ,ypewriter Mr. Wilder completely ost control over his ability to think ationally. For example, I was istonished to find that Mr. Wilder lid not recognize in my writing the ournalistic tactic of imitating an muthor's style and, by inimical para )hrase, of satirizing the author's mork. This practice has been used effee ively to satirize the works of [eningway, Saroyan, and others in >ur day. Mr. Wilder chose to think hat I was impressed by Buckley's ;tyle, which raises no objection since ie certainly has a right to be wrong. But, to set Mr. Wilder's mind at 3ase, I would like to assure him that was taken in by neit.her Buckley's style nor his logic; I merely at Lempted to use both of them to his >wnf discredit. Several other p)oints wvhich I made n October 20 .seem to have eluded Mdr. Wilder in his obvious haste to ffer rejoinder. One such point 'onl yerns my comments on the responsi )ility of all conservatives for the actions of the John Birch Society, [ne. Since Mr. Wilder profess.es such remarkable ability to draw on in ferences, I fail to understand howv be could possiibly have misscd this ne. I was not referring specifically to Mr. Buckley's stand on the John Birch Society; I was referring to the refusal of the Y A F unt ional :'ommrittee to take a stand on the Society. And I think the inference was clear even to t.he most ca.sual reader. Why has YAF refused to take a stand? Is it due to lack of A GREA!

On another crucial point Mr Wilder offered no direct comment obviously recognizing the untenable ness of Mr. Buckley's position. My Wilder would like for us -to believo that Buckley approves of the draf at all times. This simply is not so as Buckley himself states in hii book. In other words, Mr. Wilde: would not tell us a falsehood, but h, would have us believe one. Ti clarify the above point I offer thi following syllogism. Buckley's premise: A society (e.g., the United States )mus not compel its members to serve in the armed forces unless that society is directly threatened. Premise No. 2: In the current Berlin crisis the United States is not directly threatened -only the people of Berlin are directly threatened. ILogical conclusion: The United States must not conscript its citi zens for t,he purpose of defending Berlin. Mr. Wilder's reason for side *tepping the issue is obvious. cannot help but be apprehensive a the thought that Buckley and hi conservative proteges relish the op portunity to lead our country in thi pe.riod of its most peCrilous~ danger. My final point, on which we an deniied the benefit of Mr. Wilder' ciomments, concerns Buckley's con tention that "universal manhood suf f rage broke up the conservativ'e so ciety." I cannot imagine wvhat plan: the young conservatives have for ui along these lines. Does a person earr the right 'to vote by being born Cau easian, Negroid, male, female, in telligent, rich? The absence of spe cifics on this question makes analysi: dlifficult and con.jecture hazardous But 1 (1o not like the impression wit] wvhich I am left. In conclusion, I wvould like t reiterate my initial point that wher an ideological question is raised th. student newspaper is the prope sounding board. But when a per sonal confrontation exists, the mat ter is more properly disposed o between the persons involved. I wani it understood that I have no per. sonal quarrel with Mr. Wilder; mn3 differences with him are purels idleologic'al. If Mr. Wilder has pemsonal antimosity toward me which he feels he must vent, I in vite him to c'ome down from is ivory tower in Cornell Arms and discu.ss his problem with me over cupI of c'of fee.

L E M Exchange Corner 0 At Southern Illinois recently, a wheel chair drag race was held in which a variety of "souped-'up" motor chairs were driven. A 560 Foot drag strip was used for the mccasion. * * * Rutgers College students seem to be in the midst of a great contro versy over the banning of Henry Miller's novel, "Tropic of Cancer," in six New Jersey Counties. Several students stated many magazines sold on campus have a worse moral influence than the controversial novel. Professors, too, stated the book "aspires to be a work of art." * * . At LSU recently, there was a double hanging by a group of stu dents. Hung in effigy were As sociated Press and United Press In ternational, both who rated the LSU Tigers tenth place in the football poll. Loyal fans felt they should be ~ rated above Georgia Tech, whom they had beaten the week before. * . . At Purdue, a locomotive tender was recently lost. Though a rather - large objeat to be lost, it was well r concealed in a 35-foot gravel pit located near the edge of the campus. The 40-passenger Boilermaker Special disappeared after a pep rally before its scheduled use in the Purdue-Notre Dame game. ReiOal t was planned through use of a crane. * * * Up at Lenoir-Rhyne College, stu dents were informed by a telegram from Western Carolina College that their mascot, Joe Bear IV had been kidnapped by filing the locks off his t cage. The report stated that the bear was taken with "clean competitive spirit and good faith." The bear was returned and Lenoir-Rhyne re imbursed for the broken locks. * * * Washington State University and the University of Oklahoma both have plans whereby studentsq, by paying from 5 to 10 cents, can sign [their name to a telegram to the foot l)ball team wishing them good luck on out-of-town games. * * * At Tulane, the Pi Kappa Alphas feel "What could he cooler than a fire engine" after their recent 4 -cquisition of a 1924 bright red fire engine. Over two-thirds of the PiK A chapters in the US now owvn sucha - possession. The engine at Tuhane - will be used at pep rallies, parties, - intramural games and maybe some a out-of-town gamnes. The latter is still -in question as the shiny engine nowv I gets only two miles to the gallon.1 A Winthrop College senior who "always wanted to do something dif ferent," fulfilled this desire recently. She entered, along with 15 other girls, a recent stock car race. The astoniahed coed came in seventh in the race and now plans to enter another. * * * At the University of Kentucky, the YWCA is starting a program where dorm girls are given a "twin sister" from off campus. The town students will benefit by being able to use their "twins'" rooms during breaks. In return, the on-campus students will get a chance for a "home-cooked" meal on weekends. SON!
