ODR Awe "It is well for men to mark their admiration for greatness of soul and beauty of character and their grateful appreciation of service to mankind in public and private life by a lasting me morial of a man such as this to be a constant reminder of a life which showed forth those qualities and that service and a constant encouragement and inspiration to such a life in others." Thus reads the inscription upon the Al gernon Sydney Sullivan Award, the highest honor conferred upon a University of South Carolina student. This presentation, along with other dis tinguished. awards, will be made this com ing Tuesday afternoon during Carolina's an nual Awards Day ceremonies. The plaque is conferred upon a man and woman of the student body who have consistently given unselfish and loyal service to the University. Although Awards Day is the only time (luring the ar when the University as a whole recognizes distinguished members of the Carolina Community, student apathy toward this event has been appalling. Communism A Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover are in direct contradiction over the question of commu nist influence in the Negro movement. In a response which the Attorney Gen eral made to the Commerce Committee when he was queried about communist influence in the black man's movements and demon strations, he described communist infiltra tion efforts as being "remarkably unsuc cessful," and whitewashed Martin Luther King and other Negro leaders of connections with communists. Hoover, in his January 29 testimony be fore the House Appropriations subcommit tee, said, "Communist influence does exist in the Negro movement, and could play an important role in swaying masses without their realizing it." He also added that the communist party tries to expand its influence among Negroes, and particularly has "sought ways and means to exploit the militant forces of the EXCHANGI C:IIAPEL HILLalthsaecol Education emphasis pledged by siycpi ..Pr [a] (e) yer . ..

One's presence during the ceremonies should not be too heavy a burden to bear, in order to show some sort of appreciation or recognition to those who have helped build the University, and who have helped spread its name throughout the United States by their often-denounced "extra-cur ricular" activities. Past Awards Days have often seemed like Mutual Admiration Days. Few persons other than those receiving awards have been present to extend their congratula tions, thus individual recipients find It necessary to clap each other on the back. In order for Awards Day to retain its importance and significance on the calendar of University events, a student change in attitude will have to be directly forthcom ing. It would be unfortunate if lack of stu den tsupport were to rob Awards Day of its capital letters, and a big-feeling-inside from the individual recipients. nd The Negro Negro civil rights movement." The party, Hoover said, tries to use "what are often legitimate Negro complaints and grievances for the advancement of communist objec tives." The FBI chief also stated that the num ber of Negro recruits who might be at tracted to party membership "is not the important thing." He cited the old Com munist principle: "Communism must be built with non-Communist hands." A confidandt of the Attorney General, has revealed in a recent column that the in filtration of the Negro movements is "a very serious matter." He reported further that the "subject of the real headshaking is the Rev. Martin Luther King. His influ ence is very great. . . . Yet he has accepted and is, almost certainly still accepting Com munist collaboration and even Communist advice." Who is catering to the favor of the elec torate and who actually knows the ropes?

The arch Enemy of God used it on at least one occasion to try to prove a point during the days when Jesus was upon the earth. To hold that premarital sex relations are all right because some Biblical characters prac ticed it, shows a misunderstand ing of the nature of the Bible. This Book portrays on its pages how people lived in those days. The good and the bad is told. If a person lived wickedly and has his name on the pages of the Bible, this does not mean that God approved his wickedness. How people lived and how they should have lived are two dif ferent things. Since the Bible has been put on the witness stand in this matter, what does it have to say on the subject at hand? Is it not significant that, when God created the first h u m a n pair, there is no evidence of any intimate relationship u n t i I God joined them in marriage? What about Acts 15:20? Or, I Cor. 6:18? In Mark 7:21 Jesus links pre-marital sex relations w i t h evil thoughts. If there were no Bible, we would still believe that sex re lations before marriage are im moral and degrading. Since hu man beings bear the image of the Creator, they are expected to live on a higher plane than the lower order of animals. A mem ber of the human race, unlike some ordinary animal, must have some inhibitions andl must he capable of practicing restraint. To be able to do so separates him from these animals and places him on a pedestal above them. The sex relationship between two people, joined together in marriage, is a holy relationship. To engage in it under other con ditions is to cheapen it and place a ten cent store label on it. David D. Strebe RaymoInd A. Lytte T. Iloyle Lee IIerman W.

Iledherg Peace Corps F.Aitor's Note: The Gamnecock always welcomes letters f r o m courageous "Carolina Students" who refuse to sign their Iames. Editor The Gamecock Dear Miss Russell: The opinion that the Univer sity of South Carolina must have conveyedl to the members of the Peace Corps was probably one of extreme rudeness. I am certain that most people who read Bill Savage's (colum nist) article on the Peace Corps must have read it with much un easiness and embarrassment. It seems unfair that one student can create such a bad impression of so many other students. Bill Savage did make many unfair generalizations, consider ing that one "neatly dressed vol unteer, fresh from Nigeria" did not claim to be( a public speaker. In my opinion this volunteer dhe livered an interesting sp(eech (of, as he stated his personal im pressions, his life in the Peace Corps. Bill S a v a ge must take inlto consideration that all people are not as talented as he in express ing themsaelves and also that all, whether we like it or not, he does represent the Carolina stu dent body in an indirect way. A CAROLINA STrIm)Er "I know I'm on the borderl LETT No Honor - Who's To Blame? E'ditor The Gamecock Dear Miss Russell: It seems as though The Game cock takes it upon itself each semester to write an editorial on the honor system, or I should 3ay lack of an honor system, at Carolina. It also appears that it is the general concensus of opinion that we have no real honor system on campus. Students agree that it is because of the professors' at titudes while a quiz is adminis tered, that is, constantly walk ing up and down the rows to make sure that no cheating is going on, that makes a true honor system impossible. Stu ients are placed in a position of Len - year - olds - they are not expected to be on their honor, so wvhy not cheat? Signing the pledge is a com plete farce. Anyone who will rheat will not hesitate to write yut a few meaningless words then sign their signatures. If they do not sign, ther. they are in actuality giving themselves away. Who would be that fool ish? What is really sad is that in rder for some students to pass a quiz they have to cheat. They have to get a copy of the quiz beforehand because their class mates have it, and it results in iurvival of the fittest. This is specially true in r e g a r d to :luizzes that are scaled. If a pro ressor would change his quizzes from semester to semester this oirt of cheating would not occur. In this particular instance it s entirely the fault of the teach. yr. Students cannot be expected rot to look at a quiz when it is 'ivailable to them, especially if half the students in the class are dloing it. If they were to be ione'st in this i n s tan ce, they would perhaps fail the test after the sealing was done. When and if Carolina will ever Iave a real working honor sys rem is an often asked question. The first step to be taken is for the professors to get together and decide what they can do to 'ombat the cheating problem and finally what they can do to at tain a functioning honor prin r'iple. MARSHA KANITZ Morality Again Edlitor~ The Game,lcock. I)car Miss Ru.nsell: We, the uindlersigned members 4f the Mathematics Department, have read wvith concern the views expressedl by some students in recent issues of The Gamecock rn the moral issue involving sex relations before marriage. While we believe this subject is over-emphasized today to the point where an unwholesome at. mosphere is createdl, we wish to emphasize that we heartily sup port the right of any student to express his views and wouldl not prevent him from doing so even if we couldl. Our primary purpose in writ ing this letter is to make it a matter of public record that we believe it is morally wrong for young people to engage in pre marital sex relationships. Fur thermore, it is our belief that sur view is shared by the over whelming majority of the stu lents and faculty members of this University.
