World UnIvei Several University students have become involved in a worth-while effort that will eventually encompass every member of the Carolina Community. These students are planning to start a World University Service (WUS) chapter on this campus in hopes of helping student and faculty members in need throughout the world. WUS is an international student relief organization; through contributions to WUS, students and faculty members in many countries help their colleagues in the emerging nations. This group is motivated by the desire to fight ignorance, sickness and poverty in the underdeveloped coun tries. Since its inception in 1919 WUS has established libraries, bookstores, and text book-printing projects at universities where books are presently unobtainable or beyond the means of the students. With their funds they have also built health clinics and infirmaries in nations that formerly did not have these facilities. During this past year WNUS has spent $350,000 setting up cooperative cafeteria's in India and Nepal, sendin& an x-ray unit to Pakistan, establishing book banks in Indonesia, equipping a health clinic for a new Chinese University in Hong Kong, fur nishing a cooperative dormitory in Ceylon, Residence rarn Once upon a time, there was a great farm with over 7,000 animals. Some of these animals worked there during the day, went home at night, and led very happy lives inleed. There were some 5,000 donkeys on the farm. These donkeys had come from far, far away and could not go home every night. Therefore they lived and ate at big stables on the farm, each stable being under the supervision of an old Hereford bull. While the sleeping accommodations were quite satisfactory, the donkeys were not at all happy with their meals, for the only food they ever received was green dande lions. Now, green dandelions may well be the favorite food of some lower species of ani mals, but it is a well-known fact that donkeys immensely p)ref er hay. So, after many months of suffering and deliberation, the donkeys dlecidled to ask the old IIereford bull to do something in order to improve the quality of their food. So the old1 Iereford bull, being very sober and conscientious, decided to consult the food committee, which consisted of a rabbit, a goat and a pig. After thorough and lengthy deliberation, the rabbit said: "I believe that green dlandelions are dleli cious andI nourishing and certainly superior to hay. I see no justification for the comn plaint." The goat announced: "I agree. Green dlandielions are healthy Lewis Rest And Relaxatic As I sat dlown to finish the view.

In the United States thousands of dollars were donated in scholarships for Hungarian students, fellowships for Chinese refugee students from Hong Kong, and scholarships for unsponsored African students, in addi tion to $300,000 in contributions from stu dents and faculty members for the projects in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The USC students working to bring WUS to the campus have planned numerous fund raising events. They hope to have folk singer Joan Baez for a concert this spring. It is their goal to solicit money from stu dents in order to establish a book store fin Hong Kong to be used by Chinese refugees that have fled from the China mainland. It should be clearly stated that WUS is not a charity organization but rather an incentive group. They furnish one-third to one-fourth of the money necessary to com plete projects in foreign countries. Before the campaign on this campus goes into full swing there will be a great (leal of publicity in hopes of enlightening ('arolina students of the purposes of WUS. We urge everyone to make this a cooperative effort and help make the Carolina WUS ewdeavor a successful campaign. -Reardon -A Modern Fable and i utritious. They are much better than fence posts or newspapers. I can only warmly recommend them and suggest that they should continue to be served." The pig proclaimed: "Does it matter what we eat? Green (lan(elions have 64' more vitamins and 31' ilore proteins than hay. They meet all the qualifications of the Minimum Subsis tence Requirements Act There shoukl (lefi nitely be nio change in the donkeys' (liet." The donkeys, therefore, had to continue to eat green (lan(lelions and soon they began losing weight. Finally, un(ler the leadership of a donkey whose weight had gone (lowi to 125 pounds, they (leci(led to revolt. So, one lunch, they refused to eat their green dandelions. Instead, each donkey dlumpedl his portion in the IIereford bull's drinking tr'ough. This was too much for the 01(d bull's pa tience. F"uriously, he proclaimed that the dlonkeys wvould be plunished. Now surely you would like to know howv he punishedl them. DJid he levy a fine? No! Did he cut their rations? No ! lie in crealsed their rations! And, even today, the dlonkeys are still eating increased r'ations of horrible green dlandel ions. In dlesp)air, they have asked me to tell the world about their dlreadlful fate in the faint hope of arousing an outburst of plublic indignation in their favor. But I o not think that the world cares very much about the dlonkeys' troubles.

It is not very often that students at a large university are treated to a ring-side seat for a no-holds harred dispute between faculty and student. Carolina has been fortunate! This columnist is in the un usual position of being employed by the University, writing for the plaintiff, and attending classes under one of the defend ants. Need one say more? In short, let's take an unbiased position and attempt to quell this insinuation that there is no harmony on this campus. Although it is natural that students and faculty conflict, it it not necessary that it be per sonal or public. Once a snow ball starts rolling, it gains in size and dimension. Such is tak ing place with our PoliSci-Game cock conflict. It is time that the snowball be melted. It can be pointed out that someone wants the last word. Miss Reardon. the plaintiff, un dluly arousedl by insinuating re marks at journalistic character, had the adivantages of the press to construct and rebuke her at tackers. The PoliSci Depart ment, the dlefendant, unduly aro)usedl that they should be take'n to task publicly, had the advantages of the classroom to influence the studlents as to their side of the story. This, it must he pointed out, was done in a dlisrespectful manner to the young lnady. A S the tables turned, Miss Reardon retaliated by edi torially blasting said dlepart ment. To all concernedl this was personally dlangerous. Not so to Mliss Reardon, howvever. It would CROWING F01 t!NIVEIISITIY OF !

The court must overlook Mliss Reardon's intestinal fortitude though. In college life, the student looks to the professor for guid ance and adult maturity when discussing issues or problems. The student is seeking the an swer which the professor is sup posed to have already obtained by experience and maturity. When the professor lowers him self to the student level in an attempt to affirm his actions in the eyes of the students, he is Stepping on his ethical code. Continually writing letters to a student newspaper and even go ing as far as sending them by registered mail is childish for men with such intellectual back grounds. D ISCIPLINING oneself, even at this stage of the game, is highly important to one's de velopment. Although spicy as the story may be, wouldn't it, maybe, be a little better to pass over this in order to maintain a properly functioning machine? It can't be all that had now! The state rests. The defense rests. The jury has been charged andl retirQs to reach a verdict. In a case like this the jury wouldl more than likely become hung -- hung because they can't reach a dlecision in favor of either party and hung over be cause they finally reached a deC cision to become hung. Heck-of a-trail, wasn't it? Hoping frantically that my ef forts to satirically condone and condemn both sides hasn't in jured the Law School, this col umnist p)acks his brief and leaves the courtroom with delus ions that the disagreement is at an end and that USC will be a better institution come the morn.

LETI BLAST CONTINUES Editor The Gamecock Dcar Miss cIarilon: For several months I have fol lowed your journalistic career with unflagging interest, and as you now approach the end of your tenure I feel compelled to express my admiration for your astounding capacity to execute so effectively the editorial policy you initially conceived. Indeed, I congratulate you on your per formance as editor of The Game cock in regard to your genuinely uncanny ability to remain faith fil to the promises you gave. You were true to your prin ciples when you foolishly en dorsed a candidate for the Presi dency of the United States by repeating the meaningless cliche that "America needs Goldwater." (Gamcrock, Oct. ), 1!4) You remaiin od s t. e a d f a s t on your chosen path when you naively an( ignorantly assessed P r e s i it e n t Johnson's popular mandate in t e r in s of "absolute power." (Gamecock, Nov. 6, 19641) You did not deviate an inch from your announced goal when you at tacked faculty members of the IIistory, International Studies, and Political Science Depart ments (Gamecock, Nov. 13 and 20, 1116-1) with the paranoidal obsessionlist facties of those who search so fervently for a "red in every hed" and a "pink in every sink." As a result of the above en deavors you have been accused of conveying ain erroleous image of campus sentiment at the Univer sity of South Carolina. Your critics, and there have been many, are divided on numerous issues, but seem to find them selves in concert oin at least one: namely, that. your editorials have not IVreS'nted the opiiions of the majority, or even a near majority. of the campus com munity. It is )recisvely on this issue that I wish to come to your defense. While I wholeheartedly agree with the conclusion that your signed statements in the pages of The Gamerc,rk do not represent camplius sentiment, I must ad monish your opponents for con dlemning you for something that you never intended nor attempted to (o. Should your crities (or, per haps, victims?) ptruse your inaugural edtorial ("On Filling the Chair," (;imecock, Maay 15, i1l! 0) , they' wvould recogn iz( at once' the i maprop)riety of1 their~ ait tacks, come to their sen ses, and retract t heiri accusations.

Since I have been gratuitously chassi fieid as a "F'abian Soia ilist anil a rident left -w.'inge r,'' in very good (compa)uny of my colleagues n (othler departments, I feel I have the privilege of requesting you)l to (eithe'r sublst antiate' stich politically connmhotautive if not libelous appellat ions w ithm fact, or offer an apliory. PERSr press is at issue. You have wil fully distorted the real issue in volved. Your critics communicated to you their objection to the abandonment of reasonable politi cal dialogue in favor of pejora tive name-calling. You have neglected to print this communi cation in which it was expressly stipulated that no one denied your choice, but that this choice in a democratic society should be ad v,anced in a responsible fashion. Here you have apparently not l-arned the modes of democrary, while utilizing the catch phrases. You state one, ". . . should ob s,.rve the principle of agreeing with our right to say what we wish." I am certain that the USC School of Journalism would not accept this as a definition of freedom of the press. Don't you realize that there are indeed limits to what you may say? Limits set by good taste, common decency, responsibility, truth and the law. In this lat2st perform ance you have gone beyond all these boundaries. I strongly urge that you should be informed the sword and shield of the journalist are truth and responsibility, not name-calling and the invocation of freedom of the press to escape responsibility. DONALD E. WEATHERBEE Assistant Professor 0 0 0 I;difor The Ga mecock Pear Mlisit Reardon: There aro several points which I wish to make concerning your editorial, "Unscholarly Attitude," which appeared in the November 13 issue of The Gamecock. First, you have stated that a number of the faculty critics in the social science departments oppose your "pro-American edi torial policies," thus labeling them, indirectly at least, with the tag of "anti-American." Possibly they are called upon - by their own convictions - to criticize some aspects of our nation in the light of the statement that a true patriot is one who will criti cize his country when it is wrong. Referring to your editorial poli cies as "pro-American" is, at best, a method of "poisoning the wells" in formal logical terms - a method of shutting out and dis regarding their thought rather than dealing with it. Second: You refer to these critics as "Fabian Socialists and ardent left-wingers," thus label ing all of the members of these depla rtme'nts wvith a name which -- from your use of the terms - is not at all complimentary. (By not designating those to whom you r.efer, you cast aspersions upion all members of these facul ti(s.) 1 (d0 not opposeC a newspaper edlito)r's right to free speech and freedoma of the press, but as I readi your edlitorial, I was re minded of JTustice Oliver WVen de'll Holmes' famius opinion on free sp)(eech in which he stated that freedom of speech is fine, hut it does not give a man the right to shout, "Fire," in a crowdled theatre.
