ANO WAIKt o o I7I Student Int( Dear Mr. Elliott: In regard to Mr. Daun Van Ee's lettee, we would like to expres our hearty approval and agreement with the ideas he presented in last week's evI issue of The famncock. It is true that many student elections are popu. larity contests, and nany of the of. fices to which students are ejected are implrtant in name only, having no significant function in the student government. From the fact that so few students vote, one can plainly see that a lack of meaningful conflicts and issues in the student elections re suits In an apathetic attitude. While we cannot wholly agree with Mr. Van Ee's idea concerning office appointments, we do feel that some revisement is in order. Mr. Van Ee suggested that in cases p where the president is unable to make the appointment, the student tt senate should be able to perform tr the act. However, we suggest that if the office is vital enough to exist, then the students be allowed to vote directly. The solution as we view it, appears to he reducing unimportant offices Cleaners & Laundry LEON A.

Two articles in The Sate news paper dealing with the razing of the slums on this land completely ignored the fate of those families whose "h o im e s" were being de stroyedl. No mention was made of the hardship encountered by these families, most of whom earn less thtan $1,500 at year, or of the prob ems of relocation of the crippled. the blind, or the aged.

However, what kind of memorial is it when its foundations rest upon the defensles suffering of a help less people ? Perhaps a g r e a t e r memorial would be for USC stu- ' f, dents, faculty and administration to make a living testament in ae cepting a morally responsible role in the affairs of their campus, which in the last analysis repre- d sents themselves.

There are four different groups of p e o p l e living in the Middle East: Arabs, Jews, Persians and Turks. Each group, although in fluenced by each other to a large degree, have distinct cultural pat terns and therefore they should all be studied from this point of view. Except for the Jews, the other three groups have the same reli gion and have shared almost the same history until the end of World War I. After the war, the spread of the ideas of nationalism started the self-consciousness and awakened the national identities of these peoples. With Turks, this started with the War of Independence from 1918 to 1923 and continued with the reform, of Mu_stafa Kemal and is still in evolution under the light of the re rent political and ecuinomial de velopments in toxiay"'s world. Chivalry Isn't Dead )ear Mr. Elliott: Before coming to USC, I had al vays heard the engrossment of l'SC tudents in their own lives and activi ies was so far advanced that thev vould not help "a little old lady in istress." As of today, I would like to per onally refute that statement. Recently, I was the victini of a fall roi one flight of stairs in Barnwell ollege. These so called "engrossed" eople - students, professors, and oficeman - took time from their usy schedules to help a nobody in istress like me, for which I am ex. ernely grateful. C.

Ti B Bell System Ater,,an Ielephione a Telegrape Bad AuSoc.ated Cawnasalaa n Turkey] Turkey, today has a completely secularized educational s y s t e m which ,bolished the use of Arabic scripture 38 years ago. The lan guage spoken is Turkish and is comnpletely different from Arabic. This and the other scxial reforms of the same period have changed many aspects of Turkey and the Turks. There are no 1 o n g e r "Harems" and women no longer use veils and other articles to cover their faces. The society is laic (non - clerical) and preaching in order to convert people and to spread any religion is against the law. "Seriat." the canon law has been replaced by modern law, pre pared in the light of Swis vil and Italian criminal laws. The constitution gives every citizen the right to express his ideas freely, whether left or right. with the ox j ception of extreme element, at both ends of the political spectrum.
