Carolin, Sign Vi By JIMMY WANNAMAKER Faculty - Academic Editor Two professors and three as sistant professors of Anthropology and Sociology at USC were among the 1300 signing a recent open letter to President Lyndon John son protesting the war in Vietnam and its effects on American so ciety.

They were the only signers from South Carolina. Prof. MePhail explained his sign ing saying, "I'm for bringing the war in Vietnam to an end as soon as possible." In this letter, which was also By JIMMY WANNAMAKER Faculty - Academic Editor As a result of our call for ideas and comments (we hope') we re ceived the letter which reads in part: Dear Sir: "Having attendhd the Student Forum on International Ordelr and World Peace, Airlie Conference Center, Warrenton, Va., Nov. 17 19, 1 have become concerned with the attitudes held among the mem hers of the Carolina Community about the general topic "Peace," and the lack of education among this group about a topic so im portant to all of us. "To quote the chairman of the conference, ''Peace is too important to he left up to the peaceniks." For the people of the world to he as sured a reasonable, secure future, something must be done to break the spiral of tension which is lead ing to another war. This "some thing," which must be done, is, in my opinion. to educate the "future leaders"--the students on our cam pus. "I would, therefore, appeal to you, and the newspaper which you represent, to take the initiative on our campus to bring the facts di orced from 1polit ical interprlleta - tion--to the sleeping mass of stu dents which comprise the bulk of the Carolina Community. . . ." -Joe T.

Among such problems they listed urban development, proverty and racial discrimination, and said that these "will not yield to fragmen tary token efforts but must be the focus of massive concerted action."

Prof. John Scott Wilson believes that a student should "be come involved with the past and look at in its own light." Dr. Wilson came to the USC History Department last year from Duke University because he "was offered the courses he wanted to teach." IHere he is trying to apply his theory of historical s t u d i e s in several of his classes. In his honors class, he gave the final exam at the first of the semester and now the class concentrates on discus sion and reading early historical hooks. In his regular history sections he gives topical lectures and assigns parallel books. He tries to find books which will stimulate them and which are interesting. Dr. Wilson says the University is developing "but has a long way to go." le feels that more em phasis should be placed on the secondary school system in South Carolina to give the students a broader and better foundation for their college education. lie said that if F'SC is to enter the mainstream, "the students must he proul to cone here he caLse it is it decent school," and SUNSHINI TO THE CAN COt-Ur-. bS,A& ,4 ALL.

Dr. Wilson said that the student should be brought into contact with learning, pick up new ideas and broaden his outlook. "You don't come to a university to learn what to think," he concluded, "but how to think." Dr. Wilson is a native of Ten. nessee and completed his under. graduate work at the University of Tennessee. lie received his Mae. ter's and Ph.D. degrees from the University of North Carolina. He taught history at Duke Uni versity before coming to Carolina.
