At one time it was the dream of every blach person to wake up one morning anc find that his skin had suddenly turned white; for, in America society white was right. Why should the black man wait? Another answer would be that the black man as an individual is not able, or he is not ready, to enter the mainstream of American society. He must first realize that the world of today is a complex mechanism. He must realize that perfection is the sought after ingredient of a modern society. He must open his eyes and realize that his cultural background has not prepared him for the complex problems that he will face and with which he must cope it he is to survive. He must realize that even if he does enter the mainstream of society and if he is accepted as an individual, there is no guarantee that he will not encounter a staunch conservative who will remember that he is ari inferior "nigger." Why should the black man wait? Letters Ii Dear Mr. Wannamaker: I like the South (perhaps, I should have whispered). I do no like the dogmatic narrow mindedness and hypocrisy of theii critics. Pretending no "hotline" t< esoterica, I have, nonetheless traveled extensively (whatevei that means) and discovered to m3 utter amazementgood and bad it .somewhat equal. regionai proportions throughout this mu4O maligned country. I reckon (Grii talk) it is a tribute to the free thinking, moderate-mindec Southerner that he endures Theii Man Hoppe, Mike Krochmalny (E liberal columnist, by his owr admission, even) and others o1 their ilk. Forgive me, however, foi pointing out an apparen1 masochistic tendency on the par of many Southerners who do no consider the day complete unti they have uncovered a Negro or his white counterpart to obligingl3 insult these latter-day Simor Legares. Oh the burden of being Confederate descendant! I havi never owned a slave; I do my owr thing; and, unlike Abe Lincoln, consider the Negro my "socia equal" in many respects. Perchance your critics can poin to the Northern utopia where in tegration has been sanctionec under the auspices of officialdorn for over a hundred years? Nay, think not. I think rather, deai Southerners, your critics havE been shaking their self-righteou! fingers at you all, while sweeping things that were not too prett) under the rugs up there in thE "promised land." So do not despair, Southerners Take down your candid "white only" signs and follow the sterling example of the North.

KIP IllVIN Cheer up Dear Mr. Wannamaker: What is wrong with the students who attend the basketball games as far as responding to the cheerleaders when the cheerleaders ask them to par CARO E. Same R . Can Get .Not The .539.7 5 .~ hy sh A great many Americans, today fear that the rapid demands of th black man will jolt the once soli foundation of America democracy. These Americans fea the demands of the now unite black community as other peopli fear the threat of an oncomiq eruption of a volcano, or a unexpected earthquake tha demolishes homes and that kill human beings. They fear what th Black Panther Party has labele as the "Black Revolution." As an individual, I will now offei reasons as to why the black mar should not wait. First of all, th black man has been in Americ from the very beginning. After th Revolutionary War, Englan 88888MM---8-9i "Young, black Americ and that death comes to their equality...they ha parents and grandpareni have experienced the ht recognized the independence of the United States in 1783. Surely, wt must know that the black man wac present during this war; we mus also know that black men gav their lives to the cause o American freedom---although the: were slaves. Why should the black man no wait? A careful reading of severa American documents will give yot the answer to this question. Th Declaration of Independence, witl its radification on July 4, 1776, i; one such document. An excerpt o this document reads: "We holc ke the S ticipate in one of the Gamecock cheers? It must be sort of em barrassing for the cheerleaders tc yell out the cheers "solo." True the student body responds won derfully to the introduction of the players and to their excellent playing, and they certainly should There is not a better team in the country---including UCLA---as we all- know. We are so proud of this tgp-vftnked: team' and- Coach Mc4uire,-but with the gaines being televised, etc. it looks like the students should be most happy to respond to their leaders and follow the cheers. As an ex-cheerleader, I know how they must feel. Believe me, Clemson puts Carolina to shame when it comes to cheering al basketball games, much as I hate to admit it. How about ad. monishing your fellow students when it comes to cheering the Gamecock cheers at the basketball games? MRIS. S. TI. JAMIISON Part of South Dear Mr. Wannamaker: I feel that the topic of the playing of "Dixie" is being treated un fairly. This song is part of the South. it is not just a fight song, but part of our heritage. The playing of "Dixie" is a tradition in the South, and I whole-heartedly support it. I can think of nothing that brings fans to their feet with such rousing enthusiasm and spirit as "Dixie." So. for those of you who feel that we who cheer to the playing of "Dixie" are "insentitive racists," take some advice: when in Rome do as the Romans. Remember, no one is forcing you to stay here.

I Black women 'were sometimes I violated because of their "disrespect." They were made to a lie in bed and to conceive children whose fathers were unwanted. Now the dream of the black man has changed. He no longer desires outh Not quite accurate Dear Mr. Wannamaker: In two recent issues of the Gamecock, statements appeared which while flattering are not quite accurate. First, Friday's editorial (February 6) related to the Student Union officers, the quote "four highly paid outside psychologists" is not quite accurate. Actually, two members of the Institute for Research on the Underprivileged gave their weekend time without remuneration because of their interest and concern. Two other outsiders served for fees that were collectively one third of the rate they as professionals receive for conducting workshops. The second point is a small one. Though we love and live with the Psychological Service Center at 1619 Green Street, it was in fact the Institute's staff which made their services available for the workshop or learning laboratory. The term "'retreat" probably is more descriptive of what armies and religious groups engage in. ~Director Institute for Research on the Uinderprivileged Senators get good R ecords Dear Mr. Wannamaker: In response to your Editorial Report of Feb. 11, I feel that a statement from Student Govern. ment about the allegations men tioned is necessary.

He now desires to be recognized as an individual-a black individual. He once sang the words of the following song: "I have a dream of a world of peace A world where troubles and strifes will one day cease Where one man can be another man's friend And it really won't matter about the color of his skin Lord, I have a dream. I have a dream about the black and the white When one day we'll all realize we're the very same in His sight Where little boys and little girls walk hand in hand And there won't be any segregation in this land Lord, I have a dream." Today, the black man no longer sings. The singing went unnoticed and had no effect on the American public. The black man now acts. He now plans his strategy and seeks equality through non-violent resistance to "white supremacy." Many whites say that the non violent approach is the wrong approach. Now that the Black Panther Party has resorted to other means, which are sometimes violent, they say that this approach is also wrong. But what is the right approach? Should the black movement come to a halt? Will this satisfy the white man? Perhaps the approaches of both black groups should be commended. Another excerpt from the Declaration of Independence would justify this. That excerpt is as follows: "That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most like to effect their safety and happiness. But when a long train of abuses and usur pations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism,' it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security." In answer to the capabilities of the black man as to his readiness to enter the mainstream of American society, I need only to mention the accomplishments of several black Americans. Booker T. Washington and George W. Carver should be especially commended for their ac complishments in education and agriculture because these ac complishments were made during the latter years of the nineteenth and during the early years of the twentieth centuries. Contributions to the American way of life have been made by numerous other seats weren't ] the front table. Students were not permitted to check other students' GPR's. Student Government had asked for a printout including only name, Social Security number, and earned hours. This was not available, so a master printout was used since the only other alter native was for students to accept whatever was already printed on their fee cards; the class standings for about 1,000 students were corrected, incidentally.

Perhaps the most prominent in our century is Dr. Martin L. King Jr. He dedicated his life to the cause of all people, and he hoped for a better America. Upon entering the mainstream of American society, the white man should have no misgivings as to the encounter by the black man of a staunch conservative. The black man is able to meet the hostile expression "nigger" with an air of intelligent repulsion; for, before the entrance into this mainstream, C Oko--YOU AO a ONA Isa Apawk *Xpeebt 4,V:43-4u.

Letter Black r4 Dear Mr. Wannamahier: I have become increasingly interested in the discussion con cerning a nauseating incident which occurred during a basket ball game at our coliseum. While we are addressing -ourselves to the problem I think it is time that I must advise you of one such in cident which occurred at the Davidson basketball game. You, in your editorial pages, have long been noted as the defender of the racially oppressed from the victimizing "bush hicks" who have invaded our campus. Well, I feel that it is time that I too be given the full protection of your noble rhetoric. While watching the Davidson basketball game I ob served several "members" of the Carolina Community who did not seem to share the enthusiasm of the other students in the play of their team. In fact the only thing which they seemed to delight in was the play of one particular As a matter of legislative policy any Senator showing up at the Coliseum before 9 a.m. rece i's seating of his choice for himself and his date.
