So Carolina gets men's open

I was at the University of Georgia

the men's dorms that occurs every
weekend from 2 p.m. to 1: 30 a.m. I
also learned that next week full

Once Upon A time a young m'an

"Ecology is the one true causet"
said Irwin nobly, just like most
young people of the time. "I shall
devote myself to making a more
beautiful world."
"Oh, my beamish boy," cried his
happy mother, like mothers
everywhere. "I knew you'd give up
those silly demonstrations and
Iettle down to doing good."
'%verybody's for ecology, son,"
said his proud father, like fathers
everywhere. "At last we've found
a common cause that will close the
generation gap."
And it did. Irwin joined the

Laugh during anthem
Dear Mr. Wannamaker:
It was my sincere misfortune at
the Davidson-Carolina basketball
game to be sitting quite near two
fellow Carolina students, both of
whom were black. The misfortune
lies not in the fact that they were
black but is due to their conduct
during the playing of our national
anthem. I, along with countless
others find much injustice and
discrimination within our country
but I feel this does not give anyone,
whether he be black or white the
cause to be disrespectful to the
anthem of his nation.
The two students mentioned
above were not merely content to
remain seated during the anthem's
playing but felt it necessary to
converse and laugh between
themselves over some particularly
funny incident that had occurred.
Their conduct not only disturbed
others around them but went far in
showing that they were ignorant to
the fact that our anthem is meant
to be sung by both black and white
alike.
Iknow of mapy black people who

Americans. It is evident by their
actions that the two cited above do
not fit into that category.

The older generation finally

generation. Everybody was happy.
But after a year or so, frwin and
his young friends discovered that
spearing litter seemed somewhat
Joyless. And circulating petitions
seemed somewhat pointless.
Nothing much got done.
Oh, Congress passed a few bills.
The corporations talked about
"corporate responsibility." The
president said the local com
munities must do more. The local
communities said Washington
must do more. And the 1972 Belch
phume-6 had 16 chromeplated
exhaust pipes. It was a best seller.
So the air got smoggier, the
waters fouler, the litter deeper and
the supermarkets more crowded.
'"These things take time, son,"
said Irwin's father nervously. "At
least you're doing good, dear,"
said Irwin's mother unestily.
