Are you really hurting so badly for copy that you have to import unbombastic writers front -the land of fruits and nuts? Like we have our own supply of mis-fits here in USC! We can mangle the King's English quite as well as Jerry Farber. Have you ever noticed how these malcontents seem to ac cumulate in the Departments of English, History and Philosophy? Whenever an English teacher falls back upon vernacular in his writing to be understood or to attract attention as an author, he is usually admitting failure. I've had a good deal of experience with vulgarities around the world and could no doubt, blister poor Mr. Farber's ears, if not some less clean part of his anatomy. Stepp back Force By CARL STEPP Associate Editor South Carolina leaders have long practiced sanity in civil rights. At Orangeburg two years ago, they sanely sent in troops. At Voorhees last spring, they sanely sent in troops. In Charleston this summer, they sanely sent in troops. Sanity has reigned, along with an occasional bullet, a death or two, and law and order in general. TIhere was trouble at Voorhees again this week. The black students were objecting. Four of their respected profs had beern booted. And, to top it off, the black students were actually upset that the head of their board of trustees is white. It was clearly a threat to law and order, so our leaders sanelh arme-d. Perhaps mobilized is better word. Most students wert sent home; two were arrested tor tr-espassing on their own campus T'he school's president was nowhere to be found. And, just ir WHICH WAY?

I would hope that all U. students do oc casionally read articles they disagree with. In communication, effective vernacular is intended to travel only from mouth to ears. It does not usually flow from a reasoning mind to paper. This is not to say Mr. Farber has no brain because he does seem to have a degree or two. He is, though, extremely stupid. He has insulted the in telligence and thereby alienated every sensible reader above the age of 14 who endure his diatribe through to the end. You may be too young to remember the evils of propaganda under its' worst connotation. But this is the type of yellow literature rtchteves case, the National Guard was ready. Sanity? Such insensitivity to human . concerns is unparalled. Forget the students have legitimate gripes, forget they are people, forget that "normal channels" often fail to respond. Forget the people and fetch the cops. The kids are causing trouble. It is a tragedy that South Carolinians can really believe in its racial moderation, still after three kids are dead and Voorhees It is also tragic that Voorhees and South Carolina---didn't heed last year's message. When the black students armed and barricaded themselves on campus, a sensitive state would have suspected that problems went deeper than guns and angry words, a progressive college would have sought prompt and thorough solutitons. South Carolina has seldom proven to have that courage. After the Orangeburg debacle, the police FLEETWAY!!

JACOB R. KOEHLER C ourage praised Dear Mr. Wannamaker: Your courage in printing "student as Nigger" in the face of predictable moralistic reactionism to its unabashed tone, as well as sure pedagogic backlash to its content merits praise. Con temporary University supports your effort to usher USC into the stark reality of 20th Century America. Jerry Farber's essay stands as an indictment leveled at the bulwark of an authoritarian system whose questionable legitmacy bears such examination. It is our hope that students pursuing a vital educational experience will no longer remain passive to this system of mis-education; but in stead will strongly voice its disapproval and push for academic reform. May we add that although the University is on the threshold of a brighter era, it is only by the persistent la bor of individuals such tos yunase tone wel aseeor coente sceslemeritgie on-h youhr effor.

Morale in the capital of Sag On was low. "At the rapid rate America is withdrawing her troops," said Premier Hoo Dat Don Dar morosely, "the last G.I. will be on his way home in only twelve more years. We shall sorely miss them." "Particularly those of us in the bar and restaurant business," said the Finance Minister, General Nho Diem Ghud. "Without these bottle scarred, two-fisted drinking men to support us, the whole country will go broke. What will we do?" "Follow me," said General Pak Opp Ngo, a born leader. "Wait, cousins!" said the Recreation Director, General Ghet Sa Lot.

He has a plan to save us." Von Krumm bowed, clicked heels and disclosed the solution in a single word: "Disneyland!" "Another inscrutable Oriental nut," muttered Vice Premier Hoo Da t Opp Dar under his breath. But as von Krumm talked, interest mounted. "We shall call it 'Auntie Kommie Land,' he said. "Each tourist will pay a handsome fee to a General at the gate---half of which the General will put in the till, and the other half in his pocket. "Once inside, the tourist will be offered a number of exciting rides. He will pay once for each ride at the beginning. Then, midway through, a Viet-Narian guerrilla in black pajamas will collect again at gunpoint. "The feature attraction will be a towering papier-mache mountain, known as 'Cheeseburger Hill.' The tourist will be given the challenge of trying to struggle to the top on loot against innumerable, over whelming obstacles." "And if he reaches the top, he gets a prize?" asked Gc!Pral Wyn Na Phieu politely. "No, he gets carried down on a stretcher," explained von Krumm. "And there are a number of other attractions, like the exciting Tonkin Gulf ride aboard a simulated destroyer." "What happens on that?" asked General Lu Sa Phieu. "Nothing," said von Krumm. "But it sets the stage for the Simulated Bombing Runs, com-' plete with Simulated Naplam.
