3b of police sn't harassment The House Internal Security Committee has begun an Investigation of the Black Panther Party. If you don't remember, the Internal Security Committee, under their old namre---the House Committee on Un-American Ac tivities---thought up the apple-pie and motherhood idea of having concentration camps ("'detention camps," they called them) for Americans in the event of "insurrection." The McCarran Act provided for "various detention centers to be operated throughout the country and these might well be utilized for the temporary imprisonment of warring guerrillas," ihe Committee sala. Now that they have decided to study the Peinthers, a few incidents they should investigate are: --incidents'in New York and Indiana where government agents insinuated themselves into Panther units and at tempted to induce them to burglarize, even offering automatic weapons, providing a map of the likely target, a getaway car and more weapons. --excessive stops of Party members in New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, California and Wisconsin. The recurrant stops rarely result in traffic violations, arrest of a known fugitive or charges of illegal possession of weapons. They more often produce the traditional catch---disorderly conduct, resisting arrest or interference with an officer. --on June 4 Chicago police undertook a dawn raid on Panther headquarters with a warrant for the arrest of George Sams, but no search warrant. Upon smashing in the door of the office and failing to find Sams, officers broke furniture, confiscated literature, lists of donors and petitions and arrested eight Panther members on charges which were later dismissed. on June 5 Detroit police staged a similar raid, breaking down the door, photographing documents, arresting Panthers. They were later released. Anti-Panther sentiment is high. Agnew has called them a "completely irresponsible, anarchistic group of crininals." Assistant Attorney-General Jerris Leonard has said, "The Black Panthers are nothing but hoodlums and we've got to get them."' The president of the Cleveland Fraternal Order of Police suggests, "the country doesn't need the Black Panther Party, to my way of thinking, they need to be wiped out." (Facts and quotes supplied by American Civil Liberties Union.) The appointed duty of the police of our country is the apprehension of persons suspected of breaking the law, not those suspected of belonging to the Black Panther Party and harassing them. It is time to end harassment and murder for political reasons. A proper investigation would be the police department and which politicians pull the strings.

Stepp back Drab "Student Rules & Regulations, 1969-70,'" author unknown, University of South Carolina, 1969 A Review By CARL STEPP Associate Editor The characters don't exist, the style is drab, but the plot is brilliant: a carefully conceived compilation of do's and don'ts guaranteed to keep the mightiest radical in line, to thwart the sneakiest student. The student who hasn't read this book should do so immediately. Not only does it state his rights, but it constantly reminds him of his wrongs. And he learns that half of what he does is institutionally illegal. It is forbidden, for example, to wash your car on campus, to at tach scotch tape to your walls, and ing lot' infirmary. Aiso, where did he obtain the elastic bandage? I wouldn't be surprised if it were given to him free of charge. After all, what more can be done for a swollen ankle? Let Mommy kiss it, poor baby. The author's second "case" shows that he has little knowledge of the facts and is the victim of a case of gross exaggeration. Furthermore, I hardly think any of the infif-mary's staff would be "amused" to see anyone in pain. Perhaps the author mistakes some kind of pleasantries and reassurance for "apathy". Would he rather be treated like a dying invalid? It certainly is a shame that students are so quick to criticize the infirmary when it is apparent that the staff is making the best of some very inconvenient conditions and facilities. There are probably thousands of students who would testify to the fine care they have received there. It's too bad that most of us find it easier to find fault than to see the good.

"Illegal use of old laboratory reports" ranks just after cheating, and food in dorm rooms is a no-no. For the collector of trivia, there are absorbing tidbits. If you want to leave Carolina, for instance, you don't simply go away. You are instructed to apply for an "honorable discharge." While dishonorable discharges aren't mentioned, it should be noted that your departure can be hastened by a variety of methods. Probably the best is found in Chapter IV, section one, where "the University reserves the right, in the interest of all of its students, to decline admission, to suspend, or to require the withdrawal of a student when for any reason it is deemed to be in the interest of the University." And while we're considering glaring generalities, it should be noted that "registration at the University involves the students' acceptance of not only the published regulations, but also all rules found in any official an nouncement." Your general behavior had better improve also, because according to Article 4 of the State laws of South Carolina, it is illegal (repeat illegal) "to act in an ob noxious manner" on campus. Punishment for such lawbreaking is a $10 to $100 fine or a 10-30 day sentence. Letters policy L,etters to the editor should be typed, double 'pace, on a 7o.space line.

If you belqpg to a campus group, for example, and you want to have a picnicd, you should know that all picnics must be registered with the dean of men ("on the Wednesday prior to the proposed date of the function"). Furthermore, they may be held only "on Saturday, Sunday or school holidays," may not begin before 1:30 p.m., and may not continue after 8:30 p.m. Nowhere in SR&R 1969-70, surprisingly enough, are you forbidden to read SR&R in your room. You probably should. The style and character may be a little loose, but the plot is interesting and the book is full of laughs. Even in your neat room you must beware because you may be subject to a "general inspection." Says SR&R 1969-70, "General inspections are not considered search and can be made when appropriate . . . " It fails to in dicate who it is that doesn't con sider such an inspection as a search. By now you've probably decided to remain in your dorm room to avoid joining the criminal ranks. You should be warned, however, that SR&R 1969-70 is still taking care of you. You are "held responsible for the good order and cleanliness of (your) room." In fact, "the University will not sweep or clean rooms except periodically-." Although "periodically" is not defined here, it is generally taken to be whenever you're peacefully sleeping and the maids bang on your door. But be careful how loudly you laugh. "Loud noises" are specifically ruled out.
