Cooper drew support from Rep. E. Juette
Wright, D-Anderson, who could report after a
personal fact-finding mission to USC: "It was
hard enough to tell the girls from the boys until I
looked at their feet. They had on dirty breeches.
If I were Dr. Jones, I would tell them to 'shape

And, as The State reported, his remarks came
"amid applause and laughter."
Defending a student's right to dress as he

go barefooted in the spring -is not necessary.
No oneo- at least, no sensible person-can
seriously equate.a person's appearance with his

minded question the individualls political and
personal rights, which shouldn't affect his
chance for an education.
If the legislators are upset by ideas, cultures,
oppearances or viewpoints which differ from
heir own, they are short-sighted indeed. If they
want to Impose their standards on college-age
adults, they are incredily presumptuous.
At any rate, their antics in the State House are
amusing for a while. But taken seriously, they
are wasteful and alarming. We trust most
legislators aren't susceptible to such drivel.
USC 'progress'
What is "progress" - USC style?
Part of it is building new classrooms, big
buildings, a bigger stadium . . . and part of it is
bulldozering black neighborhoods. The displaced
are given first priority on public housing . . .
which Columbia is only beginning of late to
construct with any sense of the crying need.
Of course, that means that others who need the
low-rent housing must look elsewhere. "Tough."
the University seems to say. The displaced are
moved away from jobs many walked to. Take the
bus if there is one that makes connections.
And their homes ... remember your home? ...
are razed while they are forgotten, handed a
check, or shipped to a project or another slum.
Tell that to friends who are separated when'a
neighborhood is "improved."
Progress may come, but something is lost.
Something which often means very much to
those who are losing it.
Think about it.

By MICHAEL BALL
Columnist
At 4:48 a.m. Saturday one
student senator and one Gamecock
columnist appeared in the garden
that is Atlanta's Emory Univer
sity. Among the stodgy buildings
and flowering plants, the Southern
Trotskyite socialists were holding
their annual conference.
With no Trots in sight, John Dore
and I slept in a dorm snack bar.
I was awakened by the rustling of
refuse under my nose, as a janitor
broomed by.
Approximately 150 stalwart
socialists gathered for the first
meeting, where Jon Rothschild
explained why socialist support the
Arab revolution. He successfully
blended reason, dogma and
rationalization, all of which held up
to dissent.
After a brief break to rally with
the garbage workers, the af
ternoon lecture was droned on by
the national organizational
secretary of the Socialist Workers'
Party. By reading a selection bf
disjointed media clippings, he
proved to hip wn satisfaction that
spoke, ha ers were oeh
sumed, frisbees thrown, and
yawns stiffled.
That night the contigent from
South Carolina, both of us, were
assigned floor space in the apart
ment of two very healthy looking
women's liberationist. I could have
easily mistaken both women for
bull dykes had I seen them in a
Manhattan bar.
One token black socialist ap
peared, then one male and one
female indocrinated comrade.
Dore had been silenced earlier
by the superior will of one of our
hostesses and dozed on the couch,
knowing enough to keep quiet.
Meanwhile I attempted to explain
to a woman Trot how South
Carolina was a matriarchal
society.
She responded with dogma I had
heard too many times before.
When I told the same woman
who had out-emoted Dore how
boring I had found the afternoon
session, she replied with incredible
sincerity. She gfind her struggle
right and just, she gg excited to
hear how her work wna being

The next morning when I saw the
tattered socialist banner in the
meeting hail, I knew it meant a lot
more than a reaffirmation of
location.
The women's liberation panel
Sunday included Lynn Wells of the
flag incident at USC fame. She
spoke calmly of the Revolutionary
Youth Movement IS stand on lib
and how violence may be justified
in their action.'
The ironies of the conference
stuck in my mind as much as the
speakers. The apartment we slept
in was next to a dirty mag mart
which made profit from selling
pictures of women's bodies. The
woman I was debating started
misting tears when explaining how
women were not more emotional
than men.
The Emory newspaper which
claims to be "the most in
dependent In the South" sent a
white photgrapher with a black
lackey to hold his strobe light. A

he had been on a garbage truck in
the morning and was covering the
lib panel then. Cups of Coke (which
has been target of imperialist
accusations by the left) cluttered
the table in front of the panel.
Somehow Rosa Luxemburg has
become one of the standards of
these Trots.
Beyond these cute things,
something substantiated this
conference.
