We received no reprimands or even discourtesies for our sit-in. Copies of the same statement have been forwarded to Governor Robert E. McNair (in the form of a letter bearing the signatures of a number of Davidson students) and to Mr. Mike Spears, president of the USC student body. "We are staging a one-hour sit-in here at Davidson this morning to emphasize our concern and our sympathy for students at the University of South Carolina. We ar, appqed,atthe arrests of forty-one students during a sit-in at their student union Iaist week. We fail to see why these students were forcibly removed from their own student union and then charged with trespass. Also, we are unable to accept Governor Robert E.

The work was the result of 20 years research by two respected scientists at their Reproductive Hiology Clinic in St. Louis. There they had been giving couples courses in sexual attitudes and techniques with classroom seminars and plenty of homework. Newspapers accounts of the clinic had their most immediate impact on the campus of Skarewe UJniversity. The students, having created a Black Studies Program. kicked out all corporate recruiters, abolished ROTC and blown up the statue of General Skidmore Skarewe as an example of male chauvinism, had just tied up Dean Grommet again and were won dering what to demand next.

According to The Charlotte Observer of Thursday May 14, "The men were taken to the State Department of Corrections and, regardless of the length of their hair, shaved and then sprayed with disinfectant and given prison uniforms." Particularly offensive is the fact that many of those students so treated uninvolved in the alleged disturbances, a grim reminder of the senseless slayings of four students at Kent State last week. So we are staging our own sit-in here this morning to show officals in* South Carolina that students have a right to use their own student' urnions as forums for free expression. We also wish to demonstrate our deep concern for the personal safety of all students at the University of South Carolina and to express our sympathy for them at this time. We hope that the presence of National Guardsmen and state police on their campus will not result in yet another senseless slaughter of students. DAVID SWEATT tes progr "Hey, listen to this!" cried SDS President Jack Armstrong, waving a paper. "In St. Louis they've got a kind of College of Sexual Knowledge. Boy, does that ever sound relevant!" Dean Grommet said, on his gag being removed, what wise deans say these days. He said he thought it was a fine idea. The following week, the Sex Studies Program was launched at Skarewe University. It was a smashing success. No less than 92.4 per cent of the student body promptly enrolled in the four-year program leading to a H. S. or Bachelor of Sex degree.

From The Charlotte Observer trike; Dear Mr. Wannamaker: Monday afternoon three representatives from our University showed us what was to be gained from the recent student protest. They were a student, a faculty member and an administrator. Those present and those who read about it did notice that interest was involved and most of all progress made. They finally saw organization and communication. I believe this was a big step but will it stop there? As a USC basketball player, people never cease to ask me what is happening on the court or who will be our next prospect. This is great and because of this my in terest in basketball is kept aroused througlout the entire ,yer. I have gotten involved because of my personal feelings and because I feel I owe it to the students, faculty, administration and people outside the University who care a great deal about USC. They have supported Carolina Basketball and I want to support them in their effort to continue making USC a highly recognized university. The faculty has offered to set up a board to go outside the University and explain exactly what the students are doing and There were naturally some protests from stuffy parents. Imagine the shock of Hiram Dootey, on paying a surprise visit to his daughter's dorm, to find her preparing a position paper on Interesting Far East Positions with the help of a young male classmate. "But, golly, Daddy," said young D)aphne 'Dootey indignantly, "when it comes to preparing myself for life this makes more sense than Etruscan funeral orations. I just want to make some man the best wife in the world." "Couldn't you take cooking and sewing instead'?" suggested Mr. Diootey weakly. "Who wants the best sewing wife in the world'?" replied Daphne. "I want to be the best .. "D)aphne!" cried her father, retiring in defeat. 'The change in campus attitudes was dramatic.

What they fail to mention is that I believe the ad ministration deserves a chance to prove what they can do. I watched many of my friends get knocked around and my basic aim is to help these students who I know can be better represented with my help.

However, I sneered at. were now the most popular. While a higher per cen tage of students broke down from overwork, the rewards of good study habits were gratifying. Daphne, on graduating magna cum laude, received 373 proposals from all over the world - two of them for marriage. None are happier than Dean Grommet. There hadn't been a riot since the program began. Some ascribed this to the student body's daily listlessness. But the Dean saw a higher meaning. "For years we tried to interest the students in the subjects we offered," he said, "instead of of ering the one subject that in terested them. No wonder we failed." "BHut teaching them only sex..." said a trustee, frowning. ''Good heavens!" said the Dean, surprised. "What else did they ever learn in college anyway'?"

At the present time, I am stationed with the 25th Infantry Division in Cu Chi, Vietnam which is approximately 20 miles from Cambodia. I spent two years at the University prior to my enlistment into the Army. I, therefore, was very disturbed yesterday and again today to hear of the disturbance which is taking place on campus because of the recent decision by President Nixon to send troops into Cambodia. People who chant, "one, two, three, four, we don't want to go to war," must realize that we are in a war. The President's decision to send troops into Cambodia was prompted by the fact that you cannot fight a war when the enemy has a safe haven of refuge less than fifty miles from the capital of the country you are defending. This haven was within view of Allied Forces who could see the enemy walking about freely and until recently could nothing about it. In the weeks since President Nixon's actions there have been hundreds of tons of weapons, ammunitions and food that would have been used against us in coming weeks had we not gone in and captured them. I have not been sent to Cambodia and do not know if I will, but I am prepared to go if so ordered because it is my belief and the belief of many others in my platoon that the only way to safely with draw from Vietnam is to protect ourself to the fullest during our withdrawal. I. therefore, ask you to support the President because I believe this is his reason for sending troops to Cambodia. I hope to return to USC when I am discharged from the Army in nine months. I, therefore, hope to enroll at a peaceful institution of higher learning rather than a battlefield of useless violence. PFC DENNIS WAL,SH is: AWiAWARDS ISO *S00N* - WW EX"T..
