The student solons had adjoured for the day and had gone back to their hotels to take a look at the controversial issue of cen suring John Foard, to get some t rest, and not least of all to get down I to the business of serious drinking. The USC delegation held a caucus, which started an hour late, to tell the smaller colleges the facts concerning Foard and his ] relation with-USC. Mike Spears got up in the midst of the crowded, smoky motel room and told the overflow crowd about the Solicitor and his bad doings.

It got to be a bit boring after a 'ime as more things I had already ieard were stated, including his persecution of Dr. Thomas F. Jones and the Seratoma lottery incident. I walked down the hall and was standing at the elevator when I was approached by one of the student legislators. "Hey, got your chance yet?" I asked him on what and he said, "We're raffling off twenty dollars worth of booze. Twenty-give cents a chance." I told him I could afford that and said, "A suppose you know ihis makes us no better than Foard." He shrugged. So did I.

Yet even the most doctrinaire liberal will tell you, when pressed, that law and order is essential for a free and ordered society. But why is he so reluctant to openly defend it? The answer partly lies in the liberal's myoptic view of humam nature. He views man as basically good, basically rational, and very willing to perform whatever is necessary for his good and for society as a whole. So when someone deviates from accepted moral standards, his criminal activity must be explained in terms of something other than his moral character. Poor housing, poor education, slum environment, or ignorance will serve as the scapegoat. Since poor housing, poor education, etc., create criminals, the answer is to eradicate these undesirable conditions, and then to rehabilitate the criminal. The liberal in stinctively cringes from the stiff punishments that the term "law and order" connotes. He considers them harsh, cruel, repressive. QUESTIONS A few questions need to be asked. First, how does one explain the rising crime rate among affluent, well-educated, middle-class youth? Second, how does one know for sure that poor living conditions produce criminal activity? It could just as logically be argued that moral shortcomings in the ghetto dweller produce slums. Third, why has the crime rate skyrocketed as fast as expenditures on federally financed social welfare programs? To circumvent the spiritual difficulties that arose with the use of the term "law and order," liberals coined their own phrase: "law and order with justice." Yet what do they mean by justice? Most of them to this day won't admit the Rosenburg spies received justice. When a confessed murderer is turned loose on the most trivial of technicalities, a liberal instinctively feels happy that the criminal beat the rap. But certainly that is not justice.

Why did liberals such as Martin Luther King sanction disobedience of segregation laws, and then turn around and condemn those such as Ross Barnett who counseled defiance of integration laws? Why do they call for sanctions against Rhodesia because of apartheid there, and totally ignore the caste system of India? Why did liberals tolerate extremely loose con struction of the Constitution In suring the drive for integration and then suddenly become legal fun damentalists during the McCarthy era? Why do liberals cry about pigs placed in the Russell House to enforce anti-drug laws, and then complain when there are no cops behind the War Memorial to en force anti-rape laws? LIBERAL JUSTICE To a liberal, justice is always on the side of the poor, the black, and the young, and hardly ever on the side of the rich or established. If an individual is poor or black, and he receives injustice from a rich, white, well established businessman, the injustice should be corrected. But the reverse is also true. There is a story that illustrates what liberal intuitions fired by youthful irrationality can produce. During a time of racial trouble in a South Carolina high school, one socially committed girl claimed that if a fight developed developed between a black and a white, she would call for the ex pulsion of the white boy, regar dless of who was at fault. Liberals should cease to con strue the law as an agent of social good, but should see the law as a device constructed by the civilizing forces in society to protect decent people from the baser elements that are always present. Liberals tried to produce social justice and racial harmony through the law with such programs as urban renewal and school integration, but urban renewal has resulted in federally financed slums. School integration has failed almost completely in the North (before his death, Bobby Kennedy refused to call for busing in New York) and is about to fail down South. Instead of social justice, the result has been swollen federal ibudgets and ill-will between the A r nt 'Blue Bell, Inc maker of world-famous WRANG] November 17, 1970 to interview ministrative and production m engineering, ar1d accounting.

USC sets dedication The University will hold dedication ceremonies for its new George Terry Spring Sports Center today at 1:00 p.m., adding yet another gem to the growing list of outstanding USC athletic facilities. The center, called by Director of Athletics, Paul Dietzel "the finest facility of its type in the world," is named in memory of George J. Terry, former long-time Dietzel aide and former assistant Director of Athletics at the University of South Carolina, who died in 1969. Terry, who had served on Dietzel's staff at LSU, Army and South Carolina since 1955, was called "one of the finest football coaches I have ever known" and "a most marvelous man" by the USC head football coach when making the announcement of the dedication. Tne building is located adjacent to the Roost, the University's residence-dining facility for student athletes at the North end of the 22 acre Rex Enright Athletic Center.
