N-a a ---n .--- ----- ----7 ------- Le World U gives aid By ROB BIGALKE Staff Writer World University Services is an apolitical international student aid organization with headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. This week WUS has been sponsoring an In ternational Bazaar in the Golden Spur-Commons Room. The purpose of the bazaar is to provide "relief and assistance" to students all over the world. Profits will be divided between the Little USC Pr6jeet and WUS. When WUS contributes money to a foreign student, that student's government must match the grant. Recently, problems arose when WUS donated money to students in Yugoslavia. This' caused some problems at USC, according to Ted Ledeen, coordinator of foreign students. "Some anti-Communist students complained and World University Services got a bad reputation," Mr. Ledeen said. 'Peacei Editors note: Edward J.

The budget includes allocations for office expenditures ($5,145), SGA stipends ($6,300) and projects ($14,601). Appropriations total half of last year's $52,000 request. The senate met as a committee of the whole and debated stipend and project appropriations. Refunds planned Towers re, fee still m One of the Men's Towers will be open during Thanksgiving break, John Blackshire, Towers vice president, said last night. Any resident who wished to stay in the dormitory should get the necessary form today at the Housing Office. An $8 fee which is being charge will be refunded on a proportionate basis after hall counselors and head residents on duty for the break have been paid, Blackshire said. The charge will depend on the number of men who stay in the dormitory. Hall counselors will receive $15 and head residents $25. The initial instructions from the Housing Office were that the $8 fee would be charged with no refunds and that Towers residents would have to move to Bates House for the weekend. A petition which disapproved of the first policy was signed by 409 Towers residents Tuesday, Blackshire said. "The big gripe was the fee. I feel that after speaking with Housing they've accep task of achieving world com munism. On May 23. 1970, Mao Tse 'rung publicly promised to support the radical groups in the United States who are attempting to destroy American society." Rozek said. "Undoubtedly, President Nixon is just as devoted to the cause of peace as the demonstrators against his South Vietnam policies, but more responsibly. He wishes to preserve along with peace our heritage of freedom. The main objective of American foreign policy is a determination to help those who want to have their own 1775. "Today we are witnessing a revival of pacifist propaganda against the defensive and restrained but firm policy of the United States which serves as the only shield and deterrent against further communist expansion. In the absence of peace-mongers at any price in Moscow, Peking and Hanoi. the only effect American pacifist propaganda will have Is to erode the will to resist in the West and to strengthen the communist hope that the free world will retreat in installments. 'President Nixon understands the nature of the present protracted strategy of communism and its meaning to all who want to remain free. Like President Truman in 1947 and 1946, he is determined to oppose the further expansion of communism.

Like a lot of other traditions around this place, it died a while back. Each year, before the now defunct "Big Thursday" game with Clemson, fraternity men took turns ringing the bell in the Rutledge Chapel tower for a full 24 hours. This tradition died sometime in the '50s but has been revived in a slightly different form. The old bell rang during the pep rally last night. It is scheduled to begin it Nazi 1 groups in Europe inadvertently contributed to the tragedy of World War 11 in which 40 million people perished. "They feared that gas-warfare would exterminate all. They must share the blame for that catastrophe. Had foreign policy of the appeasers not been reversed, Europe and other parts of the world would have become a vast concentration camp." "The recently centrally manipulated attacks on President Nixon for his firm stand against international communism outside the borders of the United States must bring back memories of the late 1930's when the Nazis. pro Nazis and those who were confused by Nazi propaganda urged that peace could be saved by ap peasement of Hitler's imperialistic demands. of"Anyone who advocated a policy offirm opposition to the Munich type diplomacy was roundly condemned as a war-monger, trigger-happy and dangerous. 'Ihe most despised man of th'at period was Winston Churchill because he rejected appeasement as a method of preserving peace.

After obtaining printers' estimates, the committee requested $1.300. A requested $2,705 en vironmental affairs appropriation was cut to $705 despite committee chairman Karen Ballington's protest. Upperclass senator-at large Jean Neal said that since the project is new, environmental affairs should learn where to ef fectively use its funds and could then request additional funds. Secretary for Minority Affairs Oliver Washington saw his $700 budget request more than doubled to $1500. The allocation includes funds for seminars on racism and a black entertainment week. Sen. Clint Sloan of Men's Towers thinks the $1500 grant is not enough. "Look at the racism in the state of South Carolina," he said. "in Greenville they just put the National Guard on alert."

"The guys in the legislature are the ones we have to go to to get more money for buildings," he said. "The riots down here hurt us. A lot of the legislators identify all the students down here with the ones who rioted." Other allocations included funds for Metropolitan Education Fund (M.E.F.), which provides recreation and volunteer workers for underprivileged neigh borhoods, and an answering service for student body president Mike Spears. A new appropriation provides funds for a full-time student government receptionist to handle executive affairs. Other senate business included a report by Capstone senator Julie Royall, academic affairs chair man. Sen.

At least one thing is certain. If the tradition continues, it will certainly test the ingenuity of the students, something this university also hasn't done in quite a while. Rozek from human nature. "We must hope and pray that peace will last a thousand years, b)ut we must be ready for war tomorrow if the communist tyrants decide to start one. In these trying days it will be well to remember that another president said, "We hav'e nothing to fear but fear itself.
