(April 8, 1971)
AUSTIN, Tex. (UPI) A UPI
dispatch carried last week con
tained charges that Travenol
Laboratories had threatened to cut
off artificial kidney supplies which
were keeping two children of the
H.V. Holt family of Austin, Tex.,
alive unless bills owed were paid.
Investigation discloses that
these charges are untrue. Travenol
Laboratories did not threaten or
even suggest that these life
sustaining supplies would be cut
of f because of credit or for any
other reason.

DEKAR MR. BEEBE:
A short while ago your paper
wrote an especially frenetic
editorial concerning a brother and
sister who were faced with death
should a firm decide to deny them
access to a life-saving machine.
You found this incredible situation
all the proof you needed to declare
America and our institutions and
people to be hopelessly rotten and
corrupt.

radical students have for the truth,

Australian and Vietnamese

VP Still
This is referring to the cartoon in
the Gamecock of April 7 on page 2.
T1he cartoon was of Julianne Still
as President of the Student Senate,
and in my opinion it was very
detrimental and in very poor taste.
It showed the Vice President of the
Student Body fumbling with lip
stick and compact while someone
in the audience hollers, "Madame
President! May we please get
started?" I feel that cartoons and
editorials mocking our new student
government have no good use
whatsoever.
Tihe student government has
enough problems without being
undermined by the newspaper.
Please support our new govern
ment and present the officers
fairly and in good taste, for their
sake and that of the student body.
