VOL. LXII -NO. 15 University of South Carolina, Columbia, S. C. 2920A MONDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1971 Floyd c R By KARIN BURCHSTEAD Staff Writer President Nixon's talk of visiting Red China already has caused repercussions throughout the world, especially in Southeast Asia, according to Rep. Floyd Spence. "These countries are wondering just what is our position on the containment of China," Spence told a small group of mostly Oriental students Friday night at Capstone. "I'm not sure I understand Nixon's position myself," the Republican congressman said. The United States has proposed to seat Communist China on the United Nations Security Council while retaining General Assembly membership for Nationalist China. Spence said the State Depart ment rationale on the China issue is that the question is not one of membership, since China is already represented, but how China shall be represented. "They are legally deciding for the enemy," Spence said. The United States has a good chance of losing on the Albania 8 win Mungo grants Eight Michael J.

"If Taiwan is expelled from the General Assembly, Congress will reassess its funding of the United Nations," Spence said. "Our financial support is all out of proportion. "We are becoming outnumbered in the United Nations by nations with populations of less than 500,000, while indirectly we are paying their dues through foreign aid," he said. Spence cited these new emerging nations as a threat to our success in having the Important Question Resolution considered before the Cocd McKendree Spring, a roc music ranges from folk features a lead violin and v 'Jobs Eui employm Dr. F.X.

"We have already compromised our position," Spence said. "Communist China has not even applied for membership, yet we are ready to help them along," Spence said. "They have not even agreed to accept the principles of the United Nations. "I ask you if Communist China can be considered peaceloving when they have killed up to 70 million of their own people and have started insurrections throughout Southeast Asia," he said. "Later this month when the issue is decided, the people of the world are going to know how much we like our friends and how much we help our enemies," he said.

Hu, a first year International Studies graduate student, said recent reports by visitors to Mainland China have not reflected the true situation there. He commented that Scottie Reston's (New York Times' columnist) report on the amazing medical progress of Communist China does not coincide with the experience of an Englishman, who was treated in five different hospitals before "the great thoughts of Mao cured him." Hu said an average of 80 Nationalist Chinese Freedom Fighters have sacrificed their lives each year since 1949 on Mainland China. VI ment at approximately 9: 30 Friday ockfest at Carolina Stadium.

"These activities have shown the people of Mainland China that there is an outside world and that there is another way of living," Hu said. The people of Taiwan cannot be positive they will win the struggle, Hu continued. "Turn back to 1776. Your ancestors also could not be sure they were going to win, but they fought on and were willing to dedicate themselves to freedom and liberty," he said. Cockfest features fireworks One of the largest aerial fireworks displays ever seen in this area is promised for "Cockfest '71" the night of Oct. 15 at Carolina Stadium, according to Edward Craig, Cockfest chairman. Craig said more than $1,000 in fireworks will be seen by persons attending the two-hour ex travaganza. One of the fireworks pieces, he said, will explode in mid air to form an American flag. The fireworks spectacular will come near the end of "Cockfest," an event billed by chairman Craig as "s'omething for all Gamecock fans and their families." The program also consists of a pep rally at which the football team members and coaches will be introduced, performances by bands from S. C. State College and USC, comical skits done by USC student organizations, and a salute to the Homecoming Court. All contestants for Homecoming Queen will be introduced, and as a salute, spectators will be aked to light a match for a moment. Commentary on the events will be provided by Bob Fulton, "voice of the Gamecocks," and Dave Wright of WIS Radio-TV, who will act as emcees. (ContinUed on Page 4) Correction The Gamecock reported Friday, Oct. 8 that the USC Student Senate had passed a resolution censuring, the State of S.C. for flying the Confederate flag over the state capitol building. This is incorrect. The Student Senate DID NOT PASS such a resolution, although it may be con sidered later. The Gamecock regrets the error.
