says Iran

Negotiation is useless in trying to
gain the release for the American
hostages in Iran, Libertarian
presidential candidate Ed Clark
said Friday.
Clark, calling himself , an
alternative candidate, told a small
group of USC students last week
me lurmou in iran is * anomer
incompetent act" of President
Jimmy Carter.*
"Negotiation is useless in Iran
because there's nobody over there
to negotiate with. It's like a fiveheaded
monster with the militants,
the premier, the Ayatollah, the
revolutionary council and the
army. Nobody knows who's in
control, ne said.
\
THE ONLY other course of
action in Iran is the use of force
which would probably result in the
immediate death of the hostages,
he said.
"They've (Iranians) said they
would kill the hostages if there's

certainly a risk. Right at this
moment, there is really nothing
that could be done to free the
hostages."
The solution to the Iraniar
problem should have been found
six or seven months ago, Clark
said. He used the example of the
Mexican government's actions
before it allowed the deposed shah
to enter the country last fall
Before Mexico admitted the shah
they removed employees froir
their embassy in Iran, which Clar*
believes the United States shoulc
have done before the shah's en
trance.

The Libertarian platform is one
of a highly competitive and
unrestricted economy, a high
emphasis on civil liberties and a
non-interventionist foreign policy.
The concept of as little government
control as possible applies to every
issue of our society, according to
Clark.
CLARK IS THE top vote-getter
in the eight-year history of the
Libertarian nartv after receiving
nearly 400,000 votes in the 1978 race
for governor of California.
Clark strongly supports the
legalization of marijuana and
other drugs, saying that it should
not be an area for government
control.
"The Libertarian Party is the
party of individual rights. We think

people dependent on Social
Security payments to continue
receiving money, but would force
all other people to devise individual
retirement savings plans.
Clark proposed that a person
would take a reduction in their
federal income taxes equal to their
Social Security payments and
either invest it or put it directly in
a savings account. People who use
this system would be much better
off financially when they retire, he
said.
"This program could bring back
more security, and put some real
savings behind retirement. We

Journalism students
to help newspaper
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - USC Journalism students have temporarily
joined the staff of a weekly South Carolina newspaper after its editor
was severely beaten.
j Wiliam E. McKenzie, Editor of the Lee County Messenger, was attacked
by unkown assailants after he left the newspaper office April 3.
He remains in satisfactory condition in Richland Memorial Hospital.
| Journalism Professor Henry Price suggested the students could help
after McKenzie's assistant Susan Starnes said the staff had faced
problems getting this week s edition out on time.
"I felt that we were in a position to help them out," Price said. He
said he got the approval of Dean Albert Scroggins "and we went
I ahead."
The agreement reached between the newspaper and the journalism
school calls for students to work at the paper on Mondays and Fridays
until at least the end of April.
Three students from senior reporting and photography practicums

Friday.

Price said. "It was agreed that we would be of best service then. On
Monday we will send three different students so that more can benefit
from this experience."
Hugh Braddock, editor of the Camden, S.C., Chronicle, part of the
chain which owns the Bishopville paper, said he was surprised but
pleased by the university's offer.
"We would have managed as best we could," Braddock said, "But
the help given by the Carolina students has eased our load considerably."

probably send some students from Prof. Mark Etheridge's reporting
class.''
| "The South Carolina Press Association has supported us (ihe journalism
school) strongly over the years," Price said. "It is a chance for
us to do something in return.
