IJ SC professor
tries changing
'the system'
William Kreml, a USC political science professor, who is running f<
the U.S. Senate in November, is fighting a battle he can't win.
IT'S HIGHLY UNLIKKLY that Kreml will unseat Ernest "Fritz
Hollings (D-S.C.) and even if he should, it's questionable exactly wh;
Kreml's policies or stands on various issues will be.
The USC professor is trying a major overhaul in trying to change tl
system. He is proposing to change the Constitution, something which
not only unrealistic but impractical.
KHKMI, IS TRYING by fantastic means to change what he calls "tl
government that just can't do anything anymore." He claims that 1
has received tremendous support in his campaign, but with vagi
stands on almost every issue, there is little chance that we will se
William Kreml in the U.S. Senate in 1980.
However, there has been a great deal of positive effectiveness by tl:
Kreml campaign at the Carolina Community. People, especial]
students, are being made aware of what the political system is like an
the pure courage of Kreml to take a hiatus from teaching to change tl
system is commendable
Mr. Kreml is also informing Columbia of his efforts through a sent
of "Pub' :c Forums." Two have already been held. The crowds hav
usually been large and responsive.
THE THIRD FOKUM is scheduled for May 2 when Kreml will spea
about "The Hole of America in the Emerging World Order." Hopefully
his popularity and supports will increase to the point that Kreml ca

The Gamecock realizes that Kreml has an uphill climb in his battle t
change the present political systems of the U.S. We also fully suppoi
his efforts and appreciate his concern for what is a hard-to-chang
complex, constitutional network of stubborn senators and ancient idea:
It's difficult to understand why Kreml has abondoned his teachin
career in order to challenge for something he realistically can't hope t
achieve, but it is heartening to know that at least one person at USC ha
taken the initiative to try and change the system.

It's never too late to begin an improvement project. Morgan Grahar
of Lake City, who is either 106 or 110 years old, has proven just that b
becoming the oldest recipient of a Farmers Home Administration grar
to aid the elderly in repairing the homes.
Graham in considered by the Social Security Commission to be 10
while his family Bible puts his birthday in 1890.
He was granted $5,000 by the FmHA to insulate and repair the roof c
his home. Graham bought the house in 1938 for $85.
The grant is part of a program which has about $35,000 available i
the Sixth Congressional District every three months.
People over 62 can apply for the grant program. Inspectors are ser
to homes to determine eligible applicants.
The Km HA appears to be one program that has taken positive steps I
