The applause resounded
forcefully from more than
400 pairs of hands, sailed
across the large Pine Island
Club house and exploded in

People moved their chairs
back from their tables
creating a loud scraping
noise in unison and stood up
to get a better glance of the
guest of honor. Way up front,
the large-framed 6'6"
Australian Liberal Party
leader squinted several
times, donned his reading
glasses and made a speech
out of saving he would not
make a speech.
His words muffled slightly
by his British accent, Fraser
tried to express gratitude to
the people of South Carolina
for making his first trip to
the South an enjoyable one.
He was making some
comments about changing
the USC horseshoe into a f

could build chariots and
compete around the brickladen
track. And he was
doing his best to reciprocate
the hospitality the people
here had given to him. It was
all immaterial.
FRASER HAD already
gained the immediate I
respect and friendship of '
everyone he met during the
day. First it was a visit to
Movietonews to view a clip
of Australia filmed decades
ago. Then, a major foreign
policy speech right down the
street in the Law School 1
auditorium and a reception i
at Russell House. It ended |
for the most part, with a 1
belated Fourth of July |

celebration, an exchanging
of gifts with USC President
James B. Holderman and a
chance to greet well-wishers
at Lake Murray.
But the respect commanded
by the man and his
ideals couldnn't be achieved
simply by listening to
"Waltzing Matilda" or to
Fraser reading a 12-page
monologue, expounding on
the threat to Third World
nations and the defense of
democracy.
It had something to do with
the fact that he was in our
midst, talking current world
issues in, of all places, the
University of South
Carolina, where the

Carolina's president was
over-eager for the prime
minister to know exactly the
way he felt, even if it was
with a half-dozen separate
speeches. But the mood was
right and the basking in the
limelight was deserved
because Fraser and
Holderman looked like old

Holderman wanted everyone
to meet the man whom h<>
had grown to admire increasingly
within 24 hours.
For the first time during
his tense trip on a rare visit
to three foreign countries,
Fraser had a chance to
unwind Wednesday night.
With the possible exception
of a fishing trip he took in

his country's Indian Ocean

worries off his mind for one
nights.
It will take many days of
reflection for South
Carolinians to realize the
impact of Fraser's visit to
USC and for the prime
| minister, the full apI
preciation of what he served
witness to, in a region of a
foreign land unlike the rest,
won't be grasped until the'

life and that familiar applause
brings him to his feet.
The South never forgets nor
