issue of The Gamecock. The issue of
youtli involvement in the political,
moral and social realities of our
world is very important and quite
pertinent to our generation.

questions in our world. I am not advocating
renouncing the ambition for
material success. I do advocate thinking,
analyzing, and when appropriate,
acting on any issue that
moves us.
To be aware of the issue, to feel
strongly about an issue and to act
upon an issue (as did the students at
the Univeristy of Massachusetts and
University of North Carolina) is not
subversive, or "leftist," but rather
essential to the political and social
system in the United States. We must

and the institutions supported by the
system. Through an analysis of differing
views and a comprehensive
evaluation of an issue, a more meaningful
and workable solution can be
reached.
Anders Linder, a Swedish
economist, stated this quite well:

the highest principle, the social

Fund-raisers
don't harass
To the editor:
No one needs to look, because collection
cans are here to stay. Paula
Wojtowicz has gone too far and
made some very mistaken claims in
her letter to the editor of Feb. 26.
First, USC organizations are more
original, contrary to what Wojtowicz
believes. There are many activities
around campus other than coin collecting
that are sponsored by our
organizations. Scholarship raffles,
bake sales, fashion shows and contests
are just a few of the things offered.
There are a number of other
fund-raisers ? the collection cans are
just the tip of the iceberg.
When USC organizations are collecting
money for a philanthropy,
they do not stand around and harass
other students, as Wojtowicz
believes. We pick the patio and
bridge because these are the most
common areas where students can

Obviously, Wojtowic/. does nc
realize where this money is goinj
She calls us "so-called charitabl

as her ideas about volunteering an

but we already do thos

Federal debt

i- the financial crisis bad times would
produce.
)t For 144 years, the regulation of
;. lives and providing was wisely left to
le the states, as intended by our foun)
ding fathers. Following such policy
i- today could solve our awful debt pro)t
blem. President Andrew Jackson
>r called it "protection for all, favors ^
ir for none."
d In 1933, CotiRress switched to: I
- "Provide, regulate, spend, borrow,
;e tax." Now, blinded for years by
federal handouts, we face colossal
t- debt, high taxes, giant bureaucracy
is (1,200 overlapping agnccies), many !
e duplicating work of the states, en- j
0 dangering our freedoms and nation's
1. credit; and there are no reserves for
ir rainy days or debt payments.
Thomas Paine would ask, "Did your ;
g ancestors come to America, and did [
r- men die on battlefields for that?" ,

grcss, "Continued deficit spending
it must ultimately endanger all governn
ments." Is Congress endangering our
le government by ignoring his warning? [
Needed is an amendment requiring
balanced budgets. Has your state requested
it? We could pay the debt in
r, 50 years by reducing it two percent
a per year. Great interest savings
n would result.
Now's the time for all of us to i
write Congress to stop pussyfooting
and get our federal financial house in
order so we can save our God-given h
freedom for ourselves, our children 1;
and our grandchildren. ij
