VOLUME 29—NUMBER 26 NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1965 $2.00 Per Year Looking A head ... by Dr. Geyrg# S. Benton PRESIDENT—NATIONAL EDUCATION .'ROCRAM Seercy, Arkentee THE REDS ASSAULT THE CAMPUSES Two recent controversies related to campus infiltration and aca demic freedom have flared into national prominence, one in New Jersey and the other in North Carolina. These were preceded, of course, hy the “foul speech” move ment on the Berkeley campus of the University of California which probably should have reduced some of the issues to ludicruous absurdity. Vice President Humph rey, an old academic hand, quipped some truth recently when he told one campus that while everyone has a ri^-ht to speak, not every one deserves to be taken seriously. Nevertheless, the Red infiltration proceeds. An educational institution, op erated publicly or privately, has no obligation to offec a propa ganda platform to radicals, whe ther they are on the faculty or sponsored by some on-campus or off-campus group. The dispute at Rutgers, a state university, in volved Eugene Genovese, a self- styled Marxists on the faculty who bad boldly declared that he would welcome a Viet Cong victory in Vietnam. This is hardly the kind of professor that New Jersey tax payers, whose sons are in the M arines in South Vietnam, would gladly support. Understandably, the matter quickly become a political issue in the governor’s race, with the in cumbent Governor Hughes, de fending, even promoting, the pro fessor. His opponent found on in vestigation that Genovese has written material for Marxist per iodicals that is considered radical even by leaders of the Communist Party, U.S.A. The professor is said to be the guiding hand in a conference that is scheduled at Rutgers for socialist “scholars” this fall. The aggregation to as semble there doubtless will pro vide leadership for future teach- ins, if not riots and insurrection. Such scholars as these are in the minority, but it is obvious that the new breed of radicals is having an impact on governmental ac tions and decisions. The Speaker Ban Problem Down in North Carolina the state has a law pased in 1963 that prohibits Communists or any per son who plead the Fifth Amend ment from speaking on the cam puses of state supported univer sities and colleges. Gov. Moore has opposed efforts to repeal it, but he is concerned whether fin ances from federal and private sources might dry up if accredi tation is lost because of the law. The Southern Association of Col leges, if you can imagine it, has told the Governor that accredita tion may be lost if the law is not repealed. At stake is some $83.7 million in federal grants and $9.56 million from private foundations. So the Governor has appointed a commission to examine the law, with the idea of asking for repeal of the law if necessary. The peo ple of North Carolina should stand firm against these shrewd propaganda asaults. What kind of accrediting agency is it that could set itself up as political counselor and take part in the drive to get the Reds accepted on campus? One can imagine the good people of North Carolina being confront ed with suave intellectuals who promise that higher education re quires exposure to all kinds of ideas. Well of course, but this does not require shelter for rad icalism that would destroy the American way of life. Losing Our Values All of this seems to be part of a program the Communist are un dertaking to infiltrate higher ed ucation. They need youth, and they are out to get what they can. Some startling testimony of their success has come recently from Dr. Stefan T. Posony, of Stasn- ford University’s Hoover Institu tion for international political studies. He told the Senate In ternal Security Subcommittee that “radicalization of American youth has gone beyond the wildest ex pectations of the Communists,” even toward rebellion against tra dition and discipline of the Com munist party itself. Dr. Posony went on to say that the national and international significance of what is going on in the colleges now is far greater than it was in the 1930’s when the Reds were establishing cells and socialist clubs on campuses everywhere. What is happening, he indicated, could go far to ward “paralyzing national will” and changing our attitudes, be havior, and value systems. Exhibits judged at Newberry- Saiuda Fair By MRS. A. H.

COUNCIL MEET DEVOTED TO REZONING Revision of the Zoning Ordin ance and extension of fire districts had the attention of city council for the main part of the session Tuesday night in council cham bers. First reading was given to re zoning three lots owned by J. H. Cook Sr., from residential to neighborhood shopping district. It was pointed out that these lots had been used for commercial es tablishments for many years, and the initial zoning was incorrect. Council accepted the first read ing as information. An area of Main street adjacent to the railroads was also submit ted for rezoning. The proposed change is from General Business District to Central Business. First reading was given to re zoning an area in the vicinity of Newberry Junior High School from R-10 Residential to B-2A Central Business District. Also presented for rezoning was an area near Newberry High School from R-10 to R-8 Residen tial. Presented for rezoning was an area in the vicinity of Newberry County Memorial Hospital affect ing Kinard, Harper and Hunt streets. The area would be chang ed from R-10 to O&I (Office and Institutional use). This change is proposed to allow 7 doctors and oth er professional offices to be lo cated near the hospital and nurs ing home. Also included are drug stores and florist shops. Another recommendation would make is mandatory for contractors and subcontractors to place ap propriate signs at sites of con struction. City Inspector Robert Shealy told council that there had been some confusion as to who was doing work on various proj ects, and signs were needed for licensing and inspection purposes. A recommendation from the City Planning Commission w T as brought to council to expand the Newberry No. 1 Fire District to take in all business establishments in the central section of the city. Assistant Safety Director Ed Ha zel pointed out that the original lines were drawn in 1929 and that since that time the Southeastern Board of Fire Underwriters had requested on three occasions that action be taken on this item. Council gave approval to the pro- ’ posal. City Manager Riebe said that a sum of $450 had been deposted with the Clerk of Court in a right-of-way proceeding on the property of W. A. Smith Sr. Riebe said it was necessary to go across this property in order to service the Gene Griffith Develop ment wdth water and sewer lines. Council approved a contract with Owens-Illinois to install lighting around the plant grounds. The cost would be recovered over a period of years. The Utility Department re quested $10,000 from bund funds to do needed right of way trim ming before the winter months. Riebe told council this would not be enough to cover all the needed clearing, but anticipated that the danger areas would be taken care of in case icing conditions were severe this winter. All funds would go to work along the power distri bution lines. A request from the Newberry County Water Authority asking the city to furnish water at the intersection of Highways 34 and 76 was discussed. The main from city limits would be installed by the authority mainly to service the Newberry Inn to be built near the city. Other customers along the line also would be served. City Manager Riebe said a study had been made by engineers to deter mine the actual cost of providing water at this point. Engineers rec ommended that the cost be the same as any other customer out side city limts. Cost of producing water was found to be near 30 cents per thousand gallons. City council approved a licens ing arrangement with the Munici pal Association of South Carolina. Contractors who have passed the uniform examination will not have to take a local examination to work in the city. This does not af fect those operating in the city who are already licensed.

UF CAMPAIGN IS UNDERWAY The financial campaign of the United Fund of Newberry County is now in progress. Those having an active part in this cause are now calling on their feilow citiz ens and their first report on these solicitations will be made Wed nesday, October 13. The second report will come by 10:00 A.M. on Saturday, October 16. Team cap tains ae urged to make their re ports by these hours in order that a complete summary of the results on those days can be determined. The goal for 1965-66 is $40,702.- 34. This amount will provide funds for the operations of the local member agencies and will meet the percentage requests from this county for those national agencies serving Newberry county through state agencies. The request from these agencies have been carefully studied by a committee of New berry county citizens and the funds have been budgeted accord ing to the need. Team captains, working with the Division Chairmen, have com pleted their team organizations with citizens who recognize the need for this type of service and who see the advantage of one campaign for these agencies. The leaders of the United Fund have expressed enthusiasm in regard to the campaign and are confident that the goal will be reached. Emphasis has been placed on the fact that this is a county-wide undertaking. Through the team workers, each citizen of Newberry county is now being given the op portunity to share in the county’s effort to meet this responsibility to unfortunates in our community and their pledge to the United Fund will aid in the activity of each agency. The success of this movement will be a matter of pride to our county and will show others the co-operative Spirit of our citizens.
