Santee-Cooper is responsible
for thousands of tourists
every year who never even
come near our two lakes
About a half million fishermen spend
$4 million every year catching a million
fish in Santee-Cooper's two lakes.
But twice that number of tourists spend ^
three times that much money in South
Carolina because of Santee-Cooper.
And they never even come near the lakes.
Never even see the lakes.
And a lot of them have never even heard
about the lakes.
But some know.
They are the ones who *'study up” on things.
They know Santee-Cooper supplies low-cost,
dependable electrical power for Horry
and Georgetown counties.
They know that Santee-Cooper electrical
power is one of the major reasons the Grand
Strand area has developed into one of
the East Coast's top tourist attractions.
We wish everyone were as smart as some
tourists who "study up” on things. aA

NSA: The WRONG VEHICLE
Another secret is out: The
CIA has been subsidizing the
National Student Association
for the past 15 years. Operat
ing through foundations—some
real, others mere letterhead
fronts—the CIA has provided
as much as eighty per cent
of NSA’s budget. The subsidy
has averaged close to $200,000
per year.
The CIA’s stated purpose in
funding NSA meets with no
criticism from this writer.
That purpose was to see that
certain international youth
conferences were attended by
young Americans who could
stand up for their country—in
the face of Communist youths
who were vocally defending and
promoting THEIR systems.
At first glance, the facts
nd the aim are hardly sensa
tional. Everyone knows that
the CIA does not publicize its
operations. The very nature of
its activities demands that
they be pursued in a clandes
tine manner. The thing that
makes this current disclosure
appalling is not the camou
flage. Rather, it is the char
acter of the subsidized organi
zation itself—the NSA.
The National Student Asso
ciation, founded in 1947, is
one of the most ultra-Liberal
groups in the U. S. Academic
world. It does not represent
the students of America. Chap
ters exist on barely 300 cam
puses. Many students on those
campuses have no choice but
to be members of NSA: when
they arrive to begin their
freshman year they discover
that they ARE members, and
their dues are paid out of their
student activitys fee. In many
cases, these students vote to
expel NSA from their college
and in the past few years such
expulsions have been numer
ous.
NSA has supported Fidel
Castro, the Admission of Com
munist China to the United
Nations, and the rioting stu
dents at Berkeley.. The organ
ization has condemned the
House Committee on Un-Am
erican Activities, blasted the
Administration for saving the
Dominican Republic from a
On Newberry

Communist takeover, and de
manded that we immediately
cease air strikes in Viet Nam.
NSA favors the inclusion of
the National Libertion Front
in a South Viet Nam coalition
government. In short, NSA has
opposed nearly every anti-
Communist foreign policy car
ried out by the U. S. Govern
ment.
Since the CIA is an intellig
ence organization, one must
suppose that its directors knew
about all this left-wing opin
ion when they first contacted
NSA.If American Ambassadors
were needed to counteract
Communism at youth confer
ences, why did the CIA choose
one of the least anti-Commun-
ist youth organizations in the
country? If spokesmen for U.
S. policy were desired, one can
think of no worse place to
find them than in the leader
ship ranks of the National
Student Association.
Must we conclude that the
CIA thought our country
might gain something by send
ing delegations of anti-Ameri
cans abroad? Perhaps we must
—until we hear otherwise.
Our ears are open.
Then you could thank Santee-Cooper for all
that sun-fun you have on the Grand Strand.
And if you were really smart, you could
blame us for that sun-bum, too.

That's all right. We don't expect
to win 'em all. Just most of 'em.
