THE WORM TURNS
In his “Viewpoint” on WRAL
TV on January 4, Jesse Helms
thankfully notes that the hon
eymoon between the news me
dia and Martin Luther King is
apparently over.
As you read Mr. Helms’
words about King, you might
bear in mind that only a few
weeks ago the SOUTHERN
Presbyterians voted to send
King money to aid in h:s
"work”. I’m sure other denom
inations have done the same.
Do you like the idea of YOUR
money going to the kind of
man pictured below?
By Jesse Helms
The same news media which
spent more than a dozen shame
ful years in puffing Martin
Luther King into a position of
pompous prominence are now
hopefully undertaking to con
ceal their mistakes by permit
ting the man to drift quietly
into obscurity. The republic
seldom hears from Dr. King
these days no small blesPng
when one recalls the months
and years on end when t was
impossible to nick up a news
paper, or tune in a newscast,
without (onfrontmg hi-' face
and hi- fuming fanaticism
This was the man whom tb-.-
press called “moderate and
"non-violent”. ’Phis is tin* man
whom Northern editors insisted
all the rest of us must listen
to, and follow And what of
thoso who heard, n Martin
Luther King’s exhortation.-,
tlio crackle of anaichy and the
threat of violence” Well, no
body but a Ingot could see Dr,
King as anything short of a
saint—-the {tress told us, w.'h
nauseous telewisum network
newsmen joining the chorus.
But, HW7 was the year that
most of the country -aw Mar
tin Luther King, finally, for
what he is -a sham, an ag:ta

in Spain
Seven students have enrolled
thus far for New’berry College's
19G8 summer program in Spain.
The group will leave Newberry

and four weeks in Madrid, plus
sightseeing in Spain, elsewhere
on the continent, and in the
British Isles.
Early registrants are senior
Marian Salter, Chappells; jun
iors Charlotte Kibler, Savan
nah, Ga.; and Gayle Kratz,
sophomores Mickey Malin, N.
Charleston, and Marie Knaul,
Melbourne, Fla., and first year
students Jacqueline Florence,
Lakeland, Fla., and Constance
Lorenz, Erie, Penn.
Dr. A. P. Mature, head of
the department of modern lan
guages, and Mrs. Mature wdll
accompany the group. Students
will live in tht 1 Residencia In-
ternavcional in Madrin, com
bining their Spanish language
studies with tours to historical
and artistic points of interest.
Classwork will occupy three
hour's daily, five days a week.
Work will consist of study in
elementary, intermediate or
advanced composition and con
versation. The program offers
three hours of academic credit.
Fnroute to New York by
station wagon t,he Newberry
contingent will spend a day at
Williamsburg, Va. After some
free time in Manhattan, the
students will jet to Paris July
2f> and spend two days there
before going to Madrid by rail.
Heading homeward in Aug
ust, the tourists will sightsee

Scotland. Once hack in the
States, they will visit Wash
ington, I). C. before returning
to Newberry.
Registration in the summer
program is still open, Dr. Ma
ture said, and applications are
invited from Newberry students
and those of other schools as
well. High school students who
intend to enter a college or uni
versity next fall also may en
roll.
Cost of the program is $79o,
ineludmg tuition, round tr-ip
transportation, housing and
meals, and transportation on
the continent.
Correction
In this issue is published a
news article concerning new
postal regulations, principally
concerning a 15c fee to he
charged for address correction
information. The Sun has been
advised by Assistant Postmas
ter James Counts that Post
Office Department has lowered
this fee to 10c. In another par-
agraph of the article, it is
stated that “when an address
correction is requested on third
class mail weighing upto si*
ounces . . . ” The latter has
been changed to four ounces.
Because this item had already
gone through our “process” be
fore the changes were received,
readers are asked, in reviewing
the article, to substitute “10c”
in lieu of 15c, and four ounces
in lieu of six ounces where
those figures appear.
Mr. and Mrs. Tommy Lang
ford have moved to 1322 Pearl
street to make their home.
