(Sunphoto by Martin Armfield) COMMENT on Men & Things Bv J. K. BREEDIN As to the Republicans: times surely have changed. Most of us were taught to think badly of Republicans, blaming them for many things. What a change has come over the world! Never would I have thought that we would have to hope for im provement by the Republican party. So you see, Wade Hampton is nearer to the Republican par ty than to the Democratic par ty today. Ask your grandfather about that too. I am not a pol itician; what I wish above all else is to see my country re stored to sanity and sound gov ernment. Big Gift On Campus 5EP Spectator has missed a great deal in those eight weeks he has been out of circulation; and it seems from the daily re ports to him brought to his bed by five daily papers that the outstanding news of the day is a general confusion. Almost no one has a clear idea of what the National Dem ocratic party is using as an appeal for support. If we judge the party by the record of the recent 8 years it might seem that it bases its hopes on free groceries and the upsetting of the schools of the nation. We read every day of riots in almost every part of the na tion. We also read that the little American ship Pueblo which was seized by the North Koreans is still there, whether on the surface or not. What do the other nations of the world think of us? What do we ourselves think? I am a man of peace but I wonder, even I wonder, about our course which seems, to be one of utter weakness. Now as to Vietnam: there is no war over there; we have been assured of that but we must wonder how many men must die; how many billions be spent; how many planes des troyed in order for this to be a war. We do not know—does any one know what we will ever gain by victory? I do not mention again the disturbance over the Panama Canal. I am afraid whatever course we take wdll be one of weakness. Just where do we stand in S. C? Are we loyal to Wade Hampton or have we forgotten him? Did your grandfather ever speak to you about Wade Hampton? One of the serious objections to the present Democratic ad ministration is it meddling with the public schools. I repeat what I have said often, I know of no section pf the Constitu tion that permits federal med dling; and I cite the 9th and 10th amendments to the Con stitution. I do not quote those ing in j anuary 19e9f j. H . amendments, but you can read Witherspoon> Adjudication Of- them in almost any school book ficer> Columbia V A Regional on U. S. history. Office, announced today. Payments have been made quarterly in the past, but the long period between payments often caused a hardship for both the trainee and flight school operator. The new payment system was authorized by Public Law 90-631, signed by the president last month. The law, which contained several other provisions on vet erans benefits, became effective December 1, 1968, but since payments for educational as sistance are made at the end of the month, the first checks in the new program will be received in January. The system of monthly pay ments is in line with most other Stuffed animals are “in” on the nation’s campuses this year. Besides their size, what makes them big?

Many se lect her favorite animal or color. Most don’t stop with one, but prefer to build a collection. The possibilities are limitless. Anc the strategy is perfect. After all, what girl would break off with a guy in the middle of a collection? While pink elephants and purple bulls are popular, psychedelic patterns and colors are among the new things this year. Non psychedelic offerings include bulldogs and teddy bears, five- foot giraffes and five-inch baby squirrels, basset hounds, zebras, raccoons, and an eight-foot “lady boa ’’-all part of a nationwide menagerie l>eing replenished a. the rate of over 28 million a year.
