THE DIFFERENCE
Out in Utah, at Brigham
Young University, there have
been no student riots and de
monstrations. The reason 0 The
president of the University in
formed the students that they
were coming there by choice;
that they were not forced to
come and if they could not abide
by the rules of the University,
their stay on campus would be
short-lived. Six militant students
demanded an audience with the
university president He prompt
ly refused to see them There
have been no incidents at Brig
ham Young.
At many other big name col
leges throughout the country,
the militants have wreaked hav

there will be a commencement

decide that commencements are
a CIA plot, and then of course,
the entire faculty, administra

vard, with courage that has
made them a legend, will re
place its commencement by
some sort of ceremony more ac
ceptable-something they know
the boys will approve of—say,
a book-burning or a dean-killing.
But the fact that you can
have a commencement here
without getting down on y o u r

of years ago when Secretary of
Defense McNamara was invited
to speak at Harvard Now. it
is true that McNamara was a
member of a despised minontv

The text of Hazel's letter to
Turbeville:
"Dear Coach: I would like
to thank you and everyone for
making this trip possible. I have
never enjoyed anything as much
as this trip has offered. We
have played six games in the
Philippines and were 4-2. I
pitched two innings of one game
and got the win We have so
many pitchers that everybody
worked that day.
”1 have been playing right
field and hitting fourth in the
lineup. I hit a home run and
got my name put up alongside
Babe Ruth's It was a big thr 11-
probably the biggest.
"I have become stronger in
my belief in the Lord because
of the trip We speak to three
or four thousand people at our
games. Some of these people
have never heard of Jesus
Christ but they want to and that
makes me feel great.
"I really am thankful for liv
ing in the United States. You
should see some of the places
these people stay; no windows,
no doors, no running water or
hardly anything. This trip has
all the education packed into
one glance of the people’s sit
uation here.
“Once again, thanks for the
chance. I’ll go every game next
year See all of you in August.
Sincerely, Roger”
