are violated’.”
But on the brighter side, it
is encouraging to see that stu
dents at the University of South
Carolina are repudiating actions
of the very small minority. A
group, called ‘‘USC Strike Back
Student Coalition” has been
formed on the Univeristy cam
pus. Its chairman is Richard
T. Hines, president of the sen
ior class at the University and
vice president of the USC Young
Republican Club.
The objectives of the ‘‘Strike
Back” Coalition are:
To speak for the Silent Major
ity of students who attend clas
ses and seek to obtain an edu
cation instead of constantly tak
ing to the streets in mobs to
demand, disrupt, and destroy.
To demonstrate to the people
of South Carolina and the nation
that the vast majority of college
students have faith in their gov
ernment and reject disruptive
protest and violence.
To speak the truth to our fel
low students regarding the ne
cessity of American aid and pro
tection of the smaller, weaker
nations in Southeast Asia in ord

we can solve any of our pro

—We have been called upon
in Columbia to protect lives and
property, not to restrict free

—We have been called upon
in Denmark—to protect educa

—We have been called upon

On all of these occasions, and
others, we have performed our
duty without injury or serious
incident.
We have gone out in search
of lost children, and we have
abandoned our civilian jobs to
assist the beleaguered citizens
in a large area of our state in
the wake of a disastrous ice
storm. This, too, is the National
Guard.
Let me dispel any notions of
the Guardsman as an untrained,
unrestrained and trigger-happy
dolt. He is highly trained—both
in general military training and
in the tactics of crowd control.
Our ranks are liberally sprink
led with men who have served
this country in two. . .in some

man is a member of the com
munity he is called upon to pro
tect. . .YOUR community. He
is your neighbor. He may be a
businessman, a teacher, a sales
man, a mechanic, a clerk, an
administrator. . .or a college
student.
Your National Guardsmen are
not anti-civil rights. . .they
are not anti-youth. . .they are
not anti-labor. . .they are not
anti-free speech. . .they aren’t
anti-anything. . .They ARE a

In response to President Nix
on’s decision to enter Cambodia
in an attempt to safeguard his
Vietnamization to end the war
in Southeast Asia, we have wit
nessed by means of the mass
media accounts of demonstra
tions within the nation, oppos
ing this decision.
To many young people, dis
sent is the fashionable “happen
ing” today. It is and has always
been one of this nation’s most
priceless values—used effective
ly. But, is demonstrating in the
streets meaningful dissent
against the Establishment? Is
razing business establishments
to show dissent meaningful dis
sent? Are these manifestations
of dissent valuable and effective
or are they outlets for indivi
dual frustrations, real or ima-
else. They do not seek trouble,
but neither do they shirk their
duty when trouble is fomented
by someone else.
And they don’t deserve the
kind of scorn and abuse that
some would so willingly heap
upon them.

I believe that our community
must stand with our young peo
ple who are willing to act res
ponsibly within the political pro
cess. We must not be misled to
believe that our youth are all
violent destructive radicals. Of
the 7 million college students
in this country, less than 2 per
cent can be classified as mili
tants or radicals. We must
know the truth, which is that
the majority of our students are
law-abiding, patriotic citizens,
dedicated to the improvement
of our form of government.
