The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, Sept. 24, 1970—PAGE 7 BY THE WAY . . . (Continued from Pago 1) or a political endorsement. The young people were telling the President something—something that should have been apparent all along, not only to Mr. Nixon but to all Americans. Which was that young Ame ricans—the vast majority of them—want their country to re-, sume and preserve its funda mentals of decency, honor and responsibility. They cheered not so much Nixon the man as Nixon the symbol, the elected leader. They stood in repeated tribute to what he was saying when he condemned violence, lawlessness, cowardice and crudeness. Each standing ova tion was a mandate for the President, and all others in government, to start thinking again of those who wish to build a better America, and to stop trembling at the threats of a minority determined to tear the country apart. The shoe has been on the wrong foot for far too long al ready. Minorities which seek to destroy, not build, have been allowed to plunder the will, the very purpose, of the republic. Militants have not only invaded, but destroyed, the rights of others while the leadership of the country compromised and vascillated. Mr. Nixon himself, sad to say, has not always stood firm, as he pledged he would in 1968. But he received a magnifi cent reminder at Kansas State University that the country is ready to stand firm, that it supports law and order, decent behavior and personal respon sibility. Mr. Nixon spoke of educa tion at Kansas State, and he spoke wisely. He observed that only the administrators and fa culty members and responsible student leaders can save edu cation—t hat the government cannot. He could have said, and should have, that the govern ment—the federal government which Mr. Nixon heads—i s largely responsible for much of the upheaval in education to day. If Mr. Nixon will continue to heed the mood of the country— if he will analyze the ovations of support that thundered in his ears in Kansas—he will under stand that the people are fed up with a lot of things, among them federal meddling in edu cation. The President can serve his country well by exercising his authority and leadership in making certain that freedom of choice is resurrected from the graveyard of federal tyranny. He cannot—and should not— control the federal judges, but he can make clear his position— the one that he took as a can didate for President in 1968— that forced busing of school children is unwise and destruc tive. We suspect that the Presi dent would again be astonished at the clamor of support that would come to him from all sections of the land. It is a paradox. Mostly what the country needs now is leader ship willing to stand up for what is logical, wise and fair. Yet, for more than a decade, poli ticians have been shoving Ame rica down the road to self-de struction. Destructive militants have been courted and glori fied, while citizens dedicated to building America have been ignored. Loafers have been pampered while the working man has been taxed to sup port them. Gallant young men have gone off to fight a war that their country would not let them win in order to ap pease half-baked revolutionaries parading in the streets at home. The soul of America can yet be preserved—as was eloquently demonstrated before Richard Nixon’s eyes at Kansas State University. The President ac knowledged there that he was hearing from the majority. Let us hope that he keeps in mind the message the majority was trying to convey to him. Computers for teaching at college The technical world of com puters and data processing and how the computer can be used effectively in college teaching will be explained to members of the Newberry College faculty this fall by Dr. Edward D. Huth- nance, associate professor of mathematics at the College. Newberry College purchased a desk-top digital computer this summer for use in mathema tics classes. The small compu ter is connected to a Teletype machine for its paper tape in put. “Although I plan to use the computer in my freshman math ematics classes and in a course on Digital Computer Program ming,’’ Dr. Huthnance said, “I wanted all of the faculty mem bers to learn how they can bring the computer into their own classrooms as a teaching aid.” Dr. Huthnance feels that the computer can be used effec tively in most subject-matter fields but in such areas as ac counting and business, English and music it can be a great benefit as a teaching machine. By the end of the series of evening sessions that Dr. Huth nance is using to explain the computer and its applications, he hopes that all of the faculty members will be ready for the electronic age. The computer is strictly a teaching aid and is not being used by the College in its own business operations; for this purpose the College rents com puter time from the Furman University Computer Center.

You’ve changed. W^vechanged. Chevrolet r .•.SSV.*.V.W.*.>X V ...., W .% Worth seeing. Worth owning. Worth waiting for. Vegii. Not just another little car, but one little car that does everything well. You get more room, more weight and more power than most little cars give you, yet the gas mileage is right in the same neighborhood with the best of them. Vegas come dressed up, too, not stripped to the bone so you have to add a lot to make them liveable. Drive one. You’ll see. Caprice. There’s a double layer of steel in the roof, a steel guard beam in each door, power disc brakes up front, a new power ventilation system inside, a wheelbase two and one-half inches longer.. You get the looks and comfort of a six- or seven-thousand-dollar car, but at Chevrolet prices. And that’s the kind of change during these tight-money times that all of us can appreciate. A vanishing tailgate. A big change in our big wagon. The window goes up into the roof, the Glide- Away tailgate vanishes beneath the floor. Out of sight. Out of your way for easy loading even in a closed garage or when you have a trailer hooked on. See what we mean by putting you first? September 29 at your Chevrolet dealer’s.
