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.

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.
