degree of their problem, school
authorities at Warrenton are
experiencing difficulties identi
cal to those elsewhere. There
are ungovernable displays of
psychological resentment among
both black students and white.
Discipline is a thing of the
past. Cooperation of parents
simply does not exist. Even the
most ambitious of children—
those who truly desire to get
an education—find themselves
frustrated by events and cir
cumstances beyond their con
trol and not of their making.
This is the tragic product of
what amounts to a federal
takeover of the schools. The fe
deral government—judges, poli
ticians and bureaucrats—creat
ed this disaster. Now they
should be commanded to step
in and help pick up the pieces.
But, no. They sit back in
their towers of specious politi
cal theory and boast of what
they have “achieved.” They
imply—but they only imply—
that they plan now to move
to the rest of the country with
such destructive meddling. The
South suspects that nothing of
the sort will ever really hap
pen; it would be dangerous
politics for the federal medd
lers to try to do the rest of

the country what has already
been done to the South.
When the politicians from
other parts Of the country de
nied freedom of choice to the
people of the South, and when
the federal judges outlawed the
people’s right to choose, they
slammed the door on any hope
of maintaining order in the
schools, let alone achieving any
real quality in education. The
people are never likely to cool
their resentment to being de
prived of one of their most
basic rights. And when children
are forced, against their will,
into unnatural ■ environments
and conditions, they are likely
to continue to explode into hos
tile, undisciplined resentments.
The men who created this
mess—the federal judges, poli
ticians and bureaucrats—have
the duty to step forward now
and straighten it out, if they
can. If they are interested in
the future of the country, they
will be willing to try. Otherwise
they stand indicted on charges
of hit and run..

Current be first
ROTC officer
Major Frederick Current will
act as the first commanding
officer of the newly created
Air Force Reserve Officers
Training Corps Unit as New
berry College.
The selection of Newberry Col
lege as the site for an Air
Force ROTC Unit was announc
ed last December by South Car
olina’s Senator Strom Thurmond
and Brigadier General Benja
min B. Cassiday, Jr., Comman
dant of the Air Force ROTC
Program. The Newberry Col
lege Unit will be activated in
September.
Major Current has served in
the Air Force since his gra
duation from Franklin and Mar
shall College in Lancaster, Penn
in 1959; after receiving his
master’s degree from Michigan
State University in 1966, he serv
ed three years in Germany. His
last assignment was with the
ROTC Unit at West Virginia
University.
Through the two-year Air
Force ROTC program at New
berry College, men or women
may earn a commission as a
second lieutenant in the United
States Air Force simultaneously
with their baccalaureate degree.
After their graduation from col
lege, the newly commissioned of
ficers will serve four years in
the Air Force, six years if they
receive additional training as
pilots or navigators.
The students must pass the
required mental and physical
examinations and complete a
six-week summer program be
tween their sophomore and ju
nior years, before they formally
begin training as a cadet in
the ROTC program.
During their junior and se
nior years, the cadets will elect
a total of twelve semester hours
of aerospace studies; the class
room work will emphasize lea
dership and management skills.
Students enrolled in the ROTC
program will receive $50 a
month in subsistance in addition
to having their uniforms and
textbooks related to the ROTC
program furnished.
In addition to Major Current,
the ROTC staff at Newberry
College will consist of one offi
cer and two enlisted men; they
are expected to arrive at New
berry College in April.
Three state-supported schools,
Clemson, The Citadel, and the
University of South Carolina,
are the only other South Caro
lina institutions which have Air
Force ROTC now.
