Dear Editor:
This letter is to announce
and somewhat explain my
resignation from the presiden
cy of WSAP Radio. During my
three and one-half years here I
have served as Treasurer,
Vice Pres., and lastly as Pre
sident of the radio station.
WSAP has been a strong and
active organization on cam
pus for many years and in
volves the active participa
tion of more students every
week than any other campus
groip as l ean see.
As this year progressed, it
became evident to me that
certain drastic measures
should be taken in regard to
the station. Several weeks ago
I proposed these actions to the
executive board of llie station
and requested their approval.
When the proposals were
rejected I saw that to be true
to myself and the station I
should step out of their way,
allowing them to move in
directions which they saw fit.
I am sorry that this year
brought things to this point,
but WSAP is now under new
leadership with some new,
strong ideas for organization
and I have by no means cut
myself off from SAP.

I was very excited to have
the opportunity to hear and
see Joe & Penny Aronson on
Monday, Nov. 11, 1974 when I
was a visitor at St. Andrews,
as I had missed their per
formance in Gastonia.
My excitement, however,
soon turned to another
emotion: anger (mixed with
disappointment). I found the
singing and playing pleasant
and informative; what got me
angry was, when I realized
that you and I were given a
one sided view of Jewish

Letters to the Editor
history. We got a political
speech rather than in
formation about Jews.
If we take Mi'. Aronson’s
editorializing for history, we
will be missing the boat. I
(and I imagine you) were
given an impression that no
one had ever lifted a finger to
help the Jews until it was too
late. I do know for a fact, that
this is not true. I was living on
the coast of Denmark during
the second World War and
saw the non-Jews help their
fellow human beings escape
from the Nazis. TTiis makes
me wonder how many other
instances of help to the Jews,
there have been, that Mr.
Aronson chose to ignore.
What disappointed me was
his lack of calm pride,
something I have always been
so impressed by in the many
Jews I have known over the
years.
My thanks to you for
allowing me to get tnis oft my
chest, and my apology to the
two groi^)s on campus who
arranged to have the Aron
sons come.

Dick Gregory, who spoke
here recently, is an out
standing speaker, comedian
and political activist. His two
hour speech, which filled
Avinger Auditorium to
capacity, invoked many
responses. The Lance asked
random individuals for com-
ment.
“I was fascinated by
Gregory as a speaker. He had
perfect control of those who
came to hear him-carefully
setting them up with his
comical introduction and then
leveling them with the
message of his talk. Several
times I felt as if we were m a
revival of sorts, as ne worked
and worked toward his final
call to commitment. Although
some of what he said was very
true, I feel that it is important
that we not allow ourselves to
be caught i«) in the tide. How
can he rationalize, for exam
ple, the fear he was trying to
instill in us, while at the same
time damning the goveniment
and the ridi for doing the
same thing.. I found him full
of contradictions.”
Karen Hardison, Junior
“He was a good speaker. He
was open and straight
forward. What he said could
be dangerous to him, but the
information he gave made the
audience think.”
Brenda Howard, Sophomore
“He was a very funny
man...I enjoyed him even
when he really got into the
conspiracy jazz-you know, all
that stuff about the Eastern
and Western establishments
battling for control of the
country - as if someone ac
tually organized this mad
ness!”
Tony Ridings, Sophomore
“He’s a prominent, honest
speaker. One of the few open i
speakers of today when it I
comes to mtidzing the U.S I
He’s the type person who’ll teli I
you what he knows if he thinks I
that it’s important. I have
respect for that type person. 1
He’s not saying ‘believe J
everything I say.” He gives [
facts. Maybe America needs I
that kind of shock.”
Dimitra Grant, Freshman
“I thought he was a fan.
tastic speaker. He captivated
his audience by using both
jokes and scare tactics and
making us realize just how our
government was being run by ’
crooked officials. I thought
that he was one of the best
speakers I’ve ever heard.”
Trudy Levenson, Freshman
