A Lesson On Parties
To the Editor
The St. Andrews
Republican Cmimitee ad said
one thing with which I agree,
“Get Involved. There’s Too
Much at Stake Not To.”
Beyond that I want to take ex-
ce^ion to the endorsement of
Mr. Flaherty because of an
experience St. Andrews had
with him last year that puts
his real priorities in focus.
Governor Holshouser
declared November 14, 1975
as Rehabilitation Ap
preciation Day in North
Carolina with toe statewide
celebration to occur at St. An
drews surrounding the
dedication of the Jack Burris
Rehabilitation Center. Mr.
Flaherty, as Secretary of
Human Resources, which in
cludes the Division of
Vocational Rehabilitation,
was asked to serve as Co-
Chairman of this event,
because it was the one day in
North Carolina that focused
attention on the needs of the
handicapped citizens of our
state. Both common courtesy
and good politics dictated the
invitation to him to serve as

paign and Lin Thompson, chairman of the St. Andrews Re.
publican Committee, now make their last big pitch for votes
before Tuesday’s election.
Co-Chairman and have a
[M'ominent place on the plat
form. These were his people,
this was his program; he
could hardly !» excluded. But
he managed to exclude him
self!
Secretary Flaherty agreed
to serve on the date set. The
time was even changed later
to accommodate a conflict in
scheduling for him and the
Governor. Then without an of
ficial word of regret, or a
delegate to represent him.
Rehabilitation Appreciation
Day proceeded without Mr.
Fl^erty because he had to
man a hospitality room at the
Republican State Convention
in his quest for the
Republican nomination for
governor.
It should be noted further
that Lt. Gov. Hunt and
Speaker James C. Green, also
Co-Chairmen for that event
were both present and had
prominent parts on the
program. Just one more little
lesson in the difference bet
ween Republicans and
Democrats.

To The Editor:
What happened to the day
time security of the campus?
Akeady three batteries have
been stolen from cars in the
last two weeks.
Why was the day time
security of the campus cur
tailed?
Richard Tracy
Detective
To The Editor:
Today, October 26, our car
battery was stolen. This is the
third battery to be stolen in a
week from the St. Andrews
parking lots. Althou^ we can
only be sure that the battery
was stolen between 10 p. m.
last night and this mornii^,
one of the other two batteries
belonged to one of the maids,
who only had her car here
from 6 a. m. to 9 p. m.
Where was our daytime
security? There wasn’t any.
St Andrews no longer has a
daytime security officer on
campus.
If the college cannot
provide adequate security for
the staff and students of this
college, then they are not
living up to their respai-
sibilities.
How much more theft and
vandalism will have to go on
before something is done?

To The Editor:
I would like to take this q)-
portunity to thank the
following people that helped
make the “Wheel-a-Oion” a
great success. My friend
Laura Drumheller (who is in
the hospital with bronchial
trouble) helped coordinate the
whole affair, Knight Cham
berlain for driving the ser
vice van and picking ip the
checkers, Nancy Urie,
Beverly Mercer, Gertrude
Beal, linda Montgomery and
all others who helped out on
the road. Mr. Jack Reville
for patrolling the route for the
entire period. The Scotland
County Sheriff’s department
furnished a patrol car and
deputy to make things run
well. Of course thanks to all
the checkers who gave their
time, and to all entrants of
the “Wheel-a-thon” who made
it worth while. Last, but not
least thanks to all the people
that donated money for this
cause.

Performance^
Not Promises
Take a look at the record.
President Ford’s ad
ministration has reduced the
inflation rate from 12.2 per
cent to 4.9 percent in two
years.
Three and a half million
more people have jobs now
than then.
Housing starts for the last
quarter were the highest in 31
months.
Real per capita disposable
income has increased five
percent. The Gross, National
Product has increased 10 per
cent.
Net farm income has never
been higher.
He supports the ERA, and
he’s done more than just talk
about what needs to be done
for women in America. He’s
appointed more women to
high government posts ttian
any other President. He’s had
Treasury Secretary Simon
sutenit to the Congress a list of
tax {ffovisions of a sexist
nature with the request that
they be modified or excised.
He has ^ught to see the
enactment of a com
prehensive energy policy bill,
one to encourage the use of
coal and the development of
solar energy, and to
deregulate natural gas and oil
in order to let the market
create incentives for new fuel
source search and to brir^
about voluntary conservation
of energy. Congress the same
Congress which has been
unable to come up with
anything of its own in spite of
acres of rhetoric on the matter
-threw it out on the grounds it
was too extravagant. When
younwant to look for someone
to blame the lack of an energy
policy on, don’t take it to Jerry
Fwd.
He has taken
significant actioi to increase
Americans’ right to privacy.
He has initiated steps to
reduce government
overregulatirai, to create a
national health system that
will work, and to increase the
employment opportunities of
all by attrading business
back to the cities where jobs
are needed most.
This much and more Gerald
Fffl-d has done in his two
years. He deserves a full four.
Pehaps the best reason to
vote for Ford, though, is Jim
my Carter.
TIk man is a mass of con
tradictions.
He claims to be independent
of Washington, yet key ad
visors are old Kennedy and
Johnson men: the folks who
brought you the Vietnam and
the Great Society.
He attacked Jerry Brown in
the Maryland primary for
being a tool of bosses, yet he
regularly courts the favor of
Mayor Daley and George
Meany.

The Case For
The Farmer
No one would deny the
honesty of Ford the President
(unless you ponder too long
the question of Nix®’s par.
don) or Ford the candidate
He is a man who has been
straight-forward in the issues
but only iii a defensive way,
This country needs innovation
not the inexpugnable positjoj
implied in a veto average oi
two bills a month. The effect
on this countiy’s problems of
successive vetoes (con
tinuously blamed on a
Democratic Cmgress rafter
than on leadership that
merely responds and does not
initiate) is precisely no effect
at all. The alternative is Jim.
my Carter - a man born and
bred in a Democratic heritage
that produce FDR, JFK, and
Adlai Stevenson yet
mistrusted for his
stereotypical Southemess and
vagueness on the issues.
The paradox in the issues of
this campaign is how do you
initiate new attacks on unem
ployment, the problems in the
cities, energy, education,
health, etc. without violating
a pledge to trim spending and
crub inflation? A tricky
business, indeed, but the an
swer does not lie in support of
the status quo.
Both Ford and Carter
promise the 4-year goals of an
inflation rate of 4% or lower
and an unemployment rate of
about 4 1/2%. Both men also
promise a balanced budget,
Ford by 1978 and Carter by
1980. Along tiie way, however.
Carter is willing to risk a tem
porarily higher inflation rate
in order to create more jobs.
He now supports a more con
servative version of the Hum-
phrey-Hawkins bill (aimed at
lowering the unemployment
rate to 3% by creating jobs in
both the public and private
sectors of Oie economy). He
will meet government
wastefuhiess with zero-base
budgeting (all non-income
support programs will «
required to justify contm“ed
existence and level of
ding), long-term plann«
budgets, and optimal agency
reduction.
While Ford supports
slight revision of to »
system. Carter is callmg J
