Fraud From MIG
The MIG Judicial Board's decision to ask
MIG to appoint a committee charged with de
ciding whether impeachment proceedings a
gainst MIG Vice-President Phil Edgerton
should be heard by MIG or all men students
is most unfair.
In fact it appears to be an attempt by the
MIG Judicial Board to deny Edgerton his
right to a fair trial on charges that he
allegedly warned the coeducational occu
pants of a men's dormitory suite parlor con
cerning the impending arrival of the head
resident.
Instead of adhering to the wording of
the MIG Constitution which states
that verdicts in impeachment proceedings of
MIG officers are to be decided by all men
students, the Judicial Board members are
apparently attempting to circumvent the MIG
Constitution.
Although this attempt is a clear-cut breach
of judicial trust, it comes as no surprise.
*** *** *#* *#* ***
Despite all publicity to the contrary, the'
MIG Judicial Board is basically a closed
corporation. Once members are elected, they
are not expected to consider the wishes of
their constituency in determining general Ju
dicial Board policy.
Letter to the Editor
End Treason, Supp
Dear Editor:
To The Nation
I am an American, and proud
to say so; Proud of my Country
and her heritage.
I do not feel that it should be
necessary for one American to
stand before other Americans
and attempt to persuade them to
be aware of and experience this
glow of National pride. However,
what should be, and what is may
be the case to a significant
degree. I amreferring to the dis
grace that has been brought,
by recent scandals, to positions
of high esteem in our political
and military structure. These
scandals were characterized by
dishonesty and greed; by trai
torous abuse of our principal of
freedom of speech and expres
sion. I define treason as: "The
giving of aid or comfort (whether
physical or mental) to an enemy
of our country." Consider the
Traditionlly, Judicial Board members have
meekly accepted their roles as incommuni
cado enforcers without challenge or audible
complaint. With Edgerton's election, a change
in these policies has been witnessed.
For the first time the students have a
spokesman on the Judicial Board who is'
unafraid of responsibly challenging the
archaic and unflexible methods used in the
handling of Judicial Board cases. Unlike most
other Judicial Board members who have
consistently relied on rules and penalties
sanctioned by non-students, Edgerton con
scientiously attempts to responsibly transmit
the wishes of his fellow students in
the administration of justice.
In addition, Edgerton maintains that the
students are entitled to know the verdicts
and penalties which the Judicial Board hands
out. This opinion is in complete conflict
with those of other Judicial Board members
who prefer the protection of secret pro
ceedings to hide their mysterious verdicts
and penalties.
With such a conflict between responsi
bility and mediocrity, it is not surprising
that the MIG Judicial Board is attempting
to insure Edgerton's ousting by resorting to
such deceitful tactics as the organization of
a phony committee to reinterpret the MIG
Constitution.
recent incident in Mississippi
where a young man displayed the
Viet Cong flag on Veterans Day.
This is treason in that an enemy
of our country received direct
comfort through this gesture of
support to his cause. If there is
any question of the Communists
in Vietnam being an enemy of
our country, I, an American,
could rip off my clothing and
expose the scars resulting from
three rounds of automatic fire
that I received while serving as
a Marine in Vietnam.
I do not think, however, this
should be necessary, as any indi
vidual who is averagely well in
formed on current affairs, and
who possesses a rudimentary
capacity for reason, will under
stand that the NVA and VC are
THE GUILFORDIAN
the enemy of any true American,
even though this individual has
not met the enemy face to face.
Faithfulness to one's country.
What has happened to simple,
sincere respect for America,
and for the principals of un
selfish honesty and unity upon
which she was founded? I sub
mit that this quality is abundant
in many, but far too lacking in
others.
I submit that our country could
use a little "Aid and comfort"
through direct support by all
Americans of her basic prin
ciples, of her cause, and by
the recognition of her enemies
for what they are.
To the silent majority I sub
mit this, and to it I ask, "What
have you to say?"

Love
To fall in love is such an art
For a girl works hard to win your
heart.
And as you respond to her loving
advances
The immediate beauty of this
wonderful trance
Your loss of reality suddenly
enhances
Which has placed your life in
the grips of chance.
When love takes hold, one soon
discovers
The freedom of heart as he steps
from the covers
Of the everyday hub-bub, the rat
race, the grind
Which all fade away, because love
is blind.
Your feelings are high-your out
look is bright
Your emotions are centered, and
so is your life
Your only goal is to do things
right
To have her always near you, as
your wife.
But then one day, when your back
is turned
The love disappears, which
between you has burned
And nothing is left but smoulder
ing ashes
In a heart which once burned with
fiery passions.
Now he returns to the world of
today
Deciding for him there's no other
way
Than to live in the rat race,
the hub-bub, the grind
Which an even better man would
find hard to decline
For a world of flowers is impos
sible to find.

Ode To A
Biafran Baby
j
By Minette
A leaf alone,
Falling,
From £ fine encased bough.
The moon alone,
On a summers night,
Against the ebony sky.
A silhouette,
In a doorway,
A woman on Sunday morn.
A scream of life and
Silent death.
Another to starve is born.
Ride on skeletal horses,
You quartet of the texts.
Laughing at malnourished
bellies,
Their bodies will be next.
Two million fell dead
in the streets,
How many more will die?
One lonely mind to watch it all,
To feel the children cry.
To drag unwanted bodies onto
The funeral pyre.
How long must you cry
for nourishment
Not in your mother's breast?
How long did you cry
from compassion
And aid
From all the rest?
You, little one, and more.
Alone with others on a
starving street
In the war
Against
All war.
