suspected subversives axid put them in de

Concern over the bill has risen since
the Nixon administi'ation too^ office, es
pecially after Assistant Attorney General
Richard Kleindienst was quoted in ATLAN
TIC MONTHLY Magazine as favoring the use
of the camps for some radicals« (He later
denied having made the statement)#
The Nixon Administration recommended,
and the Senate agreed, that the provis
ions establishing the detention camps
should be repealed. However, HISC chair
man Richard Ichord (D.-M*,), who feels
radicals, especially the Black Panther
Party, pose an imminent danger to the
United States, first bottled up the bill,
and then finally agreed to report out the
new amendment only after considerable
pressure from other committee members*
The non-dlscriminatioa clause was
j.ntended to assuage the fears of both
Blac]:s and Japanese-Americans(who were
rounded up during World War II). However,
it would still allow the President to im
prison a group of radicals, as long as
ha did not discriminate according to race,
color, or ancestr7/'.
There will be an attempt to amend the
hill to bar all concentration camps when
the bill reaches the floor ^f the House.
If that fails, attempts will be made to
find a compromise bet\jeen the Senate and
house versions in conference committees.
A PLEaSaNT flash on 11 OCTOBER
11 October marked the birth of the an
nual Children's Dog Show in Asheville.
The show was sponsored by the Xi Alpha
F.ta chapter of Beta Sigma Phi for the
benefit of the Irene Wortham Day Care
Center,
There was an age liuilt- r-
of up to Iliuetrri .'/t.ta-o, unfortunately.
Some Claeses being judged were; "Dog
With Lengest Ears," (won by a very small
bey with a very large Bassett), "Dog
Looking Most Like Owner," etc., etc. The
locally famous Farmer Russ served as mas
ter of ceremonies.
Everything here was typical. Typical
people, typical dogs, a typical day. But
ve need more typical days! In the midst
of laughter and barking was an unequivocal
feeling of Americanism—even, perhaps, of
politician. There were no policemen, and
no pickets. I didn’t even see an eighteen
year-old trying to vote!
It was a good time to get yourself ac
quainted with some kids -and dogsj it was
a 3azy day at the end of summer; it was a
day to go out of your way to be just
plain "nice,"

SFA FOBUM
The first Student-Faculty-Admlnistra-
tion Forum of the year was held this past
Wednesday, 14 October, The object of the
meeting was to gather ideas from the par
ticipants for a hypothetical non-denomi-
national Christian college, "Utopia Uni
versity," Five areas were covered, among
them being the academic and non-academic
programs.
After several ideas were presented,
the meeting took another direction. Mac
Holt began the first round of a very in
teresting debate by asking President Davis
about the room decoration rule and hov: it
came into being. Dr. Davis replied that
it was an interpretation of a rule that
was already in the College handbook on^
page thirty-six. Several people the com
mented on the validity of the rule. The
president stated that the college had the
right to make any rule that it deemed ne
cessary. Peter Stack asked if there was
any room for compromise between the stu
dents and the Administrative Council
certain miles. President Davis stated
that in some cases compromise might be in
order, but that the policies coming dowai
form the trustees could not be compromised.
Dr, Davis said that the trustees were
going to "a group of conservative people"
in an attempt to raise tpbOCjOCC to in
sure the continued operation of the Gol-

mold to attract and hold donations from
these and other persons. The president
felt that the movement among some student
leaders to bring beer on campus could
jeopardize his fund-mising efforts. He
asked i-estraint from student leaders, as
well as from the student body as a whole,
in their demands for liberalizing the
'college.
President Davis stated that at least
Accelerating-Ashevilleism. There was mu- pCC students wex'e not asked to return for
