The Collegiate:
Our Obligation
The age which acclaimed the Declaration of In
dependence and added a Bill of Rights to the Federal
Constitution considered freedom of expression one of the
great natural nahts which governments were instituted
to protect. It believed that ±:s sacred and inalienable
right OHild not be justly impaired by any government
even with the consent o: the majonty Today, many
■‘truths ' which appeared to Jefferson ■’self-evident "
seem to have less influence on the “opinions of
mankind.” but the need for freedom of expression even
at the cc41ege level remains as crucial today as it did in
the time of CHir founding :a±ers
Mct>t .\mencar.s .v agree that freedom of speech
and of the press is essential to self-government. Many,
however, may not adequately compreherid why freedom
ot discussion is fundamental to our democratic way of
iue. or why we shvsild allow the propogauon of doctrines
and beliefs which we regard as false, or even loathsome.
The Feb 3 issue c* The Collegiate contained several
articles which angered and disturbed many readers.
\ arious members of o-ur college community have at
tacked thos<? stucents who wrote controversial articles
an<i myseif for aliow-ing them to "t:^ pnntec I will not
apologize for that issue bevause I felt then as I do now.
±at much of what was said was trje Besides. I feel it
was the pren.'tative of thctse student? to state their
personal vie%v"s c^n^ath their bylines
The Coiieg’late is ocr stuoent ne*^Coper. it retlects the
\“ie\v^ ot those students who voiuntaniy give of their
time to write ±e articles o-octamec in each issue. In our
news stories, we stnve to tv tactual anc in ocr personal
columns a-nc ecitor.als we present c<ily ocr personal

The Young .Americans Concert.
Thursday. February 3. the
Young .Americans appeared in
Wilson Gym. I attended the first
half of the performance and was
verv pleased with it. I must
admit however I went to the gym
rather pessimistically.
The group was most in-
vogirating throughout the first
half. They combined both song
and dance into an excellent
repertoire. The music, played
live, some was on tape, was
performed excellently by
youngsters back stage. The
music styles varied, ranging
from opera to ragtime.
For the most part the songs
were classic oldies done in a
contemporary manner. There
were a few of today s songs.
Some of the songs done were.
Red Roses. Jean. Eli s Coming.
Bill Bailey. Five Foot-Two. Old
Man River, and Jesus Christ
,'^upersiar, I think \ou can see
there was a large cross section
of styles requiring a multi
talented performing group
In conclusion I'd like to say it
was a most commendable
performance.
Concert for Bangladesh—
George Harrison and Ravi
Shankar
Ever since the new nation of
Bangladesh won its in
dependence from West Pakistan
It has had a struggle to survive.
The problem of refugees, who
are an economic strain, may
cause a disastrous situation.
.Many may feel that the
problem is there, and not here so
we can do nothing to help them
m their plight for freedom.
There was two persons who felt
•jiey could do something for
±ese peopel- Ravi Shankar, the
sitar great, and George
Hairison, who needs no in
troduction, got together to
iscuss the problem. The result
their efforts was the Concert
For Bangladesh.
This concert was unique in
nia.-.y ways. It was the first all
,xi: effort to raise funds for a
cjase, by having a rock concert.
For :his reason one may wonder
■•»r,a; type of success the two
—usicians might have in
acquiring performers. ,As it
rumed out they were \ery
ioccessful. -Aside from raising
over S'’4*.\iXiO from the gate they
also recorded the music for an
ibu.T. This album would be sold
a; cc«s:s with the proceeds going
Bangladesh.
There were many of today s
nxi musicians at the
cnccen Such greats as Leon
R^issell. BUly Preston. Ringo
Starr, ar.d Klaus Voorman. with
Harr.soc and Shankar proved
ar, exciting evening of music.
The real icmg on the cake came
Bob Dylan appeared.
The album is now available in
.irr,::ed numbers, andis an e.\-

By BOB JOH.NSO.N
Hello there friends. Romans,
fellow students, and winos. it
seems as if the .New Wine was
not spilled in the last issue of the
Collegiate, but rather dumped in
a most helter-skelter manner.
The author did not mean to cast
the Wilson Fire Dept, in the role
of a bumbling bunch of idiots,
but some how that is the way the
things appeared in print. My
intent was to draw out the point
that there is some humor in even
the most unpleasant situations
and say that the Wilson Fire
Dept, did a fantastic job in that
there were no injuries in the fire
and that they did a bang up job in
extinguishing the fire.
I won't go into the mess I
made in try ing to point out the
humor in the
situation be
cause we
might just get
into further
d i f f iculties,
which is the
last thing
the slightly
beleagured Col
legiate needs
right now. I've
been doing
some research
that the Wilson Fire Dept, has
JOHNSON
and discovered
one of the finest records of anv
fire fighting agency in the state
and it was not meant to sound
like The New Wine was putting
down some fine gentlement who
are doing such an admirable job
... gentlemen, you n:iay consider
Bob Johnson is eating some
tough crow this week.
There seems to be a lesson
here in my rather unpleasant
situation. You can imagine the
feeling I had as I sat outside Fire
Chief Williams' office thinking of
how I was going to explain to
him I wasn't putting my jour
nalistic axe to his men, it wasn't
something I'd like to go through
every day. I felt like a little kid
sitting outside the principal's
office waiting to be reprimanded
for putting some girl's pigtails in
my bottle of black India ink. I've
got to say the Chief was a tnie
gentleman about the whole
matter and accepted my apology
without causing me much pain.
I think that in the future the
.New Wino can promise you he
will definitely not venture to
reporting stories, but just stay
with our usual format of non
sense and outrageous com
mentary. God and the Fire Chief
forgive me and I hope that you
will tool
Letters To Editor
Dear Mr. Davis and Mr. Cady,
I must apologize for the
editorial stand taken by Mr. ,AI
Wheeler during Saturday night's

steps have been taken to insure
this situation will not occur in
the future. WGTM will be most
happy to offer you equal time to
reply to any statements.
Professional journalism also
has responsibilities, regardless
of the media, and it has always
been the policy of WGTM to
present to the public the most
professional reporting.
In broadcasting the .Atlantic
Christian basketball games.

better supfKirt with the students

complaints from any student,

personal attack made during the
basketball game.
Sincerely,
Tom Camptiell
Gejieral Manager

Dear Jim;
I just read your February 4th
edition.
It is certainly not surprising
that college students are still
critical of all facets of college
life. This has always been true,
although I will say that until
recent years most of this
criticism has been more or less
good-natured.
There is just one thing I would
like to ask of you. I want you and
all of your writers and staff to
keep a copy of this particular
issue and review it a few years
from now when you are a little
more mature. I am sure you will
find your expressions to be not
quite so cute as they may seem
to be now. If your generation
follows the pattern of all past
generations, you will at that
Time be more charitable towards
the shortcomings of others an
more tolerant of their \iews an
convictions.
-As Editor of your paper, your
responsibilities are niuc
greater than you may realize.
Let me urge you to be both air
and constructive. Otherwise
your paper has no reason
existence.
Sincerely yours.
Jim Brunt
Dear Editor.
It seems that anyone c
publish "anything" m “

students. It is terrible w
