McGovern Speaks On Issues
THIS IS WHAT GEORGE
McGovern said about —
WAR
“I am tired of old men
dreaming up wars for young
men to die in.” “Ours is a
generation under pressure,
engaged in a struggle we did not
start, in a world we did not
make. We have been chosen to
usher in either a new generation
of hope or a new generation of
terror.”
THE ECONOMY
“It will require a genuine
commitment to put America to
work ... not on the business of
war ... but on the business of
building up America.”
“What does it do to our nation
to invest annually more than
half of our entire national budget
in building the weapons of death,
while neglecting the quality of
our schools, our cities, and our
lives?
EMPLOYMENT
“We desperately need

housing, schools, day-care
centers, health care, new transit
systems, anti-pollution devices
and environmental programs of
many kinds. There’s enough
work in this country for every
man and woman who is capable
of working if we set our values
straight.”
CIVIL RIGHTS
“I shall seek to call America
home to those principles that
gave us birth.” “Liberty is not
divisible. You cannot be free to
support and not to oppose, to
approve and not to criticize.”
WOMEN’S RIGHTS
“As we limit the potential of
our women, so do we limit our
nation.”
VOTE McGOVERN
-SHRIVER O.N NOVEMBER 7th
YOUTH
“Those of you who are young
must serve our .society in order
to preserve what is as old as man
himself: his quest for peace and
freedom and dignity.” “So my
generation helped build a base
for your generation. And now we
have given you something that
was not given to us — the right to
vote. With it you can insure that
our society will be better able
than ever before to meet the
needs of future generations.”
EDUC.ATION
“The minds of our young
people are our most precious
resource.” “Everywhere the
praises of education are sung —
everywhere, that is, except in
the dry pages of the budget of the
United Slates Government;
those pages tell a very different
story.”
SENIOR CITIZENS
“Good health-care is the right
of every American citizen.”
“The quality of any society can
be measured in the way in which
it treats its older citizens.
THE ENVIRONMENT
“The avoidance of a stagnant,
polluted nation ranks with
national defense, education, and
health as essentials fn our
national life.” “We’re not going
to have another chance at
replacing God-given resources
once they are destroyed.”

Student Body Meets
By WALTER TYLER
On Monday night at 6:00 p.m.
in Hardy Hall there was an SGA
meeting SGA President Robert
Cayton presided, with a good
number of interested students
attending.
The first order of business
brought before the students was
that of campus security. Danny
Smith had done a survey of
security situation on campus
discussing the school's position
on security and how the Wilson
police helped out. It was brought
out that the main duties were
checking to see if lights were
turned off and doors locked.
There was also mentioned the
age factor of the guards em
ployed.
Danny Smith made a motion
that the Student Life Committee
and Trustees examine the
security problems here on
campus. Smith then suggested
certain hours that he thought the
school should have adequate
security present. The students
agreed and the motion was
passed. Their motion will now go
to the Trustees.
The next order of business was
the length of the weekend hours
for women. Margie Thorpe
moved that junior and senior
women be allowed to stay out till
2:00 a.m. and be given a 30
minute grace period. After there
was some discussion on how
other schools met the problem of
lengthening dorm hours for
women. But this original motion
made by Margie was carried.
This will go to the ad
ministration council and if
passed will go into effect im-

mediately.
Lastly the budget was brought
up. The cheerleaders had $500
deduction from Iheir $1200 share
of the budget and felt they should
have a portion of their original
budget back. After pleadmg
their case, several questions
were fielded from the floor. The
matter seemed to turn into a
quagmire until MIKE Green,
Chairman of the Entertainment
Committee, stated that his
committee would donate the
extra funds to cover the
cheerleaders expense and the
matter was ended. The budget
was then passed and the meeting
was dismissed.
