The Way We See It
BY TIM TOURTELLOTTE
In this Editor’s opinion that congratulations should be ex
tended to Ron Bayes and Whitney Jones for their role in
arranging the visits of William Stafford and Robert Creeley to
St. Andrews. These are probably two of America’s most widely
read living poets, besides the quasi-poet Rod McKuen.
I promised Dewey I would say something nice about the food
service. It seems that Dewey was mildly upset by my co-editor’s
statement concerning student’s appetites. Okay, Dewey: the
view of the lake from the cafeteria is marvelous! And of course,
whose Christian spirit is not awed by the salt shakers with their
eccelesiastical comment: “Excellence for Christ?” I extend my
financial sympathies to Dewey. Food prices must really be
outrageous. Yesterday I went back for seconds on hamburgers
and they were rationing them. Seriously, the steaks we had last
week, though small, were quite tasty.
BY SKIP TAYLOR
Over the past few days “the
wall” has been repainted. The
subject of that paint job seems
to me to be an excellent idea.
Why not free Howard Hunt?
Mr. Hunt acted in what he
beUeved to be the best interest
of the country, i.e. to get
Richard Nixon re-elected as
President. Since Mr. Hunt was
only following what he
believed to be right, why
shouldn’t he be freed? He felt
the ends in this case justified
the means.
Many persons on this cam
pus have felt in the past that
the ends justify the means, but
yet, I have heard very few cry
for release of Mr. Hunt or any
other Watergate defendant. I
would like to know why? It
seems everyone is' talking
about no one being above the
law. That seems extremely
strange to me. Possibly
memory fails me, but I would
swear I heard people angrily
swearing at the police after
the last bust on campus. And
didn’t some of those same
people throw mud at police
cars two years ago to pre
vent the enforcement of this
country’s laws? And did not
most of us cry for the re
lease of the Chicago 8 and
others arrested for violently
protesting? And do not most of
us support a plea for amnesty
of those who defied the law
during the Viet Nam War?
Were those people not
breaking the law? Yet most of
us supported them and
protested for the release of
those imprisonewd for these
reasons. Did most of us not
feel the laws were wrong and
the actions done were right in
most of these cases? Did we
not support these violations of
the law, partly to see its
cnange or downfall? And is
that not as much as saying
“the ends justify the means”?
You may say “Yes, the ends
do sometimes justify the
means.” But when are we
right and others wrong?
Howard Hunt felt he was
right. Why was what he did
considered wrong and what
we have done considered
right? Should the law be en
forced only when we disagree
with those involved? Is it like
the song says: Do we think we
have “God on our side”?
Think about it the next time
you say, “No one should be
above the law.” Make sure
you say “no one” and not “no
one else.”
Why not free Howard Hunt?

Letters
To the Editors of the Lance.
Concerning the change of
Visitation Hours.
This semester I dropped out
of St. Andrews temporarily
and took a job because I felt
that I was not getting any
practical knowledge from
there. I am presently working
as a teachers aide to the High
School class at the AsheviUe
Orthopedic Hospital School,
and I have been asked to tell
several people about the
facilities at St. Andrews, and
it is very hard for me to
recommend anyone to a
school that changes one of its
major policies so suddenly
and drastically. The Student
Body has worked very hard
for many years to get the
present visitation hours to
what they are now, and I
believe it is an insult to them
to have the Administration
suddenly change its policies
concerning this. As a senior I
am aware that St. Andrews
has had several problems, and
is losing students (or is it
parential pocketbooks?) con
cerning the open hours,
however, I believe that some
perspective students will also
be appaled at the drastic
change of policies concerning
this. As an unofficial represen
tative of the school I can only
give my honest opinions about
such actions, and they cer
tainly are not favorable to this
institution.
Thank you

Dear Mr. Editor:
I read with some interest
and considerable anger the
comments regarding the food
service at St. Andrews.
This past week I have been
working with the officials of
the North Laurinburg
Elementary School where the
Peace Corps Breakfast
Program will begin its second
year on October 1. After
hearing stories from the prin
cipal and cafeteria director of
children there who have to be
taken out of class and fed milk
and crackers in order to stop
their crying because they are
hungry, the complaint con
cerning the inconvenience of
having to walk all the way
back to the serving counter for
seconds, when voiced in a
community where little
children are sent to school
without anything to eat at all,
is the worst kind of obscenity!
Yours truly,
George M. Conn, Jr.
OOOOOOOOOQOOOO'
Several opportunities are
available this year and help is
needed in each:
Breakfast Program - The
second year of a two year pilot
project designed to discover,
as has already been proven
elsewhere, whether or not an
adequate breakfast provided
to disadvantaged children
may significantly improve
their learning ability. Sixty
percent of the budget has been
picked up by the state for this
year and local authorities
have given verbal indication
of their intent to push the
program for the entire Laurin-
burg-Scotland County System
if we prove our point. Cmen-
tly feeding around 200
children, this could lead tn
feeding over 1000 children!

On Monday, October 1st, at
1:00 p.m. in Lumberton, em
ployed, unemployed, and
welfare people will stage a
mass demonstration and rally
against the Slave Labor
(W.I.N.) program being in
stituted by the government.
The Work Incentive program
was recently implemented in
Robeson county to force
people onto any job at lowest
wages. Within only one week,
W.I.N. has been used to break
a union drive by workers at
Converse Rubber Co. in Lum
berton. The National Unem
ployed and Welfare Rights
Organization calls upon your
support to expose and stop
this C.I.A. (yes, Watergate’s
C.I.A.) backed slave
program.
Since late 1969 the U.S. and
world economies have suf
fered an accelerating series
of crises, marked by the 1970
recession, the Aug. 15, 1971
dollar devaluation and wage
freeze, and by the recurring
monetary problems and
rising inflation of 1973. Taken
together, these crises con
stitute the opening phase of a
new world depression.
Throughout this period,
U.S. industrialists and gover
nment service agencies have
been experiencing greater
and greater difficulties main
taining the mammoth debt
and credit structure ac
cumulated since World War
II. These corporations and
agencies have responded to
the situation by cutting down
on the costs of maintaining a
work force.
Most have been moving, at
least since 1971, to reduce the
number of employees to the
absolute minimum-either by
direct layoffs, or else by
freezes on hiring of new per
sonnel, especially in in
dustries with a high turnover,
"nie employers then require
the reduced work force to con
tinue the same level of
production achieved before by
the full work force. In most
cases, in fact, the remaining
workers are expected to sur
pass previous production
levels.
But the speedup ac
complished over the last two
years has proven inadequate
to the continuing economic
crisis. Since the devaluation
of early 1973, the debt struc
ture has required an even
greater quantity of output per
dollar from each employed
worker. .
More speedup is not by it
self the answer, since some
workers are actively resisting
present levels, while many
are simply unable to bear the
physical strain of increased
