Harold Brown, reputed
scientific wizard and
administrator, commanded
by President Carter, to
search for belated clues to
the Iranian disaster
and why all the eyes and
ears of the James Bond
intelligence fraternity failed
to hear, see and report any
ting of a disturbing nature
to the secret precincts of
the much vaunted "intelli
gence community." '
The brutal fact of the
matter is that nations can
not live by guns alone. The
oil supplies to the world
can no longer be protected
by 120 ton tanks or the
etherial laser weapons
being developed by Harold
Brown's scientific colleagues
Neither can the peace and
tranquility of the United
States be protected by a
massive arms budget while
the cities perish and our
youth wanders in the desert-like
wasteland of one
proud metropolitan regions.
The awesome fact of our
time is that the poor of
the world have suddenly dis
covered that the pageantry
and power of Sheik and
Shah, President and
Royal Majesty cannot
tap the earth's riches for
the nations while so much
being wasted on humanity
killing gadgetry. :

In addition there are
many influential
Americans like the aging
tycoons Cyrus Eaton and
Averill Hatiman who

our own national security
staff is not questioning
the wisdom of its past
advice to the President.
It is now deeply involved in
trying to fathom, for

spot on the globe, the
correct mixture of mili
tary power and economic
well being for the people
that might pervent other
Iran's from happening. But
at all times the question of
military power dominates
all other considerations; and
it is upon this issue of mi
litary power that the
fates will render their ver
dict. '
The economic costs to
the people of the U.S.
have been enormous. In
Viet Nam, for example, we
spent over $300 billion on
a war that most military
experts said could never be
won. When the war ended,
we abandoned $5 billion
worth of military hard
ware to the victorious Viet
Cong.
At an earlier time, in
1949, Mao-Tse-Tung's
armies captured another $5
billion worth of Ameri
can equipment consigned
to the defeated Chiag-Kai-
Chek. When France fought
the Algerian liberation
forces it almost brought
bankruptcy for the French
until the United States
bailed the French out to
the tune of S3 billion. :
The Irony in all of thi

trading partners. ' With
Algeria the UJS.' conducts
a flourishing business in an
atmosphere of mutual trust.
Fact is that the US.' is
Algeria's biggest trading
partner. And as for the
Chinese it is common
knowledge that the intern
ational business community
has finally found salvation,
peace .and tranquility form
its many troubles, that
threaten a ' deep world
wide recession, within
the Chinese economic
bosom
It is time for the world
to come to love us once
again as it did in the
days of President Roose
velt. It is time for us to
heel our own historic
wrongs and to come to the
world in Peace, Brother
hood and cooperation. '
The recognition of these
facts as our most important
national secrets is the first
step towards a truly open
society.
Hill has designed a 12-part
educational series to en

read black newspapers. 1
A pilot version of the
series will appear in the

Rams were rated No. 4
in District 26, trailing
nationally ranked High
Point, Pfeiffer and
Gardner-Webb Colleges
by only 2 and 4 points. '
The -Rams had split
games with N.C A&T.
Faytteville St. ' and
Johnson C. Smith, lost
to Division I Howard
in the finals of the Holi
day Festival Tournament
and dropped solo games
to Northern Division
teams Norfolk and Hamp
ton for the only losses of
the season. Meanwhile, the
25 point per game scoring
of 6-7 forward Reggie
Gaines and the 12.5 'per
game' rebound average of
6-5 center Mike Robinson
had put WSSU at the top
of those team categories in
the CIAA and District
26. ' Both Gaines and
Robinson are juniors. '
Reggie Gaines was
voted to both the All
CIAA and All-District
26 teams. David Harold,
senior 6-3 point guard,
joined Gaines on the AI1
CIAAteam. '
In the CIAA Tourna
ment at Norfolk's Scope,
the Rams beat Virginia St.
84-76 in the opening
round but were crushed 85
65 by Norfolk St. to the
semi-finals and 111-86 by
Hampton Institute in the
consolation game. 'Even
with those losses, Reggie
Gaines was the top vote
getter on the All tourna
ment Tea, and the only
Ram to make the team. '
The CIAA Tourna
ment losses dropped WSSU
to 5th place in District 26,
and the Rams traveled to
Belmont Abbey College for
the opening round of the
District Charnpionship. A
thrilling last second 81-79
victory revived the team's
- spirits as they headed to
the Tournament at the

Memorial Coliseum.
WSSU lead top-seeded
High Point College all of
the first half until a last
second jumper knotted the
score at 24 apiece. The
Panthers came out of the
locker room on fire and
smoked until the buzzer
ended the Rams' season
with a 7149 loss. 1
"We really got beat
bad," said Coach Gaines
about the post-season
games. WSSU had lost 3 of
those 5 games, ane each
loss had been by 20 points
or more. "We just got
killed on our inside game,"
observed Games. "I've got
to get busy and start
recruiting or itll be like
this every night next year.1
Next year's team will be
without reserve forward
Billy Lhggs (6-3), reserve
center Torin McKenzie (6-6)
and point guard David
Harold, this year's captain.
Reggie Gaines, who was
voted to the Little All-
America second team, will
return to the wing, as
will sophomore Mark
Clark (6-3). Mike Robin

(6-5) will be back at
the two corners. "Robin
son and Jones need help
underneath," said Gaines.
"I've got two good little
guards in Tyrone Grand-
berry (6-3 Fr.) and
Ricky Wright (6-2 Fr.)
to take over at the point.
My first priority is to find
some big men who can
play right away,," '
