By FRED SEELY ' " DTH Co-Editor ? A Liberian students from Bene dict College - in Columbia, S.

The short, balding, political scientist , suggested that "pull ing out troops and putting in the Peace Corps" might have work ed five years ago. But, "if you make mistakes . for five years you can't undo them." One delegate, from The Cita- - del,, disagreed vigorously .with Waskow!s-speech and opinions. "Someone has to tell him he's out to lunch," the student shout ed after the talk. - . ;. A fellow cadet from the mili tary, college advised him to calm down and uphold the dig nity of The -Citadel blazer, he was wearing. - The heated dele gate replied: "Sure I know I'm wearing a Citadel blazer; and I'm glad I am. I'm an Ameri can and I'm proud of it!" Waskow was somewhat apolo getic about such reactions.- "My job isn't to criticize" totalitari ans; I know how nasty they are. My job is to try to understand and outsmart them. - ''People must .realize that "within the American family we can and must differ on poli cies." Interviewed later at the Caro lina Inn, Waskow said: "I very much hope U Thant can do something about the crisis: But friends in, the U.N. have, told - me not to depend upon a meet ing of the Security Council." He reiterated his suggestion that -Japanese, instead of U.N. . peace-keeping forces, be asked to guard the Vietnamese border after a 7ceasefire. ; The U.Nr is . ''paralyzed," he ., asserted, be-" ' cause the U; .S. would object to the USSR's; vote in the Se- eurity Council.. , ; :. i "But if Thant called for a re storation of the New Year's f truce, the U. S. wouldn't strike north and wouldn't have, a rea son to do so." ; He said some good might come of the Viet Nam crisis if it ends peaceably. He noted that "one value of the Cuban crisis was that everyone was so frightened that the nuclear test ban resulted." Liberian Visitor Angered was called a "nigger-lover." In a letter to the Daily Tar Heel, the Chapel Hill Weekly, Dean of Men William G. Long and the Durham Morning Herald, Hage said he "did not wish to judge the behavior of the entire community by these incidents, but (the participants) seemed to en joy the protection of the police and other authorities and there fore in some -way -represent, a part of the atmosphere in which we as guests here were expected to live." Gardner, in a letter to the .
