Some thought he was a beatnik; he
certainly would have been considered a
non-conformist today, with his beard
and sandals.
Others thought he was a two-bit
politician; his support among the lower
classes was certainly strong.
His followers considered him divine;
many of those who are not numbered
among his followers concede that h 1 s
was the answer to the problems of hu
manity. Journalists' accounts of his life and
death vary; he is given credit for sage
quotations and superhuman deeds. One
correspondent for the world's best
selling publication quoted him as bless

peacemakers.
But he was not opposed to acts of

Editor's note: Bowing to

After viewing yesterday's

distinct sense of anticlimax

For one thing, the title

gest her defection from life
as a misanthrop, or wheth
er she actually is in the
strip allegorically.
As soon as one settles on
the latter choice as a possi
bility, (and surely we have
to make one choice or the
other for the strip is named
Nancy) one begins to feel
that the rectangular shapes

third panel are not really
boxes as they at first seem,
but are symbolic of the Four
Horsemen of Apolcalypse
and, consequently, the four
levels of the human mind.
One wonders whether Mr.
Bushmiller, the author and
layout man of the strip, in
tends to attempt the ex
tended allegory in later
strips, or drop it like a hot
(one) potato.
One finds himself suspect
ing that Bushmiller will
simply let the allegory slide
into psychological oblivion,
and we will never find the
real reason he has elected
for one strip and one strip
only to show psychological
insight into Nancy by repre
senting her as a series of
boxes in a men's shop.
The protagonist of Thurs
day's strip, a lowlife by the
name of Sluggo, is seen in
the first panel as walking

a den of thieves and ejected them
bodily from one of the city's public
buildings. His life was a good example
for human judgement.
But he was misunderstood by the in
group, arrested, and subjected to a kan
garoo court, after which he was tortured
and executed with common criminals.
It was in this, one of humanity's most
shameful weekends, that humanity was
given a reason for existing.
His comrades deserted him during
the trial, only to return after his tri

panel he fixes his eyes
here Bushmiller resorts to
the archaic form of using
dotted lines to show a stare

Dear Editor,
The infesting thing about
Mr. Hammond's letter In
Wednesday's paper is not
its obvious Birchist attack
on the fundamental princi
ples of American society,
but the pathetic paranoia
which pervades that attack.
Because most intellegent
and sensible people believe
in democratic institutions,
and therefore condemn the
Birch society as a group
devoted to fascist goals,
people like Mr. Hammond
Dear editor,
The SANE people,
who demonstrated Monday,
made some monumental
blunders when they said we
should negotiate the South
Viet Nam war, which is civ
il in nature.
It is not a civil war and
we should not negotiate. It
is a war of communism ver
sus democracy. The com
munists have formulated
Dear editor,
It is personally discoura
ging to me and my fellow
military men to view and
hear the protestations of
groups like SANE, particu
larly when students, our fu
ture leaders, are involved.
Yet, in a way, it reinforces
my pride in a system of
government that permits
the freedom of expression.
Allen Gerlach makes sev
eral assumptions that have
no foundation in fact and
those lying in the "gray ar
ea" are slanted to acheve
his viewpoint.
First, the war is not a
civil war, it is aggression in
violation of an agreement
of July 22, 1954 which par
titioned Viet Nam at the
17th parallel. The North
Vietnamese violated this
agreement, in typical Com
munist style, in an effort to
subvert the existing gov
ernment in South Viet Nam
by force of arms.
It is not a losing war, but
a war made difficult by lack
of a firm U.S. foreign pol
icy and sniping on the
homefront by organzations
like SANE. If Mr. Gerlach
could extricate himself from
the cloistered serenity of his
environment and talk with
the peasants, he purports to
understand, he would find
apathy. They care not who
governs them but that they

All who disagree, from

There is no preference for
either government.
Most objectionable to me
is the term "pilot project
war" used by Mr. Gerlach.
It would seem from this
phrase that we coontinue in
Viet Nam merely for the
purpose of testing equipment
and procedures. A mo
ment's contemplation of the
obsolete equipment (B-26,
A-1E, T-28, and F-100 air
craft) and the limited mod
ern weaponry employed,
plus the more than 400 dad
sons, brothers, and fathers
would discount this ridicu
lous notion.
Many students have ex
pressed to me a fear that
this war and future United
States involvements may
lead to a nuclear holocaust.
The possibility exists that
Viet Nam may lead to the
use of nuclear weapons if
intervention by another gov
ernment occur?. Ftop and
think; is your freedom your

risking your life for, or will
you be a party to apathy

The latter can only lead to
subjugation of the way of
