SEGREGATION IN EDUCATION . . .
South Carolina Last
This month a problem is coming to
a head at Clemson College, S.C. A young
man from Charleston has decided that he
would like to attend Clemson instead of
Iowa State to study architectural engi
neering. This has not come as a surprise
to the administration of Clemson College
(a state supported, land grant school) as
his application has been pending, upon
"fulfillment of the proper requirements,"
since Jan. 1, 1961.
Clemson officials placed Harvey
Gantt's application and correspondence
in a vault in anticipation that there would
be court action.
From one standpoint this young man's
decision seems like a natural wish on the
part of a college student to attend a col
lege close to home, preferably in his
home state. South Carolina is Gantt's
home state.
From another standpoint, based upon
ingrained, emotional training, it seems
like an unusual wish that of arbitrarily
trying to break or force his presence
into an educational institution which has
never seen his face in the guise of a
student
Harvey Gantt wishes to enter Clem
son in a state which has had segregated
educational facilities in fact, it is the
only state left that has never had integration.
FOREIGN AID PROGRAM . . .
Republican
by John w. reiser
In early 1961, Repre
sentative Delbert L a 1 1 a
(R-Ohio) exposed to the
American public the fact
that our government was
engaged in the sale of
hard, red American wheat
to the Soviet Union and
was subsidizing the market
price to the tune of about
62 cents a bushel. He
also noted that Khrushchev
had announced to the So
viet people that there
would now be free bread,
"as proof of the superior
ity of the Soviet system."
Congressman Latta
questioned officials of the
Kennedy Administration
about this and was noti
fied that the program had
begun under the Eisen
bower administration.
This the Eisenhower peo
ple flatly denied. Since
neither party wanted to
take credit for the pro
gram, Latta introduced a
bill to stop it and to pre
vent future programs of
this type.
Suddenly the Kennedy

Wtatoini tatte stood.
Tradition dies hard and sometimes
unnecessarily violently as in Mississippi,
and sometimes quietly as in Georgia.
Clemson's president has said in essence
that there will be no repetition of what
happened in Mississippi this fall. South
Carolina is staunchly segregationist, as
much so as Mississippi. Most of the
state's newspapers support segregation
editorially. But Clemson, primarily a
men's school, is situated in the Piedmont,
the upstate region traditionally less seg
regationist than the "Low Country" of
Charleston.
It is impossible to speculate on the
outcome of the court's decree and the
affect it will have on Clemson. In Mis
sissippi the question was blurred by po
litical considerations and the influence
of outsiders. This could happen at Clem
son despite the best efforts of the school's
officials '"to preserve the dignity and
good name of Clemson and the state" if
segregation must come.
In a recent editorial, the Clemson Ti
ger, official school newspaper, said:
"The tragedy that was Mississippi must
not become the tragedy that is Clemson.
We, as students, do not want it; the fac
ulty does not want it; and, we hope, no
sane person who has considered the mat
ter rationally would want it."
Political Contrasts
ly decided that it was a
good program because
Latta's bill was stopped
in its tracks.
Then the fact that we
were training Yugoslavian
jet pilots to fly jets which
we ourselves had fur
nished them and their in
famous leader, Marshall
Tito, set off a public con
troversy. Early in this year, it
was noted within the
pages of oar leading news
magazines that we had in
fact spent millions of dol
lars in aid to communist
bloc nations.
Why is this being done?
Are we actually silly
enough to believe that his
aid will undermine the
Marxist determination to
"bury us?" Or is the aid
an attempt to buy time?
Are there people who are
not convinced that com
munism is not the implac
able foe of all for which
we stand? Do we honest
ly believe that friendship
exists between the Soviet
Union and this nation?
Why is this being done?
In conclusion, the Sino
Soviet bloc has made no

their intent with regard
to our future. As surely
as evil is the enemy of
good communism is the
enemy of capitalism. Let
us therefore put an end,
for all time to come, to
our unrealistic policy of
giving 'aid and comfort"
to that enemy. Let's do it
soon.
Tomorrow may be one
day too late.

What good can come of
American aid to Commu
nist nations? Are we not
aiding the Communist
cause? Are we helping
them through a crisis so
that they may later
"bury" us? These ques
tions appear definite
enough at first glance, but
the answers cannot be
found with such ease.
First, as was proven
with our aid to Yugo
slavia, this aid can drive
a wedge through the var
ious Communist alliances.
Investigations have prov
en that the satelite na
tions of Russia are com

mitted to the communist
cause by strength of arms,
not by unity of political
philosophy. If we don't
stand up to show our sup
port of the enslaved pro
pie by aid, we will only
strengthen the communist
world.
If aid is given, the
world, both free and Com
munist, will find that it
is our system that has the
strength to provide the
necessities of life. Our ag
ricultural surpluses, for
example, prove that our
free enterprise system is
the stronger system.
Thirdly, the United
States is a humanitarian
nation. Our founding fath
ers gave oar nation this
foundation. If-we are to
retain this aspect, let us
give aid to a suffering
people. If the Chinese are
starving, or the East Ger
mans, or others, it's oar
concern.
There appears a great
wall of distrust between
the East and West. With
the danger of nuclear war,
as exemplified by the re
cent Cuban crisis, and a
resulting realization of this
danger, perhaps this could

lead the way for a lessen
ing of this tension. The
coming together of peo
ples of different worlds
might make for more in
ternational brotherhood.
Does history support my
ideas? No one can say,
because there is no com
parable example in the
past. The few examples,,
those of U.S. wheat as a
gift to a starving Russian
people during the Russian
civil war, or U.S. aid to
facist Japan shortly be
fore the Second World
War.
Today, world opinion is
a growing force. Econom
ic systems are fighting to
achieve superior status.
Satellite nations are rest
less. The situation in to
day's world are strange to
those of previous gener
ations. Our policy must be
flexible enough to adapt
to these new conditions.
