BLUE KEY SPEAKE£
Work withinsystem-Hollings
By PATRICE WAITERS
Astociate newt editor
Students hard hats and other
factions of society must learn
to compromise and solve the
country s problems within the
system. Sen Ernest F Holl
ings, D.-S.C . said here Friday
night
Hollings. speaking at the
annua! Blue Key awards ban
quet blasted the Nixon admin
istration for its leadership by
political bamboozle
"We don't face problems
together anymore - we meet
them as special interest
groups, as members of impa
tient minority blocs and organi
zations We identify not as
Americans, but as hard hats or
students or militants or women
liberators or as members of the
silent majority," Hollings said
He said that everyone is
shouting and no one is listening,
and each person thinks his own
group is the only right one
"RATHF1R THAN ‘bring us
together,' the mood at this
moment is leave us alone And
the creed is do things my way
or get out — America, iove it
or leave it' — but always with
the stipulation that I will de
cide what America means "
The hard hat does not want
to talk to the student — he
wants the student to shut up:
the student seeks no compro
mise with the hard hat — he
hopes for an America without
hard hats. Hollings said
He compared America today
with the America of 1860 “A
hundred years ago we lost pati
ence with one another - we ran
out of tolerance. We lost the
spirit of compromise: we came
apart at the seams The nation
disintegrated and it took the
bloodiest war in our nation's
history to put this country to
gether again
"It seems that everyone
would realize that America did
not grow to maturity on a one
way street of non-negotiable
demands It progressed instead
on a broad avenue of give and
take — of reasonable argument
and of taking what was best
from the many diverse groups
who settled in this land '
HOLLINGS SAID that a so
ciety in which each group sees
itself as infallible will choke on
its pride, and he pointed out
that a society where each ins
ists on doing his own thing is a
society where nothing gets
dote.
"We cannot be reminded too
forcefully that in the Declara
tion of Independence there was
also a declaration of depend
ence united we stand, divided
we fall That was the challenge
of the l970's. and that is the
challenge of the 1970 s." Holl
ings said
He said that many of his
generation are annoyed bv the
attention public officials now
accord students, but students
are more concerned about the
future of this country and what
it stands for then older citizens
are
"Students approach their
vision of what America should
be with a religious zeal." said
Hollings They ask questions
that can t be left unanswered
Students have an effect "
He said that students can be
crediteJ with consumer protec
tion. automobile safety, meat
inspection and the fairness doc
trine — testing each law as to
its fairness to all
"MANY TIMES, while the
best brains of industry are tell
ing us it can't be done, the stu
dents prove otherwise." he
said
Hollings gave the example of
the 50 students who recently
drove their self-designed cars
with emission free engines
across the country. Detroit
industrialists had said that the
proposed House bill requiring a
90 per cent emission free stand
ard by 1980 could not be met by
that time — yet two of the stu
dents actually exceeded the
standards envisioned for 1980
Hollings said that although
society learns from students,
students must also learn from
society Once the students
decide a matter, they believe it
new mothers
"Many times, the students
seem to know the cost of every-
thmg and the value of no
thing. Hollings said The
student knows all there is to
know about an Asian peasant
10,000 miles away, but often
shows no understanding what
ever for the guy next door, who
in his way. is working and build
ing this country
HE SAID THAT impatience
is also the mark of the student
Bom and bred on instant
instant credit, they expect in
stant government If they agree
on something it must be now
Today s generation [ails to ap
preciate that America and the
road to freedom is not the 100-
yard-dash, but the endurance
contest
"We in the establishment
must understand that we are in
charge of the contest: we need
self-discipline just as much as
the students we must listen
and respond." he said
Hollings said a statement
made by DeTocqueville over
130 years ago — "There are
many men of principle of both
parties in America, but there is
no party of principle — is still
ture today
LYNDON JOHNSON is
just as much responsible for
today's inflation as is Richard
Nixon Johnson stumbled and
fumbled on the war just as
much as Nixon and unfortun
ately, both lead from consensus
rather than concern
Both attacked the politics
of the problem rather than the
problems themselves If we can
outlive the age of demonstra
tions. if we can outlive govern
ment by political polls we sliall
be a blessed nation indeed. " Holl
ings said
People just don't feel they
are a part of the government
anymore, he observed "If I
sense the tempo of America
today, people feel that govern-
is right for America, Students ment is deriving its just powers
must learn that they are not a
majority." He pointed out that
college students are a minority
of the young: only a quarter of
the UFand-a-half million 18-19
and 20-year-olds are students
Fifty per cent of this age group
are breadwinners, workers and
hard hats, and one million are
from dissent rather than con
sent."
He blamed the citizens' feel
ings of isolation on "a govern
ment too quick to politic" and
the administration's failure to
make a definite position on the
war Hollings also said that
Nixon supplants' his Southern
strategy with a Support the
Commander-m-Chief Strategy
gy making it somehow un
American to criticize the presi
dent
HOLLINGS BEGAN his crit
icism of Vice President Spiro
Agnew stating that "for an
Administration dedicated to
"bring us together" the Vice
President in ranting rhetoric
ripsusapait."
He blasted Agnew s neglig
ence of the various councils of
which he is chairman, staling
that he has not yet convened a
meeting of the President's
Council on Youth Opportunity,

with the Marine Science Coun
cil. was absent from the first
meeting of the Office of Inter

Most importantly. Agnew

tutional duty. President of the
United States Senate." Hollings
charged "As campaigner-in-
chief for the "Support the
Commander-in-Chief Strategy.'
he has been absent 98 per cent
of the time, roaming the land,

Hollings said the Support

3. In 1971 dramatic Vietnamiza-
tion will occur and the news of
large numbers of returning
troops will be laid on lor the
1972 election.
AIMING HIS CHARGES at
President Nixon. Hollings said.
"The great presidents used
rhetoric to implement action,
not to obscure it. We can', say
no more Vietnams and then
start another one in Cambodia
under the guise of self-defense
we cannot have a Nixon plan
for the East and a Marshall

Narcotic research center
will be established here
The Corrections Division of
the Institute of Government
and the School of Pharmacy at
the University are working in a
joint effort to establish a re
search center for narcotic in
formation. James Morgan of
the Institute of Government
said recently
Previously. Georgia has had
no central location for gather
ing of information on drugs and
narcotics, the rehabilitation of
drug addicts or the prevention
of the spread of drug usage, he
noted
The fact that such informa
tion is not readily available.
Morgan said, has caused self-
styled ‘ experts to appear on
the scene with offers to sell
their experience to well-mean
ing citizen groups in search of
information
THIS CENTER will have on
file information on legitimate
programs and the resources
available to individuals and
communities interested in ob
taining information on narcot
ics and other dangerous drugs.
Morgan said.
The information on file will
include literature and films on
the subject of drugs, he added
Research at the center will
be done in three major areas.
Morgan said, prevention
through education, enforce
ment programs and rehabilita
tion programs.
The Police Science Division
of the Institute of Government
is staffed with personnel who
have worked in the area of nar
cotics enforcement and narcot
ics education, he said. They are
aware of organizations and in
dividuals that can identify ma
jor sources of information on
the subject of narcotics and
dangerous drugs, he stated
THE CORRECTIONS divi

which will be of assistance in
providing information for the
center. Morgan said
The University Pharmacy
School and their research capa
bilities will be called on to as
sist in this project, he noted
He added the the availability
of graduate assistants skilled in
data collection and presenta
tion will help to assure the qual

According to Bracewell. the
iefender-advocate system will
provide students who are
thoroughly versed in the working
if the student court system to
Jefend those who have been
jeeused of rule violations
The system will also provide
Uudents to represent the Uni

AH students will be encour

Those interested will be

The president also has the right-
to withdraw a senator from off
ice for a valid reason
If the absence is found unex
cused. the senator will be
placed on probation, unless the
incident was his second one He
is automatically withdrawn
from the Senate upon the sec
ond offence
The reason for this strict
policy is to make the Senate
more efficient and to get great
er cooperation from the indi
vidual senators." Corr said
The Senate ha.> planned to
take up several issues this
quarter, the latest being the filling
of student judiciary posts as rapi
dlv as possible, according to Corr.
