Letter To Editor
Students Blast LBJ Editorial
Dear Editorial Staff (or who
ever wrote the article on the
P eside-tial campagin since
the author failed tc sign his
name):
Your editorial concerning
So ator Goldwater and Presi
dent Johnson in the last edi
tor of THE WEST GEOR
GIAN impressed us very
nuch, but however it was an
unfavorable impression.
I cnically the editorial, en
titled “Will Reason Be Used
To Elect A President,” show
ed very little reason in the
obvious attack on the distin
guished Senator from Arizona,
zona.
Fir instance, you say that
Senator Goldwater’s claims
v e not founded “in fact and
appeal only to the emotion,
p eiudice, and ignorance of the
people.” How can you be so
ruch more informed than the
rest of us as to know how his
claims appeal to the American
public? Have you used psy
choanalysis on the whole so
ciety?
You state that Senator
Goldwater is basing his cam
paign on an “intangible
thing,” a sort of mystery, that
he hopes to learn from the
people. How do you know that
he is basing his campaign on
this? Did he say that this was
his basis? Did he tell you
personally? We have not heard
about his disclosing such in
formation.
If you are one cf those baf- i
fled individuals who “search
for his position and long to
discover what he really be
lieves,” why don’t you give it
an honest effort and read Sen
ator Goldwater’s books. We
hinhlv recommend THE CON
SCIENCE OF A CONSERVA
TIVE and WHY NOT VIC
TORY? (although he has writ
ten other books). In these rela
tively short volumes he states
his opinions frankly and firm
ly in a manner that is easy
n understand, even for baf
fled and frustrated editors.
Since Senator Goldwater
said of Representative Wil
liam Miller, “He drives John
son nuts,” and since he chose
Miller as his vice-presidential
running mate, do you “rea
son” that Senator Goldwater
chose him solely because of
this? Get serious!! Perhaps the
truth spoken by Representative
Miller, as well as the distin
guished Senator from Arizona,
does make President Johnson
a little nervous, Lut we are
sure that Senator Goldwater
based this important decision
on the real qualifications of
Miller for the office. Your
editorial quoted a statement of
Senator Goldwater entirely out
of its context and drew con
clusions by a vague associa
tion. This is not reason!
Again you are baffled by
Senator Goldwater’s five-year
tax cut proposal. We will not
even try to explain specifical
ly how his administration
would attempt to he lance the
budget, repay the national debt
and increase military spend
ing, but we are firmly con
vinced that in the plan the
Republicans would use ef
ficiency for a charge.
If “the South fee’s that Sen
ator Goldwater will stop the
civil rights movement” (as you
say), it is not because he
ever made the statement that
he would stop it. To my know
ledge, he does not claim for
one minute to be opposed to
civil rights. However, he is op
posed to government measures
which supposedly grant civil
rights to some while sacrificing
the rights of others, specifical
ly the businessmen, the lead
ers of our system of free en
terprise who have made priv
ate investments of time and
| money in their own business
es.
We suppose that we could

THE WEST GEORGIAN
Homecoming
Plans Begin
Plans for Homecoming 1964
at West Georgia College are
; well under way. Many events
have been planned for this
day, Saturday, November 21,
including an alumni basket
ball game in the afternoon, an
alumni banquet, and the an
ual Homecoming dance which
will be highlighted by the
crowning of the Homecoming
queen.
Many alumni are expected to
return to West Georgia for this
event.
New Literary
J
Club Organizes
Plans for organizing a Liter
ary Club were started Wed
erday afternoon, October 7,
at 4:15, in Room 112 of the
Education Building.
The club, under the direction
of Dr. Paul Bowdre, is being
organized to bring together all
students interested in litera
ture.
One of the purposes of the
club is to encourage both crea
tive and critical writing by its
members. The club also plans
to present programs and spon
sor events of literary interest.
Election of officers will be
held at the next meeting, Oc
tober 21, at 7:00 p.m., in the
Gordon-Watson Room.
The report of the Constitution
Committee will also be pre
sented.
The club is planning to meet
every two weeks.
evaluate your editorial further,
but we feel that we have
made our point. Anyway, try
as we might, we cannot under
stand the subtle meaning of
your remark about Simon Le
gree. Neither shalt we attack
President Johnson specifically
at this time. We have hopes
that President Johnson will get
away from his beagles long
enough to make more speeches
so that he might lose votes on
his own inability to express
himself clearly.
Please do not misunderstand
us. We do not object to criti
cism of the Republicn candi
dates when there is a real
basis for criticism. We trust
that the well-informed voter
will decide for himself the val
idity, if any, in the remarks
made from either of the two
opposing political camps.
Sincerely,
Leslie Brown
