No Solution In Sight
For Cyprus—Holmes
BY SUSAN STEWART
Responding to the recent
Cyprus conflict Dr. Yulssus Lynn
Holmes, of the West Georgia
history department, said that he
sees no end to the controversy on
the island. In an in
terview Wednesday, he said, “I
see nothing but more trouble. The
problem is how do you get Greek-
Cypriots and Turkish-Cypriots to
live together.”
Holmes said he feels that the
problem lies within the fact that
•‘you’ve got two groups who don’t
get along. The minority (Turkish-
Cypriots which are outnumbered
by Greek-Cypriots 500,000 to
120,000) is afraid of the majority,
and the majority is trying to take
advantage of the minority.”
“Enosis,” union of the island
with Greek, has been the goal of
the Greek nationalists since the
independence of Cyprus, he said.
The Cyprus situation is being
complicated by external forces
from Greece, according to
Holmes. “Every five or ten
years, we can expect more
trouble."
The incident which left Greece
and Turkey on the verge of war
last week is not new. In 1960,
when Britain granted in
dependence to Cyprus Greece.
Turkey and Britain agreed to join
together to insure that Cyprus
remain free and independent,

Seeks Students
Next quarter students will have
a chance to have an impact on the
community.
According to Mr. Henry
Dufour, assistant professor of
sociology, anew volunteer ser
vice will allow students to work
through the Department of
Offender Rehabilitation with
adults on probation.
“The purpose of the program is
to give students a chance to
become involved with other
people,” Dufour said. “This
program is similar to the adult
version of the “Big Brother”
program where someone gives of
his time to help others.”
Any student who is willing to
give some of his time to others
and who are interested in
receiving a rewarding ex
perience in human relations
would probably enjoy working
with this probation service,
accordirg to Dufour.
For further information about
the program, students may

decade, in 1963 and 1967, Turkey
has prepared to go to war against
the Greek-Cypriot majority.
A Greek nationalist led coup,
on July 15, ousted the President,
Archbishop Makarios of Cyprus,
and former asasin and terrorist
Nicholas Samson took office.
Five days later, Turkish troops
began to pour onto the island and
into the capital od Nicosa in order
to protect their interests on the
island. Cyprus became the
battleground of two NATO allies,
and Greece threatened to declare
war unless Turkey withdrew.
Glafcos Clerdies was named to
the presidency of Cyprus on an
interim basis. The replacement
of Samson with Clerdies has been
viewed as an attempt toward a
peace settlement with Turkey.
Clerdies was speaker of the
House of Representatives under
the administration of Archbishop
Makarios before the coup.
On July 24, the United Nations
Security Council, through a
unanimous decision, approved a
resolution for a cease fire on the
island, as negotiations continue
between Greece, Britain and
Turkey.
