AM ASKED WHY fashion models always pose with one leg
slightly in front of the other. Because they’re knockkneed. Or
most are. Rare is the girl whose legs look their best when she
stands straight with her feet together. Could name you a dozen

knockkneed they almost clatter when they walk. But that
would be uncouth and lowdown.

Change through
law, reason
May first was Law Day in Griffin and
throughout the nation. It was a day set
aside for all Americans as a special period
of rededication to the principle that this is
a nation existing under law, law which
governs but also protects. Our individual
rights and freedom are guaranteed by the
rule of law, and where laws end, tyranny
begins.
The theme for this, the 18th annual Law
Day, was “Channel Change Through Law
and Reason.” It is particularly appropriate
in this period of our nation’s history when a
tiny segment of the population is at
tempting to bring change through violent
dissent.
It is this attempt to sway the majority of
Americans by violent means that brings
the greatest threat to democracy. Not that
the violent minority are likely to achieve
their goals but that the majority will
S Dignity—Elusive
Goal for Youth
Bv DON OAKLEY
Today's youth revolution stems from “a new perception
of human dignity,” says the Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh.
Father Hesburgh, president of Notre Dame University,
urged delegates to the National Catholic Educational As
sociation convention in Minneapolis to help the young in
their search for this dignity.
The youth revolution stems from a new perception of
human dignity, a new concern to achieve more dignity
and sanctity for human life, more meaning and more
rights for all human beings,” he said.
“Crime on the Camptis Spreading Fear.” read the head
line to a story in the New York Times a few days later.
“There is a new kind of crime on the city’s college
campuses ... It pits students against students . . . And,
in the youth vocabulary today, it has even acquired a new
name—the rip-off .. .
“The rip-off, in the current campus context, is an as
sault and generally theft of some valuable from another
person, although the term may be used for any act of
violence against any person or even a disliked university
or government facility. But lately it is people, and par
ticularly students, who are getting ‘ripped off.’
“A major reason for this increase in the number of as
saults and robberies is the growth of the underground
drug culture.”
Favorite targets for ripping off, says the story, are the
drugs stashed in the dormitory rooms of student pushers,
who seem to be known to everybody except the police.
But many average students have suffered thefts of stereo
and television sets, luggage, clothing—anything of value
that can be fenced for money to pay for drugs.
New York Citv, fortunately, has never been typical of
the rest of the country. But campus crime, if not yet an
alarming problem in most areas, is a growing one, espe
cially at big universities.
It is to be hoped, as Father Hesburgh implies, that the
majority of youth are searching for human dignity.
It would seem, however, that they have a rough road
ahead of them, and they can’t blame it all on the phony
values of the older generation, the Establishment, the po
litical system or American capitalist-imperialism.

finally shake off its apathy and crush the
dissenters. Historically, such reaction
tends to crush all dissent, both peaceful
and violent.
Laws can be changed—but not by
breaking them. And the bar association’s
plea to all who seek reform—whether
young or old, black or white, poor or rich—
to “Channel Change Through Law and
Reason” should be heeded.
The only responsible way to bring
reform is to work for it with the laws of the
land. And if we are to retain our freedom,
all major changes must come through law
and reason. It is this willingness of the vast
majority of Americans to accept the spirit
and the letter of the law, and to apply it in
relations with others, that has enabled
democracy to survive. This principle
must be maintained if freedom is to be
maintained.

ANSWER
Love, fear, faith
Can I find salvation through
love for God’s kindness, rather
than through fear of His wrath?
P.R.
Salvation comes only as the
result of faith in Jesus Christ
and what He has done for us.
There are those who, faced with
both the fact of their own sins,
and the certainty of God’s judg
ment on sin, turn to Christ as
Savior and through this faith
they find peace and the assur
ance of salvation. There are
others who are attracted to God
and His Son through the love
which they have shown for man
and his redemption. However,
whether understood or not, the
way to eternal life is through a
realization of one’s own sinful
ness, and a turning from sin to
faith in Jesus Christ and His
redemptive work on the Cross.
There is nothing wrong about
being fearful of the penalty of
sin. It is also right that we
should love God with all of our
hearts, not only for who He is
but also for what He has done
for us. The Apostle Paul wrote:
“Knowing therefore the terror
of the Lord, we persuade men.”
He also wrote, “For the love of
Christ constraineth us.”
