Tadmadge, long an outspoken advocate of putting down present-day campus rebel lions in this country, delivered another hard-hitting speech on the subject the other day. He was one of a number of angry colleagues who arose in the Senate to de mand immmediate action in halt ing the wave of campus violence sweeping across the nation. Charging that college admini strators are “bowing down in supine resignation,” Sen Tal madge said “colleges and univer sities should lay down rules and regulations against illegal demon strations and enforce them with every resource at their command. If they cannot do the job, there are state and local police who can.” He added: “This is admittedly a hardline approach. But unless the country plans to turn its colleges and uni versities over to a bunch of radi cal hoodlums, this is what it is go ing to take to restore law and order on campuses. “We have had too much pam pering and acquiescence. What we need now is more respect for the law by students, by professors and by administrators.” So that there would be no mis take about the kind of student he is talking about, the Georgia sen ator emphasized this: “I do not refer to the youth of America in general.” He continued: “I am convinced that this group of anarchists represents a woe fully small percentage of Amer ican students. An overwhelming majority of the nation’s college and high school people are loyal, patriotic and hard-working. “Youth today has a deeper sense of responsibility, and they are better educated and more in telligent than any generation in the history of our country. It is the anarchists that need to be dealt with, and not youth in gen eral.” “Youth today has a deeper sense of responsibility, and they are better educated and more in telligent than any generation in the history of our country. It is the anarchists that need to be dealt with, and not youth in gen eral.” Who are these anarchists? Sen. Talmadge singled out the Stu dents for a Democratic Society as the ring leader in the movement “to spread their hate and discord all across the nation.” He as serted : “Students for a Democratic Society is an extremely left-wing, and probably Communist-orient ed, organization. I suspect the fact that SDS leans far to the left and is supposed to be liberal is part of the answer as to how and v’.iy this movement has come so far. “If this movement were right wing or politically conservative, I believe it would have been crushed long ago by the wrath of American citizens whipped up by the liberal establishment ... I be lieve the movement would have been doomed to public disaster long ago. “It would have been villified by the ultraliberal press, televis ion and radio. Some members of the Congress whose names auto matically become headlines would have leaped to their feet to join the tirade and called upon the conscience of America to strike this movement from our midst.” Sen Talmadge said he cannot understand how “professional agi tators” are permitted to stay on campus, nor how they “are im mune from prosecution.” “In fact,” he declared, “1 have wondered, as have millions of Americans, how collegiate law lessness has been allowed to come as far as it has.” PERSONAL Mr. and Mrs. Charles McMich !ael and children. Chuck and Bob ;bie Lynn, of Snellviile, spent the weekend at MICA, Jackson Lake cottage of Mr. and Mrs. Mike Allen.

[ Remembejj BY JOHN SHERRELL Beauty is where you are. The story is told of the man walking through a Scottish moor, exam ining flowers and blades of grass through his pocket lens. A shep herd, moved by curiosity, drew near and watched with interest. “Would you like to view' this moss cup through my lens?” the man inquired of the shepherd. He eagerly assented. He looked, his eyes filled with astonishment, and asked: “Can this be a moss eup?” Assured that it was, he looked again at the tiny flower through the lens. “Sir, I wish you had never shown this to me.” “Why?” the man asked in surprise. “Be cause,” was the reply, “I tread on thousands of them every day of my life.” Like the shepherd—so many people fail to see the beauty of life that surrounds us all. OUR THOUGHT TO REMEM BER: “Happiness can not be bought—it is earned!” SHERRELL FUNERAL HOME 212 COLLEGE ST. Kiwanians Saw Film On Apollo 10 Members of the Jackson Ki wanis Club Tuesday night saw a color film on Apollo 10 entitled “Green Light to Lunar Landing,” with Tom O’Dell as program chairman.
