A STUDENT OPINION:
Prejudice
Weakens Us
Although common sense
tells us that it is wrong,
there is a great deal of pre
judice in this country. The
most noticeable prejudice
which Americans have tow
ard other Americans is ra
cial, but other forms of pre
judice, such as religious and
political prejudice exist al
so. In recent years, religious
prejudice has decreased un
til, as far as I know, it is
almost negligible today. Po
litical prejudice on the other
hand, has exploded into a
vast, iceberg-like problem
which affects almost every
one, with the news media
aiding in shaping doctrines
and beliefs.
These two mountains of
prejudice constitute a great
weakness in national securi
ty. It would be a simple mat
ter for any hostile power to
feed us propaganda, to cre
ate malicious feelings be
tween these factions. This,
along with prejudiced news
medias printing distorted
views, might be enough to
start an internal war, weak
ening this nation to the point
where a military takeover by
a foreign power could be af
fected. Hence, in order to
prevent the possible destruc
tion of the United States by
a hostile power, it is the
most urgent duly of each in
dividual to help tear down
and level off mountains of
prejudice which are grow
ing. Each individual must re
spect the opinions of others,
even refuse to discriminate
against those who are not
like oneself, if these moun
tains are to be eroded.
Where to begin? Within
one's own community, for in
dividuals must change each
- small section of society.
I which can. in turn, convert a
larger portion of society un
til all people are reached.
Everyone needs to begin to
shovel down the mountains
at his home, his church, and
his business or school. Only
in this way will we be able
to form a united front
against those who would de
stroy our freedom.

Dear Folks ....
From Class of '7O
Well. I guess it's time to
say something that has need
ed to be said by someone
for a long time.
For some 18 odd years you
have fed me. clothed me.
and kept a roof over my
head. What I have given in
return is disobedience, back
talk. and some lies; but 1
want you to know, as I pre
pare to step out on my own,
that if it had not been for
the whippings, the lectures,
and the restrictions that I
wouldn't be making this step
with faith and courage.
All I am 1 owe to you: and
in all my future accomplish
ments 1 will remember that
part belongs to you because
you built the man 1 am to
be. I will also remember that
I must accept defeat with
grace because 1 am your son
and you have taught me that
one cannot have victory all
his life.
So, my Parents, I hope
that I can be something you
will be proud of. You are
the world to me.
Your loving son,
