In MemoriUm

The Viet Nam war is “right in
every sense of the word,”
columnist James J. Kilpatrick,
told a Mercer student audience
last week.
Kilpatrick, speaking in the
sixth lecture of the Insight
series in Willingham Chapel,
said he disagreed that it was an
“immoral war," and said it was
right morally, politically and
Strategically.
Kilpatrick, calling himself the
“token conservative" in
Mercer's Insight Series but
praising the university for the
series, addressed a few
remarks to the state of change
the nation is undergoing and
how Washington is coping with
this change. He then released
the floor for a lengthy in depth
question and answer period.
On President Nixon.
Kilpatrick said he felt the
President waa in good physical
condition and on “top of his
job."
Kilpatrick said be felt the
President was doing an ex
cellent job in the area of foreign
affairs and was conducting
excellently and with vast skill
the, “unwinding of a war which
be inherited.”
In the Middle East the
President has walked a tight
rope in balancing Israel and the
Middle East and has kept ef
fective control of the situation,
he added.
However, the President has
not done well in his domestic
policy. Kilpatrick pointed out,
and he let the conservative
faction down with his proposed
welfare plan. He also said he
felt the President was wrong in
extending the vote to lS-year-
oids in national elections.
Later during the questioning
Kilpatrick waa questioned on
the extension of the vote in the
youth. He replied that he felt it
was outside the realm of power
of the national government to do of
this and that it was a power
reserved to the states.
Nevertheless. Kilpatrick
pointed out that he felt the
President's revenue sharing
plan with the states and cities
was an excellent proposal.
However, “I don't expect it
will pass because it still has to
pass over the dead body of
Wilbur Mills, who happens to
in excellent health.”
He also said he felt the the
President's proposal for
massive governmental
reorganization was sound
