Thurmond Lists Nation's 'Paramount Issues'
By SUE ANNE SALMON

Kernel Staff Writer
"There's so little poverty in
South Carolina, it's hardly worth
mentioning," U.S. Sen. Strom
Thurmond
told an audience Tuesday night in the Student Center.
(R-S.C- .)

Three-Phas- e

Solution Set
For Parking

"You have to have access
facilities (streets) in order for
parking structures to function
properly," said Dr. John VV.
Hutchinson, piofessor of civil engineering and member of the
President's Committee on Parking and Traffic.
Dr. Hutchinson andCol.F.G.
Dempsey, chief of Safety and
Security, spoke Tuesday night
at the Sigma Phi Epsilon Discussion Series on parking and
traffic problems on campus.
According to Dr. Hutchinson and Col. Dempsey, the two
parking structures which are now
under construction will not solve
major parking problems on campus, but will help mitigate the
present parking space shortage.
The structure under construction near Cooper Drive has only
one entrance and one exit bestreets encause of
compassing the University. Lack
of proper access facilities will
inhibit the proper functioning
of the new parking structure, Dr.
Hutchinson implied.
Safety and Security director
Dempsey said that in order to
eliminate some of the present
parking problems in the core of
campus, new spaces are being
provided In areas comparatively
remote from the central campus.
The overall parking plan, in
fact, falls into three phases. The
first moves commuting students
to the Cooper Drive parking lot;
the second phase moves staff
members to more remote parking
lots, and the third phase will
remove faculty parking from the
main campus also. The transit
system would also be revamped.
According to Col. Dempsey,
the plan should take full effect
within the next five years.
over-crowd-

Several people in the audience reacted to his statement
with groans of disagreement.
During a question and answer period following the senator's reading of an hour-lonprepared speech on the "paramount
issues" facing the United States,
a student mentioned recently reported hunger conditions among
the people in several counties
'
in South Carolina.
Before the student could ask
his question, Thurmond interrupted with his own explanation of the situation.
"If you go into any county
in the United States you'll find
some problems. Some
reporter went down there and
wrote-abothe conditions," he
said.
When another student asked
the senator about U.S. Sen. Ernest F. Hollings'
reports
of widespread disease and malnutrition in South Carolina,
Thurmond answered:
"How could he (Sen. Hollings) tell if those people had
worms. He's not a doctor."
The Select Senate Committee
on Nutrition and Human Needs,
headed by Sen. George S.
has been seeking the cause and cure of hunger
through investigations in South
Carolina and other states.
Thurmond stressed the teaching of sanitation and health as
"a way to help the poor."
"Where they (the poor) go
barefooted, they get worms and
those worms take years to get
out," Thurmond explained in a
heavy Southern drawl.
He discounted any need for
welfare programs except"thedis-able-d
when the state or community won't take care of them."
During his speech Thurmond
noted five "paramount issues"
facing the country electoral college reform, the Panama Canal,
the nuclear
treaty, the Vietnam war and the
missile (ABM) system. He said of each:
"The electoral college acts
as a buffer between the federal
government and the people."
Thunnond said he favored a
"proportional system" of reform
which he said would "split the
electoral vote the same as the
popular vote."
Whether to modernize the
Panama Canal or build a sea

level waterway" is
issue, he said. "We

the next few days," Thunnond
said.
"The Vietnam war is not a
war between the north and the
south; it's a war between the
Communists and the free world,"
Thurmond declared.
As a solution to the war, he
advised, "We could do just like
we did in Germany(during World
War II). We could give notice we
were going to bomb the country
so the civilians could move out."
He advocated the resumption
of bombing North Vietnam since
"the Reds have got to be taught
a lesson that when they begin a
war they will be punished. If
South Vietnam goes down the
drain, the hope of Southeast Asia
goes down the drain.
"Before you know it the Communists will be upon thebeaches

On The State Of Affairs In Cuba
David Prince, "a revolutionary socialist," will speak at 7:30
p.m. Thursday in the Student
Center Theatre on the current
state of affairs in Cuba.
Prince, a member of the Young
Socialist Alliance (YSA), was one

States invited by the Cuban government to help celebrate the 10th
anniversary of the Castro revolution.
The Oberlin College graduate
spent a month in Cuba as the

touring the country and talking
with the people.
A veteran of other socialist
and antiwar movements, Prince
helped found the Oberlin Fair
Play for Cuba Committee and is

currently touring colleges and
high schools making speeches

and students will attend the meeting to "refute" Prince's "distorted" views with statistics.
Madrigal said that during a
speech Prince gave at Ohio State
University his "praise" of Castro's regime provoked a Cuban
exile, who had been imprisoned
by Castro, to physically attack
him.

Focus
The speakers confirmed so far for this year's Focus program are
not nearly so glamorous as were those lined up for last year's, but
the symposium nevertheless should be stimulating and worthwhile.
Focus 1969 will center on the issue of social morality, a very germane issue in these days when fundamental questions are being raised
about what our society is doing and where it is headed. It is time
that the University of Kentucky also addressed this question, and the
speakers scheduled by the Focus committee should be able to handle
the order quite adequately.
William Kunstler, an outstanding Yale law school graduate who has
turned his energy into the field of civil liberties, certainly promises
to have much to add to the program. His clients have ranged from
Jack Ruby to Jerry Rubin and from H. Rap Brown to Adam Clayton
Powell. Currently active in constitutional challenges aimed at the
draft, Kunstler has handled the cases of draft resisters Muhammad Ali
and Mike Fallahay, a UK student.
A view of social morality with a somewhat different emphasis will
be provided by Anson Mount, Playboy magazine's public affairs manager. Mount has spoken frequently on Hugh Hefner's widely discussed
"Playboy philosophy" and is writing a book dealing with the issues
involved.
The other two speakers, T. George Harris, a former Look senior
editor and managing editor of Careen Today, and John Sigenthaler,
editor of The Nashville Tennesseean, both have spoken well to contemporary issues also.

More Hearings
To the Editor of the Kernel:
On March sixth, the College of Arts

Student Center Theater entitled Climate
For Learning. This committee hearing
had received wide publicity prior to it's
meeting, with emphasis being placed on
student participation. I certainly hope
for this hearing was
that the tum-onot representative of the attitude of students on this campus, i.e., apathetic,
which by the way, was suggested by one
of the participants. The contemporary
student is crying for a voice in his educational system; the chance is being
offered, let's hope that we will take
advantage of it more fully in the future.
For those who were unable to attend,

Clearly, then, the war on youth is

chance that the battle lines are much
deeper than that. The McClellan committee is now in the process of investigating various programs and organizations (among them Louisville's Southern

House
Activities Committee has just changed its name to avoid
controversy and bad publicity. The clear
implication is that a time of political

harassment is brewing in this country
which will probably rival and perhaps
surpass the McCarthy circus of the early
50's.

For there is no doubt that what the
various kinds of activities now in progress represent-stud- ent
protest, black
militancy, poor white organization, farm
unionization is the formation of a meaningful left in American politics, a part
of the political scene which has not been
present since the 30s. If this political
Left is to mean anything, it must withstand the coming attempts to crush it.
And if these attempts can be withstood,
then the forces for change in this country can perhaps grow into a movement
which will make this a decent society
for everyone. At any rate, it is clear that
the crisis is here, or is Just below the surface of the national political scene. The
way in which we can deal with it will
indicate, one suspects, what the future
of this nation will be.
