TO PHILIP CATO I wish I knew youj Mr. Gate;

after your last letter, I don't know when you are "being straight. I shall assume that your last ver- sion was the straight one, hov^ever and reply with a qualified touche1 You caught me being sarcastic, al- though I would question the amount of bitterness involvee in my com- ment . I just thought that you were a bit too critical of "Student CT" by accusing her of ignorance on the basis of one viewpoint.

Your conclusion that bitterness breeds bitterness is quite valid, however. I think some of the fool- ish bickering on our campus and in our newspapers (in which I have become one of the prime offenders) is indicative of this. Unfortunat- ely, a bitter attack does not mer- ely provoke a correspondingly bit- ter reaction. The reaction does not merely propagate the bitter- ness? it escalates it.

When our entities or beliefs are attacked, we justifiably feel threatened. Human nature forces us to react to this threat with a curious kind of one-upsmanship. If you call me a bastard, I'll call you a bastard and a liar in reply. You will react by calling me a bastard, a liar, and a thief. By this point, we are merely reac- ting to each other's reactions, and escalating the reactions ana escalating the bitterness. And, although we are eventually saying things that neither of us believes, it is too late for either of us to retreat. We are trembling with rage, unable to admit that the wh- ole episode is senseless and un- thinking ,

I suppose Jesus had this kind of situation in mind when he ad- monished (perhaps implored?) his followers to "turn the other che- ek." Common sense love should be a way of life for the human race. If it is not, the human race may destroy itself, for hate consumes the hater as much as the hated. Think of thj last time YOU felt a genuine gut-deep hat,.? it was nea- rly impossible to live with, was- n't it?

You and I know the effects of bitterness. They are graphically illustrated all around us. Love and UNDSPSTANPINU Could effect a reversal of these grievously self— destructive effects. But, of cou- rse, we may never know.

NEW YORK (LNS)—Spring is almost upon us, and there is something w all can do at this time of the year that takes very little effor and can yield enormous results. Those who smoke grass have a res- ponsibility to the community to plant'the seeds that come with th grass.

I have done this for two years now, and have been very favorably impressed with the quality of gr- ass that growt. in the U.S., and the ability of the plant to grow under a wide variety of condition with no care.

The earth belongs to the peopH and grass can be planted in vacan lotsT roadsides, parks, behind factories, under bridges, along the river, or, in short, any plac; where tall weeds can grow unmol- ested and there is plenty of sun- shine. It takes only about one minute to pull up a clump of weeds shake off the dirt from the roots, scatter # dozen seeds, throw some dirt over them and split for ano- ther spot. Hundreds, of such pat- ches can be planted in one spring afternoon, and if you return in the Pall after the first hard frost, you will find that at leasi half of these Sxeots will have grassplants growing, anywhere from o" to 6.' in height. If you miss a few? the plant is likely to in- crease its numbers the following year. Imagine what will happen

It takes only about one minute to pull up a clump of wee dr. shake off the dirt from the roots, scatter i dozen seeds, throw some dirt over theM and split for ano- ther spot. Hundreds, of such pat- ches can be planted in one spring afternoon, and if you return in the Pall after the first hard frost, you will find that at leasi half of these spots will have grassplants growing, anywhere from 6" to 6.' in height.

Lemonade, you dirty Tuesday man, go to hell and don.' t come back unless you have your pants down.

So he climbed the tree with his pencil in his left hand| the kaleidoscope reflected the glory.

Red Baron, Invincible, No opener needed, rainbow peacock

feathers, Gabriel's horn. Ebbtide. Reline those brakes, strawberries

over the hill, your dog needs spanking.

Tic...Toe, the mouse comes down the clock-back gutters.

His pencil wouldn't fit in his right hand; he'll never see Tuesday again.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall; Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.

Recent news releases tell us that Radford College shares a prob- lem v/ith us. Students have demon- strated, faculty members have re- signed and the National Education Association has sent an investigat- or to studjr the administration's actions. All this has come about due to the mere threat of dismiss- ing professors from their jobs coupled with the withholding of annual faculty raises.

Some of the Radford professors have threatened to file suit (as one has already done), alleging that the administration has violat- ed their civil rights. This is in marked contrast to other professors who, according to the NEA investi- gator, are afraid even to speak frankly concerning the situation. The professors who have filed suit and those who will, however, could establish an important judicial precedent.

what is at issue on the campus and in the courtroom all over this country is the entire tenure sys- tem. The continued abuse of the college administration's status as an extra-legal institution through the capricious and arbitrary dis- missal of non-tenured professors will at last be tested in the courts. It is an unhappy situation that those professors that the stu- dents feel can best teach them are precisely the ones that are unacc- eptable to the administrations.

The situation at Radford will have a telling outcome. For, ulti- mately, the courts, not the demon- strations, will make the final decision. _

SEOUL, South Korea (INS)—South Korea's military dictatorship and its American backers are engaged in a desperate search for the source of Sunrays.

Sunrays—Haetbal in Korean—is the title of an underground pam-• phlet published secretly somehow, somewhere in Seoul. Sunrays makes a strong attack on the U.S. occu- pation of South Korea, and speaks favorably of Kim II Sung, the le- ader of the People's Democratic Republic of Korea (North Korea).

The pamphlet, printed in a rev- olutionary hide-out in Seoiil, the South Korean capital, has been widely distributed by mail in re- cent months, according to a report by the Korean Central News Agency,

Hi'. Kris Russell—I am_glad your letter came out when it did. I was just going to write about the D- Hall, too. But, your comments are of more importance or are more re- levant to all of the students here than mine are. I work behind the line in the D-Hall and I whole- heartedly agree with what you said- I have to apologize to you though— the hair on your cake could have• been mine. I am more careful now, though.

As I said, I agree with you, but I also want to ask the students to do the waitresses a favor. Don't take out 3rour grievances against the D-Hall on us. We don't cook the food, and we aren't often even proud to serve it. So please don't, punish us by leaving upside down sugar containers and upside down cups of water on the tables—they are one hell of a mess to clean up. Run back and throw the mess at the dietician if you want—but not one of the nice ones. Just don't pur- posely put crap all over the tables for us to clean up. Thanks—from both me and my sparkling white uni- f orm.
