PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion SGA Stand Honorable But No Solution Reached Aftci a giuehng hour and 45 minute hassle, SGA a .xonibly made the onU honoiable pioposal left last night bv [)assmg a i(-solution to infoim the University Senate that the students are not opposed to the full 15 week semester but are opposed to the elimination of the three day Thanksgiving holiday. Despite the opinion expressed by Dr. Robert G. Bern iouter Wednesday that unless the students could propose a feasible solution the vacation would probably be elimin ated the Assembly limited itself to this policy resolution. An unwilling Dr. Benjamin A. Whisler weathered the arduous and often repetitious questioning and pointed out the disadvantages to each alternative solution pre sented by the assemblymen. Whisler said that the question to be determined by vote of the Uiuveisity Senate next week is not just the setting of dales for one fall semester's calendar but a policy on the most feasible way for the calendar to be set up each year. Whislor's committee will present to the Senate what it considers to be its mandate in view o£ the straw votes taken last month. That is proposal four. The Senate may vole to accept this change, or ask the committee to work on another solution and return next month. Or, it may vole down proposal four and bring other alternatives onto the floor or let the three-day vacation stand as last year. And the Senate will know the students’ desire that some solution be found without eliminating the vacation because the SGA resolution will be before them. Incon clusive as ds action may be the SGA has shown through an honoiable resolution that it can represent the students’ One fui liter idea was advanced by former Assembly man Howard Byers’ that the Assembly recommend that Senate make it a policy in such future cases not only to consider the students opinion but to seek it as expressed tluough SGA. This is the way SGA can develop the fullest responsi bility for representing the students’ view. A Student-Operated.

Beware ol what people say. Take a simple statement, “My prof is a good teacher.” Now what did the speaker mean? Without a moment of hestilation many would reply, “He means exactly what he said.” But did he? If the woids are said with a sneer, they mean just the oppo site; and if the prof under dis cussion is nearby, the statement may have been made only to flatter him. The meanings of woids are not absolute in themselves. Speakers might say one thing while plot ting another.

The cruelest blow to our trust ful innocence was the realiza tion that the ideals people talked about were in many cases not practiced and that sometimes these ideals were used to cover up real motives. We learned that, contrary to equality and brotheihood, there was racial, religious, social, eco nomic and ethnical discrimina tion, Of couise there were “logi cal” reasons why this was so. We learned that many people were given things they didn’t work for in schools, clubs, busi ness, and govei nment. We learned that there “is moie than one way to skm a cat" and that people could obtain rewards by bribery, flatteiy, fou-e, and knowing the right people.

Looking Back U.S. May Share Blame for Korea SEOUL, South Korea (/P) —The United States may have to shoulder part of the blame for South Korea’s revolution be cause it long ago failed to ensure correction of budding evils.. Much of the blame goes to Syngman Rhee himself. He lost touch with his people and was accused of giving the signal that led to rigging the March 15 elections to put Lee Ki-poong, Rhee’s hand-picked candidate, in as vice president. This was viewed here as an attempt to guarantee hts own successor From centuries of foreign dom ination by China or Japan the Ko rean people reaped a bitter har vest of hate, regimentation and poverty. This was poor nurture for the frail Korean democracy implanted in the 1940 s by the United States with backing of the United Nations. With the collapse of the Jap anese Empire at the end of World War 11, Rhee returned and founded the nation he had dreamed of only to have it di vided by the tension of the cold war. Under constant Communist pressure that finally erupted into war in 1950, Rhee developed as a strongman. His police became a hated, feared symbol of brutality. Nevertheless the United States poured in hundreds of millions of dollars to create an anti-Commu mst bastion. Rhee’s Liberal party went all llainous Word lo lell people things ihat were noi true, in order lo gel some thing you wanled. In fact, it seemed for a while lhal those who said one thing and did an other were very successful. So what are we to do? Well, we could dose our ears and not believe anyone or we could go right along trusting everyone— believing their rationalizations. But perhaps a better method would be to question and to make sure of people's motives before we decide for ourselves. And then perhaps we should take these tarnished words such as equality, brotherhood, justice and honesty; and, as has every generation, try with all our strength and knowledge lo put them into practice. Th? words we learned when we were young were taught to us so that we would have guides to what the world ought to ba like, even though they do not exactly describe the way the world really is. ...THE FAOJLT SECRETARY— By JAMES CARY out to win the March 15 elections. Rhee, at 85, was still the great liberator to his country, but his party’s successful efforts to elect Lee embittered the nation. Riots followed. "We had been taught in school how democracy was supposed to work," said one student, "and we knew it wasn’t working here." American missionaries and the U.S. government, its troop com manders and its diplomats, have been trying to teach Korea about democracy for years. They had plenty of warning that their mes sage wasn’t getintg through, at least not to Syngman Rhee. The United States did speak emphatically several times of its concern at Rhee’s authoritarian ism, and it probably used strong words behind closed doors. But these efforts were only slaps on the wrist compared to the pres sure needed for an adequate rem edy to counter stubborn old Syng man Rhee’s belief that he alone could save his nation. FRIDAY.
