Until ‘his death, perhaps, he was primarily a sports personality, a man who ‘had made football his life’s work, But, iin that arena of strenuous en- deaver ‘he became a legend, symboi- izing seme of the highest attributes associated with success, and leader- ship. ‘His personal success, his wins and losses, are a matter of record. But the real man which was Vince Lombardi is the total package of characteristics which made possible the wins. Lombardi believed, first, in dedica- tion — ‘dedication to whatever task or whatever goal he ‘had put his hand. He was a man who chose his causes and rooted himself in them with a tenacy which was unshakable. ‘He placed only his religion and his If You Would Write - - Would you like to write to your state or federal representatives in Har- risburg or Washington?

He is quoted as saying once, “Any man’s finest hour is when he is working his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of bat- tle, victorious.’ ” And, that is the way he lived his own life. But, with this dedication was a man of principle who knew that suc- cess comes only with discipline. Lom- bardi not only disciplined himself, he disciplined his football teams with a strong hand. “Freedom,” he said, “is confused with license and license be- comes anarchy. That's exactly what's happening.” And, added, “Before you can do what you want to do, you have to accept duty.” Whether or not he thought he was a hero, whether or not he wanted to accept the fact that he became a hero, he did become one—in 37 short years. He lamented the fact that there has been in our nation—and around the world—a lack of respect for au- thority and a turn toward an individ- ual freedom which ignores disciplined responsibility. Lombardi was a giant of a man. It would be a prayful plea to hope that this country ceuld in some way raise up hundreds of Lombardis to as- sume the leadership of this society. Lombardi saw no difference in the color of a player's skin. He was not adverse to having a man excell, but he placed selflessness even higher. He was interested in group success. Would that we could have such deeply dedicated leadership — such . successful leadership — in a dozen critical areas. Would that we could find Lombar- dis who could, like him, take sagging faltering, losing teams and causes, and with strong, viral, dedicated, and responsible and dynamic leadership pick them up to success. Every town, every state and every nation needs men like Lombardi to place their hands upon stumb- ling causes and give them new wm life, new meaning and victory.

Yet Ameri- cans with savings in banks and in life insurance were robbed of 60 billion dollars last year because of inflation —60 billion dollars which does no cone any good, which can never provide capital for new business and new jobs, 60 billion which can never assure independence for ‘the old people who saved it, 60 billion which can never build homes for young people, nor gifts to schools and hospitals —60 evaporated Billions. Who's to blame? ernments, federal and local, who spend more than they take in: all agencies who waste your money on boon- doggling and vote-getting; all bureaus more interested in saving their jobs than in sav- ing this country’s solvency. And every American who wants more than he is will ing to produce and pay for. Instead of writing your government to give you some- thing, write them to save it. —Warner & Swasey Adv. POINT WELL TAKEN The president of San Fran- cisco State College, Dr. S. 1. Hayakawa, offers criticism of television programming that deserves most serious thought. “The other day’, says Dr. Hayakawa, “I saw, to my great horror, that Stokely Carmichael was given an hour interview on one of the net- works. They had to go to Al- giers to pick him up and in- terview him, when there are distinguished people like An- drew Brimmer, the first Neg- ro to serve as a governor of the Federl Reserve Board — who in any one week are do- All gov- | saying --- ing more for the advance- ment of not only the Negro cause but the advancement of all of us in general, than Stokely Carmichael will ever do in his lifetime . . In a similar way, 1 keep thinking of all the conscien- tious and wonderful students who have kept out of troub- le, who go to classes, who— when the uproar is going on —are in the library research- ing Elizabethan literature, or doing chemistry experiments, or something, and they don’t get on the networks.” San Francisco State’s out- spoken president makes a point that is well taken.
