3 « WOMEN—THE INFERIOR SEX? In the United Fhates, women are the largest minority group.'. Why should thoy be? They outnumber the mon, rule the familiesy and control 3ome seventy per cent f the nations wealth. True, women are the weaker sex; but there is litate difference in the size of tbnir brains cr in their ability to thinko The two sexes are tbout euual in mental ability, and seme women er9 even superior. However, there are emotional differences between man and women, which thus creates men- tal differences. 3ohind every groat man there s a great women.. In November of 1963, we all bad a very good example of this» IIoK dy can deny that Jackie Kennedy faced the tragedy like a hero. American oion9er vonon shared hardships and dangers 'with their husbands h siitliuig the wilderness. They worked just as hard as the men. Their first winter in New LngiPkdd proved the females' endurance. Later- women were not al- lowed tc vote. The people be- lieved that vomon didn't have enough, good judetjanfc. r to vote properly. After many years of women suffrage, the females finally won the right to vote,. And I believe that they make just as good selections aa nwins.- Now, women do just about every line of work That men do and the career girls seem to'be doing good jobs. In the lest few years, it has been proven that women have the same size brains, and abort the some abilities. And don-k ibrgil, women are th9 mothers of men Rita Myott '66 k - -:?■ - MINCONCEPTIONS ABOUT WORLD AFFAIRS Most people, when they think of world sffair'3 such as Viet Nam, believe that it can be settled by merely liaui • dating the enemy. This is where they are wrong. There art- many internal affairs, arid much red tape that governments hove to go through in order to carry out the simplest of operations, There are also the people who livo in the country itself that have to be provided foi y like teaching Lh.rr 1jw to pro- vide for themselves - making it very herd to have any t.,pv of full scale war with bombs ar.d artillery„ It if esoeciai.- ly hard where th- enemy and tne all1 es lock exactu1 alike. 3o when you hear sc icon say.

VIE? NAM k. Ever since the year ox’ 1957 our ' toops of the United States Armed Forces have been losing their lives in the los- ing battle of communism. I read in the Reader1a Digest that if we exoect to win the war in Asia that we must quit just playing with the Vietna- mese and ?o in with I'ull force in order to overtake and con- trol the communist. Our objectives are to prevent collapse and catastro- phe in Viet Nam; yet at the same tine to win over domestic opposition, to Drove to our allies that we seek peace with honor, and to give Poking and Moscow no excuse to broaden the war. The United States has committed over 125.OCO troops, but still we have made no progress to cause com- munist to be haul ted in their fight against Democracy. The Vietconm, although hurt, have been winning, too, in the bot- tle of manpower. U.S, casual- ities are a fraction of those imposed unon the communists; but the South Vietnamese oas- ualties-plus desert.Lons-have been in many recent months of the war larger than those of the Allies. For the past two years Britain has maintained about 50,000 troops in Singapore, Malaysia snd North Borneo,with the main ourpose of guarding Malaysia against the bombastic threats of the Indonesian fel- low traveler; the Demagogue Sukarno has again made common cause with the Enemy. It is also said that block- ades are not only the way to win the War in Asia. Another v?ay is to make massive air attacks known as systematic bomoing. Right now we h8ve weakened a ieir of the rain spots,but it is known that we have overlooked a sea port and an oil station which can main- tain a great deal of trouble for the American troops fight- ing in the forests and jungles of the Asian Countries. An- other main problem of the sol- diers is that the Vietmanese make all kinds of boobytraps that will make a soldier un- eclo tc fight-causing another soldier to carry or aid him. In this way there are two stal- ed: out of battle; making the troops weaker. Truly it is a me3s which cannrt be corrected in a matter of days or months.
