was a letter from the President in which he appar-
ently is taking credit for the increase. This «s
misl ading. The increase was passed by the Con-
gress over the opposition of the President.
Throughout 1972, the Administration tried to
limit a Social Security increase to five |>cr cent.
That would not have taken care of the increase
in the cost of living. In 3'£ years the cost of
l.ving went up 17'^ per cent, bu1 President Nixon
wanted to limit the increase in Social Security
to five p t cent. The cost of medical care has
gone up 21 fier cent since 1969
lAfHEN TEXANS RECEIVED their Social Secur-
w w ity check they should ihank the (' ngressmen
who voted for th • 20 |ier cent increase and who
were willing ;o fight for that increase over the
i!p|. ism in of the administration, in lading B -b I*ri e.
There are those who say that Nixon is following
a practic-* established by I “resident Johnson who
senl a le ter with Social Security cheeks in 1968
when lie.e was an increase in Social Security.
T e big differ n e. though, is :hat President .1 >hn
son waked f.»r the increase that was included
in the 1968 checks President Nixon opposed the
2(1 pT cent increase of 1972. yet is trying to take
t rodr for the increase granted despite his oppo-
sition!
ENROLLMENT AT WTSU is down 776 from last
C year. In 1969 a (teak of 7,935 students enrolled,
this year th - figure is 6,575. The reduced popula-
tion of the Panhandle no doubt has the largest
influence on the smaller number of students.
The number of parttime students has reduced
1U5 since 1969, while full time s!infer.i enrollment
nas reduced almost 1,M0.
The number ol students living on campus has
mi ased 12S since 1969 while the students living
elf campus in Canyon has redu.ed 446 anil those

The number -f men students is 932 fewet than
1969 and the number of women is 42S fewer.
Tie number c’ married students is 789 lewer,

Dear Editor
1 am very disappointed that you
haven't taken a stronger s'anj
Hr McGovern rather th.m just
being against Nixon. Goodness
knows we need to tx- against Nixon
liut then- are many reasons to
Im- for George McGovern. Here
are a tew of mine.
Commonweal magazine in en-
dotM'iiient ol Senator McGovern
said, ", . .We support Sena.or

If we each have out own little

s ,am of the whole i »i rupt system
It's divide ant rule — the oldest
oolite al -him known to man Spin
every 'ae up mt > a million dufgreat
groups and periodically throw each
one a bone. While we smugly
pat ourselves on the back lor
saving a couple of hundred dollars
each year, what do tin- tax loop-
holes mean to the- really wealthy?
The long-term capital gains tax-
profits from the sale of real estate
and stocks held six months or
more — Has a top rate of 25%.
Apireciated investments which are
transferred to heirs often pay no
lax at all. The annual cost to
the rest of us on this tax dodge
is *6 5 billion a year — $134 per
family.
The wealthy lake advantage of
tax-free municipal bonds at a cost
to other taxpayers of $2 billion
a year — $31 |>er family.
Our present tax system is not
fair to the average wage-earner.
In 1970 112 |K-rsons with incomes
over UN,Ml pai I Nn in miif :ax
at all. \ $3 billion oil company
with taxable income last year of
SI09 million paid NO income taxes.
Wh n are we going 11 realize that
if some other guy gits out of
paying hi- fair -hare of taxes,
YOt' \NI) I are gang to have
to make up the difference?
I'nder our tax system, the work
of money is entitled to a greater
reward than the work of in-ople.
People who w ork for a liv mg pay
more tax on equal earnings than
people who don't work. For exam-
ple. four people, each of whom
earned $7,(910, paid the following
tax: Bob - Annual Earnings of
$7.(991; Sources of Earnings, Wages

ings. $7,199). Source of Earnings,
Municipal bonds; Tax Paid, None.
Senator McGovern says, "Money
made by money should be taxed
at :he same rates as money made
by men -’
Senator McGovern has the cour-
age to say we need tax reform
and has a program for a fair
tax system. Naturally, there are
screams from those who want to
keep their bones but I say it
is time the \mert.an people look-
ed around to see who is getting
the biggest part of the liec:!
Senator McGovern was the first
I'nited States Senator to s-peak
out again'! the \merican military
involvement In Vie r im. He said
on September 24. 1963, . .
. . It is in the national interest
to withdraw from Vietnam " On
October 9. 1968 Nixon said, "Those
who have had a chance for four
years and could n >t produce peace,

peace" may be in the same cate-
gory as his ''secret plan to end

It is time for our government
to tell the full truth about the
war in Vietnam. We have had
enough of "secret plans" anil "se-
cret negotiations." We have been
deceived ,ind li- d to long enough.
In the New York Review of Ho iks
Oc' iber 5. 1972. llt-nry Steele Gom-

Ihe United States in a stronger
position in terms of overall secur-
ity. It appears to me that Nixon
ought to be explaining why he
wants to waste $33 billion of our
money.
one example of he spending
of the Pentagon which recently
came to light was the $850.199i
of our money which was used
to finance an experiment at the
University of Cincinnati by Dr.
Eugene Saenger whi used termi-
nal etincer patients (most were
ihnrity cases wrh below average
education) to experiment with radi-
ation. Acctirding to Senator Mike
Gravel in an article in the Nat-
i rn.tl Enquirer dated October 22,
1972. "T ie patients have been ex-
posed to massive doses of cobalt
radiation, with the exposure lasting
anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes.
That m issive a dose would leave
a heal hy man with only a 50-
50 chance ■ f surviving.” He fur-
ther suij that the Pentagon h i|x-d
the ex|K-rimen s w -uld "help dis-
covi r how soldiers on the battle-
field would react to radiation from
a nuclear attack.” He added, "Dr.
Saenger claims the ex|n-riemi-nts
tire aimed at finding a now method
for treating earner. However, the
guinea pigs are dving fas'er from
the radiation than they would have
from th ir cancers,”
McGovern has the courage to
speak (-ut against the wasteful
(no1 to mention immoral) spending
'if Ihe Pentagon It is time the
\mencan i-e-ix- began to questioi
where billions of our tax dollars
are really going that are sup|x-s-
ed to be going for the defense
of aur natim.
I am for Ge irge McGovern be-
cause he is a man of int verity,
intelligen t* tin I vision. He has
■he courage to s|x-ak out for what
is tight even though it might l>e
unpopular. He is not a 'tint. He
has mad- mis ikes. But he is
far and away the best man run-
ning for Ihesident of the Unit-
ed States.
We U't*d to live in \marillo
where I was editor for a time
<:f a newsletter |-ut out by the
Young Democrats. There are many
tn 're ;is|k- s of this campaign
that I left out in the interest
of l-revity — ihe Watergate cap -r
(whi.h we art- to hear about after
the election from Mar ha M t t-
chell — "after the election" —
(l.i. sn't that have a ring of famil-
iarity to it'.’) the Bus-ian wheat
deal, and the $2.55.000 bribe of
Mid-America Dairymen to the Nix-
on campaign tuml to bm-' the
price of raw milk by 6% (which
is outlined in detail in Who Runs
Congress by Green, Fallows &
Zwick.) Have the (teople of this
country erne to such a sorry
state that they wall accept this
outrageous dishonesty as just "the
w av he system works?" I HOPE
NOT!
You are angry at the stupid
Democrats?
\re we stupid because we ( hose
the best man for 'he i vb of Pre-
sident'' — \n individual whose
honesty is beyond question — a
man wh- S|M'aks out for what
is bes' for the entire country.
\re we stupid lx--au.se we believe
'he \men an people can distinc-
it i s h Nix n fiction from actual
tact?
\re we stupid because we have
made a tew mistakes? (We are
beginning t - wonder how many
vv e r e really mistakes and how
many were sabotage of the Com-
mittee to Re-elect the President).

A cornerstone laying program
is scheduled at the new sanctuary
of First Presbyterian Church Sun-
day, Oct. 22, beginning with regu-
lar Sunday service at 10:30 a.m.
in the present sanctuary.
After trie worship hour, a cover-
ed dish luncheon will be served
in the basement to be followed
by the cornerstone laying cere-
mony in which all members may
have a part. Before the large
stone is set, each member and
friend is asked to put his small
stane in the wall. Rocks have
been painted with dates of years
by the celebration committee and
each person is asked to throw
in one with the dale he joined
the ehurc.1. If a member cannot
be present he may have someone
else put in his small stone. These
stones will be ready to be picked
up Sunday morning.
Oldtimers of the church will par-
ticipate in the day’s program. Fri-
ends of ihe church are invited
to attend.
Groundbreaking for the new
sanctuary which is making rapid
progress was on June 25. Cost
of Ihe new facilities, including re-
built pi|>e organ and furnishings,
is approximately $200.(991. John W.
Ward, Jr. of Amarillo is architect
and Floyd W. RicaardB, Inc. of
Amarillo, general contractor.
Comprising 6.9(9) square feet of
fliKir space, the structure will in-
clude also a kitchen and additi inal
storage space. The new sanctuary,
seating 180 persons, is sha|K-d so
that worshijiers may be cl ser
to the focal |x>ints of worship.
The choir will be seated within
the congregation. The chancel area
will have a pulpit, the Lord’s
table and baptismal font.
Laying of the cornerstone will
serve t incorporate all three build-
ings of the church, present sanc-
tuary, educational building built
in 1958 and Lie new sanctuary,
said Rev. Murray Travis, pastor.
