Receives Grant
Dr. O. B Bailey, President of
Hill Junior College, has been
in formed by tile Department of
Health. Education, and Welfare
that Hill Junior College has
been awarded a grant in the
amount of $37,500 for the fiscal
year 1909-70.
Dr. Bailey said the money
would be used to strengthen the
curriculum in certain areas. In
addition to closed-circuit tele-
vision within the classrooms,
emphasis will be focused on the
library. Dur to flic lack of
space, the use of microfilm will
start playing a much larger
role. This will not only cut
down on the amount of space
needed but also on the expense
home for so long. He end all the ^ blndTng. to phStw and

best to do what they can to
protect the freedoms of the
world. There have been so many
protests and marches against
the Vietnam war. Everyone
should show pride in our boys,
in what they are doing, uphold
them, not protest what they are
doing or trying to do, not for
themselves alone, but for their
friends and families back home.
No, they don't like war, either,
and would like to be back home
and in school where it is safe,
but they arc doing their thing
by trying to protect the free-
doms that wc all enjoy each

poem tliis week from Vietnam
that so plainly expresses how
the men in Vietnam feel about
all tile things that are going
on in their home towns all over

MARCH ON, FOOLS
Here we arc, in a land torn
from years of war.
We’re helping them fight, know-
ing very well we could lose
our lives.
Wc light and work, for hours
on end, giving our best a
hand to lend.
But wc don't mind the trouble
and pain when wc see poor
people murdered and slain.
There’s a war to be won for
lreedom's sake: so we fight
the VC', the ones that wc
hate.
Has God given the right, or said
it's okay to go in the nigh'
and murder and slay, and
take from people their
homes and their land?
They're outnumbered alone: so
we’ve lent a hand
I read in the newspapers and
see in the news, protesters
marching and spreading
bad news.
March on you fools, march down
tlie streets: march around
the schools, march from
the Atlantic to the Pacific
coast.
Be my guest. I'll be your host,
But remember one thing while
protesting the war,
It’s a freedom you’re doing and
nothing more.
People are fighting and dying
and more, so you’ll have the
freedom to protest the war.
Vietnam is small. Oh this is
true.
But you silly fools, have you
] not gone to school?
| The resources are great, and
the people real.
We can’t stand by and let them
be killed.
If we didn't fight, this wouldn’t
be the last: another small
land and acre of grass —
and then one day, before
your eyes, we’d be alone
against the world wide.
We’d be defeated without a
doubt, then a world dic-
tatorship would come about,
j You wouldn’t march or protest
a thing: you wouldn’t pray,
or even sing.
So march, march on
Carry your sign and sing your
song
As long as others continue to
fight,
You can march all day and in-
to the night.
