University of Virginia Library

A segment of one of your
editorials of January 8, 1935 and
March 20, 1970 read as follows. "If
any student here feels the necessity
for military training, he may
transfer to VMI, VPI, or Maryland."

In other words, you are saying
"If you don't like things at Virginia
as they are, go elsewhere and leave
this school well enough alone."

Now that you have said it, and
in view of the fact that the majority
of the members of The Cavalier
Daily staff as well as some others
are trying to change this University
to satisfy their own desires and suit
their own ideals, may we suggest
that you practice what you preach
and move on to some higher ground
where "your" ideas are accepted,
and, instead of having to fight for
them, you may sit back and reap
your reward of instant happiness in
the land of emasculated butterflies.
