Hooray, Dixie

Dear Sir:

In all due respect to Mr.
Williams it seems he used grossly
ambiguous arguments against the
playing of Dixie at school
functions. He comments on the
meaning of Dixie as if it were a
song proclaiming human bondage
and disloyalty to the United States.

Mr. Williams, evidently from up
North somewhere, should take into
account that the singing of Dixie
and the waving of Confederate flags
is done solely in tradition and is
meant to express sentiment for
Virginia and the South as it exists
today.

Certainly this song brings far less
danger to our "academic
community" than the perversion
that accompanies the Panther
movement.

(SING IT LOUD!)
