Anderson Crowd Pleaser

NO PRAISE FOR WATERGATE |AS the final lecturer in the 1973-
74 Tri-College Series, Jack
Anderson spoke last Tuesday to
anf estimated crowd of 1,000.
Chairman of the Mercy hurst
Cultural Committee, Dario
Cipriani,/while pleased j with the
overall attendance of the crowd,
was disappointed in the ratio of
Mercyhurst students to members
of the J Erie community. He
estimated that about 15 per cent
of I the crowd were Mercyhurst
students. • i
"People are better off with no
government at all than a sup-
pressing J government."? Jack
Anderson borrowed these
thoughts of Thomas Jefferson to
make his i point on March 26th.
Anderson spoke to an Erie crowd
as the final speakers of the Tri-
College Cultural Series. fg
"In this country, the president
is a father figure, like royalty",
continued Anderson, "but we
must make thef president' ac-
countable to the people". I
Speakingjchiefly of Watergate
and of impeachment, Anderson
diagnosed that "the body, politics
has cancer. There is no way we
can praise Watergate, no way we
can make Nixon look good. " |
ANDERSON
1 Anderson referred | j his
audience, which would have to
have been described as captive,
to the nature of the constitution as
appliedr to the present. "The
constitution", said Anderson,
"was written not to protect Nixon
from us J but to protect us from
Nixon".
Speaking most harshly of Nixon
on his criticism of the press,
Anderson said that "controversy
is a vital element in democracy.
It is the function of the press to
give us an alternative to the of-
ficial versioa" 4 |&a| >g*K
Anderson expressed suprise at
the fact that Nixon would criticize
the * press. "'80 per cent of the
press has supported Nixon in two
elections,' jj Anderson said, M
The only choice the press has,
Anderson continued, is to give the
people critical stories or to shut
up. The news, he|said, doesn't
"belong to the government, or the
press, but the people." £
The 1972 Pulitzer Prize winner
observed that the findings of his
private polls,!conducted by the
famous Jimmy the Greekf in-
dicated that most Americans are
against impeachment. But| he
then indicated that the refusal to
seek out?Nixon's impeachment
must be considered as a refusal to
accept the facts. M | f
Facts "concluded by the Grand
Jury investigation have deter-
mined that Nixon is guilty of
obstructing justice. It is a crime
not to report a crime." | K §
In a presentation!that would
have been admired by any great
orator, Anderson asked "those of
you who will die for your coun-
try—will you live for it? Pearl
Harbor has been bombed again.
What are you going to do about
it?" 3S E |- gfiNB

EUROPE! JOBS BY SOS
Students interested in going to
Europe this spring land summer
can earn back most or all of their
trip cost by taking a summer job
in Europe. Paying jobs are
available in resorts, hotels,
restaurants and snack bars in
Switzerland, Austria, France,
Germany and Englandf A few
weeks on the job earn back the air
fare, a few more weeks work earn
ample money for traveling
around Europe -^especially S
travel is by bicycle. I
Standard wages are paid, but
the big saver is the free room and
board provided with each job and
arranged in advance by the
Student Overseas Services. SOS
