y Apologies

To The Editor:
I must offer
my apologies for
Writing the letter which you published
in the Feb. 13 issue of the Kernel.
It seems my words precipitated a
communication from Mr. Walter
Flatt which must sure!) have
astounded others besides myself. In
a rather poor attempt to slam me
and perhaps cloud the issue at hand.
Mr. flatt dragged all sorts of irrelev-ancie- s
into his letter. How the conduct of the residents of Donovan Hall,
to which he referred reflects on the
character of the residents oi Kitten
Lodge, I fail to see.
My statements were admittedly
placed in the ped antic style of all

previous U tters concerning this matter and we re directed merely at refuting his statement the football players are' "gentlemen and scholars. Any
spelling errors in m '"elephantine"
words WCTC due to mistakes on the
part of my tpist a very slight oversight. As tor the football players'
conduct at the dinner table, I have
been witness to that on several occasions. However, I am quite willing
to hold an open mind on the matter
and graciously accept any invitation
I
might receive to have dinner in
Kitten Lodge. Alter any such invitation is fulfilled. I shall be most happy
to present a full report in writing to
the Ki rnel.

JFK Asks Congress For Youth Program

Editor's Note: This is the fust oi
two ariilc concerning President

Kennedy's Youth Program.
Ii The Colic giate Picss Service
WASHINGTON President K.
cly has present d to Congress this
year the most varied and comprehensive youth program in the history
Ct the United Slates.
The President s proposals range
from programs providing youth w ith
an opportunity to serve abroad in
the Peace Corps, increased federal
scholarship and. the creation of a domestic "National Service Corps' to
promotion of a committee for the
physical development of American
youth.
The President singled out the
problems of young people for priority
treatment in the W hite House legislative program this year. In his State
of the Union address before the new
Congress, the President mentioned
his youth program before all others,
saying "First we need to strengthen
our Nation by investing in our youth:
The future of any country which is
dependent on the will and wisdom
o! its citizens is damaged, and irre-

-

a-r-ic

parably damaged, whenever any of
its children is not educated to the
fullest extent ot his capacity from
grade school through graduate school.
"In addition, there is no reason
why one million young Americans,
out of school and out ol work, should

ate or the handicapped. As the idealism ot our youth has served world
peace, so can it serve the dome stic

tranquility.

well-bein-

Senator Humphrey cites rather
substantial figures in backing up his
proposal. Unemployment statistics ot
the Department of Labor show that
in November, 1902. tor example, total national unemployment incivMScd
from 5.5 to 5.9 percent of the- working
force, and that the addition ot some'
150.000 young ailults to the unemployment roles in that month brought
about the increase.

In fact, there were more than
800,000 young people out of work during the month ot November, a total
of all
almost
comprising
those unemployed in the United
States. And it has been estimated that
by 1070. three million new young
