"Pass the salt, please," I said. The meatloaf and potatoes needed salt, and my date wanted salt. "Were you invited," the alluring dame across the cafe- teria table inquired. "Of course," I replied casually. The maitre d' with the "Nixon's the One" button who had escorted us to our candle- lit corner had believed us when we told him we were guests of a friend. "Well then, you can have the salt," she smiled sweetly. It was that kind of atmosphere. Although the President- elect had spurned an invitation to the banquet because of a "previous commitment," it was obvious from the decor that the President-elect had been expected. There were festive orange balloons on the ceiling ready to drop on a moments notice; there were exotic professors' wives in saris and bath- robes; there was an obsequious waiter waiting with towel on arm and purple tennis shoes on feet to cater to our whims; there was abundance of milk and water, bread and pain de viande au jus (meatloaf). We sat chewing just as if he were among us. We ate heartily, partaking with equal delight of our wax beans and dill pickles. But before we were into our red, white and blue frosted patriotic cake, the speeches began. Master of ceremonies and a resident adviser of the col- lege, Jim Lang explained his responsibility for the affair is rooted in the tradition that his aunt had actually attended the 1841 inauguration of William Henry Harrison.

Thurmond's view of the Soviet Union as author and prime mover behind a program for world corn- imunization leads naturally to- sward military-oriented policies, ,such as establishment of the anti- .ballistic missile system, and de- Jay of the nuclear arms limitation treaty, which Thurmond supports.
