PAGE THREE University of Southern California page four "r.:;;::;”'- j ]jy ©TROJAN ucu ”c" In Game Makeup Vo! LV LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 26,1963 NO. 45 CAMPUS MOURNS PRESIDENT’ HEATH ^ The World's Loss The United States lost a great president Friday, and while entering a period of national mourning, his people also entered a period of national disgrace. John F. Kennedy had dedicated himself to help procure and conserve equality and justice for his fellow men. and in so doing he was engulfed by the injustice he had hoped to eradicate. Somewhere in our own dedication to these principles we failed, for in permitting injustices to exist, for permitting men to build hatreds for others who they believe enjoy preferential treatment, we have spawned an assassin who was able to sap the precious life from the man who had become the world’s social champion. In one devastating blow, a killer we permitted to develop and to remain loose among us was able to strike at the two things to which we should be most dedicated — life and justice. And as we failed in our responsibility, not only did we contribute to the circumstances that led to a horrifying loss to our nation, we also permitted the circumstances that have caused the entire world to lose the man who had championed justice for everyone. A time has come for us to rededicate ourselves to the principles that our late President had felt were so important and had worked so hard for. Even though there may be many who do not believe the plans he maintained for achieving his goals were the best, and though many may have criticized and opposed his actions, none of us can decry his goals. We urge that everyone rededicate himself to the goals of equality and justice that have long been part of the great ideals of our country so that the efforts expended by President Kennedy throughout his life will not be wasted and so that the accomplishments of this great man will not be lost. —D.S. & H.M.
