By Al Reid Editor-In-Chief The revealing of the late president J ohn F. Kennedy recording of about 600 of his White House meetings and telephone conversations during the last 16 months of his presidency has raised questions among many U.S. citizens. Although it has been known for several years that Kennedy recorded some meetings and phone con­ versations during his days as president it is now being debated whether the tapes in full should be made available to the public. The tapes should make available to the general public despite the arguments that the late president's family might be on some of conversions, or highly classified meetings of the National Security Council on such subjects as the Cuban missile crisis and Vietnam. Some of those recordings also included discussion on the integration of the University of Mississippi in 1962, it would “SIR, WöÜLP NÖU MÍHP WfARÎMG ÊARPHOMES AÑI> LcWRÎMÛ THE VOLOME.“ be especially interesting to learn Kennedy’s real feelings about the Civil Rights Movement and some of its leaders of that day.

His admirers and his adversaries don’t agree on much, but they will get together on the idea that Ronald Reagan is a man of deep political conviction, our most ideological president in recent times. Last week, in an exclusive half-hour interview to be aired soon on public television. I had the opportunity to explore some ideological byways with President Reagan to talk about his view of recent history and his view of the world. I found him an articulate and strong-minded man with certain views that some would see as unconventional - and others would see as revisionist or outrageous. Consider the way he sees his own formative political years . We know Ronald Reagan thinks that the federal government has gone too far, but. surprisingly, the scripture he cites is Franklin Roosevelt! Reagan said: “I have known his (Roosevelt’s) sons for years. I know their own conversations about what he believed. I think he always thought the things that were services budget, go up. not being done (during the the modified welfare state will Certainly, he says, there is seems to me. is directional, have been capped but Depression ) were in the nature down: isn’t he. then, really one - only “I didn’t announce not specific.

BvAlReH Panther Sports Editor Since arriving at Clark College three years ago, I have noticed a missing element from the athletic teams, that a good team must always have, that being a killer, instinct. The recent contest piting Clark against Morehouse at the Omni issustrated this point once again. This season the Panthers were viewed by many as the team to roll over everyone in S.I.A.C. because of their returning team. That observation would have seemed to be true considering the likes of Elder Mincey, Harvey Giddens, Carlton Boston and Leroy Snype were to be on the Clark Benches. After building a 15 point advantage over Morehouse in the first half, the Panthers rolled over and played dead in final stanza as the Tigers edged Clark 70-68. Not that lo sing to Morehouse was the end of the World but it was the manner in which it was done. Clark’s lead was shot down thanks to poor defense, lack of of­ fensive imagination, and untimely substitutions. First, when the contest got down to the critical moments, the Panthers failed topost 6'5” Harvey Giddens down low on Morehouse’s Adam Troy who is only 6’ 1 ”. Second, the Panthers inability to get the ball to the squad’s leading scorer Elder Mincey in Clark’s final three shots at overtime was simply unheard of. Third, the teams inability to pound the Tigers faces in the floor of the Omni after having such large lead was unexcuseable. The Panthers have often played inspired lackluster basketball incontest in which they have gained huge leads. The coaching strategy has seemed to disappear, aggression on offense goes up in smoke, the defensive unit begins to allow anyone the chance toscore, and sockness takes over in the minds of some of the players. Although the Panthers 12-2 record leads the conference there are a couple of things that the coach might employ to gain a much needed killer instinct. First, added a trapping defense so that the team might have some type of incentive to play harder when they are in the lead. Second, the continuing to push the ball up the floor instead of walking it down. This could cause the players to cut mere on offense while increasing the execution because of greater player involvement. Third, Coach Pritchett should take a mere active role in the games in regards to developing better Xs and O’s on the chalkboard. Since the S1AC tournament only two weeks away the Panthers must get their machine going in full gear before an unexpected derailing occurs. Then the season that was to be the one ends up just another disappointment in the minds of Clark fans. Panthers Townsend (42) found scoring hard against Morehouse. (Photo by Al Reid).
