Show Liberal Professors And Subversion that these alternatives are not the Marines, nor a character assassintation. Sherman G. (Buzz) Lloyd Graduate Student Political Science Dept. Dear Editor: The issue that faces the United States from abroad was reduced by McCarthyism to simple terms reminiscent of the familiar military attack. What faces the United States, according to McCarthyism and Corydon Hammond, is not a complex three-pronged challengemilitary, chal-lengemilitary, political, ideologicalwhich ideo-logicalwhich must be met by complex and different, but coordinated co-ordinated responses and to which there is no simple clear cut response promising total victory.

AND WHEN there is no more McCarthyism and John Birch Society left, this group of professional pro-fessional saohearts will be about as useful as the last note Played in the 1901 fiddlers' contest.- If these people must con-tune, con-tune, let them continue with constructive ideas and alternatives alterna-tives to the present problems of government.
