Forum: The Public's Economic Program
(4 of 4)
Antioch has emerged from the turbulence of the past few years with its educational programs not only intact but strengthened. The work-study program, which affords the student a two-year advantage in employment upon graduation, is the strongest offered by any liberal arts college in the country. A current report ranks Antioch ninth in success in admittance of its graduates to medical schools. While our Yellow Springs campusalong with other private collegesis accommodating a lower enrollment than it had in the '60s, we are approaching the challenges of the '70s with confidence.
Chancellor Francis X. Shea is providing strong and affirmative leadership. I deplore the possible inference that he came for other reasons, and you are grossly in error for labeling him an apostate. He is a duly laicized Jesuit priest granted permission to marry by the Holy See. In his own words he remains a "believing and practicing Catholic."
James P. Dixon, President Antioch College Yellow Springs, Ohio
A similar article could have been written at any given point in our history. Antioch College is on the brink of nothing more than another era of progressive education.

Carbines v. Rifles
In reporting the death of David M. ("Carbine") Williams [Jan. 20], you said that he invented the M-l rifle. Your writer is doubtless too young to have ever carried either, but veterans of World War II and Korea know the difference between Williams' M-l carbine and John Garand's more powerful M-l rifle. One difference is about 4 Ibs. in weight, as any dogface will remember.
