ANTI-McDANIEL
Editor:
It would certainly seem that the FBI is wasting their time looking for the assassin of Dr. King in Georgia or Alabama. With twenty thousand "conspirators" here on campus, surely one would break down and confess who the murderer is.
And it seem that Miss McDaniel doesn't have the real interests of the BYU faculty at heart. If we are all conspirators then we would surely be arrested and there would be no more students on the campus. Of course the Church might donate the buildings to the poverty program to be used as a training center for the "stricken."
One more thought, Miss McDaniel. Did you know that there was a federal injuncdtion against the march that Mr. [sic] King was in Memphis to lead? Maybe if he had had some respect for the law, he wouldn't have been in the city at all. Oh, I forgot. Isn't he the one that won a "Peace" prize?
