To the stake with William F. Buckley Jr., whose various utterances ooze such venom [Sept. 1]! It is gratifying to note that the United States National Student Association's vice president received such overwhelming support from the association for his attack on the editor of the National Review and that the conservatives' feat of obtaining 15% of votes in a takeover bid still proves that the American student is not taken in by pernicious illusions.

Sir: Hooray for Harvard Senior Howard Phillips and Editor William F. Buckley Jr.! It's certainly refreshing to see that some students recognize the fact that there is a very active brainwashing society well organized in this country. I'm glad they are not afraid to speak up. Of course if they are in support of the House Un-American committee and against the Peace Corps and so-called Freedom Riders, and want to uphold Washington, Jefferson and Franklin, then they will probably be silenced by some federal court order.

Sir:
Re your article "Liberal Control": cheers for National Student Association Veep Timothy Jenkins. His "extremism" may spotlight the hypocrisy of such as William F. Buckley Jr., who have subverted the cause of moderate conservatives by posturing us as udicrous figures somewhere between Adolf Hitler and George Babbitt.

Necessary Ingredient
Sir:
According to TIME, the necessary ingredient of leadership must be "late to bed and early to rise." Aug. 25 —1) Estes and Gerrity "start work at 6:30 a.m., finish at 7 p.m. . . . and expect their staff to do the same." 2) "Ulbricht's formidable stamina kept his colleagues on an 18-hour day." 3) "In Washington, Cicognani began his day at 6 a.m. and expected his associates to do the same." Effective this week, I am setting my alarm clock for 5 a.m. and "expect my associates to do the same." What time does Time's editor arrive on the job? LEONARD L. LASNIK

Full Ship
Sir:
Since the article appeared in your magazine [Aug. 4] telling the story of my work, I have received letters from eleven foreign countries and many of the states commending me.
Most of the letters from foreign countries stated that if I would visit their country and set up a similar program, it would do more to stop Communism than the money that is being spent.
I am sure that if you had told people to send an offering to help fill the ship, we would certainly have received enough money to do the job.
