lany of his own questions unan-
wred.

ional Students Association and by

phy
Fawcett raised questions such as
whether or not communist parties
can exist with peaceful socialism as
their goal, whether or not
Eurocommunists would back Russia
or the United States, and whether
or not the Eurocommunists would
seek Russian help in pursuing their
communist ideals.
Fawcett was unable to define the
difference between socialism and
communism in response to a stu
dents question.
He did outline recent political
events in Europe which charac
terize the progress of Communist
parties there.
Fawcett said France, Spain and
Italy are the countries tending most
toward communism. He said com
munists are close to power in Spain
and Italy. The Communist party has
been growing in Italy for many
years, but has only been legalized in
Spain since Franco’s death. They
were recently defeated in the
French national elections by a very-
narrow margin.
He said Eurocommunists back
the U.S.S.R. in some respects and
the United States in others. Italy fa
vors NATO and the presence of
U.S. military bases in their country,
while France is “pointing the
missiles at both sides.” Fawcett said
France calls for the simultaneous
dismantling of both NATO and the
Warsaw Pact.
Fawcett said nationalism has been
a much stronger force this century
than communism. He said the Rus
sian invasion of Czechoslovakia in
1968 was the “watershed” for
Eurocommunism independence.
He said European support of Rus
sian communism began to fall with
the exposure of Josef Stalin. He said
the Russian invasion of Portugal also
disillusioned the Eurocommunists
as to the Kremlin’s methods.
Fawcett said the Eurocom
munists believe their road to power
lies in the ballot box, and that
“many young leftists have left the
communist party for selling out’ to
the system.
“The heart of Eurocommunism is
that it can be voted out,’’ he said

Ks it sick
a pen
Is it crazy to love marker pens that give you the smoothest, thinnest line in
town.. .and feel so right in your hand? Is it mad to worship pens with clever
little metal "collars" to keep their plastic points from getting squishy?
Not if the pen is a Pilot marker pen.
Our Razor Point, at only 69c, gives
the kind of extra-fine delicate line you’ll flip
over. And for those times you want a Httle less
line, have a fling with our fine point
59c Fineliner. It has the will and fortitude to
actually write through carbons.
So, don’t settle for a casual relationship.
Get yourself a lasting one,or two, to have
and to hold.. .at your college book store.
