NUMBER TWENTY TWO
Bond Urges Black
Political Activism
By ( I AL DK STARLING
Georgia legislator Julian
Bond, speaking to some 200
persons
at Atlantic Christian
College last Friday night, called
racism America’s greatest ill
and said its “containment and
eradication" should be a
national goal.
"A society which condones
racial arrogance has been
spelled out by commission after
commission," noted Bond, yet
conditions which were once only
■•deplorable” are now
• abominable,” he said.
•‘Blacks,” he continued, “are
victims of social disaster” and
further descirbed them as a
■ people in agony” living in cities
•haunted by crime” or in
■'government-supported po
verty.”
Bond called for growth in
political activism and coalition
on the part of blacks if they are
to influence the 1972 elections.
For blacks, the issue is whether
we progress, stand still or fall
back, said Bond.
Concerning the 1972 elections,
especially on the national level,
for President, Bond stated that
on a simplistic level, “anyone
besides the incumbent will do”;
but on a sophisticated level, he
suggested someone who will
deliver more than just rhetoric.”
Bond reserved especial
criticism for the United States
Congress and called for the
election of a body which would
say “No” to Lockheed, to the
President’s — as Bond termed it
— "family disruption plan,” to
J. Edgar Hoover’s — again as
Bond termed it — “Federal
Bureau of Intimidation,” to the
requests for added billions for
war, to “Nixonomics,” and to
the destruction of black people.
Urging blacks to involve
themselves in politics — “the
second oldest profession in the
world” — Bond quipped
“Politics is seeing who gets how
much of what from whom,” later
noting that politics has made the
decisions, which, among other
things, has put “blacks first in
war, last in peace and seldom in
the hearts of their countrymen.”
He urged blacks to aim for a
“different type of participation”
in a “different type of politics”
though he noted blacks, in this
election year, must take a stand
between two impulses: (1) the
Series Of One-Acts Set
An evening of comedy is in
store for theatre-goers, Thur
sday and Friday, May 4-5, when
Stage and Script of Atlantic
Christian College presents three
student-directed one-act plays.
In the traditional “Two Fools
Who Gained A Measure of
Wisdom,” to the absurdist
“Memorial Day,” to the
romantic, “Mrs. Dally Has A
Lover,” the three directors have
chosen scripts that will keep
audiences laughing over the
foibles of mankind.
Rick Comer of Cameron is
directing “Two Fools Who
Gained A Measure of Wisdom,”
a play by Tim Kelly based on a
short story by Anton Chekhov.
Appearing in the production will
be Marvin Winstead of Nash
ville, Alice Wyndham of
Jacksonville, Fla., Patty Daly of
Goldsboro and Ernestine Cobb of
Bowles Backs State
Hiring Those Retired
A proposal that the state hire
retired persons, perhaps on a
part-time basis, was advanced
by gubernatorial candidate
Skipper Bowles Monday night
as he began a swing into the
southeastern part of North
Carolina.
This morning the Democrat
spoke at Richmond Technical
Institute near Rockingham. He
was to fly later to the New
Bern and Morehead City area
for news conferences and ap
pearances.
Bowles told a rally in Lilling-
ton Monday night the state
should beef up its programs for
the aged possibly by including
the hiring of retired persons.
Earlier Monday, he told
newsmen in Charlotte he favors
United States withdrawl from
Vietnam, he would like to see
the governor have a six-year
term in office instead of the
current four-year limitation,
and said it isn’t the governor’s
job to debate.
Bowles said on the subject of
debate, “I’ve been debating Pat
Taylor for months.” Lt. Gov.
Taylor is one of the five other
candidates for the party nomi
nation.
On another subject, Bowles
said he would ask any ap
pointee of his to resign if con
victed of drunken driving. “We
need to get people in govern
ment who reflect favorably on
government,” he said.
The candidate also said his
vocational education program
could result in a $140 million
capital improvements bond is
sue. Bowles said its proceeds
would probably be distributed
to local areas on a matching
basis.
In talks to women in the
state’s largest city, Bowles said
he could work with a w'oman
lieutenant governor—Margaret
Harper of Southport is a Demo
cratic candidate for that of
fice—and that while he will not
set quotas, he wants state go''"
ernment to be fair in hiring
women and blacks.

elimination of Richard Nixon as
President, yet (2) avoid being
the last group of unrewarded
Democrats in the nation.
He told his audience that those
among us from the "center out
to left" must decide whether to
repeat the “activities of 1968” in
which the choice was between
two "unattractive candidates”
and the “most unattractive of
the two” won.
He noted that politics had
become increasingly more
voluntary in the past 10-12 years
but warned blacks "If you want
the same people who have run
your lives for the past 352 years
— they'll do it, they’re happy to
do it, they get their cookies from
doing it."
Bond was asked if he is sup
porting any Presidential
aspirant?
"I’m commited to causes, not
to candidates,” he said, although
admitting he was an admirer of
Shirley Chisholm and had en
dorsed George McGovern for the
Wisconsin primary.
Asked if he could support
George Wallace rather than
some other Democratic Party
contender because he knew
where George Wallace stood,
Bond quipped "We know where
George Wallace stands, but we
knew where Attila the Hun stood
too."
Bond claimed Wallace cannot
be very interested in the "little
man" or in “law and order” due
to the fact that Alabama had the
highest sales tax and the highest
murder rate in the nation. He
said one of Wallace's chief aims
is to make the federal judiciary
subject to legislative review.
Sanford
Speaks To
Colleges
RALEIGH, N. C. (AP) -
Former North Carolina Gov.
Terry Sanford, who is seeking
the Democratic presidential
nomination, says the difference
between himself and Alabama
Gov. George Wallace is one of
leadership.
“North Carolina has been
working to solve problems, not
just complain about them,'
Sanford said Monday in brief
appearances at three women s
colleges in Raleigh. "When ra
cial tensions existed in North
Carolina, they were eased, not
aggravated, by its leadership,
said Sanford, now president of
Duke University.
"Creative federalism is bring
ing the government back to the
people,” Sanford said. "The big
issue is that the government
needs to be shaken up and
turned back to the local level.
A single inflexible approach for
the whole nation simply doesn't
work."
He went on to say the next
"great president” will be "the
president that can spread gov
ernment back out from Wash
ington to the local towns, cities
and communities."
Sociul Reforms
In a series of recent meetings,
a number of ACC students, both
greeks and non-greeks, have
compiled a list of 14 grievances
and proposed rule changes The
students claim that certain
"actions " will be taken if these
changes are not immediately
adopted by the college.
Heading the list of grievances,
are proposed changes which
would allow the "consumption of
alcoholic beverages in fraternity
houses," ''consumption of
alcoholic beverages off cam
pus, " and "consumption of
alcoholic beverages in the
dormitories (except on the walk
ways)." Next on the list comes
demands for "visitation in
fraternity houses from noon
until curfew " and "visitation in
men's dorms from noon until 1
a.m. on weekends"
Meditator
Draws Small
Crowd
Only a few students turned out
last Thurday night to hear the
lecture from Ralph Justus of the
Student International
Meditation Society (SIMS),
however in an interview after
the lecture Justus told The
Collegiate that he expects more
students at the May 4 lecture and
then he told us somethings about
SlMSandstudent
meditationalists.
Justus reported that at last
count there were over 90,(MK)
active meditators in the U.S.,
four of which are located on the
ACC campus. He added that
SIMS is the fastest growing
youth group in the country.
Transcendental Meditation
(TM), explained Justus, is "a
natural technique in which a
person is able to contact a vast
field of resources: TM is a
preparation for activity, in

Nick’s Wife
Visits ACC
Mrs. Louise Galifianakis, wife
of Democratic senatorial can
didate Nick Galifianakis, visited
several girls dorms on campus
and dined with students in the
Hamlin Student Center last
Friday.
Mrs. Galifianakis was on
campus for about an hour and a
half and spent the bulk of her
time here in the Student Center
Frankie Pierce, who escorted
Mrs, Galifianakis, said that they
ate dinner in the cafeteria and
that Mrs. Galifianakis really
enjoyed Ralph's steak. Pierce
also noted that Mrs. Galifianakis
moved easily among the
students asking for them to
support her husband in the May
6 primary. Pierce added that
Mrs. Galifianakis was “a very
congenial lady who enjoyed
meeting and talking with college
students"
Lee Gliarmis, Wilson County
co-chairman for the Galifianakis
campaign, told The Collegiate he
talked with Mrs. Galifianakis
after her visit to ACC and that
she was emphatic in her ex
pressions of pleasure over her
visit.
I'he list also calls for further
revamping of guis rules and
regulations, unlimited
classriHim cuts, and [K-rmission
to go l)aref(x)iwi on campus The
installation of phones on each
floor of the dorms and im
provement of parking facilities
is also mentioned in the list
Tom Kawana, apparently
acting as ciH)rdinator of the
group told the Collegiate tiuit a
mass on campus "drink-in" may
Ix' in the offering for next week
unless these changes are
adopted
When asked for his opinion of
the proposed changes, SGA
president Robert Cayton said he
felt that it indicates to him that a
number of students are very
interested in having some
changes made, but he added that
he did not think that making
threats to the administratiim
and planning demonstrations is
the best way to achieve the
desired changes,
