Alt In The Western World by Art Crosswell Every day sees more and more American servicemen committed to the war in Vietnam. Every day sees more and more American so ldiers killed in the jungles of southeast Asia. And the official propa ganda would have us believe that these men have laid down their lives In the pursuit of freedom for an oppressed people. The official analy sis of the situation in Vietnam runs something to the effect that the brave people of South Vietnam, whowant more than anything to be free, are threatened with domination by a bunch of bad guys, the Chinese Communists, who won’t let them be free. Therefore, since the Amer ican nation is the guardian of the world’s people who want to be free, it is the obligation of the American people, the good guys, to save South Vietnam from Communism. The incredibly conceited and misguided premise that lies at the base of this analysis is the conviction that Am erica is indeed the land of the free, and Communist run countries are not. Thus the marvelously simple division of the world into the good types and the bad types. The whole trouble with this line of thinking is not that Communism is totaliarian, which it might be, but rather it is the false assumption ! that America is the land of the free. The government which so loudly proclaims its concern for freedom in Southeast Asia is headed by a man who regards those who disagree with his foreign policy as cow ards at best, and probably light traitors. That same government this past summer held hearings to try and determine the seriousness of the Communist threat to this government, and promptly came to the conclusion that many of the young radical organizations are a defini te threat to the government, and laws restricting their activities should be anacted. In our own state the right of an academic community, sup posedly the epitome of free inquiry in a free society, to hear the views of an unpopular position was seriously threatened. These and many other examples, not to mention the narrow conformism of American Society or the incredibly restrictive plight of the American Negro, all indicate that American government and American society are not really as concerned about freedom as they make believe they are. It becomes obvious that the banner of freedom is nothing but another propaganda weapon, used to give substance to a foreign policy that is in fact directed by quite other motives. How, indeed, can a govern ment and a people be taken seriously when they talk about fighting for freedom for others when they aren’t really serious about it themsel ves. The idea of freedom is far too precious and right a concept to be degraded by using it as an expendable pawn on the chess board of in ternational politics. It is about time that the American people woke up to the fact that they are oeing deceived by an incredible hoax, and that they ought either stop talking about freedom as the motive force In their foreign policy, or get ser Band Starts, Council Begins New Policy A vast reorganization of the St. Andrews Band has recently taken place. A Band Council will now handle all policy-makingdecisions for the band. The council consists of officers of the band, representatives from each class, student conductor, equipnient manager, and librarian. Newly-elected officers are presi dent Lawrence Smith, first vice- president Ronald Hess, second vice-president Jim Neal, secre- tary-treasurer Susan Whiteley. Class representatives are sen ior 'Ronald Hess, junior Cindy Mincey, sophomore to be announ ced, freshman Dewey Jackson. Equipmen manager is John Kinlaw, and librarian is Nancy Monroe. Student conductor will be an nounced soon. Three staff mem bers, in addition to band director Mr. Marian Rogers, will also be on the council. The activities of the St. Andrews Band will be focused in three areas: l)the Wind Ensemble, the concert branch of the band, 2) the Pep Band which will play at games and tour with St. Andrews athletic teams, and 3) the Dance Band, which is presently a long-range plan. Anyone interested in participa ting in any of these activities must be an active member of the St. Andrews Band. Interested students should contact Mr. Rogers or any band member. The Band Council hopes that the reorganization of the band will provide for the needs of the music department and also make the b^d more functional in campus activi ties.
