What Sort of Man Reads THE LANCE?
In every issue of a popular magazine there
appears a picture of a well-dressed, at
tractive gentleman under which there is the
caption, "What Sort of Man Reads PLAY
BOY?” We are amused when we think of the
sort of man THE LANCE would have to
typify if such an advertisement were run
with the caption, ‘ 'What Sort of Man Reads
THE LANCE?”
More than likely the picture would have to
include the editor of the Lance and an
occasional faculty face.
The question is pertinent, however. Who
really does read THE LANCE? Maybe another
question is appropriate here. Why should
anyone bother to read THE LANCE?
With every Issue of the St. Andrews
“official student publication,” there is a
great abundance of newspapers blowing
across the campus. These newspapers are
usually free of attachment to any student’s
hand, floating freely about the bushes, trash
cans and other likely places.
How many St. Andrews students actually
consider their newspaper relevant to student
life — how many read the editorials or any
thing but the front page headlines and pic
tures?
We are not criticizing the student body for
their apparent disregard for and disinterest
in THE LANCE. The staff of this paper
realizes the failure of the newspaper to in
terest the majority of the St, Andrews
reading public.
At a meeting held Tuesday night, the
editorial staff pledged to try again in another
direction. Each LANCE that Is published
will cover those Issues of relevance to the
campus, commenting upon those issues with
opinions derived from the staff, and when
ever differing views arise, these too, will
be printed.
THE LANCE Is not published to fill mail
boxes on Thursday afternoons. It is printed
to reflect the voice of the student body.
Read it and respond—there are issues of
importance here in Laurinburg (believe it
or not) and who knows, the kind of man who
reads PLAYBOY, may just as well read
another media of relevance—THE LANCE!

BLACK STUDENTS VOICE OPINIONS
by joe junod
Four students rapped to me
last night. The subject: What
the black man means on this
campus—from a black point of
view. I sat down with Tracy
I Moore, Wilbur Hayden, Lap-
1 paine Chiphe, and Dwight Clay
In Granville Dorm in hopes of
discovering what they felt about
St, Andrews, George Wallace
and the black militant move
ment in the United States. I
did.
Dwight Clay opened up the
discussion with comments about
St. Andrews. “We have become
a valuable part of this campus
by making people question their
attitudes towards all blacks.
For two years I tried to assimi
late into the St. Andrews so
ciety and have realized that It
can’t be done. We all want
to be ourselves. One thing that
is important to us is that we
want to maintain our dignity;
we don’t want to be degraded”,
Wilbur Hayden continued say
ing that “even the indirect com
ments really bug me. Like man,
I feel It, I want respect and
don’t want to be played up to
with phony smiles simply be
cause I am black,”
The four men are militants,
the fifth militant being Bert St.
John, who was not at the dis
cussion. Why militant? Dwight
Clay commented that their
group agrees with the nationally
known militants. “The white
man does not want me as a
man. . . , they want a pet, that
they can understand,”
Leppalne Chiphe stated what
he felt “Black Militancy” meant
to him, “All black men should
be militant. Militancy Is ag
gressiveness, There are two
kinds of militancy: violent and
non-violent. Martin Luther
King was a militant: a non
violent militant. His thing was
beautiful man, really beautiful.
But it turned sour, he got too
many white folk Into his or
ganization, He tried too hard
to please the white folk. Bro
ther Malcom X is the other side
of the coin. He would rather die
standing on his feet than live
on his knees. Brother Malcolm
would refer to King and his
non-violent doctrine as a
method by which all people suf
fer peacefully”.
ful’urisi’ Herman Kahn to Speak Monday
BY SARA LEE
Lance News Editor
Dr. Herman Kahn's speciality
is thinking about the unthink
able. As director of the Hud
son Institute, a private organ
ization which makes projections
of the future for the United
States government In military
and foreign policy affairs. Dr.
Kahn has been described by
HORIZON Magazine as a
“master strategist whose team
ot planners is working our po
licies to cope with every con.-
celvable crisis; from a border
attack to a nuclear holocaust, ”
In connection with the C&C
program. Dr, Kahn will present
three lectures during a visit
here on October 14 and 15.
On Monday evening at 8 p,m,
he will speak in the gym on
“Policy Issues Facing the
Next Administration.” On
Tuesday in the LAA at 10 a.m,
he wUl offer "Current Alter
natives in Vietnam and at 11
a.m., “The Year 2000”,
HORIZON Magazine contends
that Dr, Kahn is the inspira
tion for the character of a
bloodless defense analyst in the
novel FAIL-SAFE and in part
a model for Dr, Strangelove in
Stanley Kubrick’s movie of the
same name.
He is a former senior phy
sicist and military analyst for
the Rand Corporation and also
was a consultant for the Oak
Ridge National Laboratory and
he served on the Gaither Com
mittee on Strategic Warfare In
1957. He is the author of
several books; ON THERMO
NUCLEAR WAR, THINKING A-
BOUT THE UNTHINKABLE, ON
ESCALATION; METAPHORS
AND SCENARIOS, and CAN WE
WIN IN VIETNAM and co-au
thor of THE YEAR 2000.
Dr. Kahn leads consideration
on possible or probable or even
tual or even Impossible ques
tions concerning government
affairs. He asks such ques
tions as what would happen if
Russia attacks Germany; if
Mexico, supported by China,
demands the return of Texas
and California; if Latin
America became united under
an aggressive and belligerent
dictator, or if a nuclear salvo
destroyed half of the American
population. The Institute
recommends In general and
specific terms what should be
the government policy toward
changing events abroad and at
home.
Dr. Kahn Is the originator of
an Escalation Ladder measur
ing confrontations of major nu
clear powers and plotting al
the possible steps by a"
original misunderstanding
could be aggravated into an all
out nuclear war,
He is known for his direct,
cool and often terrifying pro
nouncements about the future
and as a controversial figure
in high level policy-making.
On the subject of George
Wallace the group was very
local. Tracy Moore said that
“we dig Wallace because we
know where he stands--even If
it Is against us. Hayden also
commented on the Wallace
phenomenon. “We will not sup
port him nor will we vote for
him because that would make
us “Toms” (blacks who com
promise andlose their Identity),
As Dave Brubeck’s “Take
Five’' biased from the record
player, Chiphe again became
vocal. He wanted to clear up
several things. He said that the
white man had a tendency to
“mistake black assertion as
reverse racism.” All four made
it very clear that they were
happy with each other but could
not tolerate what Chiphe calls
“honkylsm”. “Honkyism” was
defined for me. A white man’s
“honkylsm” Is that attitude that
brings out the white racist in
him. When a black man steps
outside a white man’s stereo
typed image of the black man,
the deep-down honkylsm be
comes evident. Chiphe summed
up the whole evening when he
commented: “We got soul man,
you got honkylsm.”
The cafeteria breakfast hour
for Saturday has been changed
to the regular Sunday breakfa
st hour. Breakfast will be
served from 8-9 in the cafe
teria on Saturdays,
Joyner Examines Civil Disobedience
History; SOC Up Next Week
^ F,
BY SARA LEE
“Non-violence is not dead;
but it has reached a crisis
stage,” said Dr. Charles Joy
ner Tuesday night as he ad
dressed more than sixty lis
teners in the Student Center
Alcove.
Joyner’s lecture was the first
of a series of lectures on cIvU
disobedience which have been
planned by the Democratic Co
alition. The history professor
stressed the historical pers
pective of civil disobedience in
its relationship to the American
tradition. ^ . , ,,
"The entire concept of civil
dis obedience has arrived at that
same stage, too. No longer do
peaceful tactics affect any im
mediate changes, but violence
has changed nothing either. It
Is a philosophical crisis which
requires the sophistication in
methods from both sides. It
deals not in terms of idealistic
goals, but in terms of pro
viding jobs and housing for the
poor”. For Joyner there is a
major question which must be
answered; "How do you drama
tize to the wealthy worker the
fact that the people who have
not are of concern to him and
his prosperity?”
Although “civil disobedience
is principally a foreign and un-
American idea, individuals
within our society maintained
a like consciousness of conduct
and reacted accordingly”, Joy
ner pointed out.
