The Other Side
BY JOE JUNOD
There are no names In this story. It involves ten black
people, residents of Laurlnburg, the Laurinburgmostofus
are unaware of. or at least a realltv that we are unwilling
to face. Their home is untainted, without a basement or
reliable heat. The husband works in the mill, the wife tends
eight children. Wages are low and bills often remain
unpaid. Dinner Is the only meal on most days.
“I didn’t want all my chlll’n. Not eight ‘cause I can’t
do the things I should be doin’ for 'em. Now I love 'em so
don’t git me wrong but all them is bad ‘cause my husband
don’t make alot, exceptin’ every so often when’s he gits
overtime”.
“After my first four come we tried to get some of those
pills but we had to pay and money is always tight, you
know’d that. If I could a got some then maybe the other
four wouldn’t have come and we woulda done better for
the others”.
The floors were naked but the house was clean. Even
the windows. Wash hung in the grassless backyard, which
was inhabited by three boney creatures usually called dogs.
Twin girls bounded In the back door looklngfor some milk.
When they received no for an answer, they knew. No milk
today, or yesterday.
“That mixing of schools Is good. Mine ain’t had no
problem and they says that they gits along fine with the
others. I ain’t never been to school so I ain’t so sure what
they’se doing out there, especially the one that’s sixteen.
“Yes sir, I knowed about them college folks—the ones
been around tutoring and all. That’s why the oldest is still
in school. And I knowed one more thing about them folks.
That those stores git rich off ‘em ‘cause they got alot of
money and charge them high prices. It ain’t no good but
none worse than me ‘cause I can’t git no food stamps
‘cause they say my husband’s got a Job and them folks
always say no.
“My husband git time oft. No, we ain’t been down to the
beach 'cause the last time none of our friends would go to
any beach but the black one. They’se wrong when they ain’t
mixing ‘cause the beach and water don’t belong to nobody
but God”.
“Now you’re goin’ to haveta let me be 'cause all my
chill’n and my husband be in pretty soon and I can’t git
no work done talking to you”. So I left with a notion that
someone was enjoying life In spite of the odds. _______

Cabinet Adopts Resolution
To Fight Campus Prejudices
The following resolution was
adopted by the Student Cabinet
on Wednesday, November 20.
The Cabinet Is aware that this
statement is far from any really
concrete action. But, it feels
that one must begin some
where and this is the base from
which they choose to move.
Whereas we believe that all
men are rightfully due equal
privileges, opportunity, free
dom and respect regardless of
race, economic background, po
litical affiliation and activity,
or religion;
Whereas we recognize the
unwillingness of some persons
and institutions to provide these
rights;
Whereas we believe there
exists within ourselves per
sonally and within our own ed
ucational institution, St.
Andrews Presbyterian College,
those thought processes and
structural weaknesses which
promote the denial of these
rights;
Whereas we believe the ideals
upon which this college was
founded and have dedicated our
selves to any changes we deem
necessary for the promulgation

of the East Carolinian, speaking
to Mr. I. L. Baker’s journa

topics discussed Included the
functions, responsibilities, and
advantages of being on the staff
of a college newspaper.
Financial Independence ofthe
East Carolinian will be put to a

According to Sumner, this will
result in “better service to the
students, both in quality and dis

hope to become a dally news

The ten finalists chosen by
Glamour will be photographed in

Vanocur Delivers Thoughts
On US Policy and Politics
BY TOM WOOD
After a belated start thanks to
Piedmont Airlines, Sander
Vanocur brought his consider
able political acumen and inti
mate knowledge of the Ameri
can political scene to bear on
the results of the Presidential
election and the current mood
of America.
Vanocur, speaking at the sec
ond of this year’s Concert-Lec-
ture series, covered a wide
range of topics including all
the recent candidates and many
of the Issues Involved.
“George Wallace,” he said,
“in a very real sense domi
nated the election by con
ditioning the rhetrolc of both
major parties. Wallace, whose
intelligence wasunderesti-
mated, was able to speak about
the real nitty gritty in a way no
other candidate did until the
closing days of the campaign.
So he was able to register the
dissent of politically alienated
lower class whites who believe
too much Is being done for the
black but not enough action is
belngHaken in Vietnam.
“McCarthy registered dis
sent from the other side of the
political spectrum In much the
same way. He can be credited
with bringing down the Johnson
Administration in New Hamp
shire, and thus maklngposslble
peace talks.
“Nixon as a partyman and
primary election winner de
served the Republican nomi
nation. However, he severely
misjudged the people by his
campaign style and his choice
of Agnew, with a glance over his
shoulder at Wallace. And It al
most cost him the election.
Nixon should be a competent
President, but not a charis
matic leader. He realizes that
America wants to get on with
Its unfinished busines by ending
the war and making a massive
effort on the race problem. The
only alternative Is insurrection.
Nixon must learn to trust him
self and the American people.
“This was Johnson’s pro
blem: he trusted no man and was
trusted by no man. Johnson
thought he saw expanding roles
for the federal government and
for the United States in the
world when these were no longer
relevant. This was proven by the
ability of federal programs to
confound problems and by our
limited power abroad In the
cases of Vietnam, the “Pueblo”
and Czechoslovakia.
“The most urgent needs In
America facing the Nixon Ad
ministration will be to get out
of Vietnam and to get this
country united behind its
minority president to get on
with the programs of America.
We have already proved our
point In Vletnam and have payed
dearly for it. We should get out
with a negotiated settlement.
Nixon needs the respect of the
people and the aid of the in
tellectual community and will
only gain these through the wide
use of power.

The military has been on
campus this week recruiting a
fresh supply of American young
men to Join the ranks of the
national defenders. When the
Naval and Marine recruiters
arrived at the Student Center
to set up their display table,
they were met with another dis
play double the size of thelr’s.
The draft counseling table con
tained numerous pamphlets and
various pictures of the “im
moral military efforts” In Viet
Nam along with other antl-
mllltary literature which con
demned soldiers as “hired
killers”. This is a serious
group of students honestly con
cerned about U. S. involvement
In Vietnam, and its moral im
plications for American
society.
Lt. P. J. Unser, Just back
from seven months in Viet Nam,
Is now a career officer In the
Navy. He, along with Lt. John
son and Lt. Overton, are college
recruiters. These men were as
signed to “present the facts”
to those St. Andrews students
who ' were Interested on
December 4.
How did these men whose
lives were dedicated to the
military feel when faced with the
anti-military dl splay yester
day? “It was nothing really
disturbing,” said Lt. Unser.
“I question some of the state
ments and statistics which were
passed out on the mimeographed
sheets, and think its a lot of
idealistic hogwash”.
When asked if he were of
fended by the anti-military pro
paganda, Lt. Unser said, “No;
it is their right to dissent. I
am Just happy that they are
peaceful In their objections and
that they wash behind their
ears”.
Although Lt. Unser does not
agree with the objections the
dissenters have raised, he does
believe In their rights to object.
“The reason I am In this uni
form is toprotect their rights.”
Although viewed as corny and
full ot apple pie by many, Lt.
Unser represents a belief in
American patriotism that is
un-cool and embarassing to a
great many college students.
This country has never known
the horror of foreign oc-
cupation--a situation in which
any form ot dlssentlon wouldbe
outlawed. Lt. Unser and bther
military men believe that it is
their duty to protect the unique
freedom In America through
this participation In the sys
tems.
Faulty and failing as our
System may be, it offers us the
opportunity to disagree and pub-
lically question governmental
action. The lack of national
pride—whether it is mirrored
in anti-war demonstrations or
flag burnings is too often all a
part of being cool.

The Knights of St. Andrews
came home from Quincy Tues
day, bringing with them a final
game win over Rockhurst of
Indiana and a seventh In the
nation ranking.
Thd 3-l» victory over the
Indiana team, who had come ln‘
to the tournament seeded sec
ond was the only win for the
blue team in three games, but
it made victory aU the sweeter.
The game was played at 8:00
a.m. Satuiiday morning, on a
frozen field in 28 degree wea
ther. Footing was extremely
slippery, and neither team could
play at full speed.
Coach Hackney elected to
start Albers and Nesblt at the
inside forwards, with Molse and
Freeman on the wings. Chris
Johnson and A1 Thompsop
flanked Ken Pritchard at the
halfback spots, and the Colby-
Brewbaker-Snyder troika made
up the backfleld, with Hannas at
the goal.
Rockhurst tallied first, with
6:40 gone in the second quar
ter. Fran SOS, Rockhurst’s
left wing, headed in a corner
kick from a couple of y*vrs out
for the goal. However, SA soon
found the range on the frosty
field, andfourminuteslaterMr.
Albers headed in a corner kick
by Henry Freeman to even the
score and give Rockhurst a taste
of things to come. It was Albers
again, five minutes later in the
same period, on a seven yard
shot from the right side on a
pass from John Daniels. The
half ended with SA on the winn
ing side of a 2-1 score.
The third quarter was score
less as both defenses tightened
up, and the field began to thaw a
bit, turning the frost into cold
mud and making the footing even
worse tha4i before. t;-.s game
threatened to turn Into a free
for all several times at this
point, as players lost their
balance and inadvertently
bumped and slid into each other
while making a play. Rockhurst
players twice squared off to SA
players, but peace prevailed be
fore too much damage was done
and the game continued.
Minutes after the start of the
fourth quarter, Nesblt took the
ball in and fired from about
four yards out for SA’s final
goal of the game and the season.
The 3-1 vlctorv thus gave the

Stokley Carmichael Speaks Out On
Violence .Failures Of Liberalism in U.S.
SANDER VANOCUR
BY TOM WOOD
Lance Staff Writer
Forty-odd St. Andrews’ stu
dents, transported in one char
tered bus and several cars.
Joined the capacity SRO crowd
In the gym atUNC-Chapel Hill
to hear Stokley Carmichael. The
black power leader and re
cently Joined member of the
Black Panther Party spoke in
blunt terms concerning what he
stood tor and expounding the
pitfalls of white liberalism.
“I want to make it plain
here and now that I stand for
revolutionary violence. Now
violence is a morally neutral
factor, because “power legiti
mizes violence”. And In
America the white man con
trols the power. American vio
lence In Vietnam has tor most
people no moral value. But for
the black man In America to
take a gun against his oppressor
suddenly makes violence a
moral issue, because the black
man cannot legitimize or In
stitutionalize his violence. Yet
he sutfers violence daily. Is not
hunger in America violence?
“Black must make tor them
selves economic opportunity by
fighting captlalism and racism.
This economic opportunity is
even more important than
political opportunity as Castro
has shown in Cuba.
“There can no longer be
coalitions of black and white.
The black man is fighting tor
his humanity as no other group
in America must do. And the
history of coalition parties,
such as the Populist party, is a
history of betrayal tor the black
man.
“The white liberal is the
biggest drawback to the ad
vancement ot black man. He is
only one step better than the
Law and Order people and that
one step is his Improved
rhetrolc. But the liberal cannot
fight for change because he be
lieves that confrontation is bad,
that it will lead to revolution.
So he desires to protect the
polarization, the status quo in
which he enjoys economic sta
bility.
“The liberal does not im
prove conditions because he
