The Lecture-Asse mbly Committee of Salem is concerned with presenting the student body with educational enlightening lectures and movies. It has presented successful programs over the years. However, past successes are over shadowed by the effects and promise of this year’s presentation. This year Lecture- Assembly has chosen the theme “Years of Change: Where Have We Been? Where Are We Going?’’ The first section “Where Have We Been?’’ will be presented in the, fall semester. ,a program was the film “The Graduate’’ with Dustin .Hoffman and Anne Bancroft. It is the story of a sixties college graduate who has an affair with an older woman but falls in love with the woman’s daughter. On November 8, the film “Bright College Years”, which traces the political activism that was prevalent on college campuses during the 1960’s will be presented. It follows this movement from its beginnings at Yale University thru to' its tragic conclusion at Kent State. On November 13, the film “Easy Rider” with Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper and Jack Nicholson will be shown. The last program of the fall portion of Lecture-Assembly’s year will be a speech by Jerry Rubin, who was a Yippie Party leader in the late 1960’s and a member of the Chicago Seven. He will talk about the political ac tivism of the 1960’s and how it affected the nation. He will also speak on one of his latest concerns women’s consciousness and male sexuality and their place in the society of the 1970’s and 80’s. Tamed Panther Larry Little, a-Win ston-Salem Alderman and a former Black Panther leader spoke on Oct. 25 at Salem’s first Lecture-Assembly program of this season. “The last time I was here to speak,” says Little, “I was outside in the Square protesting the Vietman War.” Little said he was considered “outside the system” then, so it was fitting that he spoke outside. Now that I’m “inside the system” as an elected official. It’s fitting that I should speak inside today.” Standing at the podium in a three piece suit, Larry Little looked nothing like what one’s idea of a Black Panther might be Perhaps this is because since his days as a Panther, fighting for civil rights. Little has settled down to become an honorary graduate of Winston- Salem State University and is doing masters work at UNC-G in Public Adminsitrtation, in addition to being elected an Alderman. “I have become a little more sophisticated” says Little. *I have just grown and developed but the struggle is still the same.” The struggle that paid a price trying to make the country free”, said Little of the man who he thinks is probably “the greatest human being who ever lived.” He didn’t have to pay that price-but he did, said Little, he went beyond his conviction. “All educational experience doesn’t have to come from books” said Little, as he began to tell of a personal incident that he con siders one of his most educational experie nces. This incident involved Little’s arrest, at 19, for putting up Panther related posters around Winston-Salem. Little explained that the court found him guilty but the judge said he would not have to go to prison if he quit the Panther Pairty. Little said he protested that he had not done anything in the first place and was sent to a felony lock up camp. Little then told of a “deal” the FBI tried to make with him. This deal involved Little becoming the FBI’s informant on the Black Panthers. Little refused and said he was brutally beaten by prison of ficials. Little was moved th another prison, where he said he tried to refuse a high- Little was speaking of way work detail. Little was the Black man’s said that when he stood struggle to overcome what Little referred to as tremendous odds. “Blacks have had to shed blood to make the world a better place for all people to live in.” up for himself, other prisoners began to aiso, following Little’s example. Little conquered fear and overcame barriers to emerge as a stronger, Little said that “They confident person, able to have moved from the participate more ef back of the bus to the front of the bus to the front of the unem ployment line.” Blacks have understood that they have to struggle. Little said, “If there is no struggle, there is no progress.” “Martin Luther King Salem Scholars: Margaret Poindexter, JaneUe Brown, Frances Barnes, Judy Watson.
