Mr. Nixon’s recent
appointment of Dr. Henry A.
Kissinger as national security
advisor places a new importance
on a book recently published by
UNC-C’s University Forum
Council.
THE UNIVERSITY AND
INTERNATIONAL
RELATIONS: THE
CHALLENGE OF TOMORROW
contains the four papers and the
transcript of a symposium
presented here last March 1. Dr.
Kissinger’s, “The Study of
International Relation: Statesmen
and Prophets,” and his statements
during the symposium portray
him as very traditional and
realistic in philosophy of foreign
policy. This will undoubtably
guide the advice he gives the new
chief executive.
Kissinger divides policy makers
into two classes, the statesman
and the prophet. The statesman is
the man who takes the situation
as it is, and has been, and acts for
the interest of his nation’s survival
with in that context. Tire prophet
observes the world as it should be,
or as he would like it to be, and
attempts to reach these goals.
The latter method of
conducting diplomacy, according
to Kissinger, is unrealistic. It is
not feasiblei, or wise, to disarm on
the assumption that other powers
will act upon good will and follow
suit. By the time you are aware an
error has been made, it is too late
to correct. He contends, “In
foreign policy there is such a thing
as an irrevocable mistake.”
The first method, that of the
statesman, is not entirely the best
way to conduct foreign policy.
Even though he is a firm believer
in historical study of diplomacy,
viewing the repetition of history
by analogy, he also feels that the
current world situation differs
from all which have come before
so much that it is impossible to
draw such parallels. Nevertheless,
Kissinger feels that in as far as
possible, the statesman should

Stokley Carmichael spoke in
the Union Parquet room last
Monday, December 9. His
appearance here has been
surrounded by controversy, from
questions concerning seating of
non-students, to the use of state
funds.
White students from this
campus were not admitted until
1:45 P.M., at which time the
auditorium held about two

THE NATURE OF THE BLACK
STUDENT ■
‘ ‘The Black people are a
colonized people. This is worse
than an exploited people. We hate
ourselves, we are very negative.”
“The whites want us to hate
ourselves, they seek to have us
identify with *hem the
oppressors- and to destroy our
own images (i.e., hair
straightening).”
Some members of the faculty
and staff at the University of
North Carolina at Charlotte are
helping two student clubs
demonstrate the meaning of
Christmas.
The faculty and staff members
permitted themselves to be
auctioned off to prepare a meal
for the highest bidding students.
The auction Wednesday raised
$160 to be used for a party for
disadvantaged children.
The privilege of dining at the
home of Loren Haus, director of
food service, brought the highest
bids-some $40-indicating that
the student expect some good
food for their contributions.
Mr. Haus played Santa Claus at
the party at 7 p.m., December 17
in the University Union for
children who participate in the
Seigle Avenue Presbyterian
Church tutoring program.
The two clubs are the Rotaract
Club and the Girls Collegiate

organizations on campus. The girls
club was just organized this fall

Carmichael was greeted by
raised clinched fists from the
black contingent, moderate
applause from the white audience,
and several scattered boo’s. After
introducing the present head of
the Students Non-Violence
Coordinating Committee, the
Black Panther field marshall, and
his wife, Carmichael opened his
talk by dispelling any doubts
persons might have concerning his
stand. He spoke out for
revolutionary violence.
(Henceforth, this writer shall
carry the context of Mr.
Carmichael’s appearance through
the use of quoted statements.)
REVOLUTION AND VIOLENCE
“By violence, I mean to inflict
pain on the individual. I intend to
use whatever is at my disposal,
from spitting in your face to the
bomb.”
“We are an oppressed people.
We intend to use revolution for
our liberation.”
“The whites have power, it is
institutionalized violence. We
intend to institutionalize and to
legitimize our violence in our own
minds... to make it legal.”
“A revolutions seeks to destroy
the system, to speak to the needs
and desires of the mass of people
who are displeased with the
system.”
“Countenevolutionary violence
is used to suppress the majority of
people... to protect the status
quo.”
But we must develop a love for
our own people. If one is hurt, all
are hurt, if they (the blacks) do
you wrong, you forgive them.”
“We must counteract this
hatered which has been inculcated
a violent people, but
we are violent to each other, and
not our enemy. This is a result of
our self-hatred.”
EVERY NEGRO IS A
POTENTIAL BLACK MAN
“There is a difference between
a Negro and a black man. Every
Negro is a potential black man.
Negro is a name given us by our
oppressors. Black is African.”
“We must create an effectual
union between black men
everywhere. We were all stolen
from Africa.”
“If you are a Negro, you are a
slave. If you identify your
beginnings in slavery, the best you
can hope tobe is a good slave.”
BLACK, NOT AMERICAN
“How can you work to build a
country where your brother is
enslaved.^ The whites care about
America, not about the black.”
“But don’t go too far the other
way. There is now a blacker than
thou’ concept. Don’t do this.
Work to make your brother more
black. Don’t forget each other,
fight ‘the man’.”
“The Black man should not
fight only in America. We are
Africans who happened to be
born in America. Our fight must
be international, we must spread
our fight. If we make our fight
international, our success is
insured.”
“We are first and foremost
Africans, we are one people,
wherever we are we must be part
