The Creators of the
future are fast arriving...
To the Students:
While Carlos Bell and Philip
Handler were out in the
graveyard of history exhuming
the discredited remains of
Parson Malthus, the U.S. Labor
Party and the pro-human
faction of scientists constituting
the Fusion Energy Foundation
have been leading discussions
and forums on campuses and
before working class audiences
around the country developing
the programmatic details of
socialist expanded
production-the solution to the
present conjunctual crisis of this
capitalist depression.
Those who attended the
showing of the FEF videotape
on campus last week should
readily be able to identify the
epistomological fallacy so
glaring in the arguments of zero
growthers like Handler and
Meadows'-namely that the
entire negentropic evolution of
the universe including the
human species completely
refutes any notion of equilibrium)
of entropy, i.e. there are no
limits to resources as long as
creative human beings are
involved in redefining them.
Dennis Meadows' simple-minded
"limits to growth" thesis is
nothing more than a razmataz
computer extrapolating the past
into the future as though human
beings were incapable of
redefining the entire process. If
Meadows had his computer in
the early 1800's and analyzed
the rate of increase in use of
horse drawn carriages, then
surely he would have predicted
an early 1900's doomsday as the
entire urban population
drowned in manure.
Meanwhile, in the real
world, serious attention is
turning to the USLP and the
European Labor Committees
programatic thrust for crash
development of fusion power
and a world reconstruction
program based on reconversion
of auto to tractor production
linked to expanded fertilizer
production in the industrial
sector for the rapid capital
intensive development of the
fertile Ganges-Brahmaputra
River basin of Bangladesh and
India, the Rio de la Plata area of
Brazil, and what was once the
"fertile crescent" in the Mid
East. This would increase world
grain production several-fold
and lay the basis for eliminating
starvation and malnutrition
worldwide in 5-10 years.
Iraq, picking up on the
USLP/ELC program has this
past week offered $35 billion to
the U.S. and to undercut the
phony Rockefeller/Shah of Iran
oil prices, provided the U.S.
utilize idle capacity to produce
agricultural equipment
necessary for the real
development of the Mid East.
This, coinciding with the
USLP's Emergency Agricultural
Production Act (EAPA) now
before Congress, lays the basis
for immediately stopping the
anticipated 100 million deaths
by starvation this year. It
further lays the basis for
expanding development
whereby vast numbers of the
world's population can become
productive, creative human
beings contributing to
expansion of living standards
throughout the world. Serious
scientists and students are
joining with us in working out
the solutions for expanded
human development in this
expanding universe.
Bell's letter commented
that his p.ro-genocide statements
should be considered sane now
that the "distinguished"
President of the National
Academy of Sciences had
espoused them. The argument is
more easily made that this
merely demonstrates the level to
which the Academy has'sunk.
Before scientists began adjusting
to depression grant cuts and
Rockefeller Club of Rome
propaganda, such quackery
would have had no audience.
This week USLP candidate
for President, Lyn La Rouche
has offered to address a special
joint session of Congress on the
immediate necessary steps to
expand the economy and
restructure the collapsing
monetary system. Congressmen
contacted by our Washington
office this week readily
admitted Lyn's competence as
the only economist in the world
that has correctly predicted and
interpreted the developments of
the present depression from as
early as 1957. Already he has
been contacted by three
Congressional Committees and
Treasury Secretary "Simple"
Simon has ordered ten copies of
the USLP Brief on the Collapse
of the Banking System.
While Bell, like Malthus
before him, is busy blaming the
depression oh the existence of
the human race, the USLP and
the working class are preparing
the next qualitative leap of
mankind to a higher stage of
development-join us.

How do you feel about
the Belk Tower?
by ian larlee
I tliink it’s OK.
Nobody else has
anything like it. The
tower’s sort of like the
center of attraction, but
that bell in the morning
just tears me up. It’s stiU
a pretty nice place to
spend some time.
James Forrest,
undecided major
I think it’s a waste
of money.
Ann Simpson,
Art History
I don’t feel it has
any value to the
university; it’s just a
monument and I don’t
feel Belk did anything
for UNCC.
Robert Goozner,
Math & Science
I think it represents
a symbol to the
university just like other
schools have symbols.

Grad. MA, Int. Educ.
