The text of this resolution is printed below. PRINCIPLE Since military service is, morally objectionable to some members of our society, and realizing that "the government must be ever concerned with the protection' of an at mosphere within which the h divichial may fully realize his right to express himself his policies without fear of h credmiination, intimidiation, or interference by the govern ment," (BPD-X) alternative choices to military con scription must be offered. FACT The present draft laws are discriminatory, favoring those young men in college and those from the more affluent segments of our society. While the 90th Congress has explored alternatives to the Selective Service Act with various of ficials in, the military established, no alternative program has been reached. DECLARATION USNSA ADVOCATES the abolition of the present selec tive service system and sug gests that a program of alter native compulsory universal service be instituted.

WITH the development of potential and a positive self image, the black man attains self-respect and self determination. WITH this improvement of the black man's life style, he will have reason to live and not merely to exist "BLACK POWER is the determination to build a black community which win be more than a euphemism for the ghetto. It is a valid and necessary cry to the extent that it expresses the despair of the gradual absorption of deserving 'negroes' into general society and puts its faith instead in collective ac tion aimed at dealing with a collective fate." BLACK POWER is tho organization of black people to ' vi touiit men neeus m oncer to stop with oppression and ex- 'Fmiuvi; it is me eman cipation of the black man. from what the white man thinks is oest for mm. BLACK POWER is thP , unification of all black peoples in America for their liberation ty anv means necessary. DECLARATION It is common knowledge that the United States Black Man nas been subjected to at least ten generations of infamy atrocities and deprivation of MDerty by tne -white power structure. A racist system has been im posed upon the black man that he is supposed to respect and upnora. Intricate clandestine niechainasms such as the Ku Klux Klan and de iure or de facto racial discriminatdon have been utilized to contain" and control the black man within certain social and economic bounds. Black Power s a sign that the black man is becoming a full functioning individual in American society.
