Everyone Can Fly ' VISTA Program Tights War On Poverty' 1
By BOB BURGIN
Everyone can fly.
You don't think so? Well,
you can in a production at
the Morehead Planetarium
entitled "Flight" which will
be shown today, Saturday and
Sunday.
Not only will you fly in
the X-15 on man's first flight
beyond our atmosphere, but
you will fly through time the
past, present and future.
That's what "Flight" is all
about "The recreation of
sights, sounds and smells as
well as the beauty, triumph
and tragedy of man's quest to
master the heavens,"
according to Richard Knapp,
assistant director of the
Morehead Planetarium.
In the opening moments of
the show when the flight first
begins, God introduces the
first aviators to man the
birds. They appear on the
dome of the planetarium and
dancers in a strobe-light sky
depict their flight.
As they become lost in
dark clouds, "Flight" zooms
in on Da Vinci, played by Dr.
James W. Pence, of the UNC
speech department, as he
bursts through the words,
"Man Can Never Fly" and
makes his prediction on
special live TV that man will
someday fly.
Incense and exotic color
patterns fill the planetarium as
small Chinese girls, cairying a
kite man's first step to air
travel shuffle through the
audience in authentic Chinese
costumes. The Chinese also
contributed balloons to flight,
and as the song, "Up, Up, and
Away" rises up in the

Have you ever met a
21-year-old girl who's had
nine miscarriages and two
children? Ever worked inside a
mental hospital? Ever known
a family of 13 who call
an old, abandoned
bus? Ever taught a
45-year-old man how to read?
Have you ever lived in
poverty? Ever seen starvation?
Ever tried to help an alcoholic
Indian? Ever shown a
4-year-old girl who's lived in
the slums what fresh air and
trees are like?
Do you know these
conditions, and many more
just as bad or worse really do
exist in America?
Are you about to get your
diploma, yet still don't know
what you would like to do,
but like working with people?
Have you considered
joining VISTA to help "fight
the War on Poverty" so you
can do something to alleviate
these conditions? In short, do
you want to "Make the
scene better"? v
You will receive six weeks
intensive training on the
causes and cures of poverty,
and then spend at least a year
walk. Actually it's not all that
simple, but it was his
"spacewalk" that proved to
Americans that man can
survive in outer space and
encouraged him to build
better "transportation" to get
there.
Strobe-lights and modern
art slides in a fast moving
sequence provide the
realization that more exciting
things are yet to come.
But before the ship
Flapper! splashes down, a final climax
utilizes the world's best and
a Volunteer In Service To
America.
You will work with, not
for, the "have nots," trying to
enlist the aid of the "haves",
or power structure.
You will experience
frustration, bitterness and
disappointment, yet gain
compassion, empathy, and
patience. You will receive no
financial reward, but much
love, friendship . and many
memories from the people
you serve. You will learn
more about sociology in your
year of service than from all
the books you read in college.
You will work in rural and
urban areas, mental hospitals,
Indian reservations and
migrant campus.
You will work with whites,
blacks, Mexican-Americans
and Indians.
You will work with little
children, old people,
teen-agers and adults.
You will educate the
illiterate and ignorant, while
at the same time trying to
educate the power structure
about the illiterate and
ignorant.
You will be on call 24
hours a day, 365 days a year,
for you will soon learn trying
to offer hope is no 9-5 job.
You will do all this by
trying to work yourself out of
a job your job is to help
others help themselves.

Trip Around World Changes
Student's 'Outlook On Life9
By SAM HALL
Ever swim in the Suez
Canal or shark fish in the Red
Sea?
Dave Howard, a
Jacksonville, Fla. senior, did
in 1967 on a nine month,
working trip around the
was home for the 1967
Easter holidays and applied
for a summer job on an
oceanographic research ship.
"On a Tuesday I got a
phone call asking if I wanted
to work on a ship going
around the world," said
Howard. "I asked when the
ship was leaving and was told
Friday at two o'clock.
"I wasn't going to pass the
trip up, so I called my advisor
and told him the situation. I
left on March 29, 1967 and
returned on December 16,
1967."
Some stops included the
Istanbul, Port Said, Bombay,
Australia, New Zealand, Chile
and Peru.
Howard was one of 12
survey technicians on the U.S.
Coast and Geodetic survey
ship, one of the most modern
ocean research ships. He
helped in sea water analysis,
navigation and ocean depth
studies.
The trip was sponsored by
the Environmental Science
Services Administration to
promote international
oceanographic cooperation.
When the ship landed the
crew could go ashore and do
most anything it wanted.
Howard said the "people were
friendly in all the countries
we visited. We didn't have any
language problems except in
the USSR, and even then we
were able to get our meaning
across.
"You could usually find a
Azores, England, Monaco, few people who spoke English
in all the countries we visited.
"I had the most fun in
Australia," said Howard. "We
stopped there for a month
and I got to see a lot of the
country.
"The girls were friendly
everywhere. Australian girls
were probably most like
American girls in their
mannerisms."
Howard witnessed a
Buddhist burial ceremony,
rode a camel iu Ethipoia 10
miles into the desert to see
ancient ruins, swam in the
middle of the Indian and
Pacific Oceans, toured the
Bombay cages, and lost his
paycheck in a Monte Carolo
casino.
"1 made many friends and
changed my outlook on a lot
of things," said Howard. "I
saw that there are big
prqblems in the world and we
could help other countries
much more than we do.
WHO CARES ABOUT STUDENT OPINION?
BUSINESSMEN DO. wstffii
Three chief executive officers The Goodyear
Tire & Rubber Company's Chairman, Russell
DeYoung, The Dow Chemical Company's
President, H. D. Doan, and Motorola's
Chairman, Robert W. Gavin are responding
to serious questions and, viewpoints posed by
leading student spokesmen about business
and its role in our changing society through
means of a campus corporate Dialogue
Program.
Here, Arthur M. Klebanoff, a senior at Yale,
who plans graduate studies and a career in
government, is exchanging views with
Mr. Galvin.
In the course of the Dialogue Program, Arnold
Shelby, a Latin American Studies major at
Tulane, also will explore issues with Mr.
Galvin; as will David M. Butler, Electrical
Engineering, Michigan State, and Stan Chess,
Journalism, Cornell, with Mr. Doan; similarly,
Mark Bookspan, Pre-Med. Ohio State, and
David G. Clark, Political Science MA
candidate at Stanford, with Mr. DeYoung.
These Dialogues will appear in this publication,
and other campus newspapers across the
country, throughout this academic year.
Campus comments are invited, and should be
forwarded to Mr. DeYoung, Goodyear, Akron,
Ohio; Mr. Doan, Dow Chemical, Midland,
Michigan; or Mr. Galvin, Motorola, Franklin'

We read of industries with
across-the-board product unreliability,
and watch the nation's largest corporations
attack Ralph Nader for defending the
public against such frauds. Many of us
have had our own bad experiences with
mis-filled orders or short-lived products
more expensive to repair than to replace.
We read of industries raping the
countryside in the Redwood forests of
California, the strip mines of Kentucky,
and the oil fields of Oklahoma while
preserving their malicious advantage with
a peculiar and depressingly traditional
brand of legislative log-rolling. We see the
regulators co-opted by the regulated, and
the future of an industry sacrificed to the
short-run advantage of a single firm.
And we read of concerts of industries
defining their own public interest, and
calling it progress. Some of us have
trouble seeing progress in hundred foot
long trailer trucks, brand-name drugs,
and supersonic airplanes and the
congested airports from which they
are meant to fly.
This is a college generation deeply
concerned with personal honesty. To
many college students business appears
unreliable and destructively self
interested. Only the most positive actions
by the business community can change
this reaction, and create any significant
degree of interest on the campus.
My question Mr. Galvin is what will
business do to police itself?
Sincerely yours.

Even the might of the military can't protect you if you're not
careful how you use Hai Karate After Shave and Cologne. One
whiff and females get that "make love not war" look in their
eyes. So to maintain military discipline and keep your uniform
intact, we put instructions on self-defense in every package.
Just in case it comes do.vn to hand-to-hand combat.
Hai Karate-be careful how you use it.
Dear Mr. Klebanoff:
A newspaper that ran stories such as
"120 Million People Committed No
Murders Yesterday" . . . "Thousands of
Officials Found Corruption-Free" . . .
"Very Few Students Are Sex-Crazed
Dope Addicts," would lose readership.
Newspapers must, by definition, report
the "news" including factual occurrences,
but putting emphasis on extraordinary
events. Crimes, wars, and corruption, are
unusual happenings, and are thus reported
in our news media.
A report that a "New Drivemobile Sedan
is Found Unsafe" is of greater importance
to the motoring public than, say,
"Fifty Makes of Autos Pass Safety Tests."
Most newspaper reports of fraudulent
practices by business firms are accurate.
However, newspapers are sometimes
guilty of subjective interpreting and
reports of entire industries with "across-the-board
product unreliability" can only
be described in those terms.
A single corporation (much less an entire
industry) would not survive long by
producing inferior goods. Competition is
self-regulating for one thing, and most
corporations are bound to meet certain
standards specified by various trade
associations and institutes. Government
regulations, too, must be met, and,
finally, the buying public has the last word.
Business is policing itself, Mr. Klebanoff.
Consider some of the positive aspects of
modern, responsible corporations while
you weigh the shortcomings and
malpractices. You have read of industries
"raping the countryside," but apparently
you haven't read reports of businesses
and industries involved in conservation
an involvement in which billions of dollars
are being expended, and will continue to
cost many billions more.
An important conservation activity by
industry is the building of huge lakes by
the nation's investor-owned electric power
companies. Although these water masses
are essential to the companies' operations,
they create valuable and much-needed
reservoirs of fresh water. Power
companies usually open these lakes to the
public for recreational purposes. An
example of this is Commonwealth Edison's
latest watershed which provides the
public with over 100-miles of newly
reclaimed shoreline.
Lumber companies, far from "raping"
our forestlands, are in fact responsible for
their growth. A lumber company would
Arthur M. Klebanoff, Yale
not stay in business if it did not operate
on the principle of "sustained yield"
growing at least as many trees as it harvests
Boise-Cascade Lumber Company is one
of many that conducts multi-use
forestry programs the company's timber
lands are open to the public for
recreational purposes such as camping,
fishing, hunting, hiking. Logging roads
allow public access into these areas and
are also invaluable in forest fire control.;
It is a fact that game increases in well-
managed forests . . . this again is a
contribution to conservation.
The National Association of Manufacturer
estimates that American corporations are
currently spending in excess of $500
million annually on air pollution control
research and methods. Many millions mor
are being poured into water pollution
control by business.
Slum clearance and renovation currently
claim the energies and financial resources
of a number of corporations; others
are working on improved sewage and
garbage disposal systems.
Yes, there is some legislative "log
rolling", lobbying, and other questionable
practices, just as there are some
unscrupulous doctors, students who chea
corrupt people in government, criminals
roaming our streets, traitors and
deserters in the Armed Forces. Like you.
I believe that unethical practices in
business as well as in other fields are
intolerable.
Efforts by business to "clean house" are
increasing, just as business' involvement
in society's problems is more evident.
Hopefully, students will be more willing
in the future to examine both sides of the
ledger before passing final judgments. If
more of the brighter, talented students,
with the high ideals and personal
integrity that you mentioned would join
business, the self-policing process that
you and almost all business leaders seek,
would advance more rapidly.
Sincerely,
J.
Robert W. Galvin
Chairman, Motorola Inc.
