Editorial Viewpoint
What Say We About College Emergencies?
Disturbances on college campuses
have had their share of newspaper
space during the last twelve months.
However, the encounters between
students and the administrations
are reaching emergency status ir,
many places in these United States.
Under National Guards encamp
ment, students at Lincoln University
in Missouri are taking their final
examinations. The administrators
hope that when they go home, things
will cool off somewhat.
A state of emergency was declared
in Greensboro last week and North
Carolina A&T State University was
ordered closed after a night of
violence during which a Negro stu
dent was killed aspoliceand snipers
exchanged gunfire.
Dr. Lewis Dowdy, president of the
university, announced the indefinite
suspension of all classes and urged
all students to make immediate pre
parations to leave the campus.
We are wondering what will be
done about the final examinations,
since in the next week or two the
spring quarter will have been termi
nated. Will all students be required
to return to Greensboro to take
examinations later? Whatever is
done is going to cost each student
extra money.
How and why a small percentage
of a student body can upset the edu
cational applecart is more than we
can understand. Are the authorities
going to run the school, or will
rebellious students take over? Any
student firing a gun on a campus
SDS is the abbreviation for the or
ganization known as Students for a
Democratic Society, but its connota
tion is one of contempt, riot and ruin.
Now,, SDS is planning an assault up
on industry in this country, it has
been reported.,,
Coming up for the summer period
is a plan whereby SDS will “work
in” various industrial plants
throughout the nation, according to
a newsletter mailed from SDS head
quarters in San Francisco, Cali
fornia.
The goal is clear: “To compound
the nation’s problems.”
“As inteile ctuai student s who seek
certain social changes,” the news
letter said, “we must begin to ally
ourselves with the workers.”
The program;
1. SDS job seekers will get hired
in industry, so that the opportunity
ifor the distribution of propaganda
literature will be greater. This will
give the organization the chance to
persuade workers to join in a mass
movement, to rebel against sellout
leadership, etc.
2. Carry a non-Communist sign
if we have to, because in this way,
we cannot break the law unless the
company is doing government work,,
A Blacklasb Brewing Against Troublemakers
ft
• As would be expected, public and
g>oiiee confrontations, as well t-s
•student campus disturbances, have
to the creation of a
jblacklash that, at least is brewing.
? A get-tough attitude is emerg
ing against various types of dis
rupters who seemingly intend to
Lkeep up their tactics.
| For instance in Great Britian:
|A crackdown is underway at the
* London School of Economics which
pias been in turmoil for the past
jthree years. Two faculty members
shave teen dismissed for support
ing radical students, A British Court
has teen asked to jail three stu
dents for contempt of court.
Approximately a dozen other stu
dents, accused of making trouble,
face fines or suspensions. And the
reason is simple; It. is a matter
■of curbing violence or seeing the
Iscbool destroyed.
\ Oxford University is considering
|a ban on student sit-ins and dis

is breaking the law' and committing
a crime.
This foolishness has got to stop,
or our students will be half edu
cated. Too much time is lost dur
ing the regular academic year with
periods of class suspensions to give
time for cooling off.
Those students who destroy state
property, set fires on campuses
and defy the law' must be dealt
with promptly, else, there will be
death and disaster. Not just one stu
dent will be killed, but the time will
.come when dozens of students may
have to lay down their lives as
innocent bystanders.
It appears to us that our in
stitutions of higher learning, both
private and state, will need to in
augurate st ricter screening policies
in order to weed out accepting for
enrollment a host of undesirable in
dividuals.
It has been found that a number of
the trouble-makers are living in the
college residential halls illegally,
since they are not officially en
rolled. Dormitory supervisors must
check closely to see to it that all
persons not enrolled in school are
not housed in the residential halls.
Remember that trouble-makers
with nothing to do can easily be
persuaded to instigate trouble. An
idle mind can become the devil’s
workshop. To meet this kind of un
desirable force, college administra
tors must make firm and quick de
cisions in handling the campus cul
prits.
3. Convince workers bow students
can help them through participation
on picket lines, doing research, etc.
4. Talk about the Vietnam War to
get agreement from many workers
who will speak out against this war.
However, be careful when approach
ing relatives of men in the sendees.
Appear to understand their positions
and see their sons in danger “from
the other side.”
5. The major thrust is to iden
tify SDS’s interest with that of
the workers. Without workers, there
would be no industries. Emphsize
to workers the idea that they create
wealth and have power to demand
a greater share of the profits. With
out the workers, no basic changes
can happen in the system, etc.
Some observers have the feeling
that the announced SDS industry on
slaught will not minimize the op
portunity of college students getting
jobs in industry this summer, in
asmuch as SDS represents a very
small minority of students.
The SDS summer job thrust can
be as potent as the propaganda
machine of Russia. It behooves busi
nessmen therefore, to be on the alert
to problems of hiring SDS members
this summer,
ruption of teaching. Mandatory ex
pulsion of students participating in
demonstrations is being .sought at
London University. The government
has promised backing for college
administrators who act to stop the
trouble.
Considerable debate has arisen
in the United States over the proper
course administrators should rake
to stop disruptions. Perhaps because
of public pressure, a hard line is
beginning to be formed. We hear
of more students being dismissed
and jailed for their activities. Toler
ance of disruptive activities is grow
ing short.
It should be clear by now that the
only way to deal with students who
rebel, including their faculty sup
porters, is with strong, tough ac
tion. Permissiveness only increases
the problems and makes a shambles
of the educational process.
Now, where does our higher edu
cational system go from here?

GETTING ALONG
No man I have ever known
can do right by his wife as
a party. There’s something
about marriage that makes
her think a jovial evening
should be instead a discipli
nary exercise in self
restraint.
My pal took Ms wife to the
ballet and from the ballet to
the reception at the Bulgarian
Embassy. Now that’s an even

He pul up with the ballet,
which he hates, and did she
ever dream of attending em -
bassy receptions when she
was substitute French teach

But she is still insisting
the evening was a total dis
aster, Why? Because after
he had enjoyed several sllvo
vitzs, which mind you, the Bul
gars pressed upon him, he
told the Italian Ambassador
he liked olive oil.
She insists it was a gaffe,
a blunder of severe interna
tional proportions. How many
people think to tell the Italian
Ambassador how they admire
olive oil? Very few.
Another friend is living in
abject apology over his actions
at a cocktail party he attend

danced with that blonde. He
wants to know what’s so wrong
with dancing with a blonde at
a party. She fairly screams,
“There wasn’t any music!”
He cannot convince her he was
just being friendly.
Nothing makes a wife un

party. To a woman, they will

BEST WAY TO GAIN
ECONOMIC POWER
BY JIM INGRAM SCOPE
FEATURE SERVICE
Nor was I able to detect
any egotism or officious at
titudes that I've noted among
successful blacks elsewhere.
The president of the Young
Greats has a stipulation in
his contract that prevents him
from making anymore than
a specified amount each year
and that amount is almost
unreasonably low. still, he is
able to live in reasonable com
fort and support his wife and a
number of children that he has
fathered, adopted and taken
in off the streets or from the
youths court in Philadelphia
I have directed the heads of
several groups around the
country to the Young Greats
and they have all left Phila
delphia with exclamations of
wonderment and encourage
ment after having received in
valuable insight and informa
tion on methods of develop
ing such gains in their own
groups and communities.
Though the black economic
conference was a failure in
some senses, it was largely
successful in others. Some

could get through an evening

was a bcor. 1 was hopeful
when I noticed he did not
spill coffee on the tablecloth.
My heart leaped up when he
did not put on another lady’s
hat. I was transported by de
light when he declined a drink
for the road. Alas.”
I cannot imagine why any
one would go to a party sim
ply to catalogue the vices of
the guests. But it seems that
is why they go. They come
home from the bridge club
with gossip but they leave the
party with their little heart
filled with complaint.
It is useless to argue that
they have their faults. They
do not reform when you point
out they are forever closing
your newspaper losing your
place. They keep re-arrang
ing the living room furniture
with the regularity of the tides.
They remain hi capable of
making a left-hand turn. What
spirit is so ungenerous as to
keep reminding them of their
charming foibles?
Alleged misbehavior is an
injustice with which the male
m ust continue to live. We must
do it with good grace. A friend
has confided in me that many,
many years ago at a party
his wife discovered him in
his kitchen kissing his
hostess.
“Ever since I have labored
under a crippling restriction.
No matter where we go,” he
said, “I am never allowed in
the kitchen.”
It only goes to show that
if sufficient applicants for
school vacancies are in over
abundance, sheer numbers
does not guarantee quality
teachers. One must also con
sider that salaries in many
counties are so low that the
best teachers cannot be hir
ed.
Often the area does not have
the entertainment and recrea
tional facilities to attract and
keep vital, talented new teach
ers.
of the most promising tech
niques of maximizing eco
nomic gains were discussed
and agreed or, by many dele
gates, while others allowed
themselves to get hung up in
arguments over conflicting
ideologies.
Giver, the reality that black
people are inseparably con
nected to a larger, white, capi
talistic society, at least for
the moment the thing for us to
do is Subjugate the differ
ences in Ideology for now and
deal with developing tech
niques. But it must be re
membered that economic de
velopment goes hand in hand
with the establishment of a
tangible sense of community
and cultural autonomy.
While the economic pro
gram of the separatist Re
public of New Africa may seem
more feasible to many be
cause it involves the amas
sing of black talent and other
resources under a state stru
ture, the proposals set forth
by people like. James For
man at the conference have
some merit. Forman proposes
to use black and white
churches, for the most part,
in the developing of economic
power while increasing de
mands to the powerful church
hierarchies. But now he is in
open conflict with the RNA
and is being publicly rebuked
by them as an Idiot. 1 don't
like to see this happen unless
Forman has been exposed as
a willing tool of the op
pressor and, to my most re
cent knowledge, he has not.
The upshot of it all is that
people all over the country
will have to go back to their
communities and organize on
a step-toy-step basis until the
national organizational level
is reached with more cohesion
and less disunity on irrevel
ant subjects.

moved to explain the lack
of unity that was manifested
at the conference and remark
that white people throughout
the country are just as split
among themselves on. any
given subject as any other
race.
But it goes a little deep
er than that in regards to
black economics. There are
those that still seek to di
vide Mack people on eco
nomic issues, concepts and
ideologies and then exploit
that division. Theterm "feted:
capitalism," 1 think, is an
illusory one, since the total
economy of blacks to the UJS„
is about equal to the total
economy of the white teen

Economic Highlights
While the nation’s attention has been direct
ed toward an avalanche of laws and regulations
to improve the performance of private in
dustry, the machinery of government which
makes the laws and administers them has lie
come increasingly complex, archaic and im
potent to deal intelligently with many of to
day’s problems. The state of Congress and
pressures for reform were the subject of a
lengthy feature in The Wall Street Journal
by Mr. Norman C. Miller, Mr. Miller be
. gins his article by quoting one critic who
says, “The House is like the Black Hole of
Calcutta.’’ Another critic, a freshman Con
gressman, observe of the congressional par
liamentary jungle, “Nothing prepares you
for its horrors.’’
Judged by the findings of Mr. Miller, the
Congress of the United States, which is with
out a doubt the most powerful legislative
body in the world and, as such, subject to
no disciplinary authority other than the elec
torate, has resisted interna! change to a de
gree that many newer members find nearly
intolerable.
One of the measures proposed by a number
of members seeking fundamental changes is
the installation of computers, They help leg
islators with tasks ranging from answering
their mail to analyzing the present budget
proposals. As Mr, Miller points out, “. . .
Congressmen often feel helpless in the face
of the growing complexity of their work. . .
House leaders currently are inspecting a com
puter system that could store an array of in
formation and answer legislators’ queries by
flashing data or. TV-like screens in con
gressional offices ” But as Mr. Miller ob
serves, “The much more difficult reform
objective is to limit the power wielded by
chairmen and other senior Con
gressmen/ while opening up more opportuni
ties tor nuuc-ana-me legislators to make their
influence felt.’’

"WHITES VS BLACKS’’ KICK
JOHANNESBURG - As Republic Day, May 31
rolls around, the white minority government
of South Africa is renewing its plea to every
white couple to "have larger and larger fami
lies," while trying to brainwash Black
Africans to limit their family size. The
government’s hope is that within some 20 o:
more years, it will be able to reduce the
disparity in number between Blacks and whites,
which currently sits at 19.1 million to 3.6
million respectivelv.
WHO'S ‘INTRACTABLE”
SALISBURY, Rhodesia - Rhodesian Premier
lan Smith is accusing the British government
of being “intractable’’ in its refusal to let the
white minority retain its control over govern
ment when it becomes a republic. Smith wants
the 225,000 whites to be undisputed lords over
the four million Blacks, and has advocated
100 per cent approval of a new constitution
which would provide this rule. Referendum on
the constitution is scheduled for June 20.
$4.1 MILLION AWARD
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. - Some 2.300
Klamath Indians are much richer now,
after the Indian Claims commission approved
an award of $4.1 million lor a surveying mis
take made during the last century. The award
centers around faulty surveys made in 1873
and 1888 that omitted 521,824 acres from the
tribal reservations. Although recognized in
1906, and paid for with $437,007.20, the tribe
noted that the land was worth $6,521,500 in

But not in a purely capital
istic sense. During a recent
talk I had with Jim Brown,
the foot to a 11-sta i -turned -
movie-star and black eco

that President Nixon had bor
rowed bis firm’s ideas for
economic development and put
them under the banner of black
capitalism. Jim agreed that,
since the concept of giving
material values precedence
over human values has grown
under capitalism, and since
blacks liave suffered so tre
mendously under the concept
and Its application, black
people should reject it. Due

other plan for economic and
social betterment must be de

of black people.
That was one of the ex
press purposes of the con
ference. But, in my opinion,
it failed this purpose miser
ably, I didn’t see a repre
sentative from the little-pub
licized but highly effective
Young Greats lr*e. of Phila
delphia. If anyone can prove
that a type of socialistic capi
talism can work, these young

that trade with national con
after include restriction of proxy voting by
absentee committee members, a device that
now allows some chairmen and other senior
members to control absentees’ proxies; the
opening of committee meetings to the public,
with few exceptions, and allow radio and TV
coverage of open hearings; requiring v.ritten
procedure rules for all committees, thus
opening more avenues fora committee majority
to override a chairman. Veteran observers
see little chance for the adoption of many of
these alleged reforms. Mr. Miller notes, “Per
haps the least controversial reform proposals
are those designed to improve congressional
control of the budget.’’ He also rioted with
respect to electronic aids, “Congress is mov
ing slowly toward equipping itself with com
puters, quite apart from the general reform
drive.” Most of this computerization at pre
sent has to dowith “housekeeping,” but as time
goes on, the chances are good that com
puters will be used to store and serve up
data on legislation, the budget and other
topics.
One thing is certain: Whatever is done to
improve the machinery and the lawmaking
procedures of Congress will be done s’ wly
and with what many will fell is undue deliber
ation, .And, while freshmen Congressmen and
citizens alike may grow impatient with the
bungling democratic process, of which Con
gress is the world’s prime example, we must
realize that government in a democratic society
should never be expected to act with the ef
ficiency and dispatch of a dictatorship—or
of private enterprise for that matter. For
many, the obvious moral in the necessarily
slow pace of congressional reform is that gov
ernment in a democracy should never cross
the line into the province of enterprise w here
production, efficiency and keeping up wit): the
times are imperative. In reality, the seeming
slowness and inefficiency of democratic gov
ernment is its most admirable quality. It
leaves plenty of room for dissent.
