BSU With 40 New Freshmen Makes Plans
By DARRELL RICE

Managing Editor
The Black Student Union
(BSU) in its first meeting of the
year Thursday night reviewed its
accomplishments during the past
school year and discussed where
it plans to go during the coming
year.
The meeting was closed to the

Black Lexington
"A Piece of Black Lexington,"
billed as "the greatest show on
earth, live and in color" will
be presented at S p.m. Saturday
in Fellowship Hall of the Lexington Theological Seminary, 631
South Limestone Street.
The program includes:
Black spirituals, black history,
black humor poems, four one-aplays written by William Bingham, local black Community Action worker, and music by "The

Price of admission is 75 cents

was one of the major items of
discussion.
He indicated BSU feels a star

forceful in voicing the needs and
desires of black students than
would an average student.

said. "They (athletes) could do
things to help themselves and

* The Chicago Casualties:
Democracy
It was bludgeoned by three-foclubs,
kicked by thick-sole- d
boots,
stung by chemical mace,
overcome by teargas,
charged by wedges of big bellied cops.

It was dragged across

glass-strew-

lice everywhere they went, some-

ot

times beaten without provocation.
Freedom of the press, freedom of
assembly where were these and
the other rights granted by our
democratic society? Shoved aside
by the butt of a billy club to
make way for something called
"law and order," but more recognizable as facism.
It was clearly a case of government of the machine, by the machine and for the machine.
After Humphrey was nominated
and all the votes had been cast,
the head of the Illinois delegation requested that the nomination be made unanimous and drew
a resounding chorus of objection.
But the chairman of the convention
asked all in favor to say aye and
then ruled it unanimous . . . without asking for objections.
And prior to that, the chairman had refused to hear Wisconsin's request for adjournment and
a move to another city the most
sensible suggestion made all evening.
Participatory democracy? Not
quite. Nothing rests in the hands
of the people now except the catch
phrase "law and order." As the
infamous Lester Maddox put it,
"Daley has proved here in Chicago that we can have law and
order." If the conditions of a military state are the only circumstances under which law and order can be found, this country,
like Chicago, becomes openly and
shamelessly nauseating.
Black is the color of the day.

Even the usual, expected

were too many real issues, too
many substantive differences to
make a believable show of comradeship out of the affair.
While supporters of the opponents of Vice President Humphrey
were continually checked for credentials and forcibly removed when
they refused to present them, a
group of Humphrey supporters apparently without credentials were
allowed in a rear entrance while
guards seemingly turned their

Peace

Gene

Peace and much more died with the minority report Wednesday
night. The possibility of believing that civilian control of the military
actually exists died without a squawk. The possibility of a foreign
policy based not on fear but on freedom passed away to a few unheeded protests. And the possibility that the North Vietnamese will
believe our statements at the conference table in Paris expired apparently unnoticed.
All this may not have been immediately apparent, for the Vietnam
plank of the Democratic platform is like much else that went on in
Chicago, confusing and misleading. Any peace advocates who feel
that the plank's call for a halt to the bombing is a step in the right
direction should look again at exactly what it is that the plank is
saying.
Rather than the "unconditional end" to the bombing called for in
the Platform' Committee's minority report, the accepted plank promises to "stop all bombing of North Vietnam when this action would
not endanger the lives of our troops in the field."
The logic behind the plank was expressed in a letter from Gen.
Creighton W. Abrams, the American commander in Vietnam. The
letter, wliich was read to the Convention by Rep. Hale Boggs of
Louisiana, clearly states that a two week halt in the bombing would
increase the North Vietnamese strength five times. Therefore, in his
military logic, the bombing halt would endanger the lives of our men
and would obviously be impossible at this time. But what the general
failed to mention is that as long as the war is continued this nation
not only is endangering lives but is throwing them away.
Moreover, the possibility of a bombing halt will remain remote
so long as the basic rationale of our foreign policy remains military.
And what the Democratic Platform says is that the Democratic Party
supports and believes in the rationales of the military. That these
rationales are the ones which have embarked us on the most degrading
and divisive actions in the history on this nation seems to have been
little considered by the delegates in Chicago. Nor, it seems, was any
consideration given to the terrible and obvious consequences of continuing these rationales and actions.

He was all alone last March in New Hampshire. Just Gene against
the administration, the war and the stench surrounding American politics. Gene, the snow, the people and the issues. And 43 per cent
of the Democratic voters gave Eugene McCarthy, Democratic Senator
from Minnesota, a moral victory.
The rest is history. McCarthy, leading a group of dedicated youths
who were trying to work through the system one last time, kept alive
a hope. This week, Chicago Fort Chicago extinguished that hope.
Now there is only the man a big, soft spoken, articulate man with
courage.
What Gene McCarthy will do now is a bit uncertain. He said
Tuesday he may retire from the Senate when his term expires in
two years. One could hardly expect otherwise. McCarthy has not
hidden his just disappointment over the lack of support he got from
that body despite the fact that many Senators were officially opposed
to the war and favorable to a peace plan.

that he might run for president again
in 1972 and indicated that he will try to continue to lead his "movement" to "the extent they want me to." McCarthy made clear that
his committment to youth was not a passing whim, something to be
cast off like delegate votes thrown to the wind.
But McCarthy also hinted

His greatest regret, he said, is the disappointment his defeat is
going to cause the young people and disenchanted Democrats who
followed his banner. And in the small hours of the morning following
that dismal call of states and final balloting, Cene McCarthy, visibly
shaken, visited several hotel rooms where injured antiwar demonstrators were being aided. These are still his people.
Gene McCarthy offered disillusioned Americans hope when there
was none and help when that hope failed. He said he will continue
to be there when we need liim, and we are grateful. What Cene McCarthy has given America can not be repaid. All we can offer is our
hope for an America much like the one Cene McCarthy led us toward.
