DEMOCRACY IN GEORGIA, U.S.A.

The political freedom of all emeri~
cans was diminished by the Federal Court
in Georgia, when it voted 2—1 to uphold
the refusal of the Georgia legislature
to allow Julian Bond to assume his right-
ful seat in the Georgia House of Rep~
resentatives.

According to the court, the views of
Mr. Bond are "at war with national po-
licy," and therefore he could not take
the oaths to defend the national and
state constitutions.

The statement of the majority of the
court is concluded in a language which
makes it quite clear that 1)Bond is be-
ing penalized fer voicing unpopular (in
White Georgia) political opinions (in
this case, Opposition to U.S. policy in

Vietnam)- and 2)the court explicitly
supportithis punishment for political

dissent.

One would have thought that in Ameri-
ca, at least, the case would never arise
where a man, legally elected to a public
offlice, would be denied the right to
serve his constituents on the grounds

REVOLT IN THE ENGLISH
DEPARTMENT

About three months ago, the student
editors of Stylus ("The Campus Literary
Magazine") were compiling their fall
issue. However, the "Faculty Advisory
Board" found that one of the stories

, selected for publication contained

naughty words and concerned one of those
hush~hush subjects. Therefore, scents,
a thunderbolt from Mount Olympus quick-
1y snatched the story out of the pub~
lishers' trembling hands. The student
editors promised immediate action.
"nfter_all, we’re.ggt children, I don't
think, maybe, I guess. lhe time has
come, or is fast approaching slowly,
when something must be done because if
things don't get_better,they’re bound to
get worse unless they stay the same!”
Now, only three months later (after all,
a good reaction takes time:), the student
editors seem ready to take action immev
diately in the not so distant future.

BERKLEY AND U. Ko?
BY: Margaret hadsworth

It is surprising to see the amount of
OppORitiOD among U.K. students to the Ber—
kley protests. Perhaps this Opposition
can be attributed to a careless reading
of the press coverage of the incident.
The idea that the revolution at Berkley
was entirely the work of a few beatniks
or Communist agitators looking for a
cause would be funny-—if there were not
peOple who believed it. A careful study
would reveal that the list of organizee
tions united in publicly protesting admi-
nistrative policies includes: the Young
Democrats, YOung Republicans, CORE, Cali“
fornia Students for Goldwater, and the
campus Civil Liberties Union, as well as
leftist groups from SDS to DuBois Club.
This hardly suggests that the protes move~
ment was strictly a radical fight or that
only leftist organizations stood to gain
from the "revolution". '

The fact that there was such a wide
Spectrum of participation in the protest
should raise a point to critics, namely:
When so many varied groups unite against
something, there must be a serious reason
for their discontent.

What are the reasons that united the
Berkley students against the University
administration? 1) A general repression
of the students' political organizations
under stringent and erratically enforced
rules; 2) a dissatisfaction with the
casual attitude of the University toward
its students' welfare; and 5) an objec»
tion to the policy of in loco parentis.
As the conflict between students and ade
ministration spread , the protests grew ’
to include objections to the unfair
treatment many of the demonstrators were .
receiving. Obviously, these administra—
tive policies affected a majority of the
students, not just the leftists.

as to the methods of protests: sit—ins
and annilar demonstrations were last~
ditch efforts employed, when all forms of
negotiation had been frustrated by the ad—
ministration., . v

The Berkley ”revolutionfi‘is still going
on quietly._ But.the difficulties of the
Berkley students are not our first con—
cern. It is time to take a hard look at
our own problems. The situation at U.K.l

I resigned in anger and taken my own
work from the issue, and if others of
the board had acted similarly, there might
well not have been a Fall Stylus. And I'
don't wish to see Stylus destroyed (nor
on the other hand do I wish to see it
made impotent). And now stylus has been
published, put on sale, and reviewed;
and the student board can now meet to
formally debate the issue. Several times
a date for such has been set only to have
to be cancelled for one or more reasons
(such as tests) among the various (5 in
number) members. It is necessary that
all g members meet together so that an
attempt can be made to establish a unani~.

able to all. A new date for a meeting
has been scheduled and if there are no
unforeseen obstacles, such will be held.

my own personal stand public until such
time as the student board has met among
its members and again has met with the
faculty board (if such is decided), so
there can be no mic-understanding on
anyon‘s part. I promise that such will

PROBOSAL FOR A
UNIVERSITY Inseam tower

SDS will Sponsor a University Reform
Wcrkshop.in the Spring, at which students -
can meet in small groups to discuss what
they consider to be the major problems
at U. fie, and to decide on specific
courses of action for dealing with these
problems. -a

The following areas of discussion have

been suggested:

I. ,In Loco Parentis: .;

This is the principle of parent-re~
placement by which the university (the
deans, AWS, etc.) regulates the private"
lives of the students. Some questions
that need to be considered are: Should
a university have the authority to set curl
few hours for woment students, to estab-
lish standards of dress, or to require
that dorm residents purChase meal tickets
(particularly Scaperstown residents)?

Are students given proper.legal counsel
in discipline cases? (Too often the
students may be treated as though they
are child—Wards of the university, with
the university assuming absolute power of
discretion in.Judging and punishing, as
though the student did not have the same
rights as other citizens confronted with
legal prosecution.) ‘

II. Democracy on the Campus:’

This involves an analysistf the deci-
sionamaking structure and method of selec-
tion of the Student Congress, Student Cen~
ter Board, and ANS. Do they accurately
represent the attitudes of their consti-
tuents? How much authority do these go-
verning bodies actually have?, How much
should they have? Do they really set on _
behalf of the students, or are they prone
to reflect the attitudes of the university‘
Establishment? Do they encourage students.
to choose for themselVes, or do they tend
to reinforce pressures from student con~
formity?

What about censorship on the campus?
Should the faculty be able to censor Stylus
and control theiprogramming at WBKY? Is
there budding pomicy of censorship in
the new regulations for posting material
on Student Center Bulletin boards?

Finally, should the university and its

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Sire, ,

It is about time someone responded to
your attack on the President, as printed
in your recent issue of May 16, 1927. ‘

.In the first place, President Coolidge
genuinely likes indians, and that is not
Just put~on. If you saw the blankets he
keeps you would know what I mean. In
additionk he is an honorary member of
the peyote cult, and well~known for the'
odor of goat cheese in his hallucinating.

Secondly, it is not true that the Pre—‘
sident was weaned on a pickle, as you
allege. It was a skinless Wiener, and
has nothing to do with his "peculiar"
facial expression.

Your suggestion that President Coo—

several arty things happened recently.

ultimate camp statement.

III. lgggiwg_tho Academic Scene:

The problem in 5eneral is that the U.n.
student seems to have been assigned a
totally passive role in relating to his
education. hhat about establishing a
means of faculty and course evaluation
by the students? Can students have a
significant role in determining course
requirements? Are enough teachers really
prepared to tolerate student dissent from
"official" position in the clasSroom2
that about the growing impersonality of
the university (of the Law School) as it
expands, and the increasing tendency of
teachers to teach less and research more?

In addition, this committee will disw
cuss the possibility of forming a fires

Free University of Pennsylvania discussed
in a recent Kernel editorial). Is such a
uniVersity desirable, and if so how could
it be established and Operated?

IV. Miscellaneous:

cooperative residence houses, etc.?

how about a permenamt U. K. coffee house?

How is the activities fee spent? ,Uho

grounds? Should the athletics fee the
made optional? that about graduate
students taking six hours who don't get

program of financial aid to students?
etc. , etc.

Conclusion:

The need for a program of campus
reform is clear. The Kernel has already
commented on a number of these problems,
but neither the Kernel nor the B h T G
can do more by themselves to solve them.
The concern and the answer must come from
the students through intensive discussion
among themselves and with the faculty
and administration._ The purpose of the

that he failed to agree with a specific
policy favored by the national government.

The legitimacy of political dissent is
not a "dangerous luxury," which America
toderates reluctantly and with suSpicion.
It is, rather, built into the heart of
the American politidal system.(two Opposing
parties~~surely such an arrangement cannot
presuppose continual unanimity on matters
of national concern.) It is because we
cherished the rights of any individual to
believe what he likes and to be true to
his beliefs, that we began the Bill of
Rights with the First Amendment guarantees
of freedom of conscience and freedom of
political expression. , ’ .

It is because we are not so innocent H

as to think that perfect wisdom is even .1
likely to he enbodied in the policy of any
single government, that we guarantee all
citizens the freedom to submit the po—
licies of our nation to hard scrutiny, and
to critiniginor even rebuke our govern—
ment when the citizens think it necessary.
The peculiar "politics of consensus" of‘
the Johnson Administration has given birth
to a strange child indeed, in the Geo—
rgia Court’s decision that if a man
basically disagrees with some “government
policy, he no longer qualifies to serve
in the goVernment on any level. This is
surely an obvious nonesequitus. The
irony of this stand, which has already
been pointed out by other writers, is
that if this criterion were strictly
applied, perhaps the entire Georgia

Legislature (as well as.Senators Russell
and Talmedge) would have ceased to exist
some years before, when virtually its
entire membership was bitterly opposed
to the natiOnal policy of desegregation.
and equal rights for all citizens regard~
less of color.

I: is necessary to argue, in 20th ‘
crntury America, that we must not prevent
the expression of views critical of
government policy? That such criticism
is not unpatriotic or subversive, but
rather the leaven essential to the intel~
ligent-functioning of a democrady, is
surely tuo obvious to require prolonged
defenses

In any case, it is quite Clear that
it is not really the sanctity of the
Great Consensus which the legislature
and the -courts are upholding here .

They are quite willing to try and sabo~
tage national podicy when it suits them.
that they are really doing is using
this line as a gimmick to penalize a
man who believes in an idea that is
unpopular with the White Establishment
in Georgia—~and who is a Negro besides.
How delicibus for them, to be able to
slap down the "peace creeps" and the
"uppity niggers" with u single gesture:
that’ll show them what it’s like to
disagree with the government in Georgia.

Th t the decision of the court will '
stand seems to us unlikely. The decision
has been appealed to the Sunzome Cour t,
and we hope and expect that they will
waste little time in striking down this
noxcious and (dare \ve say it) un-Ameri~
can attempt to trample on the rights
of Americans to disagree with their
government withoat forfeiting their
rights as citizens.
