Rossie Swamping DowdIn Second Straw Poll

BY DENNIS GALLAGHER

The second O bserver straw poll on the S tu d en t Body President ind ica tes th a t R ich­ard Rossie has m oved o u t to a com m anding lead in the race. The actual vo te is as follow s:

R ichard Rossie 163David G raham 8Pat D ow d 59C huck Perrin 51U ndecided 123

The general tren d ho lds for the freshm an quad as well as th e m ain quad . Rossie leads D owd there 64-19 , w ith C huck Perrin a close th ird w ith 16 votes. The spread on the m ain quad is 93 -39 , w ith 32 vo tes fo r Perrin .

The poll gave Rossie an overw helm ing lead in fo u rteen halls, includ ing M orrissey w here th e spread was an incredib le 17-1. H ow ard, S tan fo rd and Badin w ere found to be ab o u t evenly divided betw een D ow d and Rossie. M oreau Sem inary overw helm ingly favored C huck P errin , casting eight votes in the poll fo r him w ith tw o undecided and no votes for the o th e r candidates. Six halls, four favoring Rossie and tw o co n te s ted , had un ­decided votes w hich exceeded th a t fo r any cand ida te . A n off-cam pus poll ta k e n in the H uddle gave Rossie six votes, D ow d one and Perrin th ree , w ith ten undecided o r un in teres­ted .

When the poll is ex trap o la ted so th a t each hall receives a w eighting accord ing to its num ber o f residen ts, th e poll still results in an overw helm ing lead for R ossie. H ere, the

e rro r involved. But evidence ind ica tes th a t th e trend o f the e lec tion , if n o t the precise dim ensions have been cap tu red by the poll.

F irs t, th e poll in terv iew ed som e four h u n d red peop le , a large enough num ber to guaran tee statistical significance under o r­d inary circum stances. Several pollers were involved, m ost o f them taking no active part in th e cam paign.

O ne check o f th e in ternal consistency o f th e poll is the fact th a t tw o separate polls w ere taken by tw o O bserver staffers in St. E dw ard’s H all. The first ( th e one included in the previous tab u la tio n s) fo u n d Rossie leading D ow d 9-2. The second fo u n d Rossie

in the lead 11-2. T w o polls in Badin found Rossie leading 9-8 (th e one tab u la ted ) and 9-4.

A ltogether, the poll can n o t be claim ed to be precise. A s tric tly random sam ple was n o t used , a lthough m easures w ere taken to avoid system atized e rro r. Pollers w ere to ld to avoid extensive clustering in selecting the sam ple p o p u la tio n .

D espite the unexpected resu lts , there was certa in ly no in ten tio n a l and no obvious system atic bias. While the poll m ay reflect a fairly large erro r in individual halls, i t ’s gen­eral d im ensions as a cam pus survey should prove basically valid.

figures are:

On the freshm an quad , Rossie go t 42% o f the vote as opposed to 15.7% fo r D owd and 13.4% fo r Perrin . 26.4% w ere undecided . The m ain quad figures w ere sim ilar: Rossie 42.7% ; D ow d 16%; Perrin 11.8%; U ndecided 27.5% .

The results seem ed som ew hat astounding in w hat had been regarded as a close race. It seem s likely th a t there is a t least som e

W earing a black doll a round h is neck and w ith seven bodyguards in the audience, Black Pow er advocate M aulana R on Karenga o f Los Angeles debated Dr. Jam es Silver o f the N o tre D am e H isto ry D ep artm en t in the Engineering A ud ito rium Wed. n ight.

D uring the debate , K arenga said, Silver “ lo s t w hat in te llectual rep u ta tio n he h ad .” In re tu rn , Silver said th a t Mr. K arenga re­m inded h im “ o f a m an dow n in Georgia nam ed Calvin Craig,” w ho is “head o f the Ku K lux K lan .”

The substance o f K arenga’s speech dealt w ith “ Black peop le 's need fo r a value sys­tem .” His goal, he said, is to “ elevate Black Pow er to a constructive concep tua l fram e­w ork. E very th ing I say is in praise o f Black People, because Black People d o n ’t praise them selves enough .”

Dr. Silver, first to speak w hen K arenga refused, accused the Black N ationalis t o f re­peating u nder an o th e r co lo r the offenses o f “ th e Ku K lux K lan and the W hite C itizens C ouncil.” He com pared K arenga’s ideas to those expressed by “ H itler, H im m ler, Goer- ing, and G oebbles,” and asked w hy a believ­er in “ separatism ” w ould com e to N otre D am e.

K arenga denied any sim ilarity betw een his g roup , US, and w hite ex trem ist g roups on the basis th a t “ W hite people have n e ither the ability no r the right to discuss us o r m ake

any p ro n o u n cem en ts ab o u t us.” He accused D r. Silver o f “ ch aracter assasination” and “ com plete ignorance o f ou r issues.” W hites,

he said, especially the “ w hite liberals” w hom he accused o f “ th in k in g w hite and sleeping balck ,” are incapable o f understand ing the N egroes’ need to be “ Black P eop le .”

In his rep ly to K arenga’s p resen ta tion , Dr. Silver rid icu led the co n cep t o f a “ black p eo p le .” “ T here is n o t a single pure-b looded N egro in th is aud ience ,” he said. “ W hen Mr. K arenga denounces w hites, he is in p art re­pud iating h im self.” The Black Pow er exclu­sion “ reflects insecurity and fear o f com peti­tion and forces po litic ians to m ake allow­

ances for the im m atu rity o f N egroes.”Dr. Silver defended his ow n understand­

ing o f the N egro’s needs and drew prolonged applause w hen he said “ I was being perse­cu ted dow n in Mississippi w hen” Karenga “ was at U CLA .”

He called fo r th ree developm ents w ithin th e N egro co m m u n ity : se lf-determ ination ,

self-respect, and self-defense. To talk abou t “ black p o w er,” he said is to “ ta lk abou t pow erfu l black people. The th ing th a t really d istinguishes us is our co n cep t o f the b lack ’s ro le .”

K arenga said th a t Dr. Silver is “ one o f those people w ho d o n ’t k now how to live and d o n ’t have the decency to die. 1 have m ore respect fo r G eorge Wallace than for th is m an .” F inally K arenga refused to answer a R hodesian s tu d e n t’s question because, he said, he d id n ’t “ w ant to talk to y o u , B roth­er, in fro n t o f these p eo p le .”

PD Release Car That Killed Sue KellyBy MARY CHRIS JARABEK

The au tom ob ile im pounded by S ou th Bend C ity Police in connection w ith the h it- and-run slaying o f S t. M ary’s freshm an Susan Kelly o f C incinnati, O h io , has been released to its ow ner, M cRay O. Felm ing 34 , o f 1301 'A Prairie A venue, S o u th Bend. The car, a 1960 2-door dark blue O ldsm obile had been im pounded late the n ight o f the acc iden t, F eb ruary 3.

If the scheduled hearing had taken place, the police w ould have been required under the w rit to show cause for their re ten tion o f the au to m o b ile .

Sam ples o f b lo o d , Miss K elly’s c lo th ing, and pa in t sm ears th a t w ere sent to Ind ian ­apolis fo r analysis have been te s ted , b u t no conclusions have been released.

All evidence will be presen ted to the grand ju ry w hen it m eets in M ay. The ju ry will then decide w hether o r n o t to ind ict F lem ing in connection w ith th e slaying.

A ccording to one police spokesm an, those individuals ind ic ted for h it-and-run are char­ged w ith reckless hom icide, a s ta te felony th a t carries w ith it the possib ility o f im ­p risonm ent for 2 —21 years.

Sr. Grace Revealed The Merger SecretBy PAT COLLINS

Sister M ary G race rem ained vocal in spite o f the B oard’s official silence. As we sat in h e r first floor Le Mans Hall office, the deposed p residen t gave the fo llow ing accoun t o f h e r dismissal.

“ M other O livette called m e in to h e r office and said, 'S r. M ary G race, the Holy G host has finally com e. I’ve decided to ap p o in t F r. M cG rath as presi­d en t and get you a jo b teach ing h is to ry at the Uni­versity o f Lim a, P eru .’

“ B ut I to ld M other O livette th a t I d id n ’t w ant to teach at the U niversity o f L im a. A nd she said th a t she cou ld get m e a jo b study ing th e grow th o f w om en in L atin A m erica. I to ld her I d id n ’t w an t to do tha t, and th a t 1 really w asn’t qualified fo r th a t jo b since it should be done by a team o f sociologists.

“ I see the w hole th ing as a pow er struggle. I kep t asking M other O livette to fo rm the Lay-R eligious B oard. F o r, really , th a t’s all th is in terim b oard was to do. But M other O livette w an ted co n tro l o f the Col-

lege. And she’s no t qualified. She’s a m issionary nun w ith a nursing degree. . . . Som e o f us are m ade for w orking in the bushes o f A frica and som e o f us are m ade fo r w orking in schools. I th ink M other O livette has the a u th o rity to tell m e things like w hat h ab it to w ear. . .bu t no t to tell m e how to run the school.

“ T he Board th o u g h t th a t it cou ld get m e to resign and th a t 1 w ou ldn ’t say any th ing ab o u t it. But I ju s t co u ld n ’t resign. 1 had to s tand up for S t. M ary’s. . .”

In this last rem ark one begins to ca tch a h in t o f w hat Sr. Mary G race feels is the cen tra l issue in her dismissal: m erger w ith the U niversity o f N o tre D am e.

On N ovem ber 2 9 th , sho rtly a fte r S ister M ary Grace refused to resign from the p residency , she called a

facu lty m eeting a t SMC w here she em phasized her adm in istra tive ability and even had Dr. Jo rd an testify to her adm inistrative ab ility . Dr. Jo rd an also indicted

the Holy Cross nuns for lack o f professionalism in the ir dealings w ith b o th Sister M ary G race and him ­self.

Also im plicated in the Sister G race affa ir was N o­tre D am e p residen t T heodore H eshburgli. B oth the jo b s o ffered to S ister Mary G race by M other O livette (L im a and S o u th A m erica) were in p laces in which F a th e r H eshburgh has great influence.

But w hen the new board m et, they denied the m erger im plications saying th a t the m a tte r o f m erger was never considered . F r. M cG rath also said th a t there was “ no consp iracy” involved.

Y et, the charges o f Sister Mary G race rem ain un­challenged by the SMC leaders and even though m erger m ay n o t have been the reason fo r w hich she was fired, h e r rem arks did surface a schem e neither

1 school w anted o u t.

A ccord ing to Bruce C arter, son o f P ro f. H enry C arter o f the D ep artm en t o f Languages, “ P ro­bably every college in the U nited S ta tes , ex cep t N o tre D am e and S t. M ary’s, has free tu itio n for sons o f fa c u lty .”

C arter, a so phom ore in the College o f A rts and L etters, ad ­m its th a t sons o f facu lty pay less tu itio n than o th e r s tu d en ts ; bu t ob jec ts to N otre D am e’s p roce­dure o f partia l rep ay m en t. “ Free tu itio n , he says, “ is a courtesy N otre D am e should ex ten d to the m em bers o f its fa c u lty .”

N o tre D am e’s v ice-president for Business A ffairs, Rev. Jerom e W ilson, C .S .C ., disagrees. “The

tu ition fo r any boy com ing here is $ 1 8 0 0 ,” he says. “ T hat applies es to sons o f facu lty as w ell. The son o f a facu lty m em ber how ever “ can apply for a g ran t o f $1800 a year. T h en , to keep it for the n ex t th ree years , he has to w ork a t a regular s tu d en t jo b beginning in his sophom ore y ea r.”

C arter recen tly lost his own grant because he refused to con ­tinue w orking in the Archives. “ I ’m typ ing o u t th a t Bishop Blanc o f N ew O rleans paid tw en­ty p iasters fo r som ebody to polish a d o o rk n o b .” The w ork is w hat he calls “ very m enial, very tir­ing .”

But C arte r ob jec ts less to the type o f w ork than to its rew ard . O f the $1 8 0 0 he receives from the un iversity , he has “ to w ork o ff a little over $ 2 0 0 o f it, twelve hou rs a w eek , at abou t 95 cen ts an h o u r .”

A ccording to F r. W ilson,, “ it all depends on how yo u choose to look a t it. T he s tu d en t can say h e ’s w ork ing for less than a do l­lar per h o u r and paying p art o f his tu itio n ; o r he can say th a t

he’s m aking $5 per ho u r and pay ­ing it all.”

An a tte m p t to organize the “ tw elve o r fifteen ” facu lty sons failed w hen C arte r was unable to secure a list o f the ir nam es from Mr. Jo seph O ’Brien, D irec to r o f Personnel. Every o th e r facu lty son C arter has co n tac ted agrees w ith h im th a t “ th e system is really a pa in” and th a t “ Twelve

hou rs a w eek is really a lo t o f m y tim e.”

The Better Man

One o f the things ab o u t N o tre D am e’s , m icrocosm ic political system unlike the n a t­ional system w here m ed iocrity is rep resen ted by a m ore e lo q u en t m ed iocrity , is th a t the greatest ability surfaces and leads. A lthough I see n o th ing seriously w rong w ith the new Pat D ow d, 1 w ould ra ther see him backing Joel C onnelly than vice-versa. L ikew ise, the people w atch ing the charts in R ich R ossie’s headquar­ters say m ore ab o u t him than all the cam paign lolli­pops C am pus Press could ever p rin t.

T here are tw o candi­dates o f any m om en t in this e lec tion . I f R ich Ros­sie were n o t in co n ten tio n fo r th e office , the new Pat

D ow d w ould p robab ly be acceptable.W hat Pat has been saying th is year, R ich

has been saying for th ree and a half. He cam e here re luc tan tly , expecting to take his Kahlil G ibran scholarship to Cam bridge a t the first dem eaning im posure o f curfew o r bed check. He ended up in F arley , how ever; and , since he cou ld live as a being capable o f h is own life, he stayed .

T h a t’s w hat th is cam paign is all ab o u t; and, a lthough Pat D ow d has com e around , R ich Rossie expresses it w ith m ore force. S tu d en t G overnm ent’s pu rpose is its end, a s itua tion in w hich s tuden ts can study , a sit- ' ua tion w hich does n o t com pel those p resen t- ■ ly enro lled to sacrifice the ir ow n education fo r the sake o f those w ho follow . E ventually , the S tu d en t U nion should be able to handle it all; and those w ho like th e game fo r its ow n sake will have a place to p lay .

R ich Rossie understands th a t and has a

philosophy w hich backs up h is dem ands. T his university , as any un iversity , exists in th ree sections: A dm in istra tion , facu lty , and studen ts . The A dm in istra tion m akes the

o p p o rtu n ity o f education available - m ain­tains the facilities, staffs the classes, bu t surpasses its role w hen it im poses ra ther than offers the education . Ideally , the choice o f using th e o p p o rtu n ity is an individual one; b u t s tu d en ts live in g roups and the groups should decide h o w open i t will be to w hat is offered .

The ASP c o u ld n ’t have p icked a b e tte r m an because R ossie’s class had no one b e tte r to o ffer. He is b e tte r o ff-the-cu ff, indignant and S ou thern , than he is w ith a p repared te x t because som etim es the po litic ian ob­scures the substance. B ut a t o th e r tim es, w ith his tie loose and his sleeves ro lled up , he bangs

his desk w ith o u t caring w ho hears and talks ab o u t th e curfew s and co n tro lled finances in K eenan-S tanford . T h a t’s w hen h e ’s real; b u t, a t least un til now , it h asn ’t been w hat the s tu d en ts w ant.

E dito r:As a w itness to the Black

Pow er debate betw een D r. Silver and Mr. R on K arenga, I did feel th a t Mr. K arenga’s com m ents and a tt itu d e s tow ard the A frican s tu d en t w ere grating to m y sense o f values, b u t th e boo ing and catcalling o f Mr. K arenga by a large n u m b er o f s tu d en ts , was the ugliest, m ost frigh ten ing in­d ic tm en t o f la ten t w hite p reju­dice I ’ve ever seen.

Y ou d id n ’t u n d ers tan d w hat he was saying, b u t in acting like a m o b , yo u illu s tra ted his w hole p o in t. W hitey can n o t bear to see a b lack m an stan d up and say: “ M an, I d o n ’t bu y y o u r set o f values; I got m y own black values.” T hus w hen Mr. Karenga w ould n o t even argue w ith a b ro ther-A frican in fro n t o f w hite m en , it co n flic ted to o greatly w ith y o u r E u ropean sense o f po liteness and h o n esty and you

i reac ted by hoo tin g him o f f the stage. Feeling sorry fo r the black- R hodesian , som e o f y o u sh o u t­ed “ h e ’s a hu m an being!” , w hich I u n d ers tan d m eans th a t despite being b lack , he has o u r sense o f values. Is n o t Mr. K arenga a hum an being to o , and deserving o f o u r respect? T o respect only those Blacks w ho have o u r set o f E uro-am erican values is n o t even close to C h ris tian ity . “ D o no t even sinners do the sam e?”

O ne m ore q uestion . Would you have rushed to the defense o f the R hodesian i f he had n o t been Black? T h a t, likew ise is an illu stra tion o f the reality beh ind Mr. K arenga’s a tt itu d e s tow ard pate rna listic w hite liberals.

D ear Sirs:D ennis G allagher’s February

12 artic le en titled “ S im plistic R esp ec tib ility ” was a rash and unfair dismissal b o th o f George

, K ennan’s paper and o f Mr. Ken- nan personally .

Mr. G allagher seem s to ob ject strongly to the charac te riza tion o f tw o large c o m p o n en t g roups

S ta r ts FRIDAY!

’PJ! is a hundred minutes of murders,

brawls, dolls, and sizzling action.

GEORGE PEPPARD is PJ:GAYLE H U N N ICU TT-R A Y M O N D B U R RTECHNICOLOR* A UNIVERSAL PICTURE

The Mo f the New L eft w ith o u t the recognition o f any “ individuali­za tion in ‘th e m ’.” If, indeed , Mr. K ennan ’s p o rtra it o f a Radical L eftist is a b it to o surrealistic, is g roup charac te riza tion invalid m ethodo logy in po litical analy ­sis? (A nd does it necessarily in­d ict h im o f the heinous crim e o f reading Time m agazine?) If so, de T ocqueville , B urke, M arx, e t. al. should fall in o u r esteem .

A couple o f o th e r criticism s are n o t only senseless, bu t ta s te ­less and irre levan t. Has Mr. K en­n a n ’s career really been a “ fail­ing” because his b rillian t, p rac­tical proposals w ere no t alw ays im m ediately im plem en ted by o- thers? T his c rite rio n renders C hris t, S ocra tes, W inston C hur­chill and various s tu d en t Sena­to rs failures. A nd M r. G allagher’s im plicit boast th a t he u n d e r­stands W oodrow W ilson b e tte r th an does Mr. K ennan needs no rep ly .

B ut, m oreover, I believe th a t Mr. G allagher has missed the heart o f th e m essage. Mr. K en­n a n ’s is certa in ly no t a self- righ teous, L efty D rake-type po ­lem ic. His m essage is n o t pri­m arily th a t radicals “ should not be righteously and pom pously

self-assured.” N or is it th a t h ip ­pies are “ bad peo p le” because they w ithdraw from reality . Ra­th e r , it is th a t New L eftists are bad political anim als because o f­ten they espouse v io lence, civil d isobediance, w ithdraw al from tie political process, o r m illen- arian ideas, and o ffer no a lte rna­tive to the im perfect governm ent to w hich they ob jec t. This is the s tu ff o f A risto tle and A quinas, no t o f N orm an V incen t Peale. It is not “ sim ple m inded social p h ilo so p h y .”

In reference to th e paradox i­cal conclusion , I canno t accept the idea th a t the m an w ho so percep tively analyzed the Soviet situa tion in the th irties and fo r­

ties, “ perhaps the finest p ractical theo rist o f our tim e ,” has “ an absurd ly legalistic m in d .” N or can 1 accep t th a t one o f ou r finest h isto rians o f Bolshevism suffers from a “ sim ple lack o f know ledge” in his study o f a radical leftist m ovem ent.

I th ink a b rie f re tre a t in to the shades o f academe" m ight be in o rder for the usually bright and sober Mr. G allagher.
