Senstor Clisrk speaks at Drexel; emphasizes *hunger* in America
By J im K i tchTriangle R e p o r t e r
Senator Joseph Clark (Dem., Pa.) delivered a speech to an audience of about 500 students, faculty members and administrators in DrexePs main auditorium last Friday. The address was the senator’s f ir s t regularly scheduled speech since he won renomination by defeating Rep. John Dent in the Tuesday, April 23, primary election.
Hunger in AmericaSenator C lark’s speech was,
as he put it, “ about hunger In America.” He lamented the fact that the United States can afford to spend over 80 billion dollars fighting an “ unnecessary w ar’’ 8000 miles away and yet, in his opinion, doesn’t prevent its own people from going hungry. He spoke of the“ starvation..,hunger and malnutrition” he had personally observed in M ississippi, where he saw children “ with d istorted stomachs and running eyes” who suffered from “ all kinds of diseases and hardly ever saw a doctor.”
Clark also spoke of a committee report issued under the auspices of the Subcommittee on Employment, Manpower and Poverty of the Senate Labor and Public Welfare Committee, This report, which was published just days prior to the senator’s speech, dealt with poverty and hunger in America. It cited 256 counties in the United States that have “ serious hunger problems.” It also told of malnutrition among American Indians, Eskimos and m igrant farm workers and in such regions as Appalachia, M ississippi and the ghetto areas of the large cities.
At the conclusion of his speech, the senator opened himself to questions from the floor. When asked his opinion of the divisions which exist within America today, he responded that he didn’t believe in such “ newspaper divisions” as thie “ generation gap” and an “ absolute black-white sp lit,” but rather thought that the world was comprised of two kinds of people— those “ who ca re” and those “ who don’t give a damn.” He then urged all those p resen t “ to participate in political action so that
the people who care get into public office.”
No endorsementHe was then asked if he would
endorse one of the three declared candidates for the Democratic P arty ’s nomination for P resident. In response, he stated that he “ didn’t intend to do so” and that he would “ make (his) choice on the convention floor.” (Senator Clark is a voting delegate to the Democratic National Convention.) He cited his longtime friendship with Vice-President Humphrey, the aid he had already given Senator Kennedy and the “ great admiration” he had for Senator ^^C arthy and what he is trying to do. To supporte r s of the latter he said, “ If I were in your shoes, I’d work my head off for McCarthy r i ^ t th ro u ^ to the convention!”
When questioned as to his opinion of what was termed “ the Administration’s footshuffling” over a site for Vietnam peace talks, Clark said that State Department officials were now “ behind the eight-ball” because someone had been “ shooting off about us going anywhere, anytime for talk .” He said that he thinks Pnom Penh is a political
ly undesirable site, but that Warsaw is “ fine for u s” and that it was rejected because the U.S. would “ lose face” if it had to go to a Communist country to negotiate. He admitted that U.S. war policy has been “ totally inconsistent” with our political policy and he stated that he believes

Building plans remain stalled because of Federal Court order
A federal injunction has been filed against Drexel by the Powel- ton Civic Homeowners Association, The injunction is designed to curtail Drexel expansion in the area of Powelton Village which is known as University City Area 5.
The Area 5 sector includes the land bordered by Market Street and Powelton Ave. between 34th and 35th Streets, Drexel plans to develop an extended campus in this area by 1975.
The lower part of Area 5 was obtained in negotiations with the Sealtest Milk Co, In that p art of the section, it is planned to build a m ulti-story parking facility. This project is now in the final planning stages.
O n t h e n e w s s c e n e
The remainder of the Area will be used for the erection of four dormitory complexes and a dining building. It is hoped that this facility will create a campus tj^e atmosphere in the area.
The present status of the injunction is nebulous. To date the legal proceedings have neither been accepted or rejected. The present effect of the injunction has been to restrain the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development from disbursing additional funds to redevelop the Area 5 sector of the Village. Current efforts in this section, however, are still proceeding and no cancellation of plans has been necessary.
Drexel is not specifically named in the action before the Redevelopment Agency. Its connection might be described as
that of an interested third party, because it will either benefit from or will be inconvenienced by the outcome of the litigation.
The city of Philadelphia has requested the court to order a bond posted in the amount of $20 million by the Homeowners to cover damages in case they lose their appeal. This move

The idea was conceived by Norm Smith and Gene Allen, members of the class of ’69, who have been unofficially re searching the feasibility of such a gift for several months. Since It took several years for Drexel to obtain Lancaster Avenue through the formal clty-college channels, they believed that the student body, might be more successful in influencing the city to close off 32nd Street.
They proceeded to contact acquaintances In city government and related activities, Including, the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce and asked them if such an undertaking could be successful. The answers were affirmative, based on the condition that proper support and enthusiasm could be obtained from the students.
“ Although we have no definite committments from the city,” stated Allen, “ we have reason to be very optimistic that the class, If willing, can get the street. The men we have contacted are pre pared to give us the proper guld-

Well, i t ’s over today. Student government campaigning has set a precedent this year that probably won't have an opportunity to be perpetrated. From some of the reactions that I have observed, I fear that campaigning nextyear will be greatly regulated; posters on bulletin boards (standard size) and banners may be the limitations, This would be a shame, and I hope that it does not happen.

upset with the conglomeration of posters everywhere you look, you must admit that you are, for the first time, really aware of student government elections. If this is the result, then the two weeks of display is worth it.
You may be wondering about the significance of the large male-female symbolic sex buttons with the date May 9, 1969 on them. No, this is not the opening date for outdoor love season. Actually, it represents this year’s HOME ECONOMICS DAY which has the theme “ Making Man’s Future Today.” How the symbolism on the button correlates with the theme, I leave to your imagination. I can tell you, however, that when I asked what the relationship was, some Home Ec Day officials gave me some pretty strange smiles. The program will begin at 10:30 a.m. and will feature Dr. Wilton Krog- man, Director of the Philadelphia Center for Research in Child Growth and Professor Daniel Prescott, Institute for Child Study of the University of Maryland.
Spring Prom plans are finalized (almost) and the dance is only two weeks away. The price is $5 a couple and will be at the Cherry Hill Inn in New J e r sey. Music will be provided by the Joel Scott Orchestra and London Lee will provide entertainment by telling you how difficult it is growing up as a rich kid. London has made many appearances on the Ed Sullivan Show and Merv Griffin Show. The Prom Committee has managed to obtain a few discounts on tuxedoes and corsages. If you say you are from Drexel when you go to Glah Brothers at 69th Street in Upper Darby, they’ll give you a $2 discount. You can get an orchid corsage from La Penna Flowers for $3,50; if you phone in the order, they will deliver the flower to the D AC on Friday afternoon, May 17. The committee is not exactly sure about this but they’re try ing to round up some door prizes. If you have any old Christmas presents that you have no use for, drop them off at the Student Program Board office of the DAC. Seriously though, they did tell me that "the prizes would be somewhere between a box of chocolates and a round-trip bus ticket to Ocean City on Memorial Day,

A couple of weeks ago, a Student Activities Fund questionnaire was distributed to a random 200 students who were asked their opinion of the financial allocations that Drexel makes to ex tra-curricu la student activities. Alpha Kappa Phi, the business administration service fraternity, is coordinating the survey for student congress and have received, to date, a 50% return and asked me to request anyone who received one of these questionnaires to complete and return it soon.
Next weekend, the Student Program Board has scheduled two concerts.

that “ to mount an operation called ‘Complete Victory Around Saigon’ is almost laughable.»»
The senator was next questioned as to his opinions on such issues as amnesty for those A m erica n s em igrating to Canada to avoid the draft, the channeling of manpower into “ des ir a b le " occupations and what is being done about obtaining the r e le a s e of the spy-ship Pueblo and its crew. He stated that he “ deplores the fact that they (A m erican refugees in Canada) feel i t ’s necessary” to go, but sa id that he has “ no strong feelings on the subject” of amnesty. He further stated that he favors tax-benefits and social measures which would induce people to enter certain fields and deter them from entering other “ less desirable” ones,
Pueblo incidentIn response to the question
about the Pueblo incident, Clark stated that he ‘‘feels certain the ship was in international waters at the time of the capture” but that “ we were spread so thin in South Vietnam that we were militarily unable to prevent the capture.”
Other 'questions asked of the senator included what he th o u ^ t of the student take -over at Columbia and what effect he thought the presence of Governor George Wallace of Alabama would have on the presidential contest. Senator Clark said that he “ doesn’t think there is any excuse for the use of violence” on the campus and that he is opposed to any amnesty for the participating students.
Wallace's effectClark said that he thinks Wal
lace “ may ca rry five or six southern s ta te s” and “ maybe even a northern state or two.” He thinks the possibility exists that Wallace might even throw the election into the House of Representatives and that this would be a “ very serious situation.” He said that he thinks “ we should have amended the Constitution long ago” to provide for the popular selection of a President.
Asked for his views on the present draft laws, Clark re plied, “ I think the ultimate thing must be to eliminate the draft.” He called it * ‘absolutely ridiculous” to maintain a 2.4 million man arm y. He favored an “ immediate and drastic cut-back in U.S. m ilitary forces right now” and said “ we should stop letting the Pentagon set our policy” and ‘*tell them (the Penta-

The final question asked of the senator was whether he fevered the lowering of the voting age to eighteen. In reply, Senator Clark stated that he not only favored such action but also had a constitutional amendment of his own pending which would make such a change.
At the conclusion of the ques- tion-and-answer period, Senator Clark held a closed news conference in Drexel's vice-presidential suite.

ance; what we now need is an •organized class to s ta rt working. With the Committee of '69 (a senior cl^ss group of students recently organized) starting immediately after elections, we should have results before the graduation of our c lass.”
Norm Smith is a candidate for Senior Class president in the student government elections which end today. When asked why he waited until elections were over to announce the 32nd Street plans. Smith stated, “ There is a great deal of work remaining to successfully accomplish this project. I did not want to use it for campaign publicity as it might hamper a united class effort after elections. Unless the whole class is behind the project, it will not succeed and the work to date would be wasted.”
Smith was then asked if the project would continue if he lost the election. *‘As soon as Gene and I were fairly positive that the gift was feasible, I informed Len Fuchs (his opponent) of our progress. Len assured us that he will support the program if he wins the presidency.”
Although they admitted that the end result is still very nebulous, Allen and Smith said they wished to announce the effort in its earliest stages because much of the work will res t with the student body and the senior class. **We may fail,” they admitted, “ but we have not yet found any obstacle that will stand in our way. It’s up to the class of »69.”

Rich Lampert elected new Editor-in-Chief of Triangle
Poor People’s Campaign to solicit funds at DIT
Rich Lampert, an associate editor of The Triangle, was elected editor-in-chief of the paper for the 1968-1969 academic year. He won in what current Editor- In-Chief Pat McCullogh called “ a very close election” over Managing Editor Jack Becker and features w riter Mike Kyle.
Lampert has been on The T riangle’s staff since fall term of 1965. While on the paper, he has been copy editor, production editor, managing editor and news editor before his present job.
During the elections meeting, he told the staff, “ The best job The Triangle can do is to act as an agent to promote change. The place to work for change is around school. There are plenty of issi/es which are ripe for changes - general concept of *in loco parentis,’ some discriminatory rules on women and many items relating to academic policy.”
Becker joined the staff during the summer of 1966. As a features w riter, he conceived the
“ Dis-Credit ROTC” campaign, which ultimately gained notice in the mass media. During the campaign, he was voted membership on the editorial Board. Kyle joined the staff roughly 15 months ago, and has written features on a variety of subjects.
McCullogh commented after the votes were in, “ The vote was very close, which showed the staff’s interest in the election. I don’t think the paper could have chosen a more experienced editor.”
The Poor People’s Campaign, the basic goal of which Is to improve the substandard living conditions of the nation's poor, is scheduled to begin in early May and last as long as three months. Rev. Paul Fenske and Jack Taylor of the Drexel faculty, have started a campaign to solicit funds from faculty and students in order to support this movement.

B r a s s . . . h u m a n d i g n i t yEditor, Drexel Triangle;
As a member of the Drexel Brass Quintet and a perform er in the chamber music concert on April 23, I feel compelled to comment on the review by L arry Milask which appeared in the April 26 issue of The Triangle.
I would like to thank Mr, Milask for his interest, both in attending the concert and in writing the review (especially since the re view was probably the f irs t indication to most Drexel students that the concert took place). However, I would like to point out that M r. Milask used considerably less restra in t in his review than would seem w arranted, considering that the p e rformers in the concert were not professional musicians, but Drexel students, and considering Mr. M ilask's ra th e r limited qualifications as a music critic .
It takes a certain amount of gall to write a music review, and Mr. Milask seem s to have more than his share. His observation that pianist Arnold Os- troff made a few insignificant mistakes seemed, to me, especially unnecessary and tr ite in the l i ^ t of M r, Ostroff*s very competent and exciting perform ance, His comments on the String Trio, Woodwind Trio, and B rass Quintet betrayed a lack of understanding of how it feels for an amateur musician to sit in a very small group, in which every part is extremely important and perform in front of an audience (small though it was). Since Mr. Milask’s musical experience is prim arily that of the experienced listener, I feel that his ra ther detailed evaluation of the performances of these groups, and especially his singling out of in
dividuals for criticism, was a good deal less than fair; and until Mr. Milask is prepared to play a musical instrument in public he would do well to be more restrained in his public evaluation of a musician’s performance.
Perhaps Mr. Milask thought he was doing the musicians a favor in pointing out flaws in their performances. If so, I would like to assure him that the Brass Quintet, at least, was quite aware of all the flaws he pointed out, as well as some he couldn’t dream of, before his review was published. And I would like to assure him that our hornist is quite capable of playing a fortissimo that would knock him right off his c ritic 's chair.

After checking around Powelton Village, including all the dorms and fra ts, I couldn’t locate one single transm itter on my portable radio. I even asked one of their perennial members, only to receive a blank stare and an “ I don't know.” Another member was so bold as to state that he knew one or two transm itters were in operation this term, but he didn’t know exactly where!
What kind of a farce is this organization trying to perpetrate? And what about the thousands of dollars it gets from the Activities Committee each term? Someone better look into this quick! Personally, I remain bugged.

Finally we must be cognizant of the special relationship which America’s blacks have towards the world struggle of colored people. America’s black people can and will be of signal importance for the world wide struggle, for their success, failure or Indifference will be closely observed by the res t of the world. Very simply, if America’s blacks succeed in their quest for human dignity through the doctrine of Black Power, America’s whites will live. If self- determination succeeds it will be because there has been a rude awakening on the part of America’s white liberals. This new perception will hopefully influence the U.S.’s response to th« non-Western world’s attempt to gain self-determination for

themselves.
Should the blacks in this country fail - that is, be put down by the unknowing white liberals, the result will be a hardening of America’s re* sponse to the black people of this country and the colored people of the world. Destructive guerilla warfare in this country and the international isolation of the U.S. in a seb of hostile faces with the eventual economic and politi* cal demise of the U.S. will be the ultimate conclusion.
The third and last possibility is that the blacks in this country might, for whatever reason, never effectively orga-
^nize, but rather opt to be coopted into the present system. Co-opting would undoubtedly entail the blind vindication of America ’s dysfunctional beliefs and goals v is-a-vis the world. The ultimate outcome will again be a hostile attitude against the U.S. and most particularly against America’s blacks. The final demise of America will again be the eventual conclusion.
“ The questions which one asks oneself begin, at last, to illuminate the world, and become one’s key to the experience of others. One can only face in others what one can face in oneself. On this confrontation depends the measure of our wisdom and compassion. This energy is all that one finds in the rubble of vanished civilizations, and the only hope for ou rs...” (James Baldwin, “ Nobody Knows My Name” )

G ym C ro w ?T h is week has seen the end of
a much misunderstood student
demonstration. No person who ex
posed him self to the mass media
could avoid the barrage of rhetoric
on Clolumbia U nivers ity 's week-
long problem.In it s reporting, the nation’s
media was much more guilty of
bias than we have ever been ac cused of. Reports during the
course of the demonstration set
the number of participants at
s lightly over 200. When the police
moved in shortly after dawn one
fine morning, nearly 600 were
arrested while others went free.
\ t all points in the discussion^
the “ v io len ce” of the “ mob” was
deplored. A good example was the
report that the buildings held by
the “ militant a c t iv i s t s ” had been
rifled and records had been de
stroyed. When police cleared
President Kirk’s office they found
that damage was neglig ible — a
slat of the Venetian blind was
bent.
Worst of all , perhaps, was co l
umnist Drew P earson’ s attempt at
a solution. After a lleging that
some students in the S.D.S. were
Communist C hinese inspired
(cringe) he p assed on “ the f e e l
ing of some educators” that the
troublemakers should be cleared
out to make room for other people
who would appreciate a co l lege
education more. Since these grate
ful students did not make it in on
a competative b asis , they could
only lower the sch oo l’s standards,
fiut then, co l lege isn’t meant to
encourage independent thought
anyway, right?As demonstrations gOj it had
good and bad points. We think it
somewhat unfortunate that stu
dents who were not the target of
the demonstration were made to
suffer. If p o ss ib le , the adminis
tration alone should have been
inconvenienced. A lso , we feel
that the last demand, amnesty, was unfounded. Civ'l d isobed
ience implies some compliance
with the law. Having broken rules
that they feel are incorrect they
should take any punishment short
of expulsion as a demonstration
of s incerity .On the other hand, we must
compliment them on the se lec t ion
of aims. We need not go into the
morality of campus defense re
search. Their other demand, e v i
dencing their concern and empathy
with the black community which
surrounds the co l lege , can only
be cal led beautiful. If we can be
l ieve thfe media enough to trust
that Stokley Carmichel and Rap
Brown put in appearances, we
might have seen the barest begin
ning of an a ll iance that would
change the United States — stu
dents and b lacks .

Christianity, C o m m u n is m , Capitalism and Civil Rights as issues, controversies, goals, aims, etc. are dead. With their cessation of life has come a loss of faith in their respective moralities. Western man has s u s p e n d e d faith in his own humanity; he has become in Reis- man’s terms “ other directed” — he has substituted reverence and veneration for the institutions which he has constructed in the place of faith in himself. The effect of this commutation on the efforts of those involved in social change efforts is great and must necessitate, in Regis Debray terms, a “ Revolution in the Revolution.»»
To the consternation and disbelief of many Americans (mainly middle class whites and Negroes) the fiasco of the “ deus ex machina” Civil Rights and Poverty Legislation of the sixties has planted the seeds for
GUILE
such a revolution in the revolution—the Demand for Human Dignity. Intertwined in the demand for human dignity is the right of self-determination. Thus, out of the m isdirected cry for integration, b ro ther- ' hood and equality has come the cry of BLACK POWER. Black Power in its sim plest formulation is self-determ ination for black people through control of the political, social and economic institutions in their communities. That young blacks are becoming increasingly sup- portative of this demand is evident; that the m iddle-class is becoming increasingly confused and disquieted by this demand and its increasing support is also evident. It is this dichotomy which prompted Hamilton and Carmichael to add the following postscript to their book BLACK POWER:
“ This book presents ... (an) ideology which represents the last reasonable opportunity for this society to work out its racial problems short of prolonged destructive guerilla warfare.
For the benefit of the apathetic but involved and the involved but incredulous student I will attempt to give some in ternational relevance to demand for human dignity and the possible alternative—guerrilla warfare; or why it is the vested in terest of the Western powers to cease their hindrance of man’s (including Western man’s) quest for human dignity.
If a man is , as A ristotle claims, a political animal, then the overriding concept to be im printed is that, as Duverger notes in “ The Idea of P o litics” :
By Frank Robinson
“ The main stake in the is power, since holding , confers vital advantage... we must note a c o n ^ historical fact: political^ is economic power. This i even for those nations which se ss nuclear armaments , excepting the possibility madman, nuclear weapons not be an instrument of wi
ment as part of the West, we find an excellent commentary by Duverger on the contemporary scene. “ Western governments often resemble some child-king, a docile plaything in the hands of the great feudal lords. In a purely capitalist regime political power scarcely exists as such; it is little more than a reflection of the economic power; the d is-

tinction between the two is only a real one in mixed regim es. Furthermore, the concentration of economic power in the hands of a few large firm s means that the picture of a multiplicity of autonomous ‘decision cen te rs’ is deceptive. The connection between private ownership and political pluralism is not as clear as it is said to b e ,” Extending this economic domination to the rest of the world has resulted in a monumental block to the economic advancement of two
TRIANGLE REPARTEEI n v o l v e m e n t i n t h e p r o b l e 111
Editor, Drexel Triangle:Several weeks ago at an English De
partment faculty meeting, one of the instructors asked an administration official why more black students werenH at Drexel. The official unflinchingly replied that Drexel has no discrimination against black students. “ But we don't,” he said, “ get many £^plicants from qualified Negro students or, for that matter, qualified Negro faculty members,** The instructor then asked why Drexel, unlike some other institutions (e.g.. Temple and Tufts) had no “ Upward Bound*’ program, a program designed to prepare underprivileged black students for Drexel. The official explained that Drexel is a private institution: “ The government hasn’t given us any money, and we can*t move on such aprogram until it does. Should we do so without government money, we would weaken Drexel’s high standards of education. I think you can carry this service thing too far. We would only hurt ourselves if we did.’*
Here, clearly stated, is the racial poUcy at Drexel. It is the traditional racist attitude of the white establishment toward the black man. Not that the official o r the rest of the administration hate the black man. But the administration refuses to admit any re - sponsibiUty for the disadvantaged black. Such unwillingness is morally indefensible today. “ The white man is deeply impU cated in the ghetto,” the Kerner Com mission reports. Not just because the black man suffers and deserves human compassion. But because the white man has caused the ghetto. Because every white man who aUows the ghetto to exist for one minute more causes the ghetto.
The official’s statement abjures re- sponsiblity. lt*s assumptions, also are highly debatable. His excuse that Drexel would “ lower its standards’* by admitting inadequately prepared black students, by giving them scholarships, or by funding an Upward Bound program is not necessarily logical. Drexel may
possibly have to give up its ambitions for a graduate program o r more buildings but why should it have to lower standards for the majority of its students? Bringing more underprivileged students into D rexePs program may in fact enrich it,
A more im portant consideration, however, is the need for the white man and the white man’s private institutions to suffer; somebody besides the black man must suffer if the injustice of his situation is to be destroyed. F o r the white man, suffering means sacrificing, in part, benefits that the (white) affluent society has given him—none of which, by the way, he has earned. Among these benefits is a high quality of education. Again, DrexePs sacrifice may be minimal. But if the white man is unwilling to suffer in this way, minimally, then the black man’s tragedy will grow so turbid that it will suck us all, innocent and guilty, into its ethos of despair and destruction. In that case, what good will D r e x e l ’ s
“ high standards” be to anybody? What good will “ technology” be to our culture? F a r better to sacrifice high s t a n d a r d s
slightly— to be compassionate— than tobe irrelevant.
Yet Drexel has exhibited a singular lack of compassion——in its innocuous reaction to Martin Luther King’s death, in its obtuse handling of land in Powelton Village, in its admitted refusal to grant higher education to black students. The official’s words remind one of a more famous rationalizer, who cynically muttered about truth under his breath and washed his hands of compassion—andjustice.
Concerned Drexel faculty and s t u d e n t s
must not do the sam e. Esc£^)es are available and easy, but Involvement i n
solving the problem Is more meaningful to those who suffer. Two (of many) possibilities a re especially open to us. One i s to ask trenchant questions. WHY aren’t there more black students at Drexel- WHY does Drexel think that b e c a u s e i t
rivate” it can escape responsibility community. WHY doesn’t the ad-
tration show, if nothing else, pub- ncern for its community? TheD rex- iangle last week made a significant ibution to this questioning in Its age feature on the black student exel. But more questions need ask- nd they need to he asked relen t-

thirds of the world’s population. Since as Lipset and Rostow have demonstrated, a relatively high level of economic development Is both a prerequisite for and ultimately a force for maintaining stable pluralistic political system s, It cannot be long before the masses of the world address themselves to this fact and actively overthrow neo-colo- nlalism. Switching from economic exploitation to the second face of Janus we perceive the social and cultural destruction w ro u ^ t by the forced dissemination of Western civilization (such that it is) throughout the world. The basis of this one-way cultural exchange Is the contemporary version of the White Man’s Burden — racism.
Klndleberger In “ Economic Development” forwards two possible solutions to “ the loss of energy and capacity through rac ia l particularism ,” neither of which is very easy. “ One is the melting pot, In which cultural values and racial attitudes are fused through intermingling... This solution requires an initial degree of tolerance and a weakening of social and national characte ris tics, which are frequently impossible...The other solution is a separation or expulsion... This method is cruel, but where it is used against a privileged minority, rather than against an underprivileged group...it has the advantage of requiring the coun- try ...to do its own work. It is likely that in the very long run the capacity of the society to develop Is thereby enhanced.”
The political ideology of these wars is at present of great interest only to the U.S. The U.S. is attempting to install democratic limitations of its own imitation of democracy. The U.S. represents the major counter-revolution- ary force in the world today.

Samuel Huntingdon states that the undeveloped nations will attain political viability only when the U.S. as a world power disintegrates. America’s response to wars of dignity is a classic case o f 'the dysfunctionallty of America’s efforts In world affa irs. Duverger states, “ Plura list democracy corresponds to- a high degree of Industrialization. To say that a free people Is a rich people Is to express brutally, but without exaggeration, a fundamental truth. It is In practice Impossible to apply a pluralistic system to nations where the greater part of the population Is almost starving, uneducated and Illiterate. Under a cloak of modern procedure, the old feudal autocratic regimes still ftinction, and far from helping to destroy them, democratic processes only prolong their existence by camouflaging them.”
We must further recognize that popular wars are not communist inspired or led; they are, as Debray has expounded, based on no po iti- cal Ideology but are and must be an expression of the peoples’ particular determination of their needs and wants.
C o n t i n u e d on P a g e 5, Col. 3
The student occupation of Columbia University ended early Tuesday—in bloodshed. The cops came and panicked, like too many cops seem to In a tight spot, and the kids got hit. A reporte r showed one cop his press card from the New York Times, was ordered out,# and was hit when he refused to go.
Granted, those kids were not the apple-cheeked, wholesome^ types in a Norman Rockwell painting. They had long hair and sloppy clothes and they probably smelled funny. But you don’t smack a kid for the way he looks or smells. You smack him because he’s being unreasonable.
Now, the demonstrators had essentially taken over four or five buildings and refused to budge. It was trespassing, and it was disruptive. Clearly, Columbia University as we know it could not have functioned under such a handicap. The important question is whether Columbia University as we know it should have functioned, and therefore whether the occupation was indeed unreasonable.
It was a “ nice” schoolColumbia, up until the last
year or so, was known as a “ nice” school. The students went to class--very good classes, at that--and then, for the most part retreated to their homes, activities, or clubs. Once in a while, the campus , newspaper raised a stink, but nothing ever came of it because the kids didn’t pay much attention. Because the students didn’t evidence any interest in the overall policies of the school, the Columbia administration assumed that It could make decisions for its convenience.
Columbia really should not have been surprised when the explosion finally came. The re action of the local chapter of
Students for a Democratic Society was about what you’d expect in any society where the large mass of people have had no interest in their own affairs and then woke up.
A small group revolted. It was a nasty revolt, but most revolts tend to be extreme in their re actions.
It all boils down to the fact that the Columbia administration was asking for trouble when it neglected to let the minority of interested students speak in the policy-making bodies for the apathetic crew that inhabited and dominated most of the school.
Nothing but ill willThe real tragedy of the SDS
revolt is that the violent re volts quite often don’t leave anything in their wake except ill will. Had Columbia tried to build some sort of meaningful link to the students, the revolt would not have happened the way it did, and it would have ahd something to show for its paind.
There’s a moral in all this for Drexel. There are a few administrators who think that, by allowing students to sit on their committees, they have made themselves Immune to a Columbia type of situation at Drexel. They may just be right, but it’s by no means a sure thing.
The catch is getting the rea lly concerned students on the committees. Just because a student mentions to a fraternity brother that he’d like to be on a given committee is no reason to put him there. Once the really good student gets on a committee, it does no good unless the student has a full and meaningful say in the decisions of his committee.
In the above paragraph. I’ve set up two pretty rough criteria . The f irs t is a large burden on the Student Government, because it
By R ich Lam per t ■
requires that the officers do some digging to find people outside the “ respectable” group at Drexel who can serve with distinction. It means finding some of the silent commuters who could form the rank-and-file of an SDS type revolt and putting them in a place where they can know they’re doing some good. It will take enormous amounts of time and energy--the kind of time and energy that the candidates have expended on their election campaigns. (Or maybe the 20 to 30 hours a week some Triangle people spend.)
Changing attitudesThe task of the Student Gov
ernment Is essentially procedural, and In that sense i t’s easy. The faculty members and administrators sitting on the committees have a much tougher job; they have to change their attitudes toward students. It won’t be enough to listen politely while the child across the table speaks to his elders and betters. There will have to be a realization that a student opinion, as relatively unsophisticated as it might be (and the lack of sophistication is often not noticeable), is the kind of thinking that will appeal to the students, who, are the chief concern of any school.
I don’t know how you order a 50-year-old man with a doctorate to respect a 19-year-old who’s having a hard time with elementary thermodynamics, but the change has to come.
Drexel doesn’t have to have an SDS revolt—ever. If the Student Government uses its newly-won student seats wisely, if the students on committees fight for what they believe In, and if the older generation accepts the emancipation of the younger one, there need never be cops on our campus.
A p la c e in th e sun
If you had seen the black residents of Mantua assemble on Tuesday night, you would have been disappointed. More than twelve persons were gathered In the heart of this ghetto nelghbor- hood...and there was no shouting, no sniping, no violence. Still more discouraging was the fact that no one mentioned black power, Stokley Carmichael, Rap Brown or even riot-eager Rizzo. Could it be that black people no. longer feel racial oppression or the insatiable appetites whetted by poverty?
No—it simply means that some black people are attempting to carve a life for themselves In spite of white racism , hatred and the Impregnable Establishment. In their all too real world of naked black men against an ugly cruel man-made nature, the citizens of Mantua are striving for their place In the sun.
They have salvaged their claim on what Philadelphia, theWorld’s F air (76), the Redevelopment Authority, University of Pennsylvania and Drexel have not yet pirated from 31st up to 42nd Street; Hamilton over to Mantua Street, It’s a large chuck of West Philadelphia inhabited by approximately eighteen to twenty thousand black residents. Out of their struggle against urban re location and under the continual threat of it, the Mantua Community Planners (MCP) and Young Great Society (YGS) have emerged. These two toally In-

volved. Irrevocably committed groups are lead by Andrew Jenkins and Herman Rice along with a faithful regiment of concerned citizens.
So what was this quiet non- political assembly all about? What’s happening In Mantua? The MCP talked about community recreation facilities, schools, a bank, credit union, day care center, employment, the World’s F a ir (’76) and the Girl Scouts. Working within the sacrosanct systems and Inhuman cellular bureaucracy of City Hall, MCP amazingly Is accomplishing and projecting more programs for the future. For their place In the sun, Mantua, the residents want to convert seldom used parking lots Into basketball courts for black boys. More play space Is also planned for Mantua children by utilizing vacant buildings and lots. Working mothers have expressed a need for a child day care center for Powel- ton-Mantua children. The Mantua area at present has no such facility.
Black Power, an ideology defined and redefined so much that the meaning has become almost esoteric, encompasses economic jindependency and self-determinism. MCP has incorporated this part of CarmlchaePs theory for the liberation of twenty-two million blacks, into its planning. Already two black-owned thrift stores are retailing In this black- oriented community. These two
shops are the harbingers of more black-controlled businesses. A credit union, bank, co-op store and an insurance company are MCP’s projected plans to assist black consumers.
The list of ideas and activities goes on and on. Problems are presented; le tters are written and telephone calls are made. Committees form...but moreover, real positive action is a dally event In Mantua. H’s a happenin’ place of many problems with tentative and actual solutions. Black men and women In Mantua have not resigned themselves to the hopelessnes and despair of four hundred years In a nothingness existence. Even seemingly sincere whites are channeled Into MCP programs without hostility. Just a few blocks from DrexePs campus, there Is a community that cannot and should not be Ignored. Mantua Community Planning and the Young Great Society function for you and me. If most of their efforts are re warded with sweet successes, then there can be a swinging summ er and a stabilized society In our future. In a limited sense the American Ideals and Dr, Martin Luther King’s dreams can become realities. I’d hate to see the optimism of MCP and YGS recrystallized into another post-King selge of frustration, anger and violence. Mantua must take Its place In the sun, or that place and sun may ignite to be the fire next time.

ed The finals were held with an overcast sky and the threat of rain during most of the day. The first regular event saw Beta Nu’s Shellhammer take the 110- yard low hurdles in 13.2 seconds. Centurione from TKE came in second with a 14.0 f la t . The Pi’s Smith took a third, while Lambda Chi’s H unsecker pulled a fifth place.
The 100-yard dash saw the same four fraternities in competition. TKE’s Crombie took f irs t place’ with 11.0 seconds, with BN’s Shellhammer coming in second with 11.3. Huntsinger (LCA) and Ramsdell (SP) came in third and fourth respectively.
V a lu a b le p o i n t s
Lambda Chi and Sigma Pi were able to pick up some valuable points in the quarter-m ile dash. TKE had failed to qualify in this event and SP and LCA took the best advantage of the situation by taking a first and third re spectively. Ramsdell ran an impressive 54.1 second race for first place. Apple Pi came in second with 56.5 second run by Mansfield. Lambda Chi picked up its three points when Cummings came in third with 57.2 seconds.
The mile run also saw Lambda Chi and Sigma Pi pull out further ahead of TKE. Lambda Chi gained five points with a first place and Sigma Pi gained four points with a second. Phi Sigma Kappa, Sigma Alpha Theta and Alpha Pi Lambda finished third, fourth and fifth.Field events
Meanwhile, the field events were causing a few surprises. None of the top meet contenders faired too well in the shotput. SP’s Clemmer took a fifth place and TKE’s Candy took fourth
j with Lambda Chi failing to qual- |ify at aU. Pi Kap’s Linderman won the event with a throw of 47’2” . Hill from APL and Jacobs from Tau Epsilon Phi took second
[and third places.The broad jump saw only LCA

ra in third place with a 17’8-3/4” jump.
But the real surprise came in the high jump. Again all three contenders qualified the previous week. However, both LCA and SP could not get up high enough and came in last and fifth respectively. SAM dropped out at 5’1” and Pi Kap lost at the 5’2” mark. The contest came down to Snyder of BN, a strong favorite from last year, and Hunt from TKE, a young unknown. The bar went up to 5’8” with both jumpe r s making the height. Finally at 5’9” the contest was decided. Hunt cleared the bar on his f irs t jump but Snyder failed to do so in his three tries. TKE picked up an unexpected five points and BN a valuable four points on the excellent jumping of both men.
Relay resultsThe relays brought the meet
resu lts even closer together. The f ir s t relay was a fast 440-yard distance. Again, Sigma Pi, Teke and Lambda Chi finished with good times. SP registered a first with a time of 49.1 seconds. Teke, with its 49.8 seconds came in second and Lambda Chi, with 51.0 seconds came in third. Delta Sigma Phi and Alpha Pi Lambda were fourth and fifth.
The 440-yard steeplechase re lay saw the same three teams place. But this time LCA and SP exchanged places with LCA winning the event with a 52.6 and SP taking third with 53.1 seconds. TKE was second with 53 seconds flat.
Down to the finish
The final race was the mile relay. Again some surprises were in store. TKE had won the prelim s with a 3:55.4 time. LCA was closely behind with a 3:56.2 time. All other teams, including Sigma Pi, ran the event in over 4 minutes. But the Pi’s were up this week and ran an amazing 3:48.7 mile. Apple Pi came in second
with another good time, 3:51.0. TKE took third (3:53.0) and Lambda Chi fourth (3:54.8). Pi Kap with a 3:56.7 came in fifth. An all-around good race.
With all events finished except the decathlon competition. Sigma Pi led the meet with 29 points. Lambda Chi Alpha and Tau Kappa Epsilon were tied for second with 27 points each. The meet would clearly be decided by the decathlon event.
Huntsinger vs. Crombie
And the contest here was as tight as the rest of the meet. The decathlon consists of six events: the 110-yard low hurdles, the 100-yard dash, the 440-yard dash, the shotput, the highjump, and the broad jump. Lambda Chi’s Wayne Huntsinger and TKE’s Ed Crombie dominated most of the action in this test of individual strength and ability.
The 110-yard lows saw Huntsinger take the event with a 14.1 second time. Close behind him, Crombie and Becker from Sigma Pi tied for second with a 14.2. The 100-yard dash was next with Delta Sigma Phi’s Hoburg taking first with 10.8. Huntsinger again beat out Crombie by running an 11.0 race compared to TKE’s 11.2.
The field events for the decathlon were almost a free-for- all, The h i^ jump saw excellent jumping by APL, who won the event with a jump of 5’8” . Huntsinger tied with Stankus from BN for second with a jump of 5’7” . Crombie, however, did poorly in this event, jumping only 5’0” . At this point Huntsinger led Crombie by elevent points In the decathlon scoring.
But the shotput was next and Crombie more than made up for the difference. With a throw of 43’1” , Crombie was far ahead of his competition. Beta Nu scored second with 38’ 10-1/4” and Huntsinger threw the shot 36’ 11-1/4” . _________

Huntsinger shines
And once again it was Hunt- singer’s turn to shine. After jumping 19’ 3 /4” , Huntsinger fouled out twice. But his first jump was enough. Delta Sig jumped 17’ 4-3 /4” and TKE managed a 17’ 1-3/4” , The contest was definitely narrowed down to Lambda Chi and TKE. The next event would determine the meet
champions.The 440-yard dash proved to
be one of the most exciting events of the day. Crombie ran an excellent race and came in first with a fast 56.6 second time. But Huntsinger wasn't far behind with a 59,4. The crucial question was, “ Was Crombie’s time fast enough to overcome his point deficit?

than All-MAC College Division Southern Conference—and that Is no lie. Also, by being a member of his fraternity team he is helping that organization achieve a pedestal in Drexel athletics, and it’s not the MAC College Division Southern Conference Championship. No, i t ’s the IF Cup, a trophy which is displayed, with pride.
Every fraternity man on this campus aims his efforts at ttiis prestigious piece of metal. This is what brings about that tre mendous fraternity league you spoke of. The fraternity athletic contests on this campus are packed with inspiration and excitement solely because every member participating wants to be there and likewise give his best effort.
You also said that a student cannot divide his loyalties. Well, Sam, at Drexel Tech that is a problem. Fraternity athletes are one hundred per cent loyal to their chapter and the IF competition, because it is this body which gives them the athletic atmosphere which they sought from the school and could not find.
Since I have been here, I have seen dozens of men give up school ball to shift their allegiance to their Greek organization. This is a handsome fact considering in most of these cases an athletic
A Quaker was askedf “For whom does the beUtoU?”“And who cares? Three billion people. 146 countries. 228 religions. Five races. Too much. Too different. How far can tolerance stretch?” The Quaker answered, “Forget tolerance. Every one of those three billion shares one thing with you. He’s human. So by definition we share most things in common. We love, we hurt, w e think, we hunger, we die. And when one of us is hurt, it opens the way for all of us to be. For whom does the bell toll? It tolls for thee.”
The world is so crowded tha t . . .we live closer than ever to each other. Friends believe “God hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dw'ell on all the face of the earth.” That makes for a pretty big family. But, then, look how many brother’s keepers w'e could all have. If we’d try.
hriends feel that if they share the light of God with all men, they should hold out a hand to those in whofn it tiiay not be ea s i ly v i s ib le — the down- and-outers, the ones out of the niainstream of a prosperous society.

scholarship was involved Ann Sam, just as you said, most of these could have gained startini positions on their respective var sity teams. So something is m atter. A student enters Drexpi with very little notion of whj athletics are like here. He’s no prejudiced in anyway. It’s the de- velopments which take place after he begins to perform on an inter collegiate level that sway him ij his thinking and lead him astray
Also, if varsity sports are supported at all, it is the fra. tern ities which have given it this support. I am not apologiz. ing for the poor turn-out at most athletic events; I am just stating that if these events are at all supported, it is the Greek com- munity who should get the ma- jority of the credit.
Yes, Sam, it is a sad situa- tion. And it is unfortimate that a man Uke you had to contend with it. But believe me, it is not the fault of the fraternity men.You know, a w is e o ld Drexel coactionce said, “ You can’t get race horses with jackass money.” in my way of thinking—that goes for athletic program s as well

S o f t b a l l games can be won on pitching, hitting, opportunism, or sheer talent. Softball champion-
; are won on talent. This
pastships are
weekend, SP, TKE, and DSPs h o w e d championship credentials in remaining undefeated, while APL and SAT used hitting to re main in contention.
SP 5, PSK 1Sigma Pi, behind the three
hit pitching of Gary Kemp, breezed by PSK, 5-1, to remain undefeated. The defending champions scored four runs in the f irs t and then coasted to victory as Kemp’s pitching and the typically tight defense held the Phi Sig’s to a lone run. F red Richardson and Dave Krahn paced Sig Pi>s ten hit attack with two hits apiece. In the tough blue league, Sig Pi looks invincible.
APL 12, P K P 8<‘Apple-pie»’ flexed its mus
cles to overpower previously undefeated PKP, 12-8. APL used a bases loaded trip le by Chuck Souder in the f irs t inning to
jump ahead 6-0. PKP closed the gap to 6-5 before the Apple- pies exploded for four runs in the fifth to seal the victory. Jim McCasky and Joe Yanoshikpaced the winners with three hits apiece while catcher Frank V ^niarek had two hits and three RBPs for the Pi Kaps.
TKE 9, SAM 3George Pavoni showed Sammy
why he is considered the best pitcher in IF competition. No Sammies passed first base until the fifth as Pavoni pitched seven strong innings to give the Tekes their second victory without a loss. Teke scored three runs in the f irs t and were comfortably in the lead throughout, Walt Shepard and Gary Hoffman had two hits apiece for SAM.
DSP 8 LCA 7LCA tried to complete an un

by the Dragons as Ed Myers passed from the right to Bill Reed on the crease, and a shuffle-shot broke the ice, scoring- wise. Drexel held on to its one- point lead and dominated the ball and the action until the final seconds of the period.
With 53 seconds left, O 'Brien tied the game for F&M when he scored unassisted. On the following face-off, the Stick-men gained possession of the ball and began their attack. Keyes got the ball and dodged his de- fenseman and scored unassisted to end the period for Drexel.
The Stickmen tallied their third goal early in the second period on an extra-man offense play. Down- by-one, F&M could not contain the Dragons, and at 1;15 in the quarter Drexel led 3-1 as Keyes passed to Tim Hall who fired a shot into the goal. Moments later, the situation was reversed, and F&M took advantage of DrexePs predicament. A m idfield-to-at- tack combination netted the visitors a goal, and the Dragons now led 3-2. Late in the period, F&M attackman Becker s c o r ^ his second of three goals when he scored unassisted on the home-
squad goalie and tied the game at the half, 3-3.
Keyes u n ass is tedBoth squads scored lone goals
during third-quarter action. Center middie Barry Keyes broke the half-time tie for Drexel when he gained possession of the ball on the opening face-off, broke for the goal, and scored one- on-one against the F&M goalie. Moments later, F&M bounced back to stalemate the game as creaseman Becker passed to O’Brien, who zipped the net for the score. Neither squad could m uster any additional threat, and the quarter ended, 4-4.
Franklin and Marshall erased the tie-score when Becker scored on a fast-break play in the opening seconds of the final period. The seesaw action continued, and Drexel evened the score moments la ter. At 3:25 minutes, Larry Halvorsen circled the goal from the left and passed to fellow-at- tackman Reed who scored on a quick-stick shot. The game re mained at 5-5 until late in the period, when Black on the attack dodged his man and passed the ball to O'Brien who fired his shot past the Dragon goalie to secure F&M*s firs t victory over Drexel in five years, 6-5.
in the sixth. LCA then rallied for six runs in the top of the seventh but ran out of steam one run short. Right fielder Wayne Gersen had three hits, including a home run for the Delta Sigs, while Rick Balassaitis pitched six strong innings for the Gold league leaders.
SAT n , P L P 7
SAT surprised Pi Lam with ten quick runs in the first two innings and coasted home to their second victory of the year. The upstart SAT capitalized on six Pi Lam e rro rs and timely hitting by Gary Knapp and Tom Mendenhall to dominate the game . Sorn and Bair paced the Pi Lam hitters with two hits apiece.

After having tied it up at 6-6 in the seventh inning, Drexel fell behind 7-6 going into the ninth. Sterk singled and Diana walked to set the stage for Piersanti, who rifled a shot down the left field scoring the winning runs. This had to be one of the most exciting games since last year’s La Salle game when Drexel won 4-2 on a bases loaded single by—you guessed iti—Tony Piersanti.
Earlier in the week, the Dragons hosted PMC and came away victorious 3-0. John Ward fired a five-hitter, walking one and fanning e i ^ t . Although Drexel was also limited to five hits, they made them count for three runs. Joe Syrnick and Tony P ier

Piersanti bats team to victory
Tony (Siarks) Piersanti gained top honors this week with the hit that won this Saturday’s La Salle game. It was a tight game with Drexel on the sm aller end of a 7-6 score when the bottom of the ninth rolled around. There -A-as one out and a man on first and second when Tony, the Penn- sauken powerhouse, stepped up to the plate. He smashed out a booming double, driving in the two nins which won the game for Drexel by a score of 8 to 7. P renous to this he had a single and trip le, giving him three big hits for five times at the plate.
Tony’s hitting has been consistent during this e n t i r e season.
For 34 times at bat he has had 13 hits, including three doubles
and three trip les, and h a s driven home ten runs for an a v e ra g e of
.382. Not only does he excel in
baseball, but tiiis sluggu .g fielder is a natural ath le te and
possesses a brilliant and highly honored personality. This new honor of Triangle Player of the Week is well deserved by Tony for his contribution to Dragon
