Dr. Clyde De BarryOK's Black Power

By JANET GODARDStaff Writer

"Negro means slavery.watermelons. rapist and in-feriority," according to BlackPower advocate Dr. ClydeDe Barry.

Dr. De Barry spoke to 45

students, one fifth of themNegro at a meeting sponsoredby the Oregon State UniversityYoung Republicans. He spokewith a slight southern accentsprinkled with four letterwords

Dr DeBarry is a Universityof Oregon professor In theSchool of Social Sc i e neeEducation He is the WesternRegional Director ofCOREtCongress of RacialEquality). DeBarry also directsthe school desegregationresearch and training center atthe U. of 0

"We have chosen the nameblack for ourselves." he said."It has no bad connotations."

"Each one of us needsdecision making power Forexamp.e, you have decided togo to OSU Black people haveto go to college where the whiteman takes in a certain numberof niggers or on athleticscholarships. Blacks cannotmake decisions." he stressed.

The American governmentfails to address itself t oblackness and to poorness.DeBarry said.

"Don't mix black with whiteIs the name of the Americangaine." DeBarry summarized.

DeBarry vehemently de-nounced the idea that "thegovernment has to do for theblack people what it has donefor 400 years for the white."

"This idea assumes that weare incapable and n o n -creative." DeBarry said. "Thegovernment is doing for us likethey did for the American In-dians

"We have to do our ownbootstrap operation. The lousystinking government povertyprograms make too m anyblunders to pacify 'the animalsin the zoo"' he said "The blackcats are locked off of decision

making boards.""The key word is control,"

DeBarry said as he proceededto spell the word out, "Black;people must control what'stheirs."

"Power is held collectively.it's not an individual thing."DeBarry said. "It was neverone white man in a wagongoing west," he illustrated.

"Just as the whites bandtogether to protect their (muinterests, we must protect ourinterests. Our downfall hasbeen working as individuals,"DeBarry pointed out

When asked if he was infavor of segregation. DeBarryexploded. "hell, look at itanyway."

DeBarry explained the nation-state concept. 'Having four orfive all black states would beone solution short of civil war."he said

' Bussing is not the key,"DeBarry asserted. "It i ssimply an artificial physicalarrangement of kids." Integra-tion and civil rights are deadsubjects he Indicated.

DeBarry said that 58 percentof the casualties in Vietnamwere blacks or LatinAmericans.

He concluded from this thatNegros should, "shoot the guynext to you and that will endthe war

"If the U S. were really in-terested in social equality, wewould pull white troops nut ofVietnam and put them in SouthAfrica," he said.

In the next two monthsDeBarry said he will becomea superintendent of a ghettoschool district in "the fourthlargest city in America."

He will employ black ad-ministrators. The students "willlearn from seeing black peoplemake decisions," he said.

"George Washington was agreat cat during the Revolution.He did things up pretty well."DeBarry commented. "StokelyCharmichael is talking almostlike George Washington did in1776." DeBarry plans to teachthis in the schools

"Whites cannot be involvedwith us They are domineeringand there is a big job in thewhite suburbs." DeBarry said."You stay on your side of thefence." he advised

DeBarry sees racial harmony"many years from now as ameeting of two equal power

He also sees a reuniting ofthe Negroes in America andthose in Africa. The "hack toblack" movement is aimed atdestroying the image of theblack savage illustrated byTarzan on television, DeBarrystated.

Dr. Martin Luther KingKilled In Memphis He tel

Dr. Martin Luther King, Negro peace leader, we: shotin the neck at his Memphis Tennessee Hotel late this aft.'moon and died at S p.m. PST.

Authorities found a highpowered rifle two blocks fromthe incident. tie suspects have. been arrested and polkean still investigating.

King was about to dine out with friends who werewaiting in the lobby. They heard the shot, and finally investigated when King failed to appear, finding him seriouslywounded.

The reaction of Memphis Negroes was dazed and cryingpeople. Sniper firing and general unrest in the Negro seclion followed the killing in both Memphis and Birmingham,Ala. King was a propoent of nonviolence and had saidearlier he would die for his cause.

National guard troops numbering 4000 were called intoMemphis. A curfew was imposed in the city for tonight.These actions were ordered by Governor Ellington ofTennessee.

President Johnson, enroute to Hawaii, remained in thecontinental United States last night but may continue thismousing depending on the results of the investigation.

Is it any dif-ferent?

The Rev. King is the latestin the long chain of racialmurder. He was a man of con-science and faith. a man whobelieved in the potentialgreatness of his country, andthat black and white could livetogether in peace.

He was committed to non-violence, feeling that it was theonly ethical means of makinga revolution within his society.

If we rise now to thechallenge of non-violent change,there may still be time tocreate a new society into which

President Jensen endedspeech saying. "Let not ti.'death of Martin Luther Kinghave been in vain."

Mathematics professor HarryGoheen read a poem writtenby Paul Laurence Dunbar thatseemed more than appropriatein honor of Dr. King. Dunbar'spoem is "Frederick Douglas."

Lines included:"He died in action with his

armor on!""He dared the lightning in

the lightning's track a n danswered thunder with histhunder hack."

King's death was localized byseveral of the speakers.

Calhoun said. "I'm honoredto be here and proud to bea black man. All white menwho preach bigotry are asguilty as the one who pulledthe trigger that killed Dr. King.

"I believe in the teachingsof freedom and brotherhood.

"But it seems today that theblack man has no place in thissociety and ne future to lookto"

Calhoun continued, " ' Y o u

can" rationalize and place theblame on the man who pulledhe trigger. We're all guilty."

II' blamed white racism forKing's death.

Calhoun asked "every whiteindividual in this country tosearch his soul."

He said that riots are takingplace for the same reasonMartin Luther King is nowdead.

"White America had betterwake up." Calhoun warned.

"I would like to be able toshout 'Free at last. Free atlast. God Almighty, we're freeat last.' "

"And it will he followed byan armed and military state_If that happens. we can allkiss goodbye to the lastthreadbare remnants of our oldAmerican ideals."

Dr. Shaw said the a.ssassinaGan along with the riots gave

us a clear warning to get towork.

"Somebody has got to moveover." the history professor'versed.

The service ended with thesong, "We Shall Overcome." asthe crowd including t h espeakers clasped hands.

As the students, faculty andtownspeople sang the well-known civil rights song, cer-tainly they hoped and wonderedif black and white will everywalk hand in hand someday.

OSU NegroesWant RespectVia Education

By LYNN GUERINStaff Writer

"We don't want to be ac-cepted by the white man, justrespected and this can be donethrough education," explainedJim Murray. Oregon StateUniversity student, on "Speak-ing Out."

Murray, along with two otherOSU Negro students, ClaytonCalhoun and Camille Williams,answered questions from theCorvallis community and OSUstudents Wednesday evening onthe OSU Speech D e p t .

sponsored television program"Speaking Out."

All three continually stressedthat education was the primaryway in which the Negro inAmerica could help themselves.

"Those Negroes who becomeeducated will then turnthemselves into the slums andghettos and help the poor Negro

t gain a proper place in society,"Murray said.

Calhoun commented that no; matter how much the black- man attains, he will still bet considered black and will, remain isolated.

"The white people of this na-tion must change their attitudeand search their souls to realizethat the black man is not underthem." continued Calhoun.

"I am a human being first,a black man second," Calhounrepeated stressing that equalitybetween the races must herealized and respected.

Murray indicated that the oldmyth of the black man wantingto live with the white man ontheir terms is no longer true.Now, he said, the new blackman wants only to be treatedlike a human being with achance to be someone in theAmerican society and system.

A question was asked con-cerning a Negro athlete on theOSU track team who was forc-ed to cut his hair by BernieWagner. the track team coach.

Calhoun, disapproving of thisstudent's actions, commented,"In the past. the Negro hasbeen ashamed of his hair andhas kept it short and tried tostraighten it to look more likewhites.

"We are now pround ofourselves and our distinctivefeatures and I don't think thisNegro should have bowed tothe orders of the coach."

The three students pointed

out that the white man mustbe willing to accept the cultureof the black man and their hairis part of it.

"Black Power is economicpower, social power a n dpolitical power, ex plainedMurray.

All of these will be gainedby education until a time comeswhen there will be no way theblack man can be pushed aside.Murray continued. lie saidthrough this the Negro will beable in significantly competewith whites on all levels.

Miss Williams said, "Thewhite community is responsiblefor the Negro slums and ghettosbecause when the Negros werefreed over 100 years ago, theylacked the skills to betterthemselv,:s and the whites havenever nade any effort to helpthem

"I can't condone r i o t sbecau: even though they arenow th only way people canbe heart', many Negros alwaysget killed," Calhoun continued.

The students realize thatviolence is not the solution tothe racial problem, but rather,they stressed again, education.

"We all must now study andevaluate what can be done tostop the rioting rather than justlook at it as civil disobedienceand ignore the real reasons,"concluded Miss Williams andCalhoun.

Poverty In Oregon r

Indians Unaware

Of AssistanceBy DENNIS NELSON

of the Emerted

On August 13, 1958 thefederal government*erminated their supervisionovir the 2.086 Indians af-filiated with the Klamath In-dian Reservation inSouthwestern Oregon. A littleover seven years ago Indianswho wished to leave the tribewere paid approximately$50.0000 apiece with trustfunds established for minors.

About 75 per cent of thetribe elected to collect thismoney. The rest left theirshare with Tribal Manage-ment Council Fund where themoney is invested and profitsdistributed to membersquarterly. Today most of themoney paid out ..lirectly isgone. Many Indian familiesare still living off everdecreasing remnants re-tained by friends or paymentsto minors when they comeat age.

Despite the loss of the"free' money very few In-dians are on the publicwelfare rolls of the KlamathCounty Welfare Department.According to the welfaredepartment many might beeligible but have not appliedfor assistance. It is difficultto say why these people havenot applied for it is clearthere are many in t h e

Klamath Falls area who needassistance.

One explanation of thisproblem might be that manyof the Klamath Indians havemoved from the Klamatharea. Many have inter-mar-ried into the white communityId have taken their placeas active citizens.

Also, tilt! 500 or so Indianswho invested in the TribalFund receive between $1,100and $1,600 a year. This com-bined with some work, mostlyin agricultural or lumberrelated fields, pushes thefamily income over the limitto receive welfare a i d .However. general ap-pearances indicate many arejust barely over this limit.

One other explanation mayrest in the nature of Indianlife and culture. T h eAmerican Indians are a proudrace and used to livingwithout many of the so-callednecessities of the white man.They do not feel the needto seek aid to maintain theirnormal standard of living,even though it may be muchlower than the standard ofliving for the rest of theUnited States.

The conditions are not asbad as may have been

painted thus In this article.According to the KlamathCounty Welfare Departmentthere are "no real areas ofabject poverty." however,they would be the first toadmit that conditions amongthe Indians are not perfect.

When the federal govern-ment terminated their controlover the Klamath Indiansmore than half of the tribewas under 21 years of age.It is this segment of thepopulation that is just nowor will be coming out on itsown that may create. the mostproblems. The educationallevel of attainment is ex-tremely low and many have

lived most of their lives onthe "free" governmentmoney. They have n o tprepared themselves to copewith the difficulties of makinga living in the white com-munity nor have they seenany reason to do so.

They have given up theirmembership in the tribe toreceive the governmentmoney and can no longer turnto the tribe for assistance.It will be the responsibilityfor the community to makesure these citizens receive thenecessary training andassistance to enable them tobecome active and creativemembers of society.

Black AthletesRomany, Spans Illustrated has been running a

roe-part series on "The Black Athlete." The author,ck Olson, interviewed many Negro athletes, as wellcoaches and athletic directors_lle says that "the cliche that sports has been

good to the Negro has been accepted by black andwhite, liberal and conservative, intellectual and red -neck. And the Negro athlete who has the nerve tosuggest that all is not perfect is branded as ungrateful.a cur that bites the hand.

"Every morning the world of sports wakes upant congratulates itself on its contributions to racerelations. The litany has been repeated so many timesthat it is believed almost universally. It goes: 'Lookwhat sports has done for the Negro."

"But Negro athletes do not agree. Almost to aman, they are dissatisfied, disgruntled and disillus-tioned.-

Aaiun.- Olsen agrees. "With rare exceptions theAmerican college coach expects his Negro at_hlef-,sto concentrate on the job for which they were hired.The aim is neither graduation nor education. . . .

At the cod of the last second of the last minute ofthe last hour of the Negro athlete's eligibility. he islikely to find himself dumped unceremoniously intothe harsh ACildieRliC world. Tutors who wrote histhemes disappear: professors who gave him superiorgrades for inferior wort riga:foe their marking stan-dards; counselors who advised courses in basket-wea log ca .mg suddenly point out that el.fialnpostponed courses is Eaghsh and rasitheert..11cs andhistory must be passed before graduathei. There iswades its the voseid se forlorn and useless as a Negrocollege athlete who has used up his eligibilfty._ .

"Certain truths about the Negro college athletehave been carefully cvncealed . . The most obviousof these traits is that precious few Negro athletesare qualified so attend college m the and place. Thegolf between the lower schools of the white and thelower seboshs of ih Negro remains a Grand Canyon:many of the Negro athleter who arrive on collegecampuse% never read a from cover to cov,r, orhad any reason to.

Black Power Is Phrase With Manv MeaningsEd. Nett: This article was

reprinted from the Benson

Tech giving an approach of aNegro stodont to Black Power.

By RAY NELSONBenson High School

Probably the most whipped.abused and misunderstoodterm of the twentieth centuryis Black Power. It is the onephrase that frightens, stuns.bewilders or baffles WhiteAmericans. On the otherhand. if you are black, Itis probably a heartwarmingphrase that spurs you onwardand causes a surging pridein your race. Whether youlive on the poorest crackerfarm in Georgia. in a ratinfested tenement of Harlem,or in Lake Oswego. Oregon.you react positively a rnegatively to "Black Power."But, you do react'

What is "Black Power?"Not many people knoweven some Negroes aren't toosure about the meaningbehind the words. The reasonthat -Black Power" con-notates violence is because itwas first used by Stokely

.artnIchael. If Martin LutherKing had first used the

phrase, it would probably notbe such a fearful slogan

because King was much moremoderate than Carmichael_

To each and every individual,"black Power" meanssomething different.

To the cracker farmer inGeorgia, "Black Power"means that "Niggers will runthe country and dominateWhite people." This is themost terrible thing that couldhappen to this personbecause. if "Niggers getpowerful and uppity." whowill he have to be betterthan" Already, he is at thebottom of the white classscale. Ile is dirt poor. poorerthan one third of the Blackpeople in the United States.But they ire "Niggers" and,though I- may be illiterate,dirty. aid poor, he is Whiteand, as fir as he's concerned.it's bad enough to have afew uppl; "Nigeers" likeThurgood Mai shall. but it willbe a sad. sad, day when"Niggers" can tell Wittefolks what to do!

We Want To Say

mu vnn

To this cracker farmer. theonly salvation left for good.white Americans is the KuKlux Klan and George C.

Wallace. To this poor whitefarmer, -Black Pow er''means the ultimate victoryof race he bitterly hatesand fears. He is not sure whyhe hates "Niggers" hut, allhis ancestors did and he wasborn and bred on hate. Hereleased all his passion. fury.bitterness. and frustration orblack people He feels thatif God had wanted Negroto 'se equal to White people,he would have made themequal_

Although his reaction to"Black Power" ei not sostrong as the poor White's.the so called -Average WhiteAmerican" likes to think hisdislike of "Black Power" isbad for intelligent reasonnutThis is the so called -middleman He could be a smallor big businessman, doctor,lawyer, or factory supervisorHe is the man who is wanedby Wall Street, TV Mirmenials. glossy magazineads, and ambitious prvl.!.1-

MIMS.

No matter what ra-tionahrations be uses against"Black Power. Mr AverageAmerican is afraid of losingstatus and suffering a dropin the Yalta of hie materialpossessions: his home.furnishings and cars He isafraid that he will lose his

smug sense of achievementand satisfaction in uimself.

The Middle Man is afraidof ."Black Power" eventhough he may sympathizewith the Civil Rights Move-ment. Black Power is toomuch for him because itmeans that Negroes a r ebecoming restless and wantto hurry up things. Mr.Average American wants col-ored people to go a littleslower because, if he goesMowly enough. he may neverreach where he's going andthat is exactly what Mr.Average American wants'

To Black people all overthe United States, whetherthey live in Harlem.Mississippi. or P o r t l a n d ,Oregon, "Black Power"stmFly mean! to 'nave anequal share of the power thathas always been monopolizedby Whites. Black people donot want to destroy ordominate White people. the)post want to share the powerBlack men want to own andoperate some businesses, notearn and operate them ail.Black cituens wart t

participate in the religious.political. education and Socialnetwork of the community. notcontrol it. Black pofltkianswant to make laws and passle-palatine that will he bene-ficial to Bladt people. notnecessarily better than, Whitekids

Black Power givespeople positive view of lifeIt makes them feel that theyat last can win something

Black people have been theobjects of so much hatred andabuse that it will take yearsto completely get rid of thephilosophy of "If." "If" isone word that Black peopleused frequently because theirlives were so unpredictableand uncertain that they couldnever plan anything definite-ly They always allowed fordissappointments and 1 e tdowns. oho time an-thropologists used to say thatone way to tell a Negro froma White Man, when physicalappearance failed, was to askhim about his ftiture plans.If he said. "I hope to becomea lawyer nr "1 want to buya house.- he was White. But,If he used the phrase "If Ilive and nothing happens."that man was Negro!

A white man can put his

life savings into a schemeand know that, if it fails,he always has the opportunityto start over. The Negro haslearned not to put all his eggsinto one basket. If he fails,there is no second chance,no short-cut to success. Whenbad things happened, he usedto say, "It's for the best."He doesn't say that anymore.He doesn't wait for things tohappen: the best isn't goodenough.

Today, the Black manmakes things happen. Thephrase "Black Power" Is abattle cry to rally that onlyrecharges the Black man'spride and faith in himselfIt reassures his ability toachieve certain goals. Itassures the Black man of hisdignity and makes him fighthard for equality.

Three Percent Student

Topic Of Weekly TalkBy JAN GODARD

Assistant Managing Editor"Classist, racist ghetto" was the way Bruce

Keys, chairman of the Oregon State University com-mittee on minority student affairs, described theOregon State campus.

Keys joined with WilfredWasson, director of t h especial service programs oncampus. in discussing thethree per cent program. Thepair spoke at a recent"Thank God It's Friday"forum here.

OSU is reluctant andunready to accept the threeper cent student 'toys charg-ed. "The chancellor's officehad to instigate the three percent program. OSU made nomove to do it itself," he il-lustrated.

The three per cent pro-gram, as set up by Oregon'schancollor of higher educationprovides that a certain quotaof students may be admittedto a public institution ofhigher learning withoutmeeting the minimum grade

There are no blackstudents in the three per centprogram now. "I can't getany to come down to OregonState. but I'm still lookingand trying," Wasson com-mented.

On campus, the three percent student is primarilytaught how to operate ef-fectively in general society.a skill which they have notlearned. Wasson pointed out.

"The three per cent stu-dent needs identity, but doesnot need to be identified,"Wasson asserted. Whether thestudent wishes to identifyhimself in the form or in theclassroom is up to the in-dividual, he said.

Both speakers em-phasized that the three percent student is not givenanything that is not given toevery other student. Thethree per cent student isgetting what most studentsgot in high school, theyerr phasized.
