>I was recently told that theAmerican cul ture is dominatedby a "jock at t i tude". Thismeans that Americans tend tohonor the physical accomplishments that people make. A person is more or less rated by thephysical accomplishments theyachieve. Some feel that hereat Mercy hurst the re has beenan influx of so-calld " jo ck s"

April 2, (1971 MERCYHURST COLLEGE Page ThreeC alley rusade:W ho is toJbyfAl 2cssina,$EditorAccording to historian Richard Hofs&idter Arcerlca ha son numerous occasims displayed a proneness to fits of moralcrusading. In a prior historicalperiod the popu lists crus adedagainst the monied interests ofthe urban areas ,? while*: inanother period the progressivesmade reform a crusade.

At present Americans arecrusading once again, not onsuch a grand scale, but nevertheless with much fervor, |in-dignation, and self righteous ness. Today's crusade, broughtto the fore by the îndictmentand fconviction of Army Lt.William Cal ley^ is directedagainst |the system.Recently the commahder ofthe American Federation ofForeign Wars asserted thatCalley is being used|as th escapegoat; the system is reallyto blame. iFor those who acceptthis nonsense Jl can only sayyou too have used a scrap egoatthe system.I'm quite sure one could alsosay Charles Mans on| was victimized by the system. Americans forget that Manson is thebastard son of a 16 year* oldprostitute, a|man|who lived avery difficult and depress inglife, flips quite conceivable, following the system as scapegoat argument, |that CharlesManson was alienated and dis-enfranchised by ak sys tem ^ ofsuperficial ?*and contradictoryyalues, -.a system which, without the guidance of.parents, hecould not relate to. '

Yes, andifor centuries American black people ?have beenrobbed of their personal dignity; either by overt .punitiveacts or by cruel and suble humiliations. That's the American

ame

,system too!!Furthermore, there|are thous-andsr of men* in priso ns whowere victims of a system theyfound difficult| to | relate I to .Does anyone (of significantnumbers) blam^fthe system forthem? IWhy is there no mass crusad

ing for these people? Why thevengeful att i tude it o w a r dCharles Mansori, and the loving sympathy for William Calley? Is is because Manson killed Respectable, ri ch , | | whiteAmericans and Calley killedsupposedly despicable andcontemptable gooks? Are youpatriots with a conception ofWhatf your count ry! can andought to be, or are you ^misledfools displaying a nativistictendency, a ^reflex fostered bya war mentality? |But| the realquestion is, iffcjallfey^ftadbeenacquitted, would fthese peoplebe crusading against? the military system? Probably not!

It|is inconceivable to me howanyone |c a n | justify maliciousand indiscriminate murder byblaming it on a system, a system in which these crusadersALLJOF A SUDDEN have objections too. It seems to |methat people (I'm sorry somehad long hair) who attemptedinlthe past |to brotest againstthe military establishment* werewritte n off as ûnpatriotic, perhaps even Communistic.?? Myquestion then is do these crusaders want to indict the system^ and change it, or do theyjust want to get Calley off?

American people are operating under the misconceptionwar is unrestrained savagery.Just as |pre-modern wars havebeen stereotyped as .being entirely warsf between gentlemen, modern wars have beenstereotyped finto the categoryof |unmitiga*ted| brutality; bothare gross exaggerations. Thefact- of*the matter is a soldierhas an obligation, just as acitizen does to his country, ^toact in accordance with somecodeôf ethics. If America is tobelievej it has a transcendantmoral* position in V iet N am,* itcan only be undermined if weact unethically on the basis thatth e Jenemy acts unethically.Then again, perhaps thefbeliefthat we are the "good| guys"is a delusion.

Given the fact that America

hdsilong affirmed the fact thatit is upholding freetfom | an dself-determination in Viet Nam,to allow soldiers to kill indiscriminately with impunitywould serve to deprecate America's whole philosophical basisfor being in Viet Nam. Again,a just cause cannot be achieved through injustice.

To clarify this point, perhapsan analogy will? suffice. It hasoften been said |Am'erieanwhites are conditioned to believe in the paranoic delusionthat blacks are inferior, anddangerous people with a vindictive attitude towards whites.It's not- uncommon to hear those niggers are crazy andwould slit your throat at theslighest provocation, not tomention the fact all theiniggerslook alike. Exaggeration? Justask mom]and|dad. Then, giventhe general attitude of whitestoward blacks, should a whitepoliceman walking fthe beat inHarlem shoot all ! potentiallydangerous blacks for fear ofreprisal. . Certainly |not! |A | policeman must wait* until he isconfronted with a man who lisin fact bearing ^ a weapon; tokill on the strength of suspicionwouldIbe intolerable and totallyunwarranted. Jlndeed af policeman cannot break the law inattempting to uphold it.If Calley is a vict im, | he fisthe victim of a system he choseto Ibe a^part^*of .LHe^vasn'-tcoerced vinto joining! the army,but went of h is | own volition.Unquestionably Calley is apatriotic and loyal |man aman|with a sense of obligation.It is also true however ^thatCalley |had to accept, în conjunction jjwith his training, jobligation to conduct himselfethically! f i

The legitimacy! of ourfinvolvedment in Viet Nam has 1 otigbeen ^predicated on |the ^beliefthat the majority of the Vietnamese (at least jin the south)are loyal to, or atHeast sympathize with, the South Vietnamese governments J

But| now with respect to theconviction of| William Calley anew frame of reference lhasbeen brought forth. Now t hepeople oft Vietnam are gooks,potentially dangerous VietCong posing as c ivilians ^ andthat the killing oft Americansby such deviousness is morethan commonit's rampant.This leads one to questionwhich assertion islvalid. Iff theformer is true than much ofthe case for Calley is in doubt,in fact* a gross exaggeration.If | the latter is true, perhaps

we|should disengage immediately. I 1 j , | | JThen tfiere are those who believe rthat this happened in thepast without any punitive .actionbeing taken. It As probably thatbsuch occurances as My L aifchave taken place unnoticed.*My question is, if you know

B I L L D O P I E R A L AS p o r t s E d i t o r

This writer, *being part of the ten nis! team , would like to express in their behalf, appreciation for|the support Mercyhurst students and faculty gave usjon our recent trip to Florida. One wouldreally have to experienci the. "lift" that the|kriowledge that mostof the students and faculty of Mercyhurst? were really behind us.I^would like tojtake tills opportunity to thank Sister Carolyn andR.U.S. for the telegrams of congratulations that were sent to thet e a m . We only^hope that we can represent Mercyhurst throughout the spring season as well as we represented you in Flor ida.1 However, there Us Always ahotherj side to everyj story. Thisbecame apparent on ourfreturn, when^notice was$taken of a monographed document proporting tofspeak for "academic freedom."I t seems thatfwhoever wrote this "little nicety" doesn't think muchof sports and boys in generation this campus. There were some vicious charges on that paper that were only half-truths and used totry to encourage bad-feelings toward athletics at Mercyhurst. Asa sports writer, wffl|biily reveal the trattej behind thosejparts ofthis "openfletter" that^deal directly with athletics. But knowinghow these people|haveTistorted the truth in this area, one canrealize how this whole documen(|is a completefdistortion of reali-ty. | M 1 i I I -There were two "chargesjl puMagainst Jh e athlefic*program.One stated thatjeertain members of the tennis fteam "boasted"thatfthey ha d receivedggrades in order to be able to play tennis inFlorida. The other'said that Mercyhurst|was recruiting an AWOLsoldier for a basketball scholarship. A talk with Dean Garveybrough t out the truth behind both these* accusations .To latter|"charge,,iabout:]the AWOL soldier turns out to beafhali truth. Mr. Garvey stated thatâfboylwho had gone AWOLtwice from the army did apply to Mercyhurst. However, this is theextenttot' the :truth to that charge. Ii*seemspiat this person wentAWOL because of. family hardship and bothUimes returned on hisown to the service. In eachkase, the army did not jail him as theynormally dto deserterst Thej%ympathfeed with liis reasons andlet him out of thelservice with an "Undesirable^Discharge" as opposed to af "Dishonorable Discharge" they usually give in AWOLcases. This boy* w a s refused admission, to Mercyhurst only on thegrounds that he didn't have the grades to enter. This so-called"charge" against*this boy thus turns out to be falsef as'Jwell asslanderous to that boy. Somebody|really had a great deal of courage to accuse someone who- couldn't defend?himself, and not evenbother to sign their? (or his/her) name to the^chargeJThe other accusation against members of the tennis team alsoturns out|to be entirely! false. fFor one thing, there waspto oneplaying in Florida who wasn't eligible to play. Mr.f Garvey! offeredto open the records ofI anyone on the team,for in?school, to provethis fact? A s for the accusation for somebody "bragging" that theygot a grade in order to^play, I twill speak with first-hand knowledge of the situation. For one thingjthe boys who were scholastic-ally ineligible during|the Winter term worked, or didn't, for everygrade they got at the end of that term. No one on this team was"given" a-grade in any?way, and a few were ^denied higher gradesby less|than 3 points, in some classes. Also, ii would likelto knowto who these members of the tennis team "bragged'J to as theywere accused of doing. The grades for the previous ineligible1 players Wr e rfinally made known early Thursday night, March 18th,when most ofi this campus was deserted. The team departed at7:30j Friday morning, March|l9thjltor Florida. Therefore, I, forone would like to meet orjsee the "evidence" that someone onthe iennis team "bragged" *about get ting a grade. Also, whoeverwrote|this|paper shows very little respect for the faculty of thisinstitution by insinuating that some member (s) "gav e" outgrades. | f I

Af the Conclusion op the talk with Mr. Garvey, he mentionedan answer to|a question he had been asked. The question was whathe would do if he found out who wrote|thispaper.^The^Deanistated^firstiof all, I would affirm their fright to dissent* Then, Iwould tell them -what,I thought of their character." Mr. Garveyalso stated that he is {willing to discuss this matter with anyonewho? would wish to openly question the school's policies* ff %Nobody is trying to deny the?fact that whoever-wrote this paper had the right to: dissent. This is a basic freedom guaranteed bythe American Constitution! However, there is another right guaranteed by ? our Constitution that states: " I . . the accused shall . . .be informed of the natureând cause of the accusation; to be CONFRONTED with the witnesses againstlhimj| . .".(Amend. VIo'lthe American Constitution;) I hope|thathhe person or persons whoput out this document can feel pride in their achievement. Theymust- really be proud that theyycould slander someone who couldn'tdefend himself, and run down the reputation of a (personally) greatgroup of boys, and stay unknown in* the process. Thesefpeople* (o rperson) say thatfcheylareexercising their right of speaking out!bu tdoes that right give [themtthe authority to trample on the rights ofothers? To whosoever wrote these accusations, I can only saluteyou on your fine example of "integrity," and the |"courage" you'veshown in standing; up for ?your convictions.
