Show July 28, 1967 COLLEGIATE WEEKLY r The Looking Glass jj jorenc f by Cheryl Lorenc Somehow Watts looks like a peaceful picnic. Watts was supposed to be the first and last of the "nasty" riots. But Its summer again and even without a heat wave there's a new tidal wave of vicious violence wiping out lives, property and maybe even any new breakthroughs for Negro rights. For those who support and accept the drive and realization of all men's rights particularly the righting of Negro wrongs, well these "equality" advocates are caught between the anarchists of Black Power and reactionaries of White Supremacy. SNCC's 'Young-Goodman' Brown incited the Cambridge, "Maryland burning, and when finally arrested vowed that "Negro built America and would burn it down." That doesn't give much comfort to the Negros whose homes were burned that night in Cambridge. It doesn't give much comfort to at least four Civil Rights Leaders. In fact it scares the daylights out of the "borderline" whites who were starting to be convinced that equality of rights can't be a question of color. In fact the only people taking any comfort from Brown's or Stokely Charmichael's Inflamatory verbal diarehha aare (in no order of increasing importance) our friendly Communist enemies, who must be quite relieved that there's a good chance they won't have to go to any expense to wipe (or burn) out America. Politically, the far-out right in America will no doubt be taking some comfort as they're doing now, make political mincemeat out of Civil Rights because of the Riots. Psychologically, the Negro jammed in the unbelievable squalor of the Ghetto and caught In the gap of the American Dream is probably getting a lot of emotional release from SNCC revival meetings and feelings of justification for breaking the law, which may or may not be any comfort. But If the goal of Civil Rights is social justice and finding the Negro's place In the social and cultural scheme of things then psychological release In anarchy chains the Negro to a very uncomfortable slave block If Black Power means the realization that the Negro has potential, that he has a place In the power structure of politics, that he has a right to have his views heard, that he doesn't have to "be" white to have value and If Black Power means not just the right to act but also the right to accept the responsibility inherent in both freedom and power, then Black Power is a valuable force to help cultivate and reap and harvest of human resources that has been neglected for 300 years. But if Black Power is revenge for neglect, if it Is rationalization for criminal action, if it is somehow beyond the law or beyond the process of law-making, then Black Power may provide for Negro Revenge but it will never provide for Negro Rights. The white man (most) have come to realize that to deny a large section of the laws and rights of all, that in a real sense the rights of everyone are without meaning or security. The Egyptians, Romans, Greeks, Persians and a host of other countries have segmented rights according to superficial criteria of skin color or ethnic background and through the irresponsible use of power made it possible for their demise of their own rights. The Communists regimes the world over have realized the significance of equality under law and culture so even though the mainstay of their many governments is a personal, all powerful dictator, the constant talking about how everyone Is the same and the persistent proletarian identification of everyone masks inequalities in the common denominator of the worker. 394-1768 -5368 S0.1050WES1 ( N i "a - 1"' f Karol Knudsen WSC Coed Chosen As Rodeo Queen A 19 year old coed of Weber State College was selected as second attendant to the 1967 "Miss Rodeo Utah" last Saturday at the Pioneer Days Rodeo.
