He proceeded but two minutes proved too great a tax on the patience of the Ku But— he Kluxers “Nothing Ky said could appease the protesters in the slightest” reported the Journal “and in the end as missiles and it appeared eggs and rotten fruit began to fly towards the stage Ky stepped back from the podium waited as the disruption grew and finally left the hall escorted by Cornell Safety Division officers” During the question period Ky was not so much asked as informed that he was a) a fervent admirer of Adolf Hitler (Ky said he wasn’t— his legendary reference had been only to Hitler’s skills as a leader in the early 30’s In the same breath he had named Nasser) b) a dope smuggler (Ky denied it) and c) a land-thie- f (Ky explained that the land he “took” was undeveloped land available to any Vietnamese who undertook to develop it) A typical question from the floor was “How do you sleep at night?”— no doubt asked by a young member of thein revolutionary nobility ¥ i J-- - —i Buckley America whose scars date back to when he was sent to sleep by his mother without a popsicle The presumed hero of the evening was not a student but of an assistant professor Richard Miller philosophy "THE CREEP" He spoke from the floor referring to Marshall Ky only as “the creep” Mr Miller wanted to know what Ky was doing there The philosopher’s impatience with the audience was one gathers in its failure to accept the role for which it was clearly qualified by temperament “The object of any people’s court I’ve heard about is to find out if someone is a murderer and if he is to shoot him” Marshall Ky having finally withdrawn a protecter took the stage and announced elatedly “We have set a precedent! We have sent him away! The place is now ours!” That conclusion is however in abeyance A few days after the incident the president of the university Dale Corson convened a faculty meeting and set in motion a judicial inThe judiciary vestigation committee of the university did the same thing The president was denounced by the Cornell Senate composed of faculty and administrative students personnel for having prejudged the matter In fact the president didn’t prejudge the question of any specified individual’s guilt or innocence He’d have had to be deaf dumb and blind not to know that in fact Marshall Ky the guest of three student had been organizations from speaking to a prevented student audience in violation of the rules of Cornell which are an extension of the rules of civil behavior in a free society What is remarkable about it is less the taste of the Nazi Youth Movement— that anarchic passion to smash which was identified many years ago as the Hitler in Ourselves: that is bad should be curbed should be punished It was the appalling unintelligence of it all The notion that Ky could be taught about the allegd excesses of his own government’s despotic ways by a brilliant demonstration of behavior as demagogic and unruly as the demonstrators anything were implicitly attributing to the regime in which Marshall Ky figured Now the demonstrators are all hiding under the little eristic provisions of their constitution Marshall Ky is entitled to feel for those particular cowards only contempt r |
