Show Student Life Monthly Review H n i nW Pakistan during the war between India and Pakistan during his summer stay expanded his thought back to Vietnam Further more education in American University was aimed to train people in a very elitist way and that turned him off Yes Vietnam also worried a man at his age too Graduation and being drafted means a lot to him Coward?- - “No in my situation to fight a war I didn’t believe would be coward” I came back to Logan to file a conscientious to draft board objection my and to have peace of mind” Logan was not 0 fcSQGDQoSf1313 ©0©dlODOLl ©0y00 Washington DC and will never be People here were still gung ho about the war- virtually almost everyone wanted to finish off the North Vietnamese Dayne didn’t think that it was the people’s fault to think that way rather jt was the news media and the government who misinformed them “I wanted to inform them and to change their positions on the war” Rather arrogant attitude to assume that only he knows how to interpret the news and understand the government for a young man considering so many PhDs around here but history has proved that Dayne was right By now the political temptation wa£-to- o high for him to bypass Dayne was added to a few existing activists So great of a temptation that he quit school in the spring of 1968 and breathed in the blossom of spring in Washington DC listening to Ralph Abernathy and several other minority leaders in the 1968 Poor Peoples March It was at this point that socialism touched Dayne although superficially but its scent still stayed with him until he finally converted fully to the belief of the summer of 1970 “When I came back from the demonstration in DC I felt so hopelessly about the society and I was really demoralized Then I met Sterne McMullen who was an English instructor and he was a socialist teacher He gave me the socialist view and I think he is right But I was too scared to be associated with the word socialism because of early belief of the evil of socialism” Between 1969 and 4970 a soon to be USU socialist activist wasn’t an activist at all Concentrating all his effort in fighting the draft he finally received his CO (an alternate service for not being drafted) but the lotery system saved his service to the country “It was the invasion of Cambodia the shooting at Kent State and by Sondhi Limthongkui When Richard M Nixon ordered the invasion of Cambodia in 1970 he movements but he actually changed did not only infuriate the anti-wa- r is the beginDayne Goodwin’s mind about his political thought--tha- t ning of his inclinations toward socialism Dayne Goodwin the unique radical on campus yes or no? It depends on how one accepts others’ political point of view While many on this campus will definitely label Dayne ’s political philosophy as a foolish and unacceptable method It is also no surprise that Dayne at the same time projects those people as the ones who do not see the light in their political thought The making of Dayne Goodwin in 1974 is a very unique history of his own personal life with a prevailing cause Dayne Goodwin a red winters in difhaired ordinary looking man has passed twenty-si- x ferent places Born in Madison Wisconsin where his father was a freshman at the University of Wisconsin Through early childhood Dayne wandered with his parents through University of Minnesota Idaho State University and finally Washington State University where his father received a PhD in Range Management and came back to teach at USU after a short teaching period at University of Nevada at Reno Neighbors and acquaintances of Dayne’s early childhood could not understand the new Dayne Goodwin of 1974 In fact his own father couldn’t understand him “My father told me that it was the biggest Jackson State that linked me more closely with the Young Socialist Alliance and forthe first time I was impressed with the YSA tactics” No time was waste now Dayne went to Cleveland Ohio for the Socialist Educational Conference and when this former National Merit Scholar of the South Cache High school came back from the sun of Cleveland Ohio another socialist was born a liberal could hardly But why Logan? Teaching Socialism where live “Primarily because of my schooling it would be more hassle to transfer again in addition I’m now in the process of self educating I want to pass that process before I get out of here” But maybe d in Logan Dayne would be someone whom everyone knows is a socialist instead ofa lost soul in Chicago or New York or Los Angeles me the opportunity to practice “Yes I partially agree Logan gave my speaking in the future” Brezhnev or Mao Dayne doesn’t want to associate himself with either “My socialism is not what Moscow and Peking are doing mine is a complete form of democracy with everyone having a share in decision making in this way eventually socialism will evolve to become pure communism”’” What about Michael Harrington’s socialism? “I don’t believe as into Harrington believes that eventually the present system will evolve a socialistic system It has to be revolutionary” The question remains--wh- istake for me to become a Socialist and he tried to persuade me back it he finally gave up” Yes time and events changed people and Dayne is no exception ily in Dayne’s case he began to doubt several traditions during his inior year in high school For a junior in high school particulary ling raised in a community such as Logan and being a devoted ormon to refuse the existence of God is almost unacceptable to the w of reality back in 1964 when Dayne was at South Cache high school remembered I was elected to be the vice president of the Seminary d I accepted but refused to go to the seminary afterward and one of me to go to y teachers spent almost half an hour trying to persuade e Seminary” his childhood Dayne attributed most of his doubt about God toward -- die-har- s and his love 0 perience around his father’s scientific research ience which required substantial proof of any existence But Dayne e now confronted with another problem : he will have to make peop lieve that his socialist philosophy is the best political philosop y 0 ankind Tse-tun- g toe rhe end of his high school life was also the end of Alice in whic It was the threshold of a new process of experience ntributed most to the making of Dayne Goodwin now t know w For those who call Dayne as a dumb radical who doesn is doing bear in mind that this revolutionary mind m awa aduated first in his class earned the outstanding science did nothes Jeto is a National Merit Scholar American University and stan cept him with a scholarship Berkeley hecause of his sem new a for to wait him ng except they wanted Won-rlan- d affiyswTrited to go to school in Washington Congress” Dayne did not disappoint maintained a low average in his two an(J DC beMseof Drary of It i t ? i i i - at kind of a revolution? Socialism to Dayne is the only way to solve the present society’s problems “The problems we are facing now are caused by the capitalistic system socialism is the only alternative to the present system” What success did Dayne have in Logan? “Several mainly people who do not accept socialism but are no longer afraid to think or talk about it It is a completely different situation a few years ago when I tried to teach socialism hostility was everywhere” Dayne’s socialistic goal of this society may be some years ahead but its there but so H Peducation at American University was having a rep ment iny outstanding students to the tur path to socialism “I the for lerican University paved Dayne had tQ stop 1 8 1964 m s supporting Barry Goldwater he was right” But I kne?v heart in my nmuaism somewhere and He e summer of 1965 when he had the opportunity to e summer in northern Pakistan Dayne became disenchanted with the Americna foreign policy He became disenchanted with the way Americans were helping the Pakistanisvery The American role in Personality fI Page 15 m Dayne’s commitment and conviction make one wonder what if Dayne is right?
