Show The Paper That Dares To Take Page 4 The Utah Independent March 17, 1977 A Stand FINALLY, SOME SENSE A Conserative The News Lynchburg, Virginia Speaks Out Finally, some sense from a federal court on the subject of discrimination: U.S. District Court Judge D. ruled that Dortch Warriner Virginia Commonwealth University must cease and desist' in its affirmative action program which discriminates on the basis of sex and race. Warriner found that such programs violate both the equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which bans dis- criminatory hiring practices. And, of course, they do. Affirmative ac- tion is the code name for quotas, and quotas by definition, are dis- criminatory. The judge said something that all Americans should ponder: There will never be sex or racial peace until the idea of sex or racial discrimination is dead and buried." The only to eliminate sex or race in consideration for jobs, or anything else, is to ignore it. Henceforth, Warriner said, sex shall not be a factor to be con- emsidered in the ployment practices" of the state- supported university. How a university supposedly committed to equal rights could develop a program which is. on its face, a flagrant violation and denial of civil and equal rights, defies logical explanation. The case on which Warriner ruled involved Dr. James Albert who claimed that he sought two permanent teaching jobs at VCU in 1974 but got neither and that the jobs later were given to women no better qualified than he. Cramer holds a B.S. in criminology and correction, a master's in sociology and criminal justice, and a doctorate in sociology. Significantly, he did not seek any monetary damages; he merely challenged the validity of the affirmative action program, He brought his suit, then, as a matter of principle, not principal, So long as sex and race are w-a- non-sex-relat- considered E. P. THORNTON The following 1 stole from a I97S newspaper article, Come with us. reader, on a little voyage of imagination, and we promise that the end of the journey will reward your attention, Picture yourself on a hilltop on the clearest night you ever knew. Our encyclopedia tells us you can see 6,000 stars. Now imagine that every one of those stars, even the dim ones we can barely see, is in itself a whole sky full of stars. That would make 36 million stars. Now, let's do it again, if we can, and try to imagine that every last one of those 36 million stars is itself a whole sky full of 6,000 stars, That would make 216 billion stars, And if every one of them were a dollar bill, that would be less than half of the federal debt!

Have no late report, but a year ago Senator Proxmirc, on nearly every day the Senate met, was making a short speech calling for Senate ratification of the hellish Genocide Convention, a brain child of the disunited Nations. A group of outspoken Senators have been just as steadfast in opposing Proxmirc. The very word Genocide" is coined. It isnotintheolderbigdic-tionarie- s. It was concocted as a part of the ONE WORLD conspiracy. In itsdetail. you might be guilty of Genocide if you got in an argument w ith somebody of a different race or culture and called him a name that would wound his Whitey. or feelings such as Wop", or (Heaven forbid!) Nigger. The treaty defines Genocide" as slaughter or maiming or OTHER ACTS designed to destroy IN WHOLE OR IN PART a national, ethnic, racial or religious group. The trap is baited with the ONE IN PART". words PART". IN PERSON could be And you could be hauled up and tried in the court of ANOTHER COUNTRY if your alleged act took place there. When this was cooking in the disunited Nations, the Soviets were cagey. At first the thing also applied to a POLITICAL group. The Soviets screamed until that word Political was taken out. With their Berlin Wall, and Iron Curtain, they knew they were in position to destroy, at will, up to 100 million slave citizens. So the way the THING came through, what the Soviets do in concentration camps is Okev because it is What you and I POLITICAL. may slip up and do to ONE OTHER PERSON may subject us to heavy penalties, because it might be RACIAL or ETHNIC. Proxmirc has many helpers on this thing. Foremost is Hubert Humbug Humphrey, socialisms fading star. So 1 respectfully advise every citizen w ho does not want to be hauled before a polyglot WORLD COURT, charged with something that might happen on the streets of his home town, to write me for the details of the GENOCIDE CONVENTION.
