a Friday, October 19, l962 SCARLET AND BLACK Disarm opponents peacefully urges Martin Luther King at Coe By Phil Bernstein S to E Stat: Writer Tuesday, the ‘Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King spoke at a meeting ot the Committee on Human Relations of Cedar Rapids held at the Geo College auditorium. Dr, King is president or the Southern Christian Leadership Contcrencc and is recognized as one of today's great leaders in the fight for racial equality in America. In his speech, Dr. King noted that as Atricari and Asian na— tions gain their independence, they make it clear that they won't accept a nation that Segrer gates a segment of its population along lines of color or race. Talking with African lendr— ers, he has become convinced that the United States must desegregate or face the pros- pect ot heing demoted to the status of a second rate powerr fte emphasized, however, tirat “this problem (segregation) must be solved not only he. cause it is diplomatically exe pcdient hut because it is moi-- ally compelling" Commenting on the situation at ‘Ole Miss,” Dr King placed’ the blame for the present crisis upon the power structure saying no politicat,religiou or academic leader took a pos' ve stand on the issue before it was brought to a head. He praised the stand taken by the federal govern merit as a very forthright one IN THE EFFORT ot the Negro to get equal rights, Di King is a strong advocate of non—v olence' which he claims “1 ayes the op— ponent glutted wrth his own harha 'ty’ He warned against succumbing to the temptation ofl using violent means on the grounds this would arouse a new hatred towards the Negro. Though he denounced the violence oriented Black Muslim movement, he attacked the en- vironmental conditions t h a t spawned it as a worse detria inent to the integration cause than the movement itself. Lag- ging standards in the Negro community, he feels, can laid directly at the feet ot seg- regationr In a qttcstionranswer period following the lecture, Dr. King supported the NAACP’s plan tor achieving integration by rather tedious means of court litigations but. hastened to that the success of the integt'zta tion movement depended on the! coordinated crforts of all groupsl concerned. WHEN ASKED about the ef-t tects or church policy in the South on the integration move- ment he said that churches are realizing the need for integration he! the l add ‘ and have begun to uphold the 195-1 Supreme Court dcctston and to condemn segregation. ' He made the observation, houcver, that Sunday morning in the South is still the most. segregated time and place on earth and expressed some at pleasure at church policy {or being what he termed “an echo‘ rather than a’ voice." t DRo KING pointed out that. an important result OI universal‘ Negro suftrage in the South will‘ be a liberalization of United Statesvdomestic and foreign pols) icy. This, he Said. will be accom pllshcd when the Negro voter helps to retire om oftice the Southern D ioi-ity in Congress enables them to control many of the nation’s policies, Concluding. Dr. King reaffirms, ed his faith that eventually sued cess would be achieved in the fight for desegregation and aquull rights tSlate ACLU chief 7 i lfor next Thursday 3 John Pemherton, ipresidcnt of the American civil) tLiherties Union, will he on cams pus next Thufsday ‘ workshop plays - tomorrow at 2 so p.in. ’ tion for iccra ts whose sen-l , Page Five Students ready play workshops for this weekend , Three student diiectcd theater will be giren and Sun— day at 2:30 and a pm in :he Arena theater No activity ticke et are required Adm sion is Trist come, first served.- Peter Wolf will direct a sync ‘sis of Lillian Hellman's “Toys in the Attic,” A scene from “D 'k at the Top ot the Stairs” by William Inge will be done by iGail Farrish, and Bar-h Be te uitt be in charge of the an ce Hugh Herbert's "The Moon is Blue.” THE DIRECTORS were select- ed from students who appl d ‘to the Grinnell Players for ‘position Casts for the th llpldys were chosen by the direc- KEN FRIEDMAN (left), JANE EWERT Bruce hic- Co‘nacltie and Keith Felton t'elteafse a scene from “Titer Moon is Blue,” one of the three theater \t'titlfshop 1)]2135 to be presented tomorrow and Sunday in the Arena in Roberts Theatet. national) LUNCHEON IN the private ' dining room will he followedl lhy a lecture and discussion in the Fine Arts Center, ioom 104, at 1 17.111 attending the calt.Sue Grohs, luncheon should‘ ext. 573i The Anyone interested inl * l,ecturc is open to all i : Rehearsals to start for Choral Society 1 , The Grinnell Choral Society will begin rehearsals Monday in room 104 of the Fine Arts builds ting, Open to all students, faculty land staff members, and inieres inteet Monday nights in preparaa ltion for a spring concert N0 AUDITION is neccssary,i tbut regular attendance is expec led at r-eheaisals, and choral so- l.cicty niemb 5 me expected to) purchase their own music The society, which last year nted Verdi's “Requiem plans to perform Strar "Symphony of Psalms" and Sammartini‘s Vlagiiiticrlt"l next spring The tentative datel set for the concert is Sunday,t All letters to the editor must be typewritten, ,dorrhtc—, spaced, and .must bear the address and w tteri signature or the anthn , James will tie withheld rrom publication upon request.
