You and 1 know, of course, that these traitors are in the minority. Many of these lads do not know that. And they are puzzled and hurt. No other gen. eration has been forced to tight his country's war under such a cloud It is damnahly uniair. These are good lads. Mrs. Norman I know you realize that. Like many people of my ears, there have been times have despaired ot the young- 21‘ generation. My association with these youngsters over the past three years has convinced me, anew, that those fears and those doubts have no real basis. It is heartening, it is heart» warming, to live and endure hardships with them. Their courage defies description. Their discipline is a thing or beauty. Their willingness to sacriiice, to take punishment yes, to e dure the unendurabio that oth- ers may live is awesome and inspiring.

It is honorable. Communism is on trial here. Specifically, the basic tenets of Mao Tse-tung are at stake.

Sincerely, .lim 6, Lucas Personal Comment: I have withheld the temptation to capi. talize and underline words and phrases which, to put it bluntly, should be hammered into the heads of the dissenters. Those of us who have an» dured and survived under Com- munistic dictatorships are etern- ally grateiul to those who are trying to stop the spread oi the cancer. it is a paradox that the very young, the second and third generation Americans, raised and coddled in a demo» cracy, are those being the most vocal and creating a disastrous disunity tor which their chil- dren and their children's ch - dren may have to pay dearly. —Mrs. W. L, Kmegcr 1145 Kearney Street Denver, Colorado time Answers Questions To the Editor: As a word or explanation concerning my an..-;mous let- ter oi two weeks ago, I would like to answer the im . “perti- nenl" questions raised by Mist ea Nute and Thomas. 1. The well-being ot the em tire campus is in some way aifectcd by women's hours regulations. 2. Women's hours are not it penalty, Est rather a social. ly convenient regulation, the advantages of which outweigh the disadvant s. a. The “same of us" who are “incapable of he..dling uri- limited : :dom" refers to the entire campus, not just the men. 4. Graduated men’s hours would be totally out ot social context: 1 think that society ought to preserve what little still remains or the tradition- e1 roles of the male and male in copi g with its social problems. This does not im— ply condonement of a double standard in any legitimate sense. Furthermore, in an en- vironnient like Grinnell any restrictions directly placed on the campus women will in- directly aftect campus men to practically the same orient, Do you know what 1 do atter taking my date back to her hall? a I go back to my hall, what else! it is obvious in your letter that your icinale vanity was in. sulted by my letter, or you would have been better able to understand my intent. I do- liberately hoped to step on the toes of both the men aud wtr men on this campus whose vani- ty in all matters supersedes its justification. (I don’t entirely exclude myself here.) Also, i deliberately refrained from moral indignation over the ques- tion of women's hours because the typically non-committal Gi-innellian rejects moral judg- ments, even when they are the only judgments whicli touch the heart ot a problem. 1 rest my case on my previous letter, and for obvious .nsons, remain Anonymous Mala R'ucial Problem T0 Cha Edilo The events or the last tew weeks have brought to a focal point a crisis which has been building inside us tor quite a while. What we have to say is no attempt to speak for all the Negroes or any other Negro on the Grinnell campus. Nor is it an attempt to change anyone's at. titude. At this point what bothers us most is the attitude of white students who consider them. selves liberal. We see their LL heralism as either niisconceived iiheralisni or h pocricy. The great majority o the students here are of a suburban and mid. dleclass background in which their contact with blacks is at most limited. They present the tact that they have “never had any trouble with Negroes", as proot of their liberalism, What they really mean is that theK have never had any contact wit Negroes. Occasionally one ot them will have a Negro as a guest in his Friday. Decemberq, not hotne. This, too, is allegedly proof positive oi their total lack oi preiudice. We at Grinnell form some sort or uuasiintellectual elite. The Negroes are readily “tac- cepted” by the whites because they are members of this cliteI These Negroes are “dlflerent' trom other Negroes because they're intelligent and clean. in the spans of time between our periods of rapport, we ask ourselves, “how can we as black men identity with any of these whites, while they cannot accept each and every one'of our black brothers equally as human beings.” Everywhere we look at Grill- nell we see varying degrees or racial preiudice in its most sin. ister form. it is sinister because no one realizes it, and atter all, who is going to admit that in an atmosphere or perpetual in- tellectual stimulation that any. thing but racial harmony exists? As we said earlier, we do not expect to change anyone's racial attitude. We have attended ra— cially integrated e c h o o is throughout our lives, and this Eatiem has been consistent. We ave grown to expect no man of whites than this racial hypoc- ricy. what we do wish is that they would realize their {Elsa sense of liberalism. Gain through the motions is no pruu ot sincere liberalism. We have been forced to re. examine our position, the osi- tion of the Negro in the rin- nell community. We have come to recognize our position as one of implied inferiority which per- vades every tacet of our daily LETTERS— (continued on page 9) WHERE YOU NEVER PAY RETAIL! , EVERY DAY DISCOUNT PRICES SAVE YOU MORE 816 Mb Ave. Grinhell Iowa STORE HOURS! 7 am.
