Steve Morris, a member of the Iowa City Draft Resistance Union, (DRU), has agreed to come representing that organi- zation. An Air Force veteran. he was one of three Iowans to surrender his draft Card to Federal authorities on October 16. The position of the Draft Re» slstance Union is best stated by a quotation from one or their handbills: “The Resistance Is a move ment of draft ago men who are opposed to the war in Vietnam Ind the policies til the U.S. throughout the Third World. We are saying that our dissent and protest has been ignored. We on saying that mere dissent and pro- Iest are no longer enough. We call on all Americans to refuse to light this war and to resist the draft. . . Turn in your card or join our sup- port demonstration.” Randy Miller, a senior history major at the University of Iowa, will represent Students for a Dcmocralic Society (5135). This organization, which has not sponsored any national mobili- zation since the first of the demonstrations, is a radical left group. I think its position should be heard by anyone can- templatirlg activism.

I finally approached mem- bers of the Iowa Civil Libertieil Union (ICLU) and have been assured that a member of the Executive Board will be pres- ent here on Dec. 1. He will speak on the legal and libertarian aspects oi the var- ious forms of war protest. They (the ICLU) need no introduction as defenders of individual civil liberties and the democrsno process. The Iowa board will have two cases before the U.S. Supreme Court this year, one of which is the Des Moines armband issue—a political protest in pub- lic schools where students wear- ing protest armbands found themselves in trouble with school administrators. Those undecided about the form of their participation in practical protests will, hopefully find the air cleared by thls discussion; PPFE pays for the coffee. Scheduled Events: Fri. Dec. 1, 4 pm. 5.

November 24, 1751 A STUDENT OPINION ANONYMOUS STUDENT ANSWERED By CONCERNED BLACK STUDENTS There is indeed an increasing concern among Negroes on this campus with the Negro subculture, but it is a concern that is ap« parently little understood by the white students here. A sociological survey taken last semester indicates that only 43% of the Negroes' primary group relations are with other Ne- gmesl This moans that the majority oi these relations (57%) are found in interaction with white students. We are not really aware of any groups of Negro students that "eat together. walk together. talk together, dance together, and generally spend time together exclusively." . We feel further, that the reasons you give for the Increased numbers of Negroes on the Grinnell campus are all but totally er- roneous. The increasing number of Negroes on this campus has resulted, in most cases, from the active “recruiting" program of the college. Regrciiully, the National movement of which you speak involves a minorlty of American Negroes, and very few, if any, of the Negroes on this campus. The isolation of a small, white liberal arts college prevents their participation in this movement on the level that other Negro college students have entered it. All of this, combined with the apparent purpose of a “liberal” education to indoctrinate the intelligent Negro into the White so‘ cieiy, has indeed caused a situation worthy of much concern. For the Negroes on this campus, are, contrary to what you seem to believe, painfully lacking in the really important elements of the American Negro subculture, The chalky, Sterile Grinnell environment forces the Negro to relinquish his subcultural ties. He accepts the artificial standards of the artificial college community in order to survive, in order to be accepted. But the real crime is that in relinquishing the “old values," The Grinnell Negro is also asked to relinquish his own heritage: a heritage he should exhibit with pride, not store away with his travel luggage. The ”exclusion of the white world” is not the evil form of dis- crimination that you describe, The ”self isolation” that you speak of is imperative to the Negroes' search for an ethnic “soul.” This inrgroup interaction is a necessity for the Negro if he is to main- taiu his identity in a world which tries to destroy it. in direct con— tradiction to what you have said, there is not enough of the Negro Subculture on this campus, a subculture that actively works to build the Negro’s pride in himselfl Ethnic pride does not mean so< clal separation; ethnic apathy can mean social annihilation. Today the American Negro seeks himsell; we here at Grinnell are not. too late to start looking. versity campuses. bookstore within the next week.
