SCARLET AND BLACK Julian Bond Claims Racial Gan Widening; “The Choioe is l’olire” TellsWhites “I would like to discuss the U.S.A,," Julian Bond told a nearscapacity crowd in Darby Gymnasium last Friday night. “It has become a warfare state." . The controversial young Georgia state legislator was on campus as part of the Program in Practical Political Educa- tion. The topic of Bond’s ad- dress was “The Outsiders: the Poor, the Black, the Young.” “The hopes oi black people have turned to disillusionment," Bond said. “A bottle some of us thought was won at the lunch counter is being lost at the bai< lot box." Discussing the gap between black and white, Bond said he was “seeing it grow larger and larger.“ Earlier in the day, Bond held a press conference in the Thompson Splits in Walla Walla, Wash. 5.

"They are mov- ing toward an economic analy— sis rather than just a political analysis or the problems.” "To build another party in this Country, I think you would have to do it over a period or years," Bond told the press. Looking towards the future, he is “more optimistic about the political future of black people than about their ecu< nomic future. I see black people taking power in their communities." This theme was echoed in his address when he told the audia ence that southern blacks have “begun to organize political and economic g r o u p s responsive and responsible to themselves and themselves alone.” Bond was highly critical of the Nixon welfare proposals. He said the answer would be tor “the lederal government to take over all welfare.“ Com- menting on Daniel Moynihan's projection that even if the Vietnam war were ended, there would be no additional iunds tor domestic problems, sond said it was as though America was now “spending inr war while the nation looks for new worlds to conquer." When asked about the con- spiracy trials scheduled to be- gin in Chicago on September 24th, Bond said they were “po- litical trials or people the gov- ernment wants to crush.” “it people are interested in expressing their toelings that people should be able to dem- onstrate and speak treely, per- haps they should go to Chi- cago." (Demonstrations are planned during the trial.) Concluding his speech, Band told the predominantly white audience, “the choice is, after all, yours. It has never been ours.” .iulinn Bond, controversial Georgia state Legislator, as he spoke to a near-capacity crowd in Darby last Friday night. AWARE Outlines Activities for Second Year An organization created to work with racial attitudes on the local level, the Association of Whites for the Advancement oi Racial Equality (AWARE), held its first meeting at the year on Sunday, September 14, in the South Lounge. Some 40 students gathered to discuss the problems involved in educating the college and town toward racial awareness. In its efforts to reach the town, AWARE last year initiated I study- group, town-college movies, and on extensive bibliography ot race-relations hooks drawn 1mm many aourcm This year, says senior Karen Frank, an AWARE organizer, most of the procedures and methods of the organization will he the same as last year. Again Freshmen Blamed for Long Lines At least 50 students have complained to the Student Co~ ordinator's ottice about the length at lines at meals. in re sponse to these complaints, the Coordinator’s Office is conducta ing an investigation of the problem, Clarence “Chuck” Hand, Di- rector ot the Food Service, at. tributed the oiitioulties to typi— cal beginning-ci-the~year prob» lems: ireshmen are less ac- quainted with the mechanics oi choosing toad and ireshmen SAGA workers need time to get oriented. Both or the problems have been compounded this year by the huge size or the treshman class. Hand added that part or the problem at this point in the year is that students have not yet had time to determine DANlSH MAED BAKERY The FineslL ln Pos’rries Usual and Unusual. 818 FOURTH AVEN UE which dining rooms are free at which times. The Student Coordinator’s Of- tice, after looking into the matter briefly, believes that part of the problem is caused by general slowness or students in taking their iood and silvere ware.

A study group in town will also be renewed on a regular basis. This year’s studyrgroup meeting was on Wednesday night at the Congregational Church, headed by Mrs. Sally Moore, wile of Asst. Professor Edward Moore. Discussed at the meeting was the question of whether AWARE should concentrate on educating its members on cam pus, or jumpdnto town prob- lems and education. The con- sensus was that it would be most: profitable to work closely with the town, as soon as possible. Last year’s AWARE panel discussion of black power in lO< cal churches will be followed this year by similar discussions with ministers, church youth groups; and church members, coordinated by the AWARE’S Church Committee. In a statement of AWARE’s Step Up To JD'S RESTAURANT 922v: Main Mall. - Set. 5 to lo pm Sunday—Neon to lo pm. purpose, released before last Sunday’s meeting, one purpose listed was “making an eii'ol‘t to keep Grinnell College facil- itie open to adults and teen- agers from town as much a: possible." in keeping with this, Karen Frank said there may be a scheduled town-college open house in the near iuture. Townrcollege relationships will not be successful, she Said, “if they hate us.” This year’s AWARE activities will be run by ad-hoc commit- tees, including church and edu- cation committees. Meetings or these groups will be more ire- quent and regular than general AWARE meetings. At commit- tee meetings, the members will report on their individual eta forts, and the response to their efforts in town. noise 3 EAST E N D GROCERY EROGERIES iEAT - BEER OPEN DAILY 8 AM. - 8 PM. 2 Blocks East at Quad 1501 6th Ave. 6-4465 NEED BOOKSHELVES?
