Castro Heads Non-Alligned Conferenceby Sue Doerfler

The non-aligned nations of the world will never be as "noo-aligned" as they were a few years ago as long as FideJ Castro of Cuba beads their organiza- tion, said the senior editor of the Arizona Republic, Frederick Mar- quardt, to about 200 persons Sept. 26 in the Auditorium.

"For the next three years Castro will be the spokesman for the non-aligned," he said. "It would be a charade to call Cuba aon-aiigned"

As a response to the Allies and Axis groups formed during World War II. many nations formed a group among themselves: the non-aligned. Currently there are 121 member countries, com- prising two-thirds of the people in the world. Their sixth summit meeting was held in Cuba last month, and was at- tended by Marquardt.

"The American attitude when Castro came into power was that he was a bearded clown," Marquardt said. "We couldn t have been more wrong 20

years ago. Castro has come to power and has held power.

"God knows, we're not in any good position with him today."

Castro's attacks against the United States were well-received by some of the smaller countries, who feel be is a spokesman for them and their pro- blems, be said. Latin American coun- tries especially friendly with the Cuban leader were Nicaragua, Jamaica, and Panama, he said. Main opposition to Castro came from the Asian countries.

The press was completely segregated from the delegates and thus, it was dif- ficult to find out the overall feelings about the significance of the con- ference The proceedings were not telecast live

"1 don't know what the final outcome of this will be," Marquardt said "I'm pretty sure Castro won a big part of his battle."

Changes have occurred in Cuba since Castro's takeover, especially in im- provement of education, medicine and medical facilities, he said. The cost of

living is high there, be said, for exam- ple, a package of 20 cigarettes was about J23S.

" What I wooder now is. what Castro is going to do to impress the rest of the world"

Mullahs Bring Chaos, Repression to Iranby Artnao Mohseni

Almost nine months after the February revolution ft appears that Inn's future is being determined by a "gang" of reactionary and orthodox Moslem mullahs (theologians). Centered in Qom, Mr. Khomeini's bead- quarters, these mullahs have driven Iran to the brink of collapse. They have brought economic chaos, political persecution, and fanatical repression of national minorities. Their shameful secret revolutionary council has wrought a blood-thirsty wave of execu- tions. All these in the name of a religion: Islam. Those who demand equal rights, freedom of the press, freedom of expression and other basic 18th century rights are being branded as traitors to Islam; counter- revolutionaries, evil, sinful, and a myriad of other "revolutionary" names. Those publishing bouses,

and newspapers that havehad even the least degree of difference with these Mullahs and their doctrines have been closed and the editors and the staffs persecuted.

Under the guise of "hunting for com- munists" the Secret Revolutionary Council is repressing those who support progressive social changes. The motive of this parochial reactionary regime of a bunch of clergy is clear: To preserve at any cost their full control over the destiny of Iran.

Mullahs, in fact, have had a long and protected desire to rule the predominantly Shi'a nation. (Shi'as are me minority sect of Islam; the majority are Sunnis). They have been dominant for most of the last few centuries. Throughout the Qajar dynasty (1799-1925) the mullahs wielded con- siderable socio-political influence through the vast chains of mosques. The constitutional revolution of 1906 was a plan designed by the mullah religious hierarchy to curb the power of the Qajar Shahs, and was not a pro- gressive political reform, but rather, reactionary since it was thought that the Qajar Shahs were responsible for opening the door for western penetra- tion.

In 1925 a prominent religious jour- nalist aided Colonel Reza Khan ( the present Shah's father) and his army brigade toppled the Qajar dynasty. As Premier, Reza Khan desired Jto.

establish a republic similar to that of Turkey's under Kama! Ata-turk. The idea was rejected by influential religious leaders along with "British elements" and Reza Khan was per- suaded to become Shah under the same constitution of 1906. The 1906 constitu- tion set the Shah as a ceremonial bead of state and the Supreme Council of five AyatoUahs would have had the vetoing power of any legislation or governmen- tal policies. The mullah's rejection stemmed from Ata-turk's dean-op of mullahs, secularizing the new nation of Turkey, far different from the dying Ot- toman empire.

Reza Khan first builUa strong army which he later used to crack the oppos- ing mullahs. This established his un- disputed authority. The mullahs were never really "rooted out" by either Reza Khan or the present Shah, who with the help of the CIA, survived the serious apprisal of 1953. He survived mainly because the national front was left alone at the crucial moments.

In 1963 another uprising took place due to economic crisis which was trig- gered by religious elements including Kbomeini. At this juncture the na- tionalists gave it only their blessing. As a result government forces brutally put the apprisal down. Kbomeini ended in exile.

Finally, to the surprise of everyone, a "propaganda mistake" concerning Kbomeini's anti-Shah activities in Iraq sparked the explosion of a long overdue but inevitable class struggle. In less than one year; bloody demonstrations, strikes and chaos ended Shah's authoritarian rate. By some estimates, over ten thousand demonstrators were killed in the streets. An inflation rate of 35 percent and an unfair distribution of oil wealth among the masses were cited as the specific inconsistencies: the same economic condition that existed during the 1953 apprisal.

For numerous reasons, it became ob- vious to all anti-Shah forces including intellectuals from different factions, that only a religiously inspired move- meet would be able to end the Shah's well guarded rule. Even the then- outlawed Communist party of Iran (TUDEH) in a resolution at the conclu- sion of their 1974 antmai garnering in East Berlin, called upon their brother Moslems to accept their cordial ser-

vices to help bring down the Shah's regime. This message was ignored by Kbomemi's camp. The National Front, consisting of over two dozen different political factions, united itself with the Kbomeini side during a personal visit between Dr. Sanjabi, the Front's leader, and the Ayatdlah last October in Paris. Similar to the 1906 revolution, a triumvirate of mullahs, merchants and liberal intellectuals staged another revolution. The mullahs provided the necessary mass support, the merchants contributed the funds, and the intellec- tuals provided the movement with ideological shape and direction. After a short time the clergymen's true inten- tions surfaced. The mullah's Islamic in- terpretations were to remain the

strongest element of Iranian society, to the exclusion of all else Establishing another dictatorship ui Us mas; repressive fmm was sot the intention of those thousands who gave their btood to the revolution.

As had been arranged, Mr. Kbomeini and his numerous deputies are in the driver's seat, simply because they paid a higher price. However, one can doubt that the theocratic authoritarian con- ception of the state will prevail late in the 20th century. Iranians will have to go through another revolution to adjust their nation's destiny. It will then be up to the intellectuals, professional politi- cians, and technocrats to take the decisive step toward Iran's inevitable social-democratic future.

Do You Need Legal Help?by Steve Meaner

You are about to graduate. You notify your landlord that you are clearing out and request that be return your deposit money so that you can pay for your air fare home. He points out to you a clause in your rental contract forfeiting your deposit in the event you leave within six months. What do you do?

In the course of a routine traffic ticket the officer discovers a forgotten marijuana roach in your ash tray and you find yourself in the slammer. Who do you call?

Midway through the semester you get a letter from home, but it turns out to be a notice from your wife's lawyer infor- ming you that she is leaving you. Now what?

These are not elements of a pygmy curse. These are typical situations fac- ed by Thunderstudents almost every semester. Where would you go if you needed legal advice in a hurry? A few semesters ago you could have gone to the campus legal aid organization, but that is not possible today.

Every semester a dozen or so students pass through this school with legal backgrounds. There have been fairly successful attempts in the past to mobilize some of these students to help their fellow T-birds out of a jam. The problem, accorfling to Professor Robert Tancer, is that these students quickly graduate and move on, leaving

the program to fall on its face. Such is the situation today.

Professor Tancer, in addition to his teaching duties in the I.S. Department. runs a law firm in Phoenix. He has acted as consultant to student-run legal aid groups in the past, and is generally available to advise students on legal matters at little or no cost. He simply can not devote the time, however, to a full-time program.

A wide variety of legal aid programs exist on campuses around the country. Arizona State University, for example, has a full-time department employing qualified lawyers who donate their time at little or no charge. Some schools in California, each too small to have such a service individually, have grouped together to form a common organiza- tion. Monetary aid from civic organiza- tions such as chambers of commerce, Kiwams Clubs, churches, professional organizations and other interested groups helps to supplement expenses paid from student body fees. Students carry a card telling them what to do when busted and listing a 24-hour telephone number where they can call for help. In most cases busted students are released on their own recognizance. A wide variety of other services, such as providing information on patients' rights in hospitals, newsletters, and speakers are provided as well.

Letter to the EditorTo the Editor:

For those students unaware either by choice or exclu- sion of the current "political" diatribes debated in the men's rooms across campus, these arguments can be summarized, expletives deleted, as the product of small ami irrational minds.

These interchanges center primarily around the Arab- Israeli conflict and the efforts of our stall-side participants to inveigh as emotionally and obscenely as possible against the proponents of the other "side." Evidence the choice references to the participants mothers, various sexual prac- tices and anatomical ir- regularities. Three cheers for anthropomorphic imagina- tion. A pity it isn't germaine to political issues. There are a few attempts at objectivity or at the teast a suppression

of emotionalism, but by and large most comments are at- tempts to strengthen one posi- tion by the vilification of the other.

! have heard, not in- frequently, that Thunderbird is somewhat an issue-less campus, a school whose student body is too engrossed in things academic, professional and ex- tracurricular to bother seriously with trenchant in- ternational debate. Evidently mis is not so. We nave amongst us a group of students foreign or domestic? who are con- cerned with voicing here and now their views about current international issues. (So, thii is graduate school, one might say; the grafitti is sexual- political versus wholly sexual)

Athletic DirectorThis semester's racquetbail

tourney is over and the winner of the A Division was the favorite, Monty Murpbey, defeating Bob Burke. The B Division winner was Steve Rogers. Congratulations.

The men's soccer team lost a hard-fought game to the Cosmos, 3-1. Even though the outcome was not favorable for AGSIM, the fans should be proud of the performance against the defending Arizona League Champs.

For those interested per sons: the weight room is open for men and women. Those needing a key may obtain one from Dean Beaver's office for a dollar which is refundable when the key is returned. Upon using the facilities please display care with the limited material. By the end of the semester it is hoped that the locker room facilities as well as the weight room situa

tion win be improved. It must be remembered that some things take time and we are giving all efforts toward the needed improvements. Editor's Note: I would fike to announce to all interested par ties that the situation with the basketball court is being acted on.

These are on-going organizations which continue to exist even when the par ticipants rhangf We cooid have such a program at AGSIM, but it would take stu dent input.
