SCIP Sponsor's Springer Talk Janet Mott

NR Staff Reporter

Jerry Springer, Governor John Gilligan's special advisor to youth and director of the Ohio Youth Corps, will speak Thursday evening, Feb. 4, about the political and social power of youth in today's society. The program is sponsored by the Student Community Involvement Program (SCIP). Springer will speak in the Losantiville room of TUC at 8 P.M. The meeting is open to the general public.

The newly formed Youth Corps is aimed at involving Ohio youth in community action programs, research projects, and political pressure groups. It .was established to

coordinate student originated and operated projects and to enable the young people of Ohio to be heard.

In the past few weeks Springer has been traveling throughout Ohio in order to talk with representatives of various student volunteer and community involvement organizations such as SCIP. After he sees what kinds of programs already exist, Springer will decide what direction and form his new agency will take.

Springer became well known in the Cincinnati area when he ran as the Democratic candidate for the Second Congressional District seat against Republican Donald Clancy. In the heavily Republican district, Springer receivl)d 45 per cent of the vote.

U-~ollege Offering lnner-C i ty Studies Two new programs offered by the

University College are providing many of Cincinnati's inner-city residents with an unexpectea opportunity for a college education.

Inaugurated at UC last September, the one-year child care aides program leads to a diploma and the two-year human services technicians program leads to an associate degree.

Twenty-one students, ranging in age from 17 to 35, are currently · studying to be child care aide.s. Sixty·nine students, ages 19 to 34, are enrolled in the human services technicians program.

"There is a definite need in Cincinnati for qualified child care aides," Mrs. Anne Dorsey, UC instructor in child development and coordinator of the aide program, asserted.

The program, she explained, grew out of a pilot project which was set up at UC last year to offer intensive training in child care to employees of six day care centers.

"We realized the need to provide child care training for employed personnel who were working without prior experience or knowledge of children," Mrs. Dorsey sai!l.

As a result, the child care aides program was developed to train capable assistants for teachers in day care centers, nursery schools, and Head Start programs.

Funding of the program is shared by the Neighborhood Youth Corps of the Citizens Committee on Youth, the Ohio Bureau of Employment Services Work Incentive Program, and the New Careers Project of the Concentrated Employment Program.

Students perform field work in nine different day care centers five mornings a week and attend classes during the afternoons. All classes are taught by Mrs. Dorsey at UC's Ada Hart Arlitt Child Development Center.

"During the first quarter, courses emphasize child development, beginning with the pre-natal stage," Mrs. Dorsey explained. "Later we discuss such areas as child guidance, scheduling of routines, and playtime activities.

Graduates of the program will be equipped to function as full assistant& to classroom teachers. Duties of the child care aide, Mrs. Dorsey said, include assisting in on-going class activities, guiding free play, and bringing materials and activities to the center for the children,

"An aide is more than a person

who keeps the center neat and tidy.'' Mrs. Dorsey commented. "She must be concerned with the development of the children she works with and she must relate to pre-schoolers with warmth and understanding, in addition to establishing inter-personal relationships with other staff members and parents.

Students who receive the diploma are eligible for transfer to UC's associate degree program in child care technology.

The human services technicians program, coordinated by Miss Debbie Upshaw, is funded by the New Careers Project, a division of the United States Department of Labor's. Concentrated Employment Program.

"The program is designed to develop skilled para-professionals in the human services who can identify with both their client and their employer," Miss Upshaw explained. "By relating to the background of his client, the human services technician will be more effective in providing professional services for that client.''

Students currently taking part in the program are specializing in such area as social welfare, employment counseling, maternity and infant care, health education, public relations, and law enfo'tcement and corrections. They receive on-the-job training at assigned locations, including Cincinnati General Hospital, Millvale Day Care Center, and WCET-TV, from 8 a.m. to noon daily and attend classes in the afternoon.

The enrollees, all of whom must meet federal poverty guidelines to be eligible for the program, include Blacks, Puerto Ricans, Appalachians, and other minority group members.

Although a high school diploma or the equivalent is not required for entry into the program, it must be obtained before receiving an associate degree. As a result, many are taking both high school and

_£9llege courses. "Yor many, this is their last big

effort to work within the system," Roy Roberts, director of weekly core group meetings for the students, commented.

Tapping Today

Omicron Delta Kappa, national leadership honor society for upperclassmen, will hold its annual tapping this afternoon at 12 :30 in the Faculty Lounge of the Tangeman University Center.

Springer was born in London in 1944 of German parents who had fled Hitler. In 1949, his family immigrated to New York City, where Springer earned a New York State Regents Scholarship. H-e received hia B.A. in political science from Tulane University in 1965 and his law degree from Northwestern in 1968.

Springer served as an aide to Senator Robert Kennedy in the 1968 Presidential campaign and, after Kennedy's death, came to Cincinnati. He became an attorney with the Frost and Jacobs law firm, a position he no longer holds. The following year he was named Hamilton County chairman of the Vote-19 campaign, which, though losing statewide, was carried in Hamilton County by 10,000 votes.

Tom Hickey, SCIP chairman, said of Springer, "In talking with Jerry Springer, one immediately sees his enthusiasm and boldness. He sees the necessity for big changes and sincerely wants to be involved in making those changes."

SCIP, founded in 1967 as the Student Volunteer Center and renamed the Student Community Involvement Program in 1969, currently has over ' 1100 members. These members are involved in the community outside of the UC campus in a twofold way. First, they assist the various social agencies, hospitals, schools, churches, and community centers throughout the city in their progralll$.

In their second and more important role, these students are able to actually work in the surrounding community. Instead of just reading or hearing about the problems in today's society, they are able to see them firsthand.

In 'speaking about SCIP's objectives, Hickey said, "Most college students find it more and more difficult to commit themselves to anything. Our commitment is to people. SCIP's hope is that students who are interested in giving of themselves and in learning about the world with which they must begin to concern themselves, will find a meaningful experience in SCIP."

Public Hearing On Unrest Set

A public hearing by a subcommittee of the Ohio Legislative Committee on Campus Unrest will begin at 9 a.m., Feb. 4, in Room 103, Procter Hall.

Chaired by House Majority Floor Leader, Robert E. Levitt, the subcommittee is visiting UC to hear reactions to the committee's interim report and to assess changes in University conditions, policies and procedures since the committee's visit in June.

Other subcommittee members are Rep. Joseph P. Tulley, Sen. Howard C. Cook, Rep. Richard M. Ch.ristiansen, and Sen. Robert E. Stockdale.

Those wishing to testify at the hearing must register in advance at the Tangeman University Center Information Desk. Testimony will be limited to ten minutes per person and submission of written testimony Is encouraged.

Following the public hearings, the Committee has announced that a public forum will be held.

The Levitt Committee visited UC last June; the group is presently completing a final report on campus disruptions. In Ohio, their interim report was submitted last Octob~r.

Armacost Calls For Change To Make Liberation Possible

Dr. Peter H. Armacost, president of Ottawa, Kansas, University, called for "widespread reform and renewal in higher education in order to make true human liberation possible" in a speech in the Great Hall Thursday.

Appearing as the second in a series of five speakers on "The University in a Revolutipnary Society," the 35-year-old educator decried "the disparity between the claims of education ·and what actually takes-· place in the classroom setting."

"The aim of higher education should be the creation on campuses of a setting for optimal development of eacn individual's potential • liberation throu-gh

education," Armacost said. He added that colleges and universities should send out men and women "who are free to choose what they want to do with their lives and knowledgeable in the wise use of that freedom."

Armacost characterized most !!fforts at reform within the ~iversities thus far as "false starts."

"Educators have been dealing with the wrong questions," he claimed.

Instead of concentrating on reform of particular courses or teaching methods, Armacost said, curriculum reformers must begin with basics.

''For example, the current de~_ of most educational programs

· separates intellect and emotion."

New Concession Stand Opens In TUC

The new University Center Concession Area opened on Friday. The location is the third floor between the Bridge Lobby and the Main Lobby of the University Center. The beautifully designed area contains a large assortment of cigarettes, tobaccos and candy. Beginning Feb. 1, the Wall Street Journal, National Observer, Barrons and local newspapers will be available. Hours are 8:30a.m. until8 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 8:30 a.m. uhtil9:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and noon until 7 p.m. Sunday.

The University Center Ticket Office has also been relocated and improved. Tickets for all University events other than Athletic Tickets are available at the University Center Ticket Office. The Ticket Office is now located on the South side of the Main Lobby, third floor level of the University Center. The hours are 11 a.m. until 7 p.m.' Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. Saturday. Reservations for most events may be secured by phoning 475·4553.

With the separation of the Concession Area from the Information Desk located in the

NEWSPAPERS NEWSPAPERS NEWSPAPERS NEWSPAPERS NEWSPAPERS

Bridge Lobby of the University Center, the Information Desk will · become an enlarged Information distribution center and Student Service area. It is h6ped that information will be fed into this Desk from all areas of the campus and will be readily available to students who may ask questions. If an answer is not immediately available, the personnel of the Information Desk will secure it.

College Bulletins, Room Schedule Books, Class Schedules, Student Directories will be available for reference. '

An improved Lost and Found area will be located here. Refunding for vending machines, distribution of student petitions, keys for Organization Rooms, distribution of mail for Student Orianizations, a magazine lendini library, and a small supply of First Aid items, campus maps, bus schedules, and approval of posters for distribution throughout the University Center will be among the many student services the new improved Information Desk will provide. The Information Desk will maintain the same hours · as the University Center.

Armacost noted. "The tremendous importance of non-classroom experience is not recognized. Credit is given for classroom work only."

Commenting on the current "information explosion," he argued that education should be more concerned with helping students "learn how to learn" by ·acquiring methods of thought and analysis than with merely imparting facts and figures.

He criticized the grading system as ineffective and impersonal.

"Grades frequently reward the wrong kinds of student behavior by encouraging memorization and surface knowledge and discouraging real understanding."

In undertaking a "basic overhaul" in an area such as curriculum, Armacost urged universities to spend time "clarifying objectives and setting developmental goals" before offering specific proposals.

''Graduation requirements, for instance, should be tailor-made to fit the individual student's needs, and abilities," Armacost said.

He cited Ottawa's program of "graduation contracts" as a step in this area. Students at the small, private college enter into a "graduation contract" with the university as freshmen. Each contract is drawn up after extensive consultation between the student and a faculty advisory board. Credit for non-classroom experiences may be given, as long as this has been agreed upon by student and advisor. ·

A graduate of Denison University, Granville, 0., and the University of Minnesota, Armacost became president of Ottawa in 1967. His lecture was sponsored by the UC chapter of Omicron Delta Kappa, national men's honorary society.

The next address in the series will be by Dr. William M. Birenbaum,

· president, Staten Island Community College, New York, on Feb. 9.

Extends Present Services

Drug Control Program Set Andy Marcus

NR Staff Reporter

''Working with and extending existing community service functions to make a flexible and comprehensive narcotic addiction program is the basis of the Narcotic Addiction Program Proposal of the Central Community Health Board (CCHB)," said Milton Cloud chairman of the proposal committee:

The proposal calls for the establishment of five essential services, said Cloud. To be set up is a 24·hour Emergency Service, a Theraputic Community or Live-in treatment house for ex-addicts, an Outpatient Service, a Detoxification Service for the application of the substitute drug methodone, and a Consultation and Education Service. All components of the program, as specified in a fact sheet released by the committee, are to be coordinated by a Narcotic Addiction Program Director and his central administrative staff.

The Narcotic Addiction Program (NAP) committee is the only committee of the CCHB to have submitted a proposal to the National

Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). The NIMH is the Federal granting agency for the establishment of community health boards, he said.

Emphasizing continuity of care, the community health centers are to be "consistent with already established comprehensive mental health activities as well as taking into account other related activities,'' states a book published by the NIMH. Through over-all direction and planning, the centers will develop and coordinate new services while trying "to eliminate excessive gaps and duplications that occur when services grow up independently of each other,'' explained the NIMH's Planning, Programming, and Design for The Community Mental Health Center.

The CCHB is to serve 13 communities of the central Cincinnati area, said George Peterson, Community Co-ordinator. Consisting of two delegates from each of the Community councils whose communities make up the area, the Board in this way seeks wide support and involvment of the people it is to serve, noted a CCHB pamphlet.

"The role of the CCHB, '~ said

Peterson, "is to find new ways to get services out to people more rapidly and effectively.''

The creation of multi-purpose community teams, noted Cloud, is a basic aspect of the program. "The idea is to get service workers out of the office and onto the streets," he said.

Working primarily in the detection and prevention of mental and physical illness, the teams will be given responsibilit y for supplying the whole range of services·precare, treatment , and aftercare. Made up of 13 to 19 community people with drug or community experience, the teams will operate in no particular community, said Cloud.

As o ne of the two basic administrative patterns outlined in the NIMH book, the community team idea seems characteristic of a central theme of the community health centers .

"Where the conventional treatment center of the past," states the NIMH book, "has been self contained and often virtually untouched by the culture of the communit ies it served, The Community Mental Health Center will be decentralized and sensitive to local resources and needs.

The Presilknt's Reply As noted in previous editorials, the News Record commends

President Langsam on his recent decision to meet with leading representatives of the University Senate, perhaps the most important body on campus.

The meeting, suggested by the President, served as his response to criticism of certain regulations in the recently adopted Board of Directors' Policy.

While the President showed a definite desire to understand the concerns of members of the campus community, his response was somewhat less than they, and we, had hoped for.

However, the session itself was not without rewards. In the first major response to the report, he provided certain clarification of what was the most controversial aspect of the policy: the President's power to summarily suspend a student without a hearing first. According to the President, this passage shall be interpreted to refer to instances in which the President himself sees a student al;lout to perform a violent action on University property.

Thus, while the threat of summary suspension may still balance perilously over students, presumably it would be used only to directly avert destructive action.

More significantly is the resort to the University Judicial Council that will be had in all other circumstances, according to Langsam.

After months of conflict, discussion, and recommendation, then, a small step has been taken in the appropriate direction.

We therefore recognize and are appreciative of this attempt by the President to help assure that voices of student and faculty leaders are considered in the policy-making process.

* * * In other aspects, the meeting's results were not quite as

favorable. Discussing the limitations now imposed on where students and faculty may protest and indicate grievances, the president suggested that to allow the use of the A-4 Plaza for such purposes was an improvement over previous regulations.

In fact, the Charter of Student Rights and Responsibilities, accepted by the Board of Directors, contains no limitations on student protest, beyond prohibiting such activity in classrooms and in administrative offices.

Without delving further into the background of issues such as these, we simply state that modifications in these regulations should have been implemented as well.

The President also indicated to the Executive Council that at the conclusion of this school year, he would evaluate the proposal and submit a report to the Board of Directors.

For this action also the President is to be commended. We cim only presume that all criticisms of the policy will be included in this report.

Along similar lines, we cannot forget that within the next several months, a new chief administrative officer will be appointed whose prerogatives will include authority to modify the policy further, or even eliminate aspects of it which campus leaders have judged questionable.

Members of the University Senate's Executive Council, did however, find objections to much of the President's rationale. We eagerly await the release of these remarks.

Return to the Swamps In view of the controversy recently accrued from the criticisms

of Kenneth Hoop directed against a News Record columnist in these pages, we feel that a clarification of our position is n_eeded. The News Record publishes those letters and columns whtch are not in content illegal, obscene, or libellous; letters and columns printed do not represent the official position of the News· Record, but of the individual whose name appears upon them.

As for Mr. Hoop, we find his racist, anti-semitic, conspiratorial cant to be nonsense; humanity will be far better off when denizens of the fever swamps, such as Mr. Hoop, have returned from whence they came.

THE UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI NEWS RECORD February 2, 1971

Shooting the Hoop L-------------------------------------------------------------Lew Aloores

"Fa-nat-ic (adj): marked by excessive enthusiasm and intense uncritical devotion-"

Let me say, first off, that Kenneth C. Hoop is a fanatic. And he is the first I've ever met on the right . Sure, I've known Birchers, have relatives who are construction workers and would delight in stomping revolutionaries, and know people who are notoriously racist. Yet their fears are idiosyncratic; they do not live and breathe their hang-ups. They only rise to the surface when prodded.

But Hoop is different. He is one-dimensional; his personality is his committment. A Zionist Communist Conspiracy rules the country the manifestations of which can be seen in my Editor-in-Chief (who is Jewish), in the United States' support of Israel over the Arabs in the Mideast, in Brown v. Board of Ed, in the Civil Rights Acts, etc. ad

infinitum. And of course to helieve. as he does, that we are on the brink of disaster accounts for his unreasonable approach to the situation.

He maintains that the time for debating is over. Either you're for us or against us. Those who do not agree with us must be re-educated and made aware of the realities. Militancy will accomplish what is otherwise unforseeable because the system has surrendered to THEM. Sounds like the mouthings of the New Left, the crazies. Mr. Hoop's paranoia is not unique; there's gobs of it in the Independent Eye.

I have had occasion to read Statecraft, which Mr. Hoop claims is an affiliate of the National Youth Alliance. For the uninitiated,. Statecraft is simultaneously a newspaper and a movement dedicated to, well, dedicated to the promotion of an attitude reminiscent

of the attitude prevalent in Germany during the Thirties and Fourties. It~ blatantly racist, anti-semitic. and extremely nationalistiC.

Listen to this: "The need for patriotic terror gangs is overwhelming. Our cities have become jungles. Hippy drug addicts kill and attack peopl~ all of the time. Black power savages riot and burn in an attempt to destroy our society while enjoying more and more of our White women. Proselytiz ing homosexuals and other degenerates are quickly turning Western Civilization into a cesspool." Nice.

This is interesting, primarily because it manifests a paradox. In fact, the entire issue of Statecraft manifests a paradox. Statecraft and Mr. Hoop contend the white race is inherently superior to all other races. Look, if you will, at their culture, their technological progress, their

I : W eirdoes J ._ _______________ Greg East There is a new class in our society

which is growing larger every day: the Weirdoes.

I got a letter the other day from a weirdo, a former head of the Weathermen faction of the SDS. He told me about how he had died and passed on to Another World:

"The last thing I remember was the Molotov cocktail exploding. I was gonna throw it at this old lady who called me a hippie fag, but it slipped out of my hand. Gosh! Well, all's well that ends well , as Chairman Mao used to say.

" It didn't hurt me, though! I knew it wouldn't, because anyone who reads 'Quotations from Chairman Mao' faithfully every day is invulnerable, and I read at least one Quotation a day.

"A funny thing happened, though. I found myself standing in front of this concrete wall that I had never seen before! And all along the wall, for as far as I could see, these long-haired guys, who were wearing faded green army jackets and tie-dyed jeans, were running back and forth, spraying furiously wit h these cans of black spray paint.

I was awestruck when I finally realized what they were doin~. They

were really putting same nice stuff down on that wall! Yeah, stuff like 'Free Bobby', 'Off the Pig', and of course, 'Mao Comes'! All my favorite slogans!

"I grabbed myself a can of spray paint and started spraying like crazy. As I wrote 'Che Lives' on the wall, with my lip curled in a disdainful sneer, I knew that I had died after all, but I didn't care: because I was in Radical Heaven!"

::lhortly after I received this letter a woman came into my life, a liberated woman. I was taking a walk one morning when I saw this huge cloud of black smoke billowing up from behind a building. Fearing a fire, I quickly ran around to the back of the building. I was astonished to find a young woman, dressed in a sweatshirt and jeans, busily throwing women's brassieres onto a rapidly growing fire!

I realized at once that she must be a Liberated Woman, and, not wishing to look like a square, I yelled something like "Burn, Baby, Burn!" That was a mistake.

At the sound of my voice, the bra-burner whirled around, screaming, "Baby, huh! I'll show you

who's a baby, you goddam male chauvinist pig! En garde! "

She had a long, sharp stiletto in her hand, a "pig-sticker." At first, I thought she was just making some kind of a curious symbolic gesture, but then I saw the words "Penis Envy" engraved on the blade!

I thought it was time to split, and I took off around the building, with " Penis Envy" close behind. After running a couple of blocks, I went around a corner and ducked into a beauty parlor, desperately hoping to lose her. I figured she would refuse to follow me in there.

But of all places, I had run into a radical beauty parlor which was only a front for the Women's Liberation Headquarters. At that moment the Liberated Woman appeared at the doorway with "Penis Envy·!"

"Get h im, he's a spy from Playboy!" she yelled. It was a rotten lie, but no matter. I was pelted with a barrage of hair curlers and hair-spray cans, and fell unconscious. Even a turncoat male hairdresser threw his scissors at me, but he missed.

What happened after I passed out is too horrible to describe. Just call me "Shorty."

aggregate intelligence, their beauty, counter-punches Hoop after being challenged to show cause for his fanaticism. Yet, Statecraft's appeal and its advocacy of barbarism ("patriotic terror gangs) belie the paper's confidence in the endurance of the white race (I will admit, I am not quite sure whom Mr. Hoop includes in the white race ... I do not believe Russians are included). Surely if the white race is superior and if America is the most advanced civilization in the world, then would it not follow that it will outlive any feeble attempt to destroy it without having resort to "patriotic terror gangs", amassing arsenals, and racist appeals? Obviously Mr. Hoop does not really believe we are all that superior.

When I turned the conspiracy theory against him he went into a rage. I suggested that Moscow and PeJting were surreptitiously financintt. Statecraft in an attempt to discredit the Right. I must admit, the theory was not original; it was offered, mock-solemnly, to me by a Bircher. Mr. Hoop talked of how "responsible" conservatives were being coddled by the Left, obviously designed as a promotion of one brand of conservatism. All other brands are toxic. The Left-Liberal-Hippie-Degenerate­Queer-Communist-Conspirator fears the Radical Right and will do anything to make it seem unpalatable for American consumption. The way they accomplish this, charges Mr. Hoop, is to set up conservative, weak-kneed dupes as the responsible conservative spokesmen.

And as long as the American people believe these dupes to be the true conservatives, there will be no need for the left to fear the nationalistic thrusts of "patriotic terror gangs", for the people will opt for liberal-approved conservatives.

No need to further this exercise. The more you read of Statecraft and the more you listen to Mr. Hoop, the more bored you become. I am sure that I do not have to point out the differences between conservatism and racism or between conservatism and Nazism. The differences are outlined in any "liberal-approved" textbook. But I will say this, finally: the differences between Mr. Hoop's brand of right-wingism and Nazi Germany's are geographical, not philosophical.

Letters to the Editor Hoop Response Continued

To the Editor: I have just finished reading

Kenneth C. Hoop's diatribe on the "questionable conservatism" of Lew Moores and I must say that there unfortunately are characters such as Hoop who exist and give conservatism a bad name. Lew Moores really does not need to be defended in view of the ridiculousness of these attacks; yet, I feel it is evident and should be stated that Lew is basically a conservative (if Hoop wants the opinion of someone else).

What really irked me was Hoop's mention of the John Birch Society which was tantamount to an excellent smear job (via association with the illegal Minutemen, anti-Semitism, and race hatred) on the JBS. The John Birch Society opposes the illegal Minutemen, anti-Semitism, and race hatred; this is evidenced by the JBS's Support Your LOcal Police (And Keep Them Independent) Committees and the growmg number -ot Jews and Blacks who are members of JBS, not to exclude the literature JBS publishes.

Although it would be impossible to fully describe JBS with the limitations of this letter, I think the most important aspect of JBS should be noted and that is the John Birch Society is an educational organization that strives to show t he fallacies of collectivistic thought and the innate success of individualism. True, Robert Welch, the founder, m aintains there has been a conspiracy which continues to exist and which is devoted to destroying individualism through collectivistic schemes. And, there is a yalid, rational argument complete with documentation to substantiate this. All that is needed is an inquiring mind.

Getting back to Mr. Hoop, it · is obvious that he has been taken in by the Race Hatred Game, and if had it not been for his mentioning of JBS, I would not have wasted my time commenting on him. He seems to have adequately committed intellectual suicide with his own words.

To the Editor:

Randall Haines A&S '73

Kenneth C. Hoop's letter in the Jan. 26, 1971, News Record is typical of the irrational, incoherent thinking that Hoop has displayed in earlier scratchings, one of which caused his suspension at Cincinnati's Withrow High School.

Hoop was thrown out of Withrow last year for distributing what was termed as "hate literature" at an assembly honoring certain black leaders. Many students gave the black power salute at this assembly. I agree that t h.e proceedings of the assembly and the questionable loyalty of some of these black leaders may have dismayed Hoop, but his extreme and unthinking action warranted his suspension. The literature he distributed was incoherent in thought, obviously whtte supremacist, and totally ridiculous. And now Hoop pretends that he is qualified to sit in judgment on Lew Moores' political philosophy! I doubt that Hoop has clearly defined his own political philosophy.

l.Alw certainly does not consider himself "Mr. Conservative." This title has been levied upon him by those who (recognizip.g that being a conservative on campus today is very unpopular) canno~ attack his ideas in any other way.

Lew Moores supports President Nixon and YAF because he supports t hose persons and groups whose goals and political philosophy most effectively reflect his own. Besides, Wallace did not endorse Hoop's National Youth Alliance. In fact, several Wallace supporters warned me about the NYA's extremist leanings.

Moores does not "dive under the bed" at the mention of the word "racism"; Lew probably believed that any discussion of racism with Hoop would have been futile.

Hoop claims that "Western White Civilization" (notice that in his letter Hoop capitalizes "white" but fails to capitalize "black") is responsible for America 's greatness. That America was predominantly white was not the cause of her greatness. The ideas and universal truths that Americans held made her great. Many blacks hold the same ideas and truths.

Hoop also appears to believe that the Jews are conspiring to rule the world. Although we cannot disregard the possibility of an international communist conspiracy in which prominent Jews have a role, it is s illy to believe that the holders of the Jewish faith, en masse,, are trying to control t he world. Zionism is not a "totalitarian scheme" but the movement for Jews to return to their homeland, Israel.

Mr. Hoop is incorrect to assume that the mass of Jews do not understand Western culture. Efficient business and industry was made possible by Western ideas-1 don't see the Jews faltering here! That is to say, not only have many Jews been "assimilated" by Western culture-they have played a key part in assimilating Western culture!

Hoop confuses Western culture with Christianity. Christianity, as Jesus pointed out, is "to the Jew first, and also to the Greek," and is, therefore, a Semetic culture. The meaning and intent · of Christianity has been distorted by the organized Western religions. Jesus considered himself a Jew, not a Christian.

Hoop also confuses nationalism with conservatism. The paramilitary Minutemen are not conservative political philosophers looking for truth and enlightenment for their fellow men-they are politically ignorant henchmen (as are the Ku Klux Klan) looking and waiting for a fight. These men are of the same breed as the brown shirts of the Nationalist Socialist (Nazi) Workers Party to whom Germany, but not truth, was all important. The Minutemen are • . America ' s brown shirts of a sort.

Whereas it is a basic right for a citizen to keep and bear arms in defense of his life and property, most patriotic Americans delegate this right-to-force to police or military regulated 6y law (and also better trained and qualified to use discretion in decisions involving the use of force h · If the members of paramilitary groups were politicldly sophisticated, they would realize that U.S. communism is often an invisible force at work and that physical force outside the law against radical students, for example, would be treatirlg only t he symptoms of the disease. They would realize t hat innocent-looking organizations such as the Southern Conference Education Fund could be a front for left-wing activity and cannot be touched through armed force.

Effective anti-Communism lies in the research and education provided by organizations such as YAF, the John Birch Society, and the United States Anti-Communist Congress.

Mr . Hoop's le t ter should adequately warn the reader of the quality of leadership in the National Youth Alliance and should point out to NY A the need for a new head of NYA in Cincinnati.

Better Late

To the editor: Re : Articles written by Mr. Rose and Mr. Moores in the Oct. 20th edition of the News Record, which appeared under the headinl( of "An American Tragedy."

It seemed a very well coordinated effort on the part of the authors, one of the beknighted religious crusader, one the irate watchdog of aociety, protecting us from the "fiends masquerading as doctors."

It was very kind of Mr. Rose to point out that Beethoven would never have lived had his mother had an abortion. Certainly this is a valid point and not to be contested. Mr. Rose continues by suggesting we are threatening "countless unborn geniuses" by the legalization of abortion. This is statistically questionable, but not worth debating here. We are not sure if Mr. Rose chose these examples to begin his article because of their obvious shock value, or because he felt that geniuses and Beethoven are just better people to have around than others perhaps less endowed.

In any case, this was not the most annoying facet of Mr. Rose's or Mr. Moores' articles. To try to impose a Christian doctrine that not everyone subscribes to is insensitive. We would also like to remind Mr. Rose that one of the founding principles of this nation is the distinct separation of Church and state. Church doctrine may indeed by misplaced when it is trust into the secular arena of a heterogeneously populated nation. Does Mr. Rose think that a poverty-ridden family wit h ten children, no father, little food, little room to live, really cares about Tho mist physiology, Thomist metaphysics, or even the Rose crusade? We doubt it.

To continue, Mr. Rose shows ignorance or disregard for some very basic scientific facts. Potential life exists not only in the first month of pregnancy, or the fourth, but in the father and the mother indeed in any male and femal~, inde~d, in everyone: Mr. Rose's astute understanding of the origin of human life as being the time of conception is scientifically rather fantastic.

Mr. Moores compliments Mr. Rose quite well. He begins in a no less dramatic fashion, never ignoring the shock value of the coat-hangers and the -grimy back offices. Mr. Moores continues by stating that the decision to abort or not to abort after conception is not the mother's and apparently not the doctor's. "To scrape away what is genetically human is morally repugnant ... A team of doctors should not abort a fetus to save its mother." Is not the continuation of the mother's life significant?

To sacrifice the mother because you happen to think you know when life begins is something that we find hard to accept.

We haven't seen this kind of misrepresentation of fact and demagoguery in a college newspaper art icle in a long time.

Finally, we will pose one further question. Is the true " American Tragedy" the one to which these two editorialists have referred or is this tragedy more likely of a sort depicted in Drieser's An American Tragedy in which an unwanted pregnancy and a close-minded society leads to the destruction of the lives of all the parties involved?

Buffaloes Stampede Bearcats Steve Davidson and Ray Golson

combined for 53 points for visiting West Texas State as the intruders battled to a 94-83 downing of the Bearcats. Davidson and Golson collected 27 and 26 points respectively in the Saturday n ight contest.

Steve Wenderfer, although plagued by fouls throughout much of the second half and playing just 28 minutes of the game, led four Bearcats in double figures for the scoring leadership of the Cincy squad with 24 points. Wenderfer was followed by Dave Johnson with 19 points and Derek Dickey with 18 points and 16 rebounds. Don Hess, returning for the first time as a regular since December, added 11

points. Two Bearcats fell into foul trouble

in the second half-Wenderfer and Dennis Bosse, who only had six minutes of playing time. Jerry Schmeider had four fouls and Dickey had three . The Bearcats now have a total of 53 fouls in the last two games.

Meanwhile West Texas put three men in double figures. Besides Davidson and Golson, Ralph Houston dropped 17 points.

Substitutions were frequent from the UC bench as Coach Baker searched vainly for the key to victory. All ten Bearcats saw action with only four seeing less than ten minutes.

Before .!_he game, the first change

OPENS WEDNESDAY THE LOSER

of the night was noted as Hess returned to starting forward and Schmeider moved to guard. Greg Jurcisin and Charley Snow went to the bench as Dickey moved to center.

The actual turning point in the game came when Davidson hit on a lay-up to give West Texas a 37-35 lead with 2:27 remaining in the half. From then on, it was as if the Bearcats weren't even playing as the Buffaloes pushed to a 45·35 halftime.

With 8:46 remaining in the game, . the Bearcats were down by 22 points, 79·57. This lead was never matched again, though, as Cincinnati slowly chopped it down to the final margin. The 9-8 Cats play Richmond tonight at 8:30p.m. in the Fieldhouse.

Shinn, and Dale Portis won their respective events to lead the gymnastic team to a 87-72 victory over Eastetn Kentucky Saturday at Richmond, Ky.

Memphis State, who was also scheduled to appear in the Richmond meet, was forced to cancel due to a mix-up in their schedule.

UC standouts were Thompson, first in the still rings, Shinn, who captured a first in the parallel bars, and Portis who copped the other first place for the Bearcats, in vaulting. Other Cincy performers who placed high in the competition were: Paul "Mongoloid" Glassman, second in the still rings; Jim Hilliard, second in the side horse; and Jamie O'Conner, a transfer from the Raymond Walters Branch, placed second in floor exercises.

"Our guys are consistantly improving with each meet and I feel we should have a pretty respectable record at the season's end," commented coach Gary Leibrock.

The Cats now stand 2-2 on the year.

Sanders Open House

To the Editor : I would like to express my sincere

appreciation to those members of the Residence Hall Association who gave

f, of their time to act as guides and 'monitors during the "open house" at the Sander's Residence Complex on Thursday, Jan. 21.

It is, indeed, unfortunate that News Record Assistant Editor David Litt saw fit to write such a negative article the following day. I was present during a good part of the four-hour visitation and found that the majority of students were very enthusiastic and complimentary in regard to the total project. Most were very appreciative that they were permitted to view the building in its present stage of construction.

As you know, it is impossible to plan any structure on a campus anci satisfy everyone, but if we are able to plan a structure that satisfies the majority we have accomplished our goal. We feel we have done this with Sanders.
