Socialist Group Releases Paper i nc following is a nummary or a policy statement released by the Students for Socialists Action on the t'nited States Foreign Pol ley In Viet Nam. Its title Is “Viet nam. the American Hungary." The civil war in Vietnam is be tween Saigon and the peasants in the countryside. It is a con flict between the Front of Na tional Liberation's (Vietcong), and the U S. maintained Saigon military machine, government of South Vietnam. Without the support of the people, the Front would collapse lint it hasn't. Instead, according to the (Eugene Register-Guard, Dec. 13, 1964) ", . . Numerical strength has been rocketing . . . despite heavy battle losses ’’ The insurgence has captured the imagination and loyalty of the people. "Clearly the war ef fort would quickly collapse with out massive U S. support ” (Busi ness Week, Jan. 2, 1965 ) Despite the misconception, the bulk of the Vietcong's weapons are gained by capture. The U S. government and me dia are imposing a lie upon the American people. Our govern ment’s unilateral war against Vietnam is a grotesque betrayal of to use the words of right wingers the principles of self determination. The present ad ministration has no concern for tiie loss of lives in Vietnam The administration is concerned with only expediency of U S. imperial ism. The policy is one of killing people because of their political beliefs. We call for an immediate ceasefire and withdrawal of all U S military personnel and equip ment along with an immediate conference of all nations involv ed concerning: (1) shipment of food, medical supplies and other equipment, handled by neutrals; 12) assurance of free elections for the formation of a represen tative government; (3) an agree ment that Indochina will be freed from military intervention. CORE Pickets House... from p ith’ 1) said it was rented a short while ago "CORE sent a white tester to try to rent the house from Mrs f'.rown just one hour later Mrs Brown told hirn the house was available and that she would hold it for him." Different Account Mrs Brown presented a differ ent viewpoint of the situation to The Emerald She said the house was already rented to one Mrs Donald Meyers of Eugene before Mrs Rucker tried to rent the house last Sunday Mrs Brown said "Mrs Rucker came to look at the house last Sunday. 1 told her a lady (Mrs. Meyers) had already put money down on the house I said the house was rented if the owner (Bixley) agreed to have Mrs Meyers as a tenant. “A white man came to see me later Sunday. He asked me if the house was for rent I told him someone had already put money down on the house. How ever, I told him 1 did not think Mr Bixley would rent to Mrs. Meyers. 1 said this because Mrs Meyers did not want to rent the house until Feb. 1. "Willing to Rent" “The man said he wanted to rent the house right away. So I though Mr Bixley would he willing to rent it to him ” Mrs Brown said, "I never told Mrs Rucker that she could not have the house. I merely said it was already rented as far as I knew." She also said that Bixler never told her not to rent to Negroes. "I don't feel that 1 was discrim inating. I was merely trying to get someone who was acceptable to Mr Bixler to rent the house." "I Don't Care” "It makes no difference to me who rents the house. 1 don't care who moves into the house,” she said Bixler said the house is no longer for rent He is trying to sell it. Mrs. Brown said Bixler told the investigator from thp Bureau of Labor that someone was already interested in buying the house. Mrs Brown said: "I’m not rent ing anyone else’s house a n y more I’ve had it ” According to DeBarry, about 100 CORK members have pick et«'d at the rental site and in front of Mrs Brown's house dur ing the last two days. He said the pickets are students, profes sors and common citizens, James Klonoski, chairman of the CORE in Eugene, said that the picketing will continue for the rest of the week. He also said that the pickets have been sub jected to a "form of subtle har rassment." Klonoski clarified this state ment by saying that some people were "driving their cars near the pickets. Some of our mem bers were actually brushed by the cars ” At that time the pick ets were marching in the street in front of the rental site lfendershott Queried Klonoski said he called Her man Hendershott, Eugene City Attorney, to find out if the pick ets could march on the grass in front of the house. Klonoski said the group was told they could march on the grass as long as they did not go closer to the house than 12 feet from the curb, DeBarry said. "As you can see the house is not a palace. We are protesting because of the princi ple, not just for this particular house.” Mary Ellickson, recently re turned from a stay in Mississippi, aiding Negro voter registration, praised the Oregon civil rights laws. Not Like Mississippi Miss Ellickson said, "If we did something like this (picketing) in Mississippi, we would be jailed immediately for disturbing the peace. However, the civil rights laws in Oregon still are not adequate enough to cover this situation.” She said she did not think the laws were adequate because a person could refuse to rent to a Negro and then decide to sell the house. "I hope something will be done soon about this in adequacy,” she said. INFIRMARY |U spmilit'w thr <1rn in tin* infirmary. Stts.m OI»«\, l.inrla Vahrcnwald, ('hervl Rosenbaum, Faramarri Rhodaycr.

This Life Emphasized Thus, they hold that this life is the only one about which to be concerned and would be more interested in dealing with a top ic such as racial discrimination than one like the Trinity. Since "man has the potential ity of solving his own problems,” humanists believe one “should voluntarily accept the responsi bility of working to perfect him self and the world in which he lives.” Believing that "there is no area of human conduct which should NSA... {Continued from pat/e I) such areas as the migrant labor projects, civil rights, international studies and the Peace Corps.

Humanism came in to being when the moral philos ophers of ancient Greece turned their attention from problems concerning the nature of reality to those concerning man Socrates in particular emphasized man as the center of interest. But the development of Chris tianity turned man’s attention from humanity to God and the hereafter. Philosophers in the middle ages viewed man as a miserable sinner, of little impor tance in this world. Traced to Renaissance In the 1400’s with the rediscov ery of classical, literature, think ers began to turn their attention once more to humanity. However, as the development of modern science turned man's interests toward the physical world around him, he devoted less attention to himself. The practical interests of hu man living which arose in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, turn ed the emphasis once more toward man and his problems. Dorm Residents Get Taste of Old West Burtaio meat is an unusual dish nowadays—but that’s what Uni versity dormitory students were served for dinner Wednesday night. Served to give University stu dents a taste of foods from other times and places, the roast buffalo was presented with some of the foods that might have been served with it a century ago. The International and Regional Roods Committee aranged the din ner, a? well at other similar din ners held in the past, according to committee chairman Charles Harris. “The dinner will give the stu dents an education in eating,” not just in the classrooms, said Harris. Harris, also head of the Bean dormitory cafeteria, said that the committee would try to have such dinners from other lands and other regions of our own country at least twice during each term. Presently, the committee is making plans to hold a French dinner. Atmosphere for this dinner from the old West, titled “Fron tier America," was created by the cafeteria employees wearing red bandanas and cowboy hats and by pictures of western scenes that were hung in the cafeteria. The 1,500 pounds of buffalo meat used Wednesday were pur chased from the Wichita Mount ain Wildlife Refuge at Cache. Oklahoma. Golden hominy, pickl ed beets with onion rings and stoneground whole wheat bread were among the dishes served with the buffalo.
