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.

da, president of the group, ac
cept several basic ideas.
That mankind has only itself
to rely upon and can solve its
own problems without the aid
of a supernatural being is an es
sential belief of humanists.
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

be sacred from critical analy
sis,” humanists hold that one of
their objectives is ‘‘to question.”
Purpose Explained
Fonda explained that the pur
pose of the group is “to provide
a forum for students and distin
guished speakers to present their
ideas on all phases of contempor
ary life with special emphasis up
on ethics and morality.”
Kathryn Whyte, instructor in
education, serves as advisor to the
group
Historically, according to Lou
is KattsofF in the World Book
Encyclopedia. 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.
