DICK LAWRENCE SU Board Chairman Bout ding Charges US. Bandit' in Viet Nam By BOB CARL Managing Editor “The United States is a bandit," ! charged Kenneth E. Boulding. professor of economics from the University of Michigan, in a speech Wednesday. Speaking at the Student Union Free Speech Platform in the tl'ird of a series of noon hour dis UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN economics professor Kenneth liouiding spoke from the Free Speech Platform Wednesday, dis cussing the United States’ foreign policy with regard to Viet Nam. Photo by Von Miller cushions about United States’ foreign policy. Boulding said that the U.S. people "fancy themselves as the great powe>-—as the police man of the world." He explained that although "we have power, we have no legitimacy,” and said that a "policeman without law is a ban dit.” “When I came to the U.S.A in 1932, I fell in love with her: now I'm an angry middle-aged nun because my love has walked out on me,” he said. Child Roasters Boulding explained that now "the rest of the world visualizes us as child roasters." He said he is not proud of our world image now, as he once was. “We have to reconceive our role as one among many power ful nations: we must abstain from trying to get our own way; we must abstain from meddling in what is really other people's business,” he continued He said that the Viet Nam situation is just a symbol of the profound change for the worse in the national image. Boulding continued by explain ing that there is a natural mor ality which "was the undoing of Hitler,” and asked: "What dif ference is there between putting Jews in the fire and putting fire (napalm bombs) on the Viet namese?” Morality and Decency He said that he is sure there is enough morality and decency in the folk culture of the U.S. o make us ashamed of our image in the world. Boulding said that we must change our image “even if it involves re linquishing our power.’’ If power conflicts with natural morality, power must give way, he said. “Our present source of for eign diplomacy has disaster built into it,” he said, “And the thing that worries me is that the I'S. might be declared morally bank rupt by the historians because we were unwilling to moderate our power with goodness.” He said we almost have a "monopoly on badness in the world.” ‘ Work of C.od” Boulding concluded by saying that when disaster finally comes, "we'll deserve it.” He asked. tongue-in-cheek, "When our cities are burning, Two University professors. Ray McKnight. assistant profes sor of English, and Harold Bar clay, assistant professor of an thropology, will continue the noon discussion series on U.S. foreign policy. They will speak from the Free Speech Platform at the Student Union. will you say this is a work of God. whatever you mean by that?" In a question-and answer period following his talk. Boulding said that "Red China is much less committed to conquering the world than we are.” and "the monolithic concept of Commu nism as a world force is a para noic concept of the John Birch Society. Boulding was one of the origin ators of the first all-night Viet Nam demonstration, which was held at the University of Michi gan, and he is on the governing body of the teach-in scheduled for Washington. DC., on this Saturday. Ray McKnight, assistant pro fessor of English at the Univer sity, announced before Boulding’s speech that there will be noon hour speeches for the rest of this week and most of next week. He said the future discussions will be focused on the broader is sues which underly the difficulty in Viet Nam. The new hoard members and the positions they represent are Solomon, liberal arts; Kaseburg and Mason, members • at - large; Connie Berg, music; Art Taylor, law; .Jim Lussier, graduate stu dents: and Steve Goldschmidt, Tom Clark and Linda Pellegrin, all representing the ASUO. Before the elections, board members heard a speech by Paul Moore, outgoing board chairman, in which he said he was "grati fied by the accomplishments we have made." But he added that he was "dissatisfied with things we haven't done." Moore’s speech covered a wide range ol topics. He said the Board should encourage each committee to be creative, adding that they should be given “some decision making power." He also said that one of the most im portant areas the new Board would have to consider would be "other cultural interests.” Moore also lamented that the budget committee, in approving the Board-passed budget recom mendation, had included once again the necessity of special attractions having to make a S3000 profit. This area, he said, would need evaluation by the Board if it is to obtain cultural programs which will appeal to a small minority . of students, and therefore be likely to lose money. It is the . Board’s objective to subsidize such programs with profits from more successful, general interest events. In final business, it was re • ported that the Water Ski Tour nament will be held May 23 near Pt. Richardson. Entry blanks for slalom and belly races may be obtained in room 301 of the SU. Exhibitions of water skiing, in i eluding kite skiing, are also planned for the afternoon. Computer Dance Forms to Be Sold Somewhere between the “get out” and "stay in” tables in the SU Friday or early next week, ; Ion Manning will be selling com puter dance questionnaires. The computer dance is the lat : est college fad, rising in such '•ompany as goldfish swallowing, phone booth stuffing, and free I speech demonstrations It began with the Ivy League and slowly moved west until Manning picked 1 it up, hoping to make it a per • manent event at the University. The questionnaires, which Man ning will sell for SI. will have about 40 questions on physical appearances, d a t e-stvle prefer ences, and political and religious : beliefs. After the questionnaires have been filled out, they will be processed by the IBM 1620 in Heady Hall. Several professors from the psychology and sociology depart ments will help sort out per sonality traits indicated on the questionnaires. The idea is to match up numerically compati ble people. Manning plans to hold the dance either May 28 or 29, limiting it to 500 computer matched couples.
