The <lry zone should be lifted, and the University should stop pre tending that such measures are really effective or appropriate. The Senate has decided that it wants the campus as a whole to publicly debate and ponder the Viet Nam situation. If our students responsibly voiced their opinions, perhaps a reaction would begin and the American people as a whole would wake up, and President Johnson would have to cease giving us simple black and white explanations that we arc in Asia to save democracy against com munist aggression. It just isn't that simple, and the administration should be have as if the American people are mature enough to know the real reasons why we are there. All that I am asking as an elected representative -of yours is that we all become more aware of the forces which gov ern our lives. The University and world situation should not be accepted at just face value. There are changes which must he made, but as long as students remain more interested in watching basketball games than in improving the quality of the education we are offered, we shall remain in slavery to the people who do care, and who are making the decisions for us. I will not try to list all the ways in which you can express your concern, for it is about time that the students started thinking about possible solu tions. I shall suggest, however, that an active student body and Sen ate could build such a fire under the administration of this Uni versity that we could make every change we wanted. VISTA Recruiting Movie Previewed "The Hard Way,” to be shown at 8:30 today in the Student Un ion by VISTA recruiters, is an ugly movie. It is full of the crum my sights and .sounds that arc the world of America's new poor. The new poor, as the movie stresses, are not much different than the hopeful immigrant kids of a generation ago. Eat from starches, apathetic in public housing that looks like ce ment cupboards, the new poor are hopeless losers always just outside the mainstream of Ameri can life. The entire film presents a mood of “quiet desperation” aided by slow jazz background music. There are some moments of sharp poignancy in the movie, such as a teenage boy fighting back tears as he struggles with a first grade reader; a slum young ster trying to understand such concepts as “sail boat,” “brief case," and “brunch.” The movie’s message is simply that it is wrong to impose middle class values like “brunch" on the poor. VISTA Week... <Continued from fiar/e 1) unique set of standards upon which we must build.” Family loyalty was cited as one of the 1 good mores of the poor. In this, area the middle class could learn from them. VISTAs try to give the poor the incentive to work within their own environment "We want to encourage diversity not preach the sermon of 'Ticky Tacky’.” “No training would really be 1 good enough,” said Koch. "VIS TAs are constantly confronted by ' situations they never dreamed of —some real horror stories. Al though muscle and initiative help, versatility is what really counts. VISTAs are now working in such diverse places as Florida, with refugees, and north of Nome with Eskimos. "If we can just . make some formerly unaware people realize that equality of opportunity does not exist in America, VISTA Week will be a success," Koch declared. Hoyt Talk... (Continued from faqe 1) "If wc tolerate graft and cor ruption in our backyard, we are responsible for it in Washington, D C. We must first denounce it at home if we expect to effectively denounce it there,” said Hoyt about the social and moral re sponsibilities of a newspaper. Hoyt compared a paper to a mirror. “A realistic and effective newspaper is like a mirror. It should reflect the public life in a broad sense.” But the reflection must be accurate, he continued. "A distorted newspaper is no more useful than a distorted mir ror.” “A man who wants a challenge and has drive and ambition" is the way Hoyt described the kind of reporter he likes to get on the Dost. They must want to do some thing worthwhile and take pride in it, he continued. “Motivation is important. School performance alone is not a significant factor.” As the Eric Allen Memorial Lecturer, Hoyt reminisced about the journalist. “He taught us to be true to ourselves.” Allen was a friendly, out going man, with “faith in newspapers and a desire to improved them,” he continued. “He kindled in us that spirit of duty and fulfillment which is part of being a newspaper man,” Hoyt concluded.
