Black Power No White Gift'

"Regardless of color, all peo
ple need power,” said Clyde De
Berry, western regional direr
tor of the Congress of Racial
Equality and director of the
School Desegregation Training
Research Institute at the Uni
versity at a panel discussion
on hlack power Tuesday,
Speaking with DeBerry were
Brent Bozclle, co-author with
Barry Goldwater in writing
•'Conscience of a Conservative,"
Ben Stewart of the San Fran
cisco State College Black Stu
died Union, and Jay I’arker,
member of the national hoard
of directors of the Young
Americans for Freedom (YAF).
Black power is the ability of
the black people to organize and
stick together and reinstate cer
tain things which they need to
survive, continued DeBerry. In
other words, it is "how us Nig
gers should exist in this so
ciety," he said.
"White people have been mak
inn all the decision*, ho said,
while “black people have never
had the chance to make these
decisions. There is no choice
whatsoever for the black peo
ple,” he added.
In talking about power in
(general, DeBerry further said,
"Power is not a thing that is
given. It is a precious com
modity, and we take it. '
"I don’t think any white man
in his right mind is going to
give us power, so eventually,
we’ll have to take it,” he con
tinued. “We’re struggling for
liberation, a n d hopefully we
can say in the future that we
can get black and white people
closed together.”
In answering DeBerry, Bo
zelle said lhat the black man’s,
particularly DeBerry’s, impres
sion of black power was the kind
which presupposes some kind
of separatism.
“If DeBerry went to Brazil
today and told them about black
power, he would be thrown out

“God bridges races"
but by the black Portuguese
themselves,” said Bozelle.
"The black man looks at so
ciety with scorn. His scorn is
a fraud, as a white man senses
fraud,” Bozelle went on.
He went on to say that what
happens when whites and blacks
go together is that one decides
to go its own way, establishing
their own norms.
Apparently staunch in his
religions views, Bozelle empha
sized the “proper obeyance of
man to God” in order to build
understanding between the two
races.
In defense of DeBerry's argu
ments, Stewart said the impor
tant thing is that black people
have to begin to understand
their experiences in their per
spectives.
“Ever since black people
went to school, their schooling
has been programmed to white
experiences,” he claimed. In
stead, the San Franciscan sug
gested that schools for Negroes
should be programmed to black
experiences.
“You can't see what Shakes
peare’s talking about. But you
can dig James Brown, because
he knows the black spirit,” he
said, addressing his statement
to his fellow “Black brothers.”
Summing up his feelings,
Stewart said, “We don’t have a
lot of time to sit and discuss.
We have ideas, but as long as
they don’t become realities,
they’re not good."
"We're going to have to get
together, brothers and sisters,”
he continued, “and the college
is the keyed place.”
Appointing Thurgood Marsh
all to the Supreme Court is not
enough, he stressed. He said
there were the masses to think
of.
Parker on the other hand, sug
gested an alternative to the
black power reasoning of De
Berry and Stewart. Quoting
'Assaulted' Dean Refuses
Plea to Counter-Charge
Philip Beal, Associate Dean of
Students, refused to plead to
an assault complaint tiled
against him by a student and
Lane County District Judge
Frank Alderson, entered a plea
of innocence on his behalf.
Howard Anderson, University
sophomore in political science,
filed the complaint claiming that
Beal shoved him in a dispute
involving the handing over of
some notes from a Student
Court proceeding.
Charles Porter, Eugene attor
ney and Anderson’s lawyer, has
been appointed as special pros
ecutor because District Attor
ney John Leahy has refused to
handle Anderson's case against
Beal, saying it has no basis.
According to a Register-Guard
story, “The court denied a mo
tion Tuesday by Robert Frazer
of Eugene, Beal's attorney, to
set aside Porter's appointment."
A conflict of interest was
claimed because Porter is al
ready defending Anderson
against an earlier complaint by
Former UO Student
Suspected Hijacker
A former University student
was reported Tuesday to have
been the hijacker of a small
plane.
A Havana radio broadcast
said Thomas Boynton was in
Cuba and has requested politi
cal asylum there. He is believ
ed to be the Thomas Boynton of
Kalamazoo. Mich.
According to the Register -
Guard, he was a Ph.D. candi
date in sociology in the fall
of 1964. However, he left after
that quarter, apparently due to
some disagreement with Uni
versity faculty members.
Reports indicated that a
Thomas Boynton boarded a twin
engine plane from Marathon
in the Florida Keys Saturday.
The same reports also said he
apparently forced the pilot of
the plane to fly him to Ha
vana. Donald Doran, the pilot,
returned to the U.S. Tuesday
but he was unable to talk to
newsmen.
Boynton is believed to be the
son of a Western Michigan
University professor. He was
also said to have gone to Florida
last week looking for a job.
Boynton had been teaching
at the Custer Job Corps Center
in Kalamazoo until the center
closed recently.
Beal that Anderson hit him in
the mouth during the same dis
pute.
Porter indicated Tuesday that
he would try to obtain a court
order forcing Leahy to prose
cute Beal regardless.
Beal has 15 days to decide
whether or not he wants a jury
trial.

Stokely Carmicheal, Parker
maintained that the words
“black power” have been made
irrelevant and have been used
in miscontext.
“This has proven to be a
stumbling block of the progres
sive Negroes,” said the Negro
YAF director. He suggests, as
an alternative, the fall of a
capitalistic state in the country.
“My contention is that a
properly American business will
attract any black or white who
is looking for quality in an
item,” he concluded.
