Kids on the Block fans.
These people claim to be
fighting for human rights. Tim
Hughes calls for a restrictive
speech code while whining
about his own inalienable, spe
cial interest rights.
Lesbian groups attempt to
ban “objectionable" material
from local bookstores. Students
are coerced by their more polit
ically astute professors to adopt
a standardize set of "sensitive'’
vocabulary as one of many in
doctrinating measures.
These stifling campus au
thoritarians assume the pre
tense of liberalism, but certain
ly their actions suggest totali
tarianism in nature.

History/English
We were good
1 had the pleasure recently of
speaking to a class at the Uni
versity on the Spanish Civil
War and the Emerald carried an
article about me in the Dec. 3
issue.
It was a fine and well written
article but I think I got the
wrong message across to the
writer at one point 1 believe
she did an excellent job of re
porting and the fault is mine.
The sentence that bothers me
is in the first column. “. he
can now see that neither side
was absolutely good or evil." 1
readily admit that the Republi
can army (my side) had its
flaws — and what army doesn't
— but there was a world of dif
ference between the two sides.
The Republic was a demo
cratically elected government
fighting for its life. The rebel
lion and civil war to destroy
that democracy was supported
by Hitler and Mussolini No
doubt there were atrocities
committed on the Republic side
— I never witnessed any — but
they were few and opposed by
the government and army,
whereas on the Franco side. Re
publican sympathizers were
rounded up and slaughtered as
a matter of government policy
Thousands wens executed or
died in Franco prisons after the
war ended. The Republic de
pended on the support of the
people, Franco won by superior
arms and terror.
Yes, there was a big differ
ence in the two sides. The
Spanish Civil War has been
called by historians the begin
ning of World War II. Our side
lost; had it won. the millions of
doaths that occurred later
might possibly have been pre
vented.
I was also in the larger con
flict of World War II. the lust
one our country has been in
volved in that I felt I could sup
port with a clear conscious.
Even there, our government
and army had some polit ies
that we now regret, the army
was segregated. Japanese citi
zens were thrown into concen
tration camps. more could have
been done to save Jewish peo
ple in Europe from death
camps.
You couldn't consider those
flaws the equal of the gas
chambers of Hitler. We were
the "good." not the "evil.’
