Anti-Semitic information distributed on campus
Pamphlets ignorantly, cowardly promote racism, sexism
by Daphne Hartt
Staff Writer
A few weeks ago, CCC
Public Safety came upon an in
teresting pamphlet that was being
distributed among CCC students.
This pamphlet,"Who Rules
America?," is an Anti-Semitic
news release which focuses on
Jewish immigrants who are
involved in mass media.
According to Public Safety
Supervisor Jim Wiseman, there
are no known suspects. Also,
the circulation of this pamphlet
is not illegal. The National Alli
ance (N.A.) of West Virginia is
the white supremacist group who
organized and fabricated it The
fact is this group has the right to
write and distribute this type of
material. Unfortunately, the
American Constitution gives
groups like the National Alli
ance, theKlu KluxKlan(KKK),
and the White Aryan Resistance
(WAR) the right to exercise their
freedom of speech. However,
this is the same amendment that
gives me the right to express my
opinion.
In the area of television,
the pamphlet emphasizes the rid
iculousness of “Jews control
ling the media and persuading a
whole generation.”
In one particular paragraph,
entitled “Molding American
Minds”, the N.A states that under
Jewish media control people are
led to believe that, ”a racially
mixed couple will be liked, and
socially sought after by other
characters, as well a “take
charge” Black scholar or busi
nessman, a sensitive and tal
ented homosexual, or a poor but
honest and hardworking illegal
alien from Mexico.”
Basically, this organization is
angry at the fact that most Ameri
cans like diversity and are trying
to put an end to racism and sex
ism.
The N.A. goes on to say, ”A
White racist, that is, any racially
conscious White person who looks
askance at miscegenation or at the
rapidly darkening situation in
America, is portrayed, at best, as a
despicable bigot who is reviled by
other characters, or, at worst, as a
dangerous psychopath who is fas
cinated by firearms and is a men
ace to all law-abiding citizens. The
White racist ’gun nut,* in fact, has
become a familiar stereotype on
TV shows.”
The N.A. also expresses con
cern about our country’s best
newspapers such as the Wall Street
Journal, the New York Times,
and the Washington Post. They
claim that since these media
companies are owned and run by
Jews, our country is missing out
on the real news of the world. The
articles state, ” They (Jewish de
scendants) are the ones who de
cide what is news and what isn’t,
at the national and international
levels. They originate the
news;others merely copy it. And
all three are in Jewish hands.”
So what exactly is the news
that N.A., WAR, the KKK and
other racist groups want to hear?
The previously mentioned news
papers have been the most prestig
ious in tile country for several years.
If Americans thought these Jew-
ish-run newspapers were not
newsworthy and entertaining they
obviously would not spend their
money to purchase the material.
So if White supremacists feel that
the media is unsatisfactory, why
is it that the Wall Street Journal
sells 2.1 million copies each week
day? And why are magazines such
as Vogue, Gentleman’s Quar
terly (GQ), the New Yorker and
House and Garden are some of
the best selling on the market?
These are all owned by Jews.
Another excerpt from the
pamphlet displays the ignorance
involved in this whole issue. "The
Jew-controlled entertainment
media have taken the lead in
persuading a whole generation
that homosexuality is a normal
and acceptable way of life; that
there is nothing at all wrong with
White women dating or marry
ing Black men, or with White
men marrying Asiatic women;
that all races are inherently equal
in ability and character, except
that the character of the White
race is suspect because of a his
tory of oppressing other races;
and that any effort by Whites at
racial self-preservation is repre
hensible,” states the N.A..
First of all, if you traced
everyone’s bloodline all the way
back to their great ancestors, there
is hardly a chance that every rela
tive was purely White Anglo-
Saxon. We all came from the
same place atone time in history.
How did so many races evolve?
Did they just pop onto this earth
one day long ago? I don’t think
so. '
In order to have the variety
of cultures that we have today,
somewhere along the line differ
ent races interacted. Second of
all, what is the rationalization of
wanting to eliminate a particular
race just because they have dif
ferent characteristics such as skin
Letter to the Editor
Reader angered by flaw in CCC graduation system
To the Editor:
I am writing in regards to a
system that I have been trying to
refute since I recieved my grade
report from Winter Term.
I am graduating this turn
and now enthusiastically pre
pare to begin further studies at
PSU. Graduation ceremonies are
this GPA accumulated as of the
term proceeding that in which they
will graduate. So, we who are gradu
ating this Spring Term must have
accumulated this average by the
end of Winter Term.
Excuse me!
I think that since it took me
through Spring Term to earn the

an important part of a college
student’s accomplishments. The
ceremonies offer a unique op
portunity for those who are gradu
ating to celebrate their achieve
ments. However, there is a flaw
in the system at CCC.
For graduates, to be recog
nized as honor students, those
who have a cumulative grade
point average of 3.5 earn the
privilege of wearing gold honor
cords through the ceremonies.
So far so good.
The problem lies in the fact
that those students must have
correct number of credits to fulfill
my transfer degree, therefore, these
grades must also be included in
the calculations of my GPA. If I
had accumulated the correct
number of credits to graduate
Winter Term, then it would make
sense to use Winter Term’s GPA.
The way it stands now, I, as well as
many other deserving students, will
not be entitled to the much de
served privilege of wearing an honor
cord during graduation to show
my academic performance through
out my college career.
I understand the cumbersome
job that must be done by the
administration to determine each
of those students who should be
entitled to wear cords at the last
moment. However, may I also
take into consideration those
students who foul up during Spring
Term knowing that, no matter
what, they will still be able to
wear cords so long as they made
the average after Winter term.
These students will not be de
serving of honor cords, yet they
will be allowed to show false
achievement
If it is necessary, grades for
graduating students can be or
dered in earlier th an those of other
attending students. This will al
low more time for the admini
stration to deterimine who cor
rectly deserves the privilege of
hanging honor cords around then-
shoulders during the graduation
ceremonies. If the problem is not
rectified by June 12, and if I have
earned an accumulative GPA of
3.5 with this term’s grades, I will
wear my honor cords from high
school through this year’s cere
monies because I will have earned
the privilege to do so.
Sincerely,

color, facial features and lan
guages? Without cultural diver
sity, our country would not be as
successful as it is today.
The N.A. seems to want one
people, one belief, one
religion...one everything. In the
paragraph entitled, “Our Re
sponsibility,” they go on to say,
"Once we have absorbed and
understood the fact of Jewish
media control, it is our inescap
able responsibility to do what
ever is necessary to break the
control. We must shrink from
nothing in combatting this evil
power which has fastened its
deadly grip on our people and is
injecting its lethal poison into
their minds and souls.”
Whoever is placing the pam
phlets on tables around the school
and sticking them on the wind
shields of students’ cars is cow
ardly expressing their beliefs by
trying to get students to change
their views. I am not saying that
CCC does not have racists, be
cause I would be lying or pretend
ing the problem does not exist.
However, if the person or persons
that have been distributing the
material had any courage, they
would organize some kind of rally
to stand up for their rights. In
stead, the distributors try to force
their beliefs on others and then
walk around campus inconspicu
ously.
