ick Gregory who bills himself as a soldier in a war against hate and bigotry appeared on the Arizona Western cam pus Feb 23rd as the headllner for this year s Concert 8: Lecture Series The Civil Rights and black power advocate and some times comedian spoke to a standing room only crowd in the Little Theatre for more than two hours With an almost evangelical delivery reminiscent of the late Dr Martin Luther King Gregory decrled the fear that he feels is destroymg America. His unspoken message that night was that people are afraid of what they don't understand, and not understanding is a sickness that is weakening America Brmg moral honesty back to the system, he asked of his young audience who interrupted him more than a dozen times with applause. You must make sacrifices for America to bring moral honesty, he said Any country that says 'Let the buyer beware' instead of 'Let the seller be honest,' there's gotta be something wrong. ' Throughout his lecture, the 39-year-old Gregory, who has been on a much publicized fast since April 24, 1971, voiced his opposition to violence, alcohol, drugs, underpaying law enforcement officers, hatred and corruption. Hatred is a sickness and understanding yourself and others is a medicine, he said. . Gregory showed forth with bursts of energy uncommon of a person who has lost more than 189 pounds in a fast that will continue until the Vietnam war is ended. Fruit juices have been his only nutrition. A daily jog of 20 miles is his only formal exercise and' weekly medical checkups have allowed him to continue his speaking engagements at colleges and universities. Gregory, physically and mentally exhausted at the end of his speech, met with El Matador editor4in-chief Michael Star- rett, associate editor David Schuman, staff member Audrey Barrett and college staff photographer Paul Miller in an exclusive interview. During t-he interview, the tired Gregory drank three glasses of orange juice filled with crushed ice. The underlying tone of his speech and interview emerged as a message of freedom and equality-for the entire human race, and that today's youth must be the ones to bring America back to morally stable and sound ground because - - A ' f' A Y 'ss ' - V ' -' A' ' . ,, . 1 9 , , 9 ' .
