1 Gitten Ejucated Since on this campus, stepped I some four whole yea rs ago. To 'temp to learn the Kings' English, and ofcourse to make more doe, My eyes were widely woken to a countless number of things like student demonstrations those unlawful gatherings. llearned you're not suppose to talk about such things as 'rights', 'cause to a college 'ministration the only right is might. I learned that racial tensions are caused by a malcontented few, and anyone who disagrees is probly malcontented too. One profess helped me learn, poly si was the best subject yet, says he, the system just ain't right, its schemes you must detect. I learned that I shoud 'preciate those good down-home-cooked meals, cause what Saga'll put on ya could make a horse stand still. I learned that Tom Aquinas must really have dug on law cause no sane man otherwise would have wrote 'Sum logica'. But most of all, l've come to know a degree alone can't stand and we didn't get ejucated if we don't respect all men. And if with closed minds our diploma we obtain, we should start at the very beginning, andtry tobegin again. Mike Grant Ambrosicmz are always naaf. They seldom splash wafer: in Iac! they seldom use wafer. ff 'Iss 'i' ,J X J -..' X CP , ,f 'Y 1 X 1 -'fi I f X ii? Q- 1 1 f nu .' 'I ' E . Xl 1 f',' .

' AMERICA We're demanding of you -that which you yourself have not obtained, For the unliberated can not set us free, An umbilical cord to Mother England remains attached, As her blood of custom and social norm flows fluently in your uncultural veins We're talking about freedom -in mind - in body - in spirit. Yet the scenes explored from Bunker Hill and beyond. Continue to perpetuate your myth of independence. We're the object of your confounded, perplexed and arrogant stares. So you believe that we too would create a myth - yet myth our arch enemy - as a tool has bled us profusely Only the truth will deserve our allegiance. Will not seeds of truth and roots of reality give blossom to an America that is born to live? For this America, offspring of many nations, is destined to die - young. But despair not, for the real revolution is upon us, And its survivors will truly be free, And class and color will no longer stigmatize, And the poor will share affluence And the affluent will share poverty, And the birth of America will dawn with a new light- Whose radiance-like the sun will warm the entire earth. Mike Grant Speakers in the area included: TOP LEFT: Bill Russell spoke in Allert Hall.
