"The liberals of today are
the true reactionaries who
sneer at patriotism, mock the
Constitution and condemn the
national aim of sound govern
ment," said Senator Barry
Goldwater at an All-University
convocation Friday morn
ing. The United States Senator
from Arizona received a
standing ovation from, approx
imately 6,000 students upon
entering the stage.
"I think that the discussion
of liberalism and conserva
tism ?s mainly a problem of
semantics," he said.
"A true liberal is one who
craves liberty and believes In
limited government and the
maximum rights of individ
uals. But the liberals of to

When asked whether he

it contained elements of both.
In answer to another ques

pause, remove his glasses,

blinding glare of the flood

"We've got to win in '62 if
we don't, we'll have to go
hunting for someone to nomi
nate."
"I know California politics,"
said the A r i z o n a n. "To
the people of California, the
governorship is more impor
tant than the president of the
United States."
Win Control
Goldwater predicted the
GOP's will win control of the
House of Representatives this
year, and gain from one to
eight Senate seats.
He criticized the Kennedy
administration for "a com
plete lack of responsibility,
particularly to our economic
system," and said it is bad
for the President to rely so
heavily on theorists and aca
demic advisers.
While condemning the Pres
ident's "pantywaist approach
to our problems," Goldwater
noted that the present admin
istration is showing indica
tions of stronger policies such
as in South Viet Nam.
AT DINNER
Later in the evening at the
$50 per plate dinner in honor
of Goldwater, he spoke to an
overflow crowd of more than
700 exurberant Republicans.
-Goldwater took the oppor
tunity to warn the state Re
publicans that the party
could not afford the luxury of
inter-party fights.

he said, "that in a Republi

In his plea to work hard
for Republican candidates,
Goldwater said that in his
home state of Arizona the
party held an open meeting
to which all factions of the
party attended and battled for
three days trying to write a
statement of Republican pol
icy for the state. The results
were an eight point statement
and a Republican state
party, which he termed as
solid as a fist.
Bitter Campaign
In a suggestion which was
pointly aimed at the bitter

campaign between Reps. Phil

way to end it."

Discuss Goldwater
By TOM KOTOUC
"I don't believe the United States could
take a chance on Goldw? ter as President with
his conservative views as they are. It might
take him too long to alter his views and accept
the facts of life," said Raphael Zariski, assist
ant professor of political science.
"If Goldwater runs for the Presidency in
1964, however, I believe he will have to drop
some of his ideological baggage," said Zariski.
"Although I expected Gold-
water to be out and out re
actionary, I was pleased to
see his moderate, views in
some areas of domestic pol
icy. "However, this small area
of agreement with bis views
. . . does not mean that I
support Goldwater for the
Presidency in 1964," Zariski
added.
19th Century
"Goldwater speaks in the
spirit of the 19th Century
liberal with the laissez faire
thinking of the U.S. Supreme
Court when it upheld the in
terests of b u s i n e s s." he
continued.
"His conservatism is quite
sincere, but he strays from
his laissez faire policies when
he confronts concrete issues
on which he has had little
experience, said .arisiti in
answer to a question of ooid
water's sincerity toward con
servatism. "At the luncheon, for ex
ample," said Zariski, "Gold-
water said that he does not
favor repealing the social
security program, but that he
does favor making it volun
tary and then extending it.
"(By this statement) he
shows himself to be much
more moderate on domestic
issues than I thought he would
be," stated Zariski.
Doctrinaire Attachment
"When Goldwater talks
about the modern liberal as
accepting socialism, I dis
agree. Actuauy loaay s iid
eral has no doctrinaire at
tachment to socialism for
the sake of socialism, even
though he may support a wel
fare state," he said.
"The real danger to our
nation "is in the individual
who is unwilling to accept
changes at the possibility of
destroying our existing social
institutions," Zariski said. .
Winter's Views
"I believe Goldwater is a
very fine politician," said Dr.
Arthur Winter, associate pro

the New Frontier, the nation
won't live through four years
of the kind of economic stu
pidity being imposed by the
"traveling circus," warned
the Senator.
Continous Attack
In a continuous attack on
the Kennedy administration
he termed the New Frontier
"anti-business," charged that
it has suggested "stupid
legislation," and insisted that
it has evidenced "an almost
utter disregard for the Con
stitution and no respect for
free enterprise."
"Irresponsibility is the hall
mark for this traveling cir
cus," he said. "Irresponsibil
ity to the people and to their
own promises.
"It's a simple question to
ask," he continued. "Are we
going to remain free or be
come slaves to an all power
ful controlling government
heading towards socialism?"
On hand for the dinner
were Sens. Carl Curtis and
Roman Hruska, gubernatorial
candidate Fred S e a t o n and
top state and local party of
ficials. fessor of political science.
"And I mean that as a com
pliment." "However, I disagree vio
lently with Goldwater's state
ment that 'The liberal is set
ting the rich against the poor,
the Jew against the Gentile,
the Protestant against the
Catholic, the laborer against
the manager,' " said Winter.
"He generalized here be
yond reason that the Ku KIux
Klan and John Birch Society
are actively engaged along
these lines," he said.
"I object to his use of the
word 'socialism', which he did
not use precisely. Its use
should be avoided as much
as possible since 'socialism'
is a propoganda word," Win
ter added.
Not Consistent
"I don't believe Goldwater
is consistent in his views on
public power," said Winter.
"He believes that the U.S.
post office and all services
provided by government
should only be provided if
public demand for them ex
ists. "Apparently Goldwater is
simply opposed to federal
public power," added Winter.
"Goldwater defined a clas
sical liberal; but the people
he blasted simply do not ex
ist. President Kennedy cer
tainly is not planning to take
away our liberties as such.
He built straw men," said
Winter.
Own Tax Form
"Goldwater believes that
every American should fill
out his own income tax form
so that he can see how much
he is contributing to his gov
ernment. "If people were honest, I
would agree with his thought.
But we would lose millions
of dollars practically if w
would go back to this admin
istrative procedure.
"We need policing today
since people are not honest,"
concluded Winter.
