Attorneys To Appeal Ruling On Pope
faToneM SDS Interest Should Be Local
The chief defense attorney for con
demned slayer Duane Earl Pope says he
will appeal the latest ruling in the case
to the United States Supreme Court.
Robert B. Crosby said that the
grounds will "be basically the same" as
those presented to the United States Court
of Appeals in St. Louis which affirmed
Pope's conviction and sentence.
Crosby commented after visiting Pope
that "Duane was ekenly disapointed as
any young man would be who is under
going this terrible experience."
In their argument before the Eighth
Circuit Court of Appeals Crosby and Prof.
Wallace Rudolph contended Pope's con
stitutional privilege against self-incrimination
was violated at his Federal Dis
trict Court trial in Lincoln.
The Appeals Court opinion rejected
all arguments by the defense in Pope's
behalf.

However Judge Donald Lay in a con
curring opinion said: "I suggest without
reservation that this might be an appro
priate case for the consideration of cle
mency to the extent of reducing the
death sentence on the last three counts
to life imprisonment."
Pope, 24, was tried and convicted on
six counts in his Lincoln trial with the
jury decreeing the death penalty on
counts four, five and six.
Pope had pleaded innocent by reason
of insanity to bank robbery and murder
charges stemming from the Big Springs
holdup.

India began a week-1 o n g
election Wednesday which
was expected to return
Prime Minister Indira Gan
dhi's Congress Party to
power.
But its overwhelming 234
seat majority in the lower
house of Parliament may be
reduced by discontent with
skyrocketing food prices and
inflation and by political de
fections. Nearly 251 million Indians,
75 per cent of them illiterate,
Were eligible to choose 520
members of Parliament and
3,560 state legislators for five
year terms. The election lasts
a week because there are not
enough police and election

Individual chapters
of Students for a Democrat
ic Society (SDS) should con
centrate on local issues, ac
cording to Thane Croston,
former editor of "New Left
Notes."
Croston, who was ap
pointed editor of the na
tional SDS newspaper pub
lished in Chicago, recently
resigned his position and
will be residing in Lincoln
until fall.
"I learned a lot about
American society, the pow
er elite of military, big busi
ness and politics, while I
was editor, but at this point
I feel I can learn more by
being elsewhere than the
national office," Croston
stated.
While editor, Croston he
came intimately connected
with the New Left move
ment, on a national scale.
"I don't like the term
New Left. I prefer New
Radicals, which is primari
ly composed of SDS and the
Student Non-violent Coordi
nating Committee (SNCC),"
he explained.
SDS started with a mem
bership of intellectuals at
various colleges across the
country, said Croston.
The movement then
branched out in its efforts
because of the inter-related
nature of society, Croston

CIA Subsidized Four Student Groups
The Central Intelligence Agency
(CIA), under fire for subsidizing the na
tion s largest college student organia
tion was reported Wednesday to have also
been slipping cash to three other youth
groups two of them foreign based.
The Washington Evening Star said
that besides the National Student Assn.,
the CIA had been channeling funds
through private foundations to the U.S.
Youth Council, the World Assembly of
Youth in Belgium and the International
Student Conference based in the Nether
lands. A congressional investigation was an
nounced Wednesday by Rep. Carl Per
kins of earlier disclosure that the CIA
had pumped millions of dollars over a
15-year period Into the NSA.
"Despite large contributions from
the CIA, youth and student leaders from
this country who have served in execu
tive positions in all the groups do not
believe their independence of action was
affected to any great degree by the cov
ert government support," the Star said.
Officers of the NSA said most mem
bers and officers of student governments
on 350 campuses in the country had no
previous knowledge of the CIA funding.
The clandestine CIA influence on
youth groups was condemned by several
members of Congress and brought re
newed demands for a broader congres
sional power to oversee CIA operations.

Truce Ends, Vietnam War Resumes
War resumed in South Vietnam at the
end of a four day lunar New Year truce
marked by 168 American casualties.
Ground operations were launched and
war planes pounded targets in South Viet
nam,, A United States spokesman said "full
military activity" was resumed and with
in minutes the sound of artillery could
be heard in Saigon.
Just after the cease-fire ended, B-52
bombers hit a suspected enemy head
quarters near Bong Son.
As the truce reached its end some
United States strategists anticipated that
the renewal of the Allied military offen
sive may improve the outlook for peace
talks.
The resumption of the bombings In
the opinion of some strategists will con
vince Hanoi's leadership hat the United
States means business when it says it
wants a reciprocal cutback in the North's
military activities.
The current United States diplomatic
probes therefore are directed in particu
lar at finding out what price Hanoi is
willing to pay once it understands it can
not halt the air raids by propaganda.
Prime Minister Harold Wilson of Bri
tain said that peace in Vietnam "was al
most within our grasp" last weekend.
"One single, simple act of trust could
have achieved it," he said. He added that
neither the renewed United States bomb
ing of North Vietnam nor the "murder
in the south" has ended the possibilities
of peace.
Wilson indicated that he and Premier
Alexei Kosygin of the Soviet Union had
been deeply involved in the arrangements
that he believed came close to achieving
talks and a truce of some kind.

Students most likely to be
active in protest come from
permissive and affluent
families, according to a re
cent study by a University
of Chicago sociologist.
In a study of "the roots
of student protest" describ
ed by the Collegiate Press
Association, Richard Flacks
writes, "It seems plausible
that this is the first genera
tion in which a substantial
number of youth have both
the impulse to free them
selves from conventional
status concerns and can af
ford to do so."
Fo lowing discussions
with students and parents,
concerning their family
backgrounds, political be
liefs and values, Flacks
formed a hypothesis about
protest participants.
They find student life
highly "rationalized," and
are concerned with the im
personal and competitive
environment.
They have been reared
in permissive, democratic
families which value stand
ards other than achieve
ments and high status.
These values make it
harder for students to sub
mit to adult authority, re
spect status distinctions and
accept the prevailing sys
tem. They feel less need to
accept conformity to "get
ahead" and they can afford
to be non-conformists, be
cause "affluence has freed
them from some of the anx
ieties and preoccupations
which have been the de
fining features of Americ
can middle-class social
character."
The university environ
ment they live in has chang
ed from an atmosphere of
"cool" non-coinmitant to
concern with direct action.
This change has occured
as a result of events such
as the Southern sit-ins and
the demonstrations at House
Un-American Activities
Committee hearings.
In one part of his study,
Flacks interviewed 65 stu
dents who had participated
in a sit-in at the University
of Chicago's administration
building and 35 students
who had participated in a
sit-in, as well as a "con
trol" sampling of students.
From this study, Flacks
concludes that student ac
tivists differ greatly from
non-activists in terms of
values and attitudes. He at
tributes the uniformity
among activist groups to
the influences of a sub-culture
reflecting shared per
spectives. Activists' parents al
so "deviate from 'conven
tional middle-class' values
and attitudes," he says.
Activists are not ideo
louges they do not trans
fer their militance or com
mitment to certain issues to
an "overarching position,"
he writes.
Flacks cites four traits of
"typical" activists:
They are high in "ro
manticism" "explicity
concerned with feeling and
passion, immedate and in
ner experience."
They are also high In
"intellectualism" con
cern with ideas.
Activists are high in "hu
manitarianism"; they are
"concerned with the plight
of others."
They are low, however,
in "moralism and self-con-
trol," which Flacks defines
as "value on keeping tight
control over emotions, ad
herence to conventional au
thority and morality, reli

said. Now, SDS is national
ly involved in such things
as civil rights and the Viet
Nam war.
"However, for the last
nine months, the push has
really been back to the
campus to affect the great
American desert of subur
bia," Croston explained.
The renewed Interest In
university reform programs
is aimed at radicalizing the
future businessmen, mili
tary and political leaders
that come from the univer
sities of the country.
"SDS believes that the in
fusion of radicalized peo
ple into society will some
how bring about the great
social change that the mem
bers are looking for," he
said.
When asked what form
this social change would
take, Croston replied that
SDS has no single ideology
no specific goals, but cer
tain general values that
most members adhere to.
These values were par
tially stated by Nick Egel
son, national president, in
the Jan. 13 issue of "New
Left Notes," Croston added.
The values listed by Egel
son include: equal power or
equal control of power, rel
atively equal distribution of
goods and services, equal
protection by and from
laws, equal participation in
government.
Personal values include:
self-determination, honesty,
and the ability to provide
for the needs of oneself and
one's fellows (as opposed to
the ability to produce or ac
quire material goods).
"Being a radical Isn't
wearing buttons, but It's a
way of life," Croston stated.
"I don't think SDS is any
panacea, but it's the most
realistic group at this
point," Croston continued.
Along with university re
form, SDS chapters should
be organizing around local
issues because these issues
have more interest for the
community, he added.
New Left Position Changed Since
Start At University Of California
By Mick Lowe
Junior Staff Writer
The New Left, if a date
is necessary, began in 1960.
In that year University of
California students marched
from the Bay Area in an
unsuccessful attempt to
save the life of Caryl Chess
man, In 1960 the Student Non
Violent Coordinating Com
mittee (SNCC) was orga
nized in Raleigh, North Car
olina. For the first time
American college students
were becoming aware of the
problems which existed out
side their campuses.
In 1960 the Students for
a Democratic Society (SDS)
was in its early stages, and
the raw materials which
were to cause student ex
plosions against poverty,
racism and American for
eign policy were being as
sembled. SNCC opened the way for
he New Left. In the early
sixties college students cap
tured the attention of the
nation for their civil rights
sit-ins and marches in the
south, and the nation re
acted with approbation.
But in 1964 students took
actions far more contro
versial at Berkeley in the
form of the Free Speech
Movement. FSM desired to
overthrow the dictum that
students should be seen and
not heard and they were
highly successful.
The nation was not sure
how to react to FSM and
its volatile leaders. Time
magazine's accounts of ac
tion at Berkeley were at
times tinged with respect
for Berkeley's "Little Na
poleon," Mario Savio.
At present the Students
for a Democratic Society is
at the vanguard of the New
Left, both at Nebraska and
in the national scope.
SNCC has declined partly
because many of their ob
jectives have been realized,
and partly because of the
statement by former-SNCC
president Stokely Carmichacl
that the student movement
should be an all-Negro un
dertaking. Members of SDS are firm
ly convinced that wrongs
exist in the United States
which cannot be overlooked.
America's poverty, racial
discrimination, and Ameri
ca's foreign policy are re
garded as roadblocks to a
truly "democratic society."
At the same time, mem
bers of SDS are firmly con
vinced the only solution to
these roadblocks is radical
ism, in the form of a revo
lution against the present
liberal leaders.
The most recent develop
ment within SDS is what
most members term "the
pot left." Pot, slang for
marijuana, and other psy
chedeiics are changing the
approach ot some mem
bers of the New Left, ac
cording to SDS vice presi
dent Dennis Bartels.
Because of psychedelic
experiences, many advo
cates of the New Left are
dropping political activities
and advocating "Brotherly
love."
Critics of "the pot left"
point out that unless politi
cal actions for liberalization
of the United State's drug
laws are continued, the fed
eral government may well
liquidate the source of the
pot left's inspiration.
Campuses at Berkeley,
Chicago, Wisconsin, and in
the East are the centers of
New Left activity. It . is
from these campuses that
much of the membership,
and leadership, of the New
Left is drawn.
