SOS:
After the "long hot sum
mer" of civil rights disturb
ances in 1964, members of
the New Left returned to
college campuses and con
tinued the movement in a
different tenor.
Student demonstra
tions erupted on campus af
ter campus across the
United States. Student mili
tancy, oftentimes lead by
the New Left, became a
factor on almost every cam
pus in the country.
Frequently the attacks
were aimed at University
administrators, who were
accused of limiting free
speech and the rights of
students.
MULTIVERSITY
Some analysts theorize
that the student movements
were aimed at the imper
sonality of the multiversity,
with research facilities that
never enter a classroom,
and freshmen who never get
within a hundred feet of a
professor.
The prototype for student
demonstrations took place
at the University of Califor
nia at Berkeley. The proto
type of the new University
leader became Mario Savio.
TICKY-TACKY CITIZENS
Berkeley was a factory
for producing ticky-tacky
citizens, Savio argued, in
stead of scholars end free
thinking, independent citi
zens. That factory was intoler
able to Savio. "We must
throw our bodies into the
machine and bring it to a
grinding halt," Savio urged
from the steps of Berkeley's
Sproul Hall.
"And if we do that," Sav
io concluded, "then some
thing is going to take place
in these buildings that
hasn't happened for a long,
long time. Education."
SHAKEN-COUNTRY
The Berkeley explosion
shook the campus, Califor
nia, and the country.
Clark Kerr was dismissed
as Chancellor of Berkeley,
but students were granted
what they wanted free
speech.
After the Berkeley dis
turbance, the Students for
Democratic Society estab
lished chapters on almost
every major state universi
ty campus.

At Iowa State it was be
cause "hippie" former SDS
member Don Smith was
elected president of the stu
dent body.
At ti.e University, SDS
has attracted attention for
teach-ins and a few demon
strations. At Harvard, SDS won
widespread disapproval for
harrassing Secretary of De
fense Robert McNamara.
POLEMIC
An excellent guide to SDS
tactics on campuses is Carl
Davidson's polemic, "Multi
versity: Crucible of the
Working Class."
Davidson, a former grad
uate student at the Univer
sity is now a leading figure
in the national SDS move
ment, and the ideas ex
pressed in "Multiversity"
have a familiar sound.
Establish a Hyde Park,
Davidson suggests, to pro
vide a forum for free
speech. SDS candidates can
run for office on a Freedom
Democratic Party ticket.
MISTRUST
But running throughout
the entire pamphlet, and the
entire SDS political philoso
phy, is a mistrust, if not
hatred, of power structures.
Davidson is critical of stu
dent government because It
usually has no voice in Uni
versity policies. It is unfor
tunate, muses Davidson, be
cause student leaders are
being "duped" by the ad
ministration. .
Student leaders are pup
pets which lead students to
believe that they have some
form of representative gov
ernment. In a sense, they
are almost traitors to the
cause of student's rights and
student power.
TAKE POWER
The students must take
power, according to David
son. Democratic govern
ment can be won out after
a direct and vigorous con
frontation with the admin
istration. (As at Berkeley.)
Student support on a large
scale is necessary, David
son says, even though it
may take years to find the
proper issue and the proper
approach.
But in the process of decision-making
after the bat
tle is won, Davidson prom
ises, students will have re
ceived an invaluable lesson
in democracy.

whelming point of it all to

rights and the war in Viet
nam. There are moral issues.
But they are indicative of
broader SDS views. A few
men in this country control
90 per cent of the economic,
power. Few people have
any real political or econom
ic control.
Carl Davidson, while not
a spokesman for the Nation
al organization believes that
the only (and inevitable)
way to change things is a
full civil war.
HATRED
Racial hatred will play a
role, he predicts, but white
have-nots will unite with
black have-nots to over
throw the existing power
structure.
Still, many Americans
are well-clothed and well
fed. Davidson admits this.
But are they really happy,
he asks? Don't they feel the
impersonality and aliena
tion of an 8 to 5, color tele
vision society? Are they so
much different from the stu
dents at Berkeley?
These are the complaints
of the New Left lack of
freedom, lack of democra
cy, an increase in compu
terized American society, a
decrease in meaningful ac
tivity and vocation.
CRITICS
SDS is not without its cri
tics. ,
Most members have long
hair and wear ragged blue
jeans. And with typical hu
man distaste for the unusu
al, it is easy to dismiss
them as "sandal-wearing
beatniks."
Few intelligent observers
of the political scene make
this mistake.
SDS is a way of life, if a
member wants it that way.
SDS chapters are usually
whole subcultures within
University communities.

look, act, and talk so much
alike that one glance around
any student union quickly
identifies them as quickly
as a fraternity pin.
An SDS member on the
road need only locate his
fellow members on any
campus to obtain recreation,
food and housing for a night.
But there are other, and
more serious criticism.
Some political scientists
accuse them of a doctrin
aire naivete. It would be
hard, however, to argue
that the Newark riots which
started in SDS-organized

tists are likely to accuse
New Leftists of criticizing
society freely, but present
ing no counterplan to re
move the sources of com
plaints. "They know what's
wrong," remarked one Uni
versity administrator, but
they don't seem to have
many solid suggestions
about a better system."
Oddly enough, SDS mem
bers usually admit that this
allegation is true. One thing
at a time, they are likely to
respond. Let's travel the old
road before we start on the
new ojie.
MAY DEVELOP
The New Left movement
is not going to disintegrate.
It may develop into a ma
jor, national third party
movement. Certainly some
of its ideas will affect fu
ture liberal politics, as pres
ent college students begin
to find jobs and increased
power.
But there is a distinct and
frightening possibility that
Carl Davidson's prediction
may be on target.
NO ANSWER
"They" (the -New Left)
have been brought up on a
literature of devastating
criticism that has gone un
answered because there is
no answer," reminds educa
tor Paul Goodman.
"The right comparison to
them are the youth of the
Reformation, and of Russia
in the seventies and eight
ies. Let us remember that
those students did, indeed,
ultimately lead revolu
tions." It's all very well, Good
man seems to say, to buy
neat-looking posters of
Stokely Carmichael to hang
right next to your August
Playgirl foldout.
If you find Stokely
with a slightly different ex
presfion on his face stand
ing in front of your house
with a fire brand, it's no
body's fault but your own,.

Rodeo Club Attending Its First
National Intercollegiate Rodeo
By GARY GILLEN
Junior Staff Writer
The University R o d e o
Club will attend its first
National Intercollegiate Ro
deo Association (NIRA) ro
deo in Ames, Iowa, this Fri
day and Saturday.
Five club representatives
will enter six different
events including bare-back
riding, calf roping, ribbon
roping, bulldogging and
saddle bronc riding, accord
ing to Neil Hirsch, club
vice president.
Representing the Nebras
ka club will be Butch Ter
ril, Chip Whittaker, A. B.
Cox, Neil Hirsch and John
Sennett.
COMPETITION
The club 'will be compet
ing against members of the
NIRA great plains district
including North Dakota,
South Dakota, Kansas,
Wisconsin and Iowa.
The rodeo club joined the
national organization last
spring so they could attend
more rodeos and could com
pete on a national basis.
Membership in the NIRA
is not automatically grant
ed to club members. Each
individual is allowed to de
termine if he wants to par
ticipate in the organization.
INDEPENDENT ENTRIES
Students who are mem
bers of the University Ro
deo Club may enter NIRA
rodeos independently but
their efforts will not be
credited toward their club's
standing.
"Since this is the club's
first NIRA rodeo the repre
sentatives were selected by
the club's NIRA members,"
Hirsch said.
