On The Fine Art
Of Dumping LBJ
By MICK LOWE
Senior Staff Writer
As if the 1968 presiden
tial picture wasn't murky
enough, Allard Lowenstcin
came to campus last week
and shed -a little mud on
the subject,
Lowenstein came ostensi
bly to speak on the war in
Vietnam. This he did. B u t
at the end of his speech
against the war came the
point "The solution is to
get rid of the President."
One suspects he would
stress the same conclusion
if he were speaking about
Negro violence, farm par
ity or the declining price of
American peashooters in
Addis Adaba.
The upshot of Lowen
stein's message was that
"if Lyndon Johnson runs
for president in 1968 he will
be beaten."
MID-STREAM SWITCH
The Democratic Party
sould make a quick mid
stream change of horses to
a peace candidate who
could save the Democrats
from an embarrassing and
overwhelming defeat, Low
enstein avers.
Lowenstein 's startegy, (he
is co-chairman of Con
cerned Democrats), is to
run a peace candidate
against LBJ in states that
h a v e a presidential pri
mary. (Nebraska is one.)

against the war is reflected
in the primaries, the Dem
ocratic Party as a w h o 1 e
will clean its own stables
and not re-offer the nomi
nation to Johnson, accord
ing to Lowenstein's strate
gy, MAY NOT RUN
Lowenstein also foresees
that Johnson may not
choose to run again, since
"he doesn't want to go
down in history as the Pres
ident who received a great
mandate from the people
in one election and had it
totally reverse! lour years
later."
"If everyone just sits,"
Lowenstein cautioned, "we
will have as alternatives
for President Johnson,
Richard Nixon or George
Wallace. People said you
couldn't elect a President to
a third term, too."
FOUR CANDIDATES
So. if people stop sitting
and start acting, the United
States might well have, at
least in the primaries four
candidates for President.
They would have 1. a Re
publican candidate i R o m
ney, Reagan, Rockefeller or
Nixon;) 2. a sectional and
segregationist conservative
probably Alabama's
George Wallace; 3. LBJ,
or 4. some kind of peace or
left-wing Democratic dan
didate. As to just who that
in these terms:
"Time was when the oc
casional Negro accepted at
an Ivy League school . . .
worked fanatically to be
come what he imagined
was a proper college gentle
man. "Today a new breed of
b 1 a c k" cat is tearing up
white campuses, poking
holes in some ivy-covered
notions about integration
and tracking Watts and
Newark into the fastidious
halls . . ."

peace candidate might be,
Lowenstein did not, say.
Names like George McGov
ern) senator from South
Dakota), and Frank Church
(senator from Idaho) were
mentioned, along with sev
eral others.
"You can think of any
Democrat you like, and
he's got to be better than
J o h n s o n," Lowenstein
quipped.
Offering advice to fledg
ling Dump Johnsonites in
Nebraska, Lowenstcin said
they would be told they
were weakening the Demo
cratic partv in Nebraska.
"Just tell them," Lowen
stein replied, "that weak is
the wrong adjective to use,
if Johnson runs. Invisible
would be more like it."
"Although I'm sure there
are people in Nebraska who
like Johnson. Several of
them."
The first primary, and
one of the most important,
is the New Hampshire pri
mary, only five months
away. The Dump Johnson
movement is being organ
ized in New Hampshire, ac
cording to Lowenstcin, but
did not name the peace
candidate in the race.
"Many more details
about that first primary will
be released in December,
when we will have more of
the details worked out,"
Lowenstcin said.
The "Afro" clubs serve
as focal point for black
student's views, cultural
activities, and efforts to in
fluence the college admin
istration. Factors which give rise
to these clubs, wrote Dun
bar, include the growing
number of ghetto-bred and
other Negroes in prestige
colleges: a new desire "to
invest their energies in the
black communities"; a rec
ognition of black values,
and specifically at strife
torn Berkeley a tendency to
avoid white advisers.
An increase in mental dif
ficulties among Negro stu
dents has resulted from the
pressures they face today,
Dunbar reported on black
societies at Columbi a,
Princeton, Harvard, and
R a d c 1 i f f e, Yale. Dart
mouth, Wellesley, Berekc
Icy, Merritt College, and
San Francisco State.
While some schools do
not permit organizations to
discriminate on a basis of
race, he pointed out, the
content of meetings in
cluding phrases like "my
black brothers" discour
ages curious whites from
joining.
)unbar concluded:
"While all the results . . .
are hard to foresee, it is
obvious that students, ad
administrators, faculty and
parents are in for a kind of
education that few ex
pected." COLOR
