Anti-draft speakers
veto society s rules
We can't break out using
the warden's rule book'
by Jim Pedersen
Nebraskan Staff Writer
Duane Ferre, Tuesday told
an audience of University
students that the answers
for changing our society can
not be found in the institutions
of hat society."
Ferre and Dr. Paul
Lautner. director of Resist,
and anti-draft organization,
spoke on resistance to the
draft as part of "Time Out."
Comparing society's
restrictions to those of a
prison, Ferre said, "We can't
break out using the warden's
rule book."
"IF WE want to make basic
changes in our society, we
can't follow the rules," he
added.
"Leaders in society and
university administrators can
render protests ridiculous by
merely saying 'go through the
proper channels, " Ferre
continued. "I sympathize with
the people at Columbia
University who realized they
had to commit civil disobe
dience." A graduate of Dennison
University, Ohio, Ferre was
court-martialed and sen
tenced to a year in prison
after he disobeyed an Air
Force command to continue
his combat training.
According to Ferre, his at
titude in college was that
"everybody had to serve, why
not serve as an officer?"
BIT WHILE taking a
course in combat training, he
added, "I realized they were
teaching me to kill."
Ferre applied for a
discharge as a conscientious
objector. Rejected on that
application, he asked for non
combatant duty, which was
alo refused.
Following his court-martial,
Ferre was sent to prison in
Leavenworth. Kansas.
"When I got out," he said,
"I came to the conclusion that
we are all in a prison in
society."
THE RESTRICTIONS ot
snriptv are no different than
the restrictions of a prison,
aooordinz to Ferre.
-Today we don't really kill
the non-conformist," Ferre
added, "but by de-bumaiuza-
tion. we kill about everyuung
that is important m his life.
In the military, Ferre said
he learned that the Constitu
tion was not a relevant docu-
ment; the military
superceded the Constitution.
i have my serious doubts
that we can stop this
democracy from being
militarized," Ferre said.
IF A person wants to free
himself from this threat, he
must pay a price, according
to Ferre.
"For many of you con

jail, you may avoid it," he
said, "but, in doing so, you
may give yourself a life
sentence in something far
worse than jail."
Lautner read to the audience
statements of two groups of
Catholic clergy, one from
Milwaukee and one from
Cadenceville, Maryland, who
had burned draft records in
their communities.
The major import of the
statement of the Milwaukee
clergy was that some pro
perty does not have the right
to exist.
"AS THE Milwaukee
statement suggests,
"property is not sacred,"
Lautner said. "The members
of the Boston Tea Party, who
destroyed property for a
reason, we call patriots."
Calling for a committment
of young Americans, Lautner
said, "The pioneer spirit
which drove people to come to
Nebraska at great sacrifice
has died with complacency."
"The problem facing us
now, as with them, is how
much are we willing to invest
to create a new world," he
concluded.

But he pointed out it still
is not as accepted here as in
other large American
universities such as Berkeley,
Michigan and Colorado.
"This is basically an auto
oriented campus," added one
devotee of dual-wheel drive.
"People think nothing of
parking a car on campus and
then walking everywhere and
never using it"
But it was pointed out to
him, wouldn't there be
drawbacks when weekend
dating time came?
"TRUE," HE replied, "but
if your chick has one (A
bicycle) you can wheel out to
a park or somewhere and not
have to worry about being
bothered by policemen."
Some cyclists reported
slight regulation from the
police, especially in the
downtown area, but no
serious problems. Even
though licenses are required
on bikes in Lincoln, the
Nebraskan check revealed
very few campus cycles
bearing any sort of license at
aH.
There are also varied
systems of carrying things

front-basket method, the rear

other.

reasons of all to ride a bike to j

Racial
by Larry Eckholt
Nebraskan Staff Writer
Omaha attorney Wilbur
Phillips addressed a sparce
crowd for the opening session
of the ASUN-sponsored "Time
Out" program.
Less than 100 persons,
primarily students, trickled
into the Union ballroom to
hear Phillips attack the in
sincerity of white Americans
when dealing with racial
issues.
PHILLIPS LOOKED into
the white-dominated audience
and said "if you think you are
not a racist, then you 're one
of the worst kind of racists."
He said that all Americans
have to realize that "99
per cent of the concepts being
drilled into our heads are
wrong" if any progress
towards racial harmony is to
be realized.
Phillips was particularly
harsh to "sympathetic liberal
types" who devote their lives
"doing their things for those
poor, deprived black
Americans."
"WE DON'T need any more
people coming into the ghetto
telling us what to do to be
good Americans," he con

Phillips, president of the
Nebraska Negro Historical
Society, cited several
historical facts which have
been distorted in Anerican
history, all dealing with blac;k
people.
"Unless these concepts are
changed by persons within the
white majority, there is
nothing we can do," the at
torney said.
PHILLIPS BELIEVES that
the Black Power movement
now being experienced in the
United States was created by
the voter registration drives
in the early 1960s.
"There has been a resent
ment of the rushing into the
South by northern liberals lo
give the black man voting
power," Phillips said. "After
registration came realization.
Realization of the hypocracy
involved."
"We really believed, once,
that if we went to school, got
a degree, went to war and got
shot at a couple of times,
painted our fences and mow
ed our lawns, that we would
be accepted.

Then, Phillips said, the
black man asked: "Who is the
white man to say when he will
accept us?"
"And that brings us up to
date," Phillips said. "The (hv

'black is ugly and that

PHILLIPS COULD offer
only two alternatives to a
reaction towards annihilation
of the black American
population.
an uprising by the
minority to gain power,
"which would never be suc
cessful. the mass exodus of 22
million black Americans.
"I realize that the second is
the more conservative
answer, that leaving does not
answer the question 'can man
live together in society?'," he
said.
"BUT HAVE men gotten
along?" Phillips asked the
audience. "You're going to
have to convince me that they
ever will."
On Nov. 22 and 23 "The
Rogues Trial," a play by
Brazilian playwright Ariano
Suassuna. will be presented
by the University Theater.
This is the first time that this
play has been produced in the
United States. It will be
directed by English Ph.D.
candidate Donald Sobolik, and
feature an all-University cast.
'"FESTIVE OVERTURE"
by Juan Orrego-Salas of
Chile, will be performed by
the University of Nebraska
Symphony Orchestra on Nov.
24. The concert will be held in
the Union Ballroom at 8 p.m.
and will be conducted by
Professor Emanuel Wishnow.
