"Along with some members of the local
police agencies, there'll be people who are
critical of the police. This should lead to some
interesting class discussions," he said.
Pierce said the response from polict; aijencies
was "enthusiastic and favorable."
He said the course will give persons the
opportunity to discuss literary as opposed to
real experience.
Course readings are to include "radical
literature that portrays policemen as being
pigs" and examples of the new journalism,
Pierce said.
He said Eldridge Cleaver's Soul On lea wa:
an example of radical literature and Tiuman
Capote's In Cold Blood was ,m example of the
new journalism. Both books ate scheduled
course readings.
He said additional books to be read include
The Now Centurions and Jimmy Bie.liu's World j
without End, Amen.

Who killod JFK? Nov. 22, 1973
marks tho 10 th yeiir since the
assdsination of Pres. John F. Kennedy.
Since that time much research and
probing has uncovered some startling
facts.
We were told that he was killed by
a frustrated loner Lee Oswald.
13 ut ... why did 23 of the
eyewitnesses believe that the shots
came from the front, when Oswald
was al lodged ly positioned behind the
motorcade? Why does the suppressed
Zapruder home movie, taken at the
scene, reveal the president being
blasted violently backwards, again,
inconsistent with Oswald's location to
the rear.
Why did the frustrated loner,
reputedly a leftist, have a history of
involvement with the CIA? Why are
the eleven files compiled by the CIA
on Oswald, prior to the assasination,
being withheld from the public until
2039? WHY???
John Kennedy was killed l y a
conspiracy and for a reason. Power
changed hands that fateful day in
Dallas.
What strange links exist between
figures involved in the assasination
and men arrested for the Watergate
breakin?
It is impossible to understand the
course of American policy over the
last decade until the motives behind
the assasination are brought to light.
An incredible program including
hundreds of rare slides pluse the
suppressed Zapruder film with an
in-depth verbal explanation of the
suppressed facts, political links and
motives behind the assasination is
being presented Wednesday, Oct. 24
at 7 p.m. East Campus Activities Glclg.
