Mike Flinn had promised not to say much at his program last Wednesday night, and he stuck to his promise He jet his recordings and his slides speak for him The communication was one of thought, idea, and belief through “sensual osmosis.” The mood was felt, not spoken. The eye and ear co-ordinated an awakening that completely bypassed the necessity for words It brought out just about every emotional response possible .

Like the 20th Century itself, the art and music must be completely new and unique.” Artistic attempt Flinn said his program was “an attempt to show one has to experience 20th Century art, not just view it, but hear and feel it. Everything from city architecture to the Vietnam War raises questions instead of giving answers. As a result, this art and music is abstract, disjointed and clashing The Union Coffee Shop was packed with little standing room left for the show Flinn emphasized that this was not to be a classroom situation, but an audio-visual experience “Art and expression of what we are They have meaning when music is an integrated.” Flinn, | who interested 17 electronic music since he was a college senior 1n Oregon, spent about {0 hours has been putting the picutres and the music for the program together Slides were shown in rapid succession as four selections of electronic music were played selection WdsS The first “lonization” by Edger Varese.

By this time, tension and emotion had risen so high in the room that Flinn asked for a brief interlude to ‘‘clear the air.” The second half of the program was perhaps more compelling than the first. Through the skillful manipulation Of slides, Flinn attempted to tell four stories, beginning with childhood memorial The second story was a dream sequence affected through the use of landscape scenes. Female theme Next came the experience of woman in contemporary society. This sequence carried her through the stages of first self-awareness, parental pressure, and eventual acceptance of herself. Last was an ‘‘Alienation -Agression War.’ This was done mainly with pictures of Christ The crucifiction was of particular interest. The background music for the stories was ‘‘Cycle in Bells for Tape Recorders and Orchestra’’ by Otto Lueming and Vladimir Ussachevski The end of the program brought wide-spread applause, and much confusion. One boy said, ‘I don't know what to say. | can not comprehend what | just saw.” Another said he — was “breathless through it all.” Whatever the reaction, everyone present was given 4 rich hour of the best in pop music and art. Flinn said his purpose was not to entertain, but to make one experience art and music and the way the two relate to our emotions. f “ae Diamonds 4 4 >>.

If Congress doesn‘t enact legislation by Jan. overhauled ne ] ! Sf 7 1. President Nixon has promised to make massive administrative changes in the draft. At this point, It looks as if the job will be left to the President. Because of its slow pace this year, Congress has a large backlog of work and is unlikely to get around to draft refrom before adjournment= Without authority from Congress, the President cannot institute the new lottery selection system that he prefers. But he does have enough administrative powers to create something very similar. The President plans to begin a system that will make young men srable to the draft for only one year (at age 19) rather than for the present seven and one half years (from 18% to 26). It would work something like this: In each month, the Selective Service boards would meet the draft quota by choosing at random from the young men in the prime age group who were closest to their 20th birthdays. if a young man got through his 19th year without being ted, he would be home free. He could then plan his life and career without having to worry again about being interrupted for military service. College men still could get student deferments. But after graduation, each would have to take his turn in the eligibility pool with the 19-year-olds for one year. This system is not President Nixon’s first choice. He would prefer a genuine lottery system, in which a random drawing of birth dates before each new year would determine which 19-to-20-year-old men would be draft bait that year. This would remove even more of the uncertainty for draft-age men. But the President cannot install his preferred system until he gets authority from Congress, which in 1967 specifically prohibited the executive branch from creating a draft lottery by administrative action. Whatever happens, the young man of eligible age today has an increasingly good chance of being passed over by his draft board. yulne induc ¥ This is not to say he can relax and forget it, but the facts are: 1. Fewer people are going to be drafted. President Nixon reduced by 50,000 the number of men to be called up in the last quarter of 1969. (This is not so impressive when one considers that the total number of draftees for the year—290,400—will be only 6,000 less than in 1968. Still, the trend is down for the first time in recent years 2.1f the administration carries out its plan to steadily turn more of the war effort over to the South Vietnamese (Vietnamization”’), the draft calls will continue to get smaller. Monthly quotas of about 15,000—almost half the present rate—are being predicted for next spring. 3. Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird has ordered manpower reductions of 50,000 for the Air Force and 20,300 for the Marine Corps, and there may be further personnel cutbacks. 4. Stronger efforts will be made to attract volunteers. President Nixon's critics contend that these changes in the draft are tactical moves to pacify college students. They say the President merely wants to quiet student dissent for a few months without making really substantial changes in Vietnam policy. Tis THE BUST-oR, AN you 1s THE BuUsT-EES |!" change is on the way Tuesday, October 14, 1969, Fountainhead, Page I! But whaterver the President's motives, most draft-age men are likely to be pleased with his preposals for reducing both the vulnerability period and the number of men inducted. Moreover, the administration already has made some key reforms. The president has ordered that drafted graduate students be allowed to finish their academic year before induction. Up to now, they have only been allowed to wait until the end of the semester. Also, the administration has formed Youth Advisory Committees in each state to suggest changes in the operation of the draft. And the Pentagon has begun a study aimed at developing uniform policies for the nation’s 4,000 local boards. In discussing the draft, it is hazardous in the extreme to make predictions. As history indicates, the system can be and often is changed quickly to meet new military needs or to satisfy congressional whims. But right now it seems that forces are converging to make the draft fairer and less disruptive for the nations’s youth. And beyond this, there is the Nixon campaign pledge—recently repeated—to see an all-volunteer army when the Vietnam war ends. By BEN CURRENCE “For once, black people are going to use the words they want to use--not just the words whites want to hear. An they will do this no matter how often the press tries to stop the use of the slogan by equating it with racism or separatism.” —Stokely Carmichael SNCC The civil rights era is dead and in it’s place came the angry cry of “Black Power.” This slogan can be clearly defined for those who do not attach the fears of white America to their questions about it. But, as there are many interpreters, there are as many interpretations. From these interpretations arises at least four different forumlations of black power to be considered. First comes black power as black capitalism. Leaders both black and white, including our president, have called for more black ownership, black jobs and black businesses stemming from capital provided through loans. Electural politics have been used as a means to get power. Black political parties have organized to place black men in office who will remain responsible to their people. However, there are those who hold that a black face in office is not necessarily a form of black power. Thirdly, black power is seen as black control of black communities. This implies a black effort to take control of their own communities from the white soverning structure and business interests. As they usually are of not relevant use in the black community. Floyd MckKissick, national director of CORE holds that “ownership of businesses in the ghetto must be transferred to black people--either individually or collectively.” radicals and other potentially revolutionary segments of the against the white popuration since, according to its analysis, genuine self-determination for blacks cannot be achieved in the framework of the present capitalist imperialism and racism which characterize the US. Links with the revolutionary third world are also stressed since the black struggle will supposedly be anticolonialist like other national liberation movements, and directed against a common enemy: U.S. imperialism.” Thus, we have four major interpretations of the slogan “Black Power.’’ They connote self preservation, black pride and a desire for the realization of those concepts upon which this country was founded. To say that these interpretations are Marxist, communistic, or plain un-American is to show a bias somewhere on the other side of the spectrum. However, black control of the Students and employees of the University are urged to express their opinions in the Student Forum. — Letters should be concise and to the point.

Connelly runs the Washington Bureau for the Winston-Salem Journal and Sentinel. is Connelly’s first wall eee black community must not result in black elite control to support the power of the white establishment over the black ghetto. Programs to better individual black businessmen are exactly for that. They are not offered to the black community as a whole and thus are rejected by them. As R.L. Allen of The Guardian says: ‘‘Black power is black liberation within the context of a U.S. revolution. This wing of the black power movement, represented by the Black Panthers, many members of SNCC and various local groups, views black people as a dispersed internal colony of the U.S., exploited both materially and culturally. “*Ilt advocates an anticolonial struggle for self-determination which must go hand-in-hand with a general. revolution throughout the U.S. It urges alliances with white Nixon requests anti- protest Moratorium President Nixon has requested a 60-day silence from the American public. From the moment of his nomination in the summer of 1968, he has thrived upon American ‘‘silence.’’ The dissidents, the young and the black, left him well alone throughout the campaign and they have ever since. Why? Because no one expect Richard Nixon to strengthen the channels for access to government responsiveness. His appeal, more than any other leading politician in this country, is geared for the “forgotten American”--a simplistic code word for the apathetic middle-class citizen. According to a Nixon “image-builder’’ the purpose of the 1968 campaign was to “construct an Astrodome --where the wind would never blow and the ball would never bounce erratically.’’ It worked in November, but it will not work now. Nixon hinted that he had some sort of secret solution for Vietnam. He has been forgiven for that ploy. The New York/California Republican has come a long way since his early days of Red-baiting, evidenced as late as the 1960 campaign. But that is a poor reason for expecting him to be successful in peace negotiations this time. Richard Nixon has been living in a vacuum for nine months. Perhaps the Oct. 15 moratorium wil: help to penetrate that insidious barrier. Nixon can be a good President. But he needs our help.
