STRIKE
MEETING
by Dave Kahn
Student Body President Dave Krashna, chairman of the
strike agenda committee, last night called an emergency
session of all strikers to meet tonight at 8:00 p.m. in Stepan
Center.
Earlier at an ad hoc meeting to determine the direction of
the strike, Krashna, in an attempt to consolidate leadership
appointed Mark Winings, Jim Leary, Walt Williams, Fred
Dedrick, Chris Ottenweller, Professors John Houck and
William Storey to an agenda committee for the strike meeting
tonight. Houck and Storey supported the action but declined
membership because they felt the students should manage
their own affairs.
Krashna adjourned the ad hoc meeting and in a private
session with the new agenda committee established a single
proposal to be set forth at the strike meeting for student
appraisal and vote.
The proposal reads as follows:
The Notre Dame Student Strike should be extended to
Friday, May 15 in order to achieve the following measures:
1) Student support and petitioning for Father Hesburgh's
attack on President Nixon's Southeast Asian policy.
2) The establishment of a Communiversity which would
program films, teach-ins, seminars, etc. which pertain to all
relevant issues. Furthermore, the Communiversity would

points at issue - the vilidity of
the points and the propriety of
making a statem en t. With regard
to the latter, he adm itted th a t in
the past he had urged faculty.,
and stu d en ts alike to avoid
making the university a center of
activism. However he feels th at
the university today is not like it
was in the past. It is no longer a
reflective, speculative, and con­
tem plative place.
R estricting him self to the
issue of th e U.S. entry into
Cam bodia, Professor William T.
Liu of the Sociology D epart­

vote. In his opinion, the main
p o in t is th a t America cannot win

NOTRE DAME, INDIANA
Letter
Tonight is only Wednesday night, but you can see it com ing already.
Friday will dawn and there will be a few h oldouts, but in general, we will be
back to “ business as usual” here at Notre Dame. N othing will have changed
m uch in Cambodia, Vietnam , South Bend, or on campus. What will have
happened however is that our rage, fear, and confusion over N ix o n ’s move
last Thursday will have been expressed and dissipated. Our heated
discussions and im passioned speeches will have relieved our internal
conflicts. Sadly, our activities o f the last few days will be revealed for what
they were: simply a com m unal scratching o f an irritating mental and moral
itch , som ething quite different from what our personal and national
situation calls for.
At this late date, our naivete is inexcusable. Do we really believe that the
fundam ental changes we seek can be wrought by tw o days outbursts and late
night debates? Who has deceived us into thinking that the goals we seek can
be achieved w ithout a day-to-day engagem ent that puts personal convenience
at the b ottom o f the list o f priorities? Was the strike the m ost effective
action we could think o f - o r was it the easiest? The m en whose names we have
invoked would laugh at us. How could Gandhi, Guevara, King, Jefferson, etc.
take our brand o f “ revolutionary com m itm ent” seriously?
Until we understand the depth o f the demand macte on us by our vision,
all our strikes, protests, marches, and speeches will be nothing more than a
grandiose m ethod o f relieving our ow n problems. M eanwhile, the tanks will
keep rolling, the bombs keep falling, and our brothers keep dying.

The S a n c t u a r i e s
T he past few days have intensified the question th a t has been in th e m inds of m any of
us for some tim e: “ Can I serve in the m ilitary while th e nation is fighting an im m oral
war?” T hat agonizing question has forced us to consider the consequences o f resistance to
th e d raft, leaving the country for Canada, o r applying for conscientious objection. For
the m en that are not to ta l pacifists, to ta l conscientious objection is impossible, and
selective conscientious objection does n o t exist in the U nited States. The consequences of
leaving for Canada or going to prison bring on a sense of aloneness and apprehension,
because the consequences o f those actions are considerable.
On M onday, F ather H esburgh took a stand, he aligned him self w ith men th at have
judged the V iet Nam war im m oral and unjust, and he did so publicly. T hat is
com m endable, and now the question arises as to w hat F ath er H esburgh’s action will be.
He has taken a moral stand similar to many stu d en ts, b u t th e day-to-day consequences of
his moral stand are not the same as ours.
What could be a response o f F ather Hesburgh and the faculty to our present dilemma?
How can the com m unity create a situation so th a t a person would not have to make his
decision alone and would not bear th e consequences of th a t decision alone? Alone, I am
nothing; I have little pow er to m ake my voice heard, I have little ability to stand before
the might o f th e state, I have little ability to p ro tect my moral stance against th e courts
and prison and the prospect o f no jo b . T ogether w ith F ath er Hesburgh and the
adm inistrators, together w ith the faculty, stu d en ts th a t resist th e V ietnam war have at
least a chance. ____
H ow could a sancturay be created? W hat would a sanctuary be?
F irst, th e university would never officially become a haven fo r resisters and the
adm inistrators would never allocate funds to feed, house, and give legal assistance to,
several hundred men com m itted to non-participation in the war. But individual
adm inistrators th a t are com m itted to helping stu d en ts could give their individual
assistance, and in the case o f F ath er H esburgh this could be imm ense. Perhaps one o f the
dorm itories could be used; perhaps jobs o n cam pus could be provided. F aculty th a t have
law degrees could give free legal assistance to men th a t challenge the co n stitu tio n ality of
th e CO law or the constitutionality of the present war. Perhaps faculty m em bers would
jo in w ith th e students to th e ex ten t th a t they would stand w ith them before the
punishm ent o f th e state.
S tu d en t governm ent could play an enorm ous role. A referendum to the stu d en t body
could allow part o f the $96,000 th a t stu d en t governm ent has to be spent on the costs of
protecting th e mem bers in the sanctuary. O ther means for students raising the funds are
available.
T he sanctuary would be voluntary, it would allow older men to co n trib u te their tim e,
their know ledge, their m oral support, and perhaps th eir m oney to a group o f students
resisting w hat they have judged to be an im m oral and unjust war. It is a means for F ather
H esburgh to take a concrete action as an individual, a means for him to respond as an
individual to th e moral dillem na that m any of his students are going to face alone unless
the com m unity acts.
One suggestion th a t I w ould offer is that Professor Charles M cCarthy, who has a law
degree and is looking for a j o b next year, be em ployed by S tu d en t G overnm ent to act as
legal advisor and general coordinator of the proposed sanctuary.
T he com m unity m ust stand together now , o r we will be picked off individually. The
senior m em bers o f the com m unity could voluntarily co n trib u te their services and
support. We have joined together for m arches, fasts, and rallies, but these things will soon
pass, and men will be left alone and vulnerable unless we act together to create a
sanctuary.

Despair
The Soft Parade

■
■==?
In his stirring speech the o th er night, Representative Allard
Low enstein spoke of th e need for a change. He cried o u t against
w hat he rightly considered idiotic budget priorities. He argued
against giving the m ilitary a carte blanche au th o rizatio n , while
seriously un d ercu ttin g the monies fo r dom estic proposals. He also
decried the obvious hypocisy th at is rife in our legislature dom estic funds are decried as inflationary while m ost m ilitary funds
are passed w ithout a w him per of protest.
However it is pointless to list w hat I agreed with Mr. Low enstein
ab o u t. Those who know me, must realize th at I em phatically reject
the type of foreign policy th at Mr. Low enstein advocates. However
th a t is n ot w hat I w ant to talk about.
Mr. Low enstein m entioned the despair th at young people feel.
Much as I h ate being lum ped under th at all inclusive title — young
people - I would have to agree w ith him . I, along w ith m any other
young people feel an ever deepening despair. The reasons for my
despair are radically different from those which cause this feeling in
others.
Low enstein said he d id n ’t feel the despair th at young people did.
In the sense he m eant I agree with him. As far as the solution o f the
various probelm s the co u n try faces, I am optim istic. I have little
doubt th at the present order of things can be changed for the b etter
and I th in k th at people are starting to realize th at they can work for
change - now and effect it soon.
The type of despair th at I experience will never be able to be
changed by the actions of an Allard Low enstein, since people like
him are the cause of it. I honestly feel th at once my generation
assumes the reins of pow er, it will signal the beginning of the end of
the United States as a sovereign nation. I, quite frankly, have no
faith w hatsoever in my generation. Perhaps I am being excessively
pessimistic. Y et looking at th e events of the past few days where
large num bers of stu d en ts have turned to violence because their
dem ands have been th w arted , I shudder for our nation. We are as
Dave K rashna put it the leaders o f tom orrow . Yet w hat type of
leaders will we become?
Will we be the type o f people th a t su b stitu te em otion, fo r reason
or irrationality for logic? I th in k so. We seem all to o ready to accept
statem ents as facts, w ithout questioning them as long as th ey come
from people who agree with us. We readily reject the statem en ts of
people that d o n ’t agree w ith us w ith arrogance, because of our
stubborn pride. We refuse to accept the fact th at m any things th at
people do are not done with devious motives in m ind. We seek to
negate or circum vent laws th at we d o n ’t agree w ith. We grow
frustrated when the governm ent doesn’t instantly respond to our
wishes and turn to mob actio n and violence in attem p ts to
intim idate existing bodies into following th e course o f action
dictated by th e strident voices am ong us. In our blindness we
venerate individuals, who in an earlier day would have been branded
for w hat they were com m on criminals because they espouse the
same ideals many o f us hold.
The attitu d e underlying the philosophy held by m any stu d en ts
to d a y is pockm arked with naievete. We crow about im m ediate
withdraw al from V ietnam , w ithout even bothering to th in k about
the consequences. We crow about how it is good th a t this co u n try is
undergoing a near defeat in southeast Asia w ithout bothering to face
up to the painful fact th at the strength o f America is th e only thing
th a t blocks the Russians, Chinese and Cubans from extending either
direct or indirect influence over great areas o f the world. If we are
seriously w eakened, by having any com m unist nation carving o ut a
greater sphere of influence, it will not only h u rt us, b u t the rest of
the non-com m unist world as well. Y et I realize this view is not in
vogue to d ay , so I shall rest my argum ent.
I wish I could extend as optim istic a feeling as was exhibited by
one of the greatest Americans recently when he said “ I know th at
my redeem er liveth.” F or our generation I fear there will be none.

Niemeyer
Y esterday, Dr. G erhart Niemeyer, a professor in
the G overnm ent departm ent at N otre Dame, was
interview ed by Observer News E ditor Steve H offman.
Dr. Niem eyer, who received his doctorate from Kiel
University in G erm any, teaches courses in Political
T heory and C om m unist ideology.
Observer: Much of the uproar of the past few days
has been based upon the assertion th at President
N ixon’s decision to extend U.S. m ilitary forces in to
Cam bodia is a usurpation o f Congressional power. Is
this a valid com plaint?
Niemeyer: First o f all, let me say that there has
been no declaration o f war in this case. If there was
one, against whom would it be directed? Since the
National Liberation Front and the Viet Cong are not
legitimate governments, war could not be declared
against them. The situation resembles Chinese
intervention in Korea, when Peking never saw fit to
declare war. Further, Congress has gone along with
the war for several years. Its argument now comes too
late. __
Observer: In your opinion, what factor or factors
have provoked such unflinching rejection of Ad­
m inistration foreign policy, especially on college
campuses?
Niemeyer: I interpret this as a general re­
volutionary attitude against all society. As a rejection
of society as a whole, it follows that this feeling
would also be directed against what the society does
outside its borders. The rejection o f Administration
policy is symptomatic o f far deeper causes of
discontent, which can be identified as vacant dreams
of a perfect society free of wars, evil and social ills.
Observer: What effect do you feel the P resident’s
action will have upon the current process of
V ietnam ization?
Niemeyer: I foresee a favorable, a decidedly
favorable effect on the process of Vietnamization.
The South Vietnamese have resp o n d ^ with a great
deal of spirit to the President's confidence in
Vietnamization, and I fail to see that this process will
be greatly altered by his action.
Observer: In a larger sinse, how do you conceive of
the position o f United States in the world? Have we
misjudged our priorities?
Niemeyer: No, I don’t believe that we are guilty of
misjudgement. Within the system of alliances in
operation throughout the world, we are the kingpins.
on
Professor Gerhart Niemeyer
There can be no getting away from this fact. Nor is
there any country capable o f replacing us in this role.
Other countries would surely collapse under the force
o f communism if we were to abdicate our
responsibility.
Observer: S tudent discontent w ith the Cambodia
situ atio n has evoked denouncem ent and feverish
p ro test on several college campuses. Do you believe
th a t the current strikes in effect here and elsewhere
are wellfounded?
Niemeyer: No, I must maintain that these protests
are not w ell-foun d ed . President N ixon’s decision
concerning Cambodia is a prudential one. Those who
disagree would apparently have made a different
decision, ip my mind, no protest is called for.
Disagreements in the realm of prudence may occur at
any time. Clearly the President is not to be
denounced as a criminal for making what he believes
to be a wise and nrudent decision.
Observer: How do y o u in terp ret th e strategy
behind th e P resident’s move? Do you agree with this
strategy?
Niemeyer: I understand the stratergy to be one of
making sure, by paralyzing North Vietnamese supply
routes, that no catastrophe befalls the American
troops as they leave. The idea is to prevent the whole
house from falling down as we walk out the door.
Five years of effort must not be allowed to go in vain.
I agree with this stratergy.
Observer: President N ixon has inform ed Congress
th a t U.S. intervention in Cam bodia will not be
prolonged one, b u t one th a t will fulfill itself within
six to eight weeks. Do you feel th a t, in actu ality , he
has com m itted the U.S. to Cam bodia for an indefinite
period of time?
Niemeyer: No. I don’t believe so. However, 1
cannot agree with the limitations the President has
fixed. I feel it to be impossible and foolish to set such
dates. It appears that the pressure o f criticism has
imposed these limits. While I believe that we will not
stay any longer, I fear that we may move out and
leave the job unfinished. I’m keeping my fingers
crossed that these fears w on’t be justified.
Observer: Do y o u believe th at the U nited States
will go to any lengths necessary to solidify the
present Lon Nol regime in Cam bodia?
Niemeyer: I fail to see any such attempt in the
President’s strategy. Intervention in a civil struggle in
Cambodia is not the meaning o f his move.
Observer: How do you assess th e effects of the
cu rren t dem onstrations as potentially capable of
dividing the country? Do you feel th a t the people
involved
in
these
dem onstrations
actually
com prehend the gravity of these effects?
Niemeyer: I believe that the divisive effects o f the
past few days will be very strong. To illustrate, I
would point to Rhodes’ defeat in Ohio in the
aftermath of Kent State. (G overnor James Rhodes
was defeated by Congressman R obert T aft in
T uesday’s Senatorial prim ary in O hio.) Such a drop in
the vote for Rhodes, who ordered the troops onto the
Kent State campus, seems to point to an increasing
division within the country. As to whether people
truly comprehend the potential diviseness o f these
demonstrations, I would guess that they would not,
even though I can’t say for certain what goes on in
another person’s mind.
Observer: Assuming th a t President N ixon fails to
achieve his intended objectives in C am bodia, do you
believe th a t the people of this co untry will turn from
him?
Niemeyer: If this action turns out to be failure, it
will be quite disastrous for the Administration. The
consequences will indeed be grave for its future.
Youngbloods
Just who in hell are the Youngbloods,
anyway?
Som ebody asked me that once, which
is a really good thing to ask a
Y oungbloods freak. Y oungbloods freaks
are, yov see, much like Tom Rush freaks,
Tom m y Flanders freaks and Dave Von
Ronk freaks. They love to be asked who
the object o f their particular freakiness is,
because th a t tells them (us) th a t you
d o n ’t really know anything ab o u t this
particular guy o r group, which is very
pleasing to their (our) ears. Few pleasures

ecstasy one can achieve bv standing in a
group o f people and praising TEffe talents
of the E lectric D oorknob (w ho are they?
E xactly!) while categorically denouncing

and o th e r popular (disgust) artists.
A nyw ay, who th e Y oungbloods are are

reservation) one o f the best American
rock groups ever, like one o f th e three or

w hich lasted for tw enty m inutes and
finally broke in to The Pusher (big deal),
this one has some very good stu ff in it.
The first side consists o f five Y oung­
bloods tracks th at never got released
before. The m aterial isn’t quite up to the
stu ff on th e real Y oungbloods album s,
b u t the perform ance and sound are fine.
F our o f th e five tunes are w ritten by
Young; th e o th e r by Jerry C orbitt. I t’s
regular Y oungbloods stu ff-tra d itio n a l,
simple and beautiful, th e kind of stuff
th a t m ost anyone should be able to do
well, except th a t n o t to o m any people
can, and certainly no one can do it like
the Y oungbloods. The sounds th a t the
Y oungbloods make w ith guitars and
pianos and drum s are the kind o f sounds
th a t should be m ade w ith guitars and
pianos and drum s: ju st kind o f real nice
and perfect (well look, nob o d y here
understands all th a t technical crap an y ­
w ay, right?). With Young on th e v o ca lsm ore la ter—everything com es o u t real
good.
SideXtwo o f the album is six cuts from
Y oung’s "second solo album on Mercury
( ’64 or ’65) Young^Blood. This is where it
really gets good. Most o f it is Young
accom panying himself on guitar with
Jo h n Sebastian (w ho else) on harp and
Peter Childs (I d o n ’t know either, b ut
th e re’s his nam e right next to Sebastian’s)
on dobro. I guess th a t this is where we
find o ut some stu ff ab o u t Jesse Colin
Young.
W hether Young has w ritten the song or
n o t, it is always simple, straightforw ard
and fantastic. His guitar w ork is absolute­
ly un-sensational and absolutely perfect;
great rhythm and trem endous sound. His
singing-w ell G od, th at voice!—is so nice,
so tasteful. Somehow he manages to mix
up the traditions of rural blues, folk and
early (like Elvis) rock in to this beautiful
style th a t never stretches beyond its reach
and always seems to fit the song
perfectly. Like who else could have sung
“ G et T ogether” like th at. Lots o f people
tried, b u t well, nob o d y quite makes it
like Y oung does.
Young shows ab o u t as m uch versatility
as I guess y o u can expect from an artist
w ith a distinctive style. He has a song <

acterizes th e kind of soft, p retty m elody
th a t he is so good at. “ W alkin’ o ff th e

thing th a t contrasts nicely w ith the last
cu t on th e album , Lullabye. Lullabye is
th a t real nice thing w ith th e vibes for the
harm onics on Tom Rush’s latest album ;
Young w rote it. Probably the best thing
on th e disc is Y oung’s version of “ B rother
Can You Spare A D im e” , w hich is
dynam ite m aterial to begin w ith, and his
in terp retatio n maxes it sound like i f was
w ritten just for him.
If y o u haven’t g o tten the point yet,
one of the nicest things ab o u t w hat
Y oung and the Y oungbloods do is their

McCarthy blasts w ar,
proposes ND sanctuary
F ather Jam es Riehle, Dean of
S tudents, and Professor Charles
M cCarthy,
D irector
o f the
Program
for
N onviolence,
discussed at H ow ard Hall last
night the current strike and our
co u n try ’s activity in Indochina.
“ Personally I was against the
strike because I was quite
satisfied w ith th e m oratorium in
O ctober,” F ather Riehle began.
He noted th a t, in spite o f what
President N ixon had said, the
au tu m n activities did influence
his policy.
“ At any rate, I’m quite happy
w ith the way the strike’s been
going,” Riehle continued. His
only concern was th a t some
stu d en ts object to having classes
called off. In fact, he said six
stu d en ts have already seen him
ab o u t getting their m oney back
for the missed day.
Professor M cCarthy also has
reservations about the strike. “ I
d o n ’t know if it’s a good idea.
I ’m hardpressed to see th a t it’s
accom plishing
anything,” he
said.
In em phasizing detrim ental
aspects o f the strike M cCarthy
n o ted , “ There is at N otre Dame
an ultra-left ready to capitalize
on action and co n fro n tatio n . A
few people can catalyze disas­
tro u s action.”
M cCarthy devoted the rem ain­
der o f his rem arks to the war
itself. “ The question y o u have to
ask yourself is ‘Is it a ju st w ar’?”
he said.
He w ent on to enum erate the

third standard, th a t a war must

“ There comes a tim e w hen the

“ If the war is n ot ju st and if

When guys are shelling o u t 80

m em bers o f the Rowing Club are
n o t receiving fam e or prizes for
their sacrifice o f tim e, energy,
and m oney, b u t are finding only
personal and collective satisfac­
tion.
The club receives a $500

pockets to keep the club going.
And beside the financial strain,
the crew has also spent tim e
every night o u t at St. Jo sep h ’s
River w orking hard and practic­
ing to have a successful crew.
The crew closes th e 1970
season this weekend against 26
small colleges in Philadelphia’s
Dad Vail T ournam ent. Though
th e three team s, varsity, JV , and
No. 3 have com bined for a 6-14

success and im provem ent over a

six year period.
A fter a 50 year layoff, the
Rowing Club was refounded in
1965. Due to inexperience, the
crew failed to win any races in
its first tw o years. But in 1969
the varsity had a successful
season w ith a 4-1 m ark. This
year, the team ’s won lost success
was ham pered by some very
close calls and u n fo rtu n ate acci­
dents.
So w hat are necessary require­

not ju st in his arms. The
shoulders are extrem ely im p o rt­
an t, and th e wrists m ust be
strong for flipping th e oars.
Much o f the drive is supplied by
the legs, braced against the boat
floor.
_
C oordination is vital, for not
only should all eight oars push
sim ultaneously, b u t they m ust
enter and exit the w ater cleanly
and precisely, w ith o u t any indi­
vidual deviation.
It would seem th a t the guys
ju st get o ut there and row as
hard as th ey can; how ever, over
a 2000 m eter course, pacing
themselves is necessary, and this
is w here th e job o f th e coxswain
com es in.
The coxswain sits at the back
of th e b o at facing th e rowers. He
directs each move, starting with
som e plan in mind after co n ­
sideration of the oppo n en ts and
the conditions of the river. The
plan might be to go so many
strokes at 40 strokes per m inute
(very fast), th en slow to 36 for a
period. The coxswain m ust co­
ordinate the action and be able
to adjust the speed sm oothly.
Assisting th e coxswain is the
stroke, who is the row er directly
in fro n t, facing the coxswain. He
to o serves as a guide for the
oth er rowers.
Coxswain for the varsity is
Phil H opkins, w ho also serves as
coach. The JV coxswain is SMC
ju n io r Barb Walker. She joined
this year, influenced by her
boyfriend who is a m em ber of
th e varsity. The guys respect her
and consider her, as one declar­
ed, “ a dam n good coxsw ain.”
A lthough 73 stu d en ts signed
up for th e club this year and
none were cut, only ab o u t 30
remain due to the rough and
tim e-consum ing w orkouts late
each aftern o o n which discour­

The club itself is hopeful,
hopeful to be established as a
club sp o rt w hich will entail an
additional $200 in university
funds, and hopeful to have
