Associated Collegiate Press Convention
Draws 1,500 College Editors

One thousand , five hundred college editors assembled in Miami
Beach for the annual Associated
Collegiate Press Convention this
past weekend. The MAROON AND
GOLD was represened by Michael
H ock , Editor -in-Chief ; dor Remsen, Business Manager ; William
Teitsworth , Mana ging Editor ;
Mart in Kleiner , NewsEditor; and
Mr . Michael Stanley , Adviser .
The convention represented an
assembla ge of the people who are ,
perhap s, the voices of the colleges and universitie s. Its significance was not in its banquets ,
speaker s, or meeting s but the
time spent over burgers or a
drink when the real problems
were discussed . Though the ultimate purpose of the convention
was aimed at journalism , these
discussions were relati veto solving a vast number of pr oblems

between the student and the rest
of the world . However, sample
publications from colleges all
over the countr y indicated a trend
toward a revolut ionary type of
jo urnalism which attempt s to
show a true picture , whether it
is good or bad , of the institution
or, as one student stated , "
a type of journal ism where you
must feed the people what they
will eat even when they think it
tastes bad ."
Many students indicated an adverse reaction from admini strators to the "backtalk" which has
recently become an inte gral part
of the college newspaper . Dr .
Geor ge Starcher , pre sident of
the University of North Dakota ,
however , stated that the tre nd

was healthy. He said , "If we
expect students to think then we
should also expect them to criticize and want tilings changed ."
The Editors at the conventi on
discussed these situations and
many others , arr iving at no de*

well-state d in an article from
the Universit y of Mia mi Oracle .
"And perhaps it all comes down

Dear Colleague ,
Your letter In the MAROON &

you have learned an elementary
ruse of
debate: if you can
clumsily misstate your opponent ' s viewp oint and thus manage
to reduce him to a coward, a
moron, and a cad, it is much
easier to defeat thi s caref uly
conceived construct tha n to engage in true , subtantive ar gument. I find In your letter no
hint of a J ustification of your
position but plenty of personal
attac k upon me.

leaders of the Viet Cong and
North Vietnam laud your activities to the skies.

draw for supporting statements ,
including your ar guments of Oct.

As for identifying your stand

Dear Editor:
I am writing with respect to
the ' Sunshine" review in the
October 29 M*G.
In my opinion, Mr . Tom Kearns
wrote one of the most biased reviews I have ever read! After
pr aisin g Mr . Casey, Miss Avery,
Mr . Miller, and Miss Fried , without so, much as one criticism,
he gave a complete criticism of
Miss Beth Powlus , which was
very out of place and very untrue .
Evidently he chose to
ignore the fact mat Miss Powlus has a great voice and that
bier singing was excellent all
(Perhaps Mr .
three nights,
Kearns forgot that "little Mary
Sunshine " was a musical.) One
must consider that her portrayal of the character, Madam Von
Liebedial , included an accent
which , was difficult to execute .
Beth' s role was a minor one in
comparison to Mr. Casey 's and
Miss Avery 's, so she wasn't
expected to steal the show. ¦
I feel Mr. Kearns was very
unfair to Mi ss P owlus because
of the resounding criticism of
her and also that her name was
NOT EVEN mentioned! If this
is the best Mr . K earnscanwrite,
perhaps he should turn in his
pen.
Sincerely,
Kathy Shafer
EDITORS ' NOTE:
Mr . Kearns' review of "Little
Mary Sunshine " was indeed in.
adequate. In addition to that men*
tloned in the above letter , some*
thing should be said for the fantas>
tic achievements of the Jackson
family who provided the musicfor
the entire play. Hats off to those
who contributed to the play and
who helped make it the success
that it was.
ally settled by treat y, and treaties
are the result of mutua l agree ment. The acid test of validity
lies in a system of mutua l control. F or you cannot argue out
of the way the Communist record
of breaking ninet y percent of the
treat ies that Reds have concluded
in the 20th centur y.
In IMS connection, let me c ite
the Vietnam talks of Paris. Pres ident Johnson gave up bombing
North Vietnam —
our main
trum p card — and his own further
career in order to get the North
Vietnamese to the conferenc e
table. The under standing was that
there would be meaningful talks
leading to peace. Yet the Communists have used those talks as
a mere propaganda forum and
keep reiterating their original
deuoands, making no gesture toward meaningful discussions at
all. Would you say that the North
Vietnamese have kept faith with
Lyndon Johnson?
whereas I advocate supporting
the President , who is certainly
better informed than either side
in the broad popular debate , I
should advocate that the American Government should suspend
the Paris talks until the Communists side gives evidence of
making concrete concessions , I
would advocate tills in a peaceful
manner and go through proper
channels rather than holding demonstrations
or publicly br oadcasting the names of the fallen
dead who cannot defend them selves against misuse of their
names. I have never said that I
believe in blindly following our
leaders — although they were
chosen by majority veto, and wo
owe their august office our respect. I advocate soaking Intelligent chan ge without forenslcs ,
cracked skulls, or broken glass.
I advocate making our opinions
known in writing to our elected
representatives.
Your show an appalling lack
of proportion or fairness , when
you compare my previous debate
on Vietnam with Deake Porter
with your sally against mo In

Yes, we must support our " gar gantous struggle " in South east
A*ia. I tremble at the thou ght of
thousands of nasty Vietna mese
burying BSC in punji stakes after
a deadl y sampan landin g on the
Susquehanna. The little gooks
must be rou gh since they are

Buddhists are more peacefu l than
most Christians.) To go farther
not only SOM E CIRC LES consider the Morator ium treas onous; many circles do. Thousands
of patriotic Blrchers , Minutemen, Ku Kluxers , Nazis and members of "citizen grou ps," would
have killed to preserve the dignity of the USA. And I agree that
people convicted of treason
should be hung by their toes until
dead . Nathan Hale got off easy.
So did that agitator called Jesus
Christ . (Was he a blind patriot?)
Finally I will relate one instance
in which I took to heart the
"love ir or leave it" slogan.
I was driving my car one day
when through apath y about the
condition of my tires I received
a flat. Rather than attem pt to
replace the tire I merel y discarded the (Jntire automobile

After read ing your October
29 Issue of the MAROON AND1
GOLD I feel it necessar y to
make some objective criticism
of Mr. Stan Ra kowsky's letter.
Althou gh I firm ly believe we
should withd raw from Vietnam ,
I am very glad to see those with
opposing views expressing them .
Public discussion and compromis e is the essence of decision makin g in our society.
Unfor tunatel y, Mr. Rakowsky 's
letter did mor e to harm his
view, than anything else.
Aside from the name-calling,
a ver y poor display of emotion ,
Mr . Rakowsky presented absolutely NO evidence for his par ticular viewpoint . The statement
"love it or leave it!" in regard
to our country , which. I do love
and don't intend to leave , clearly lacks somethin g essential to
the American way of thinking: the freedom of choice which
allows us not to be forced to decide between two existing evils
or extremes but to instigate
chan ge and create somethingbet ter . Changing our Vietnam policy
was the purpose of the October
Moratorium and is the purpose
for all future morato riums .Personally, I hope there is no need
for more than a f ew of them.
Mike A. Hokkanen

f Cuober ^tamp
I just finished reading Stan
Rakowsky 's letter in the Wednesday, October 29 issue of The
MAROON & GOLD and all I can
think is why did Stan run for
President of CGA or the ARM
if his policy, as he stated it, is
* "if you're not satisfied with how
things are on this campus , then
the thing for you to do is to
leave."
Does this mean we are not
to tr y to change an unsatisfac tory conditio n through due pro .
cess of law? Certainly Stan
doesn't mean this IBut if he does
then in my opinion the re is no
need for him on CGA or the ARM .
We don't need a rubber stamp
vetoing all requests for change .
I too am tro ubled about the future!
Keith Edwards

Although I don 't know Stan
Rakowsky personally , I feel I
have no choice but to questio n
his character , his values , and
his sanity . F or Mr. Rakowsky
has made a direct attack upon
me, and many of my friends who
feel as I do, by labeling me as
a traitor ; a publicity -seeking,
trou ble -making insurrectionist ;
and a C ommunist . (Really Mr .

before had so complete an attempt been made to mix theatri cal and actual events within the
framework of a single motion
picture .
The background is Chica go
in the summer of 1968 when the
eyes of the world were f ocuse d
on an unforgettable segment of
Amer ican history: the Demo*
crat lc Convention. Wexler mixed reality and theatricalit y to
tell his story , utilizin gactors and
non-professionals. Not one studi o
scene was used for the entire
film and the characters respond ed with an authenticit y which
could never have been ac hieved
on sound-stages .
PPALACHIAN GHETTO

Every line of dialo gue was recorded on the spot and no "dubbing" or "looping " was re quire d.
The title , "M edium Cool ,"
originated as a pun on Marshall
McLuhan 's "hotand cool media. "
The film encom passes more than
the events at the International
Aniphl-theatre and the demon ,
strat ions in Grant Park. Much of
it occurs in the Appalachian Ghet to of Chica go's upper north side ,
where hillbi lly people from Tennessee, Kentucky, and West Virginia have settled into a life of

It was a case of our comparing

The final word on your actions and the entire happening of
Oct. 15 was spoken by the staff
of the MAROON & GOL D: in
the issue of Oct. 22 they use the
terms "teach-in " and "morator ium*1 interchangeable. In other

poverty .

Wexler had filmed before in
that picture sque part of America and the lives of these almost ,
forgotten people made a strong
impression on him. When he read
"Division Street , U.S.A.," by
fellow Chica goan Studs Terkel ,
he 'was greatly moved by the plight
of those in the Appalachian
Ghetto and in 1967, he began to!
work on a screenplay about them. '

^J-orum

After President Lyndon B.
Johnson announced that he would
not run a gain and Chi ca go was
chosen by the Democratic Party
as the s.ite for its convention, it
became obvious that drama ,
excitement and history were certain to surround the event . Wexler proceeded to develop a script
which would Incorporate the pro ceedin gs.
From his own experience as a

cameraman , Wexler had learned

that it was possible to avoid becoming emotionally affected by
daily events , but he felt that the
temper of America toda y called
for more involvement man most
people permit .
GENUINE DRAMA
To express his ideas, he selected a television news cameraman as the protagonist in
"Medium Cool." The camera- i
man finds himself becoming a' I
part , of the events he is assigned
to cover an d learns to evaluate
them emotiona lly.

Robert Forster and Verna
Bloom appear in Par amount Pictures' MEDIUM COOL , directed
by Haskel Wexler .
Filming ¦ a major motion picture in a busy city is never an
eas y matter . Filming a major mo-

tion picture in a busy city with
rioters , police , and National
Guardsmen fightin g in the streets
is still harder. Thus the setting
of Wexler 's MEDIUM COOL ,
filmed during the 1968 Democratlc Convention.

1There is much to be gained ,

"Medium Cool ," which starts
this week at the Columbia the at re , stars R obert F orster , Verna . Bloom, P eter Bonerz and
Marian na Hill . The film was
written, directed and photo graph ed by Haskell Wexler who
prod uced the film with Tully
Fried man .

by filming In and among people
who feel things strongly, " says
Wexler . "If your film can reflect
areas of life where people feel
passion , then it will have genuine
drama. I sincerely believe we
have accomplished this in 'M edium Cool. '"

That is, Dear Colleag ue, the
major reason why I did not participate in the debates of Oct . IS.
It was not tha t I was intimidated
by the prosp ects of cros sing
swords with you or encounter ing your sophistic powers of
logic. I simply would not debate
Vietnam on Oct. 15 , the date
approved by the SDS for a na^
tional demons tration against our '
war effort . Nor will I let SDS
dictate that I must arg ue that
topic in the middle of November or Decemb er — days to which
THE GADF LY is alr eady looking
forward as being the next dates
of BJ oomsburg hap penings.
Another reason for my nonsarticlpation was Indic ated in
your letter: I would not have debated merel y one anti-war propo nent but the lot of you. It is an
old tactic of debaters to overwhelm adver saries thro ugh sheer
numbers and lung-power . I am
wise to that gambi t.

I am not about to belittle you
Mr. Rakowsk y, because I believe
that each man is entitled to his
own opinion . And I don't believe
that you have the right to belittle others because they have differin g opinions .
I don't consider myself a
tra itor . I consider myself a pat riotic American. I see that the
United States has made a mistake. But It takes a man to admit his mistakes . I don't believe
in the slogan "My countr y right
or wrong." I back my countr y
100 per cent when it is right , and
I back my country 100 per cent
if it attempts to cor rect its
wrongs.
I want nothing but the best for
my country , and 1 believe that I
am helping it become the best by
writing this reply.
Yours in Peace ,
Jim McGowan
