October. 10, 1969 A TIME FOR CONSCIENCE . . . existence. Encased by a civilization which asks for action and rem edy, the man of conscience is often encouraged to forget today and worry about tomorrow. Yet with 1 - nillions of humans waiting for tomorrow, one wonders if we ever stop to examine the events of the present. This week and in the coming months, people in America are be ing asked to reflect on today's problems, specifically Vietnam. Stu dents are to refrain from. going to class, so that they may evAn , ne Vietnam and its implications in our world. These days this fall are not "commie plots," or propaganda meetings. For those of us interested in our world it is a chance to search our minds concern ing the questions of war and peace which have confronted man kind for centuries. These days of thought in October, November and December will not alter Mr. Nixon's policy or halt the conflict in Vietnam; yet, the implications for our generation of Americans may be his toric in scope. Peace has been a stranger to man for centuries. Perhaps in these next three decades man can begin to find peace by evarnintrig the reasons for conflict between nations. This may usher onto the stage of civilization a new era based on conscience and reason not on emotionalism and power. The coming decades can be a time of reflection and re-think ing of our attitudes towards other nations and one another. It can be a time not of riots and turmoil, but of catharsis and perhaps peace. This is a time for all Americans to look into the mirror of their life and examine the image. One need not go in groups or cut classes or stop work, but one must wrestle with Himself. For from the reflections of thousands of men may come the solutions which lead to a world where peace is no longer man's stranger but a constant companion.

Following the panel, guest speaker Orlando, Taylor, former professor and ex-vice chancellor for black studies at Indiana University, spoke for two hours on his experiences with repres sion and ended with a warning of the "similarities of Penn State with the I.U. scene," which failed in its attempts to make the necessary changes to solve the problems of its black com munity. "The university", Taylor re flected, "'has a white mentality regarding education. Whites con trol all the positions like the board of trustees, chief adminis trative offices, with only a few exceptions. This is practiced sepas'ati.sm People are making decisions according to their own ThURS. SUN. 7 Mai 10 life styles, learning styles, as pirations from white view points." Brother Orlando, as he wishes to be called, also expressed his displeasure with the results of school desegregation which gives blacks "white-oriented educations that is irrelevant to them," and described it as a "cruel joke to play on black America." He went on to explain that, "in comparing the needs of black with those of white communi ties, the same needs and priori ties are not present." "To assume it for the black student is the most fblatent form of racism . . . it says in short, that either black folk want the same thing white folk want, or they should." Brother Orlando made the group cognizant to the fact that he is being indicted in Indiana for the alleged charge of riot and conspiracy to riot. In the "Manifesto on Repres sion" drawn up earlier' by the coalition groups, dissatisfaction with "acts of repression in State College and at Penn State" were initially expressed. Following the Teach-In, members of the newly formed coalition met to discuss and consolidate their ideas and plans to overcome their common concerns.
