Supreme Court
'Candy' Not Obscene
PITTSBURGH (A) Pennsylvania Su
preme Court•ruled yesterday that the novel
"Candy" is not obscene and okayed its sale.
The 4-2 decision struck down a Phila
delphia court order banning sale of the book
there.
Justice Samuel J. Roberts said in the
majority opinion that the Philadelphia court
"erroneously interpreted the standards for
determining obscenity set forth by the Su
preme Court of the United States . . ."
Not Approval
"Our decision in this case, however,"
Roberts wrote, "should not, in any manner,
be construed as an approval of Candy—in
deed some members of this court personally
find the book to be revolting and disgusting."
The novel tells ,about the sex• life of a
coed named Candy Christian; its 15 chapters
describe in detail her sexual adventures.
In a fiery dissent, Justice Michael A.
Musmanno said, "I disassociate myself, as far
as I can, intellectitally, jurisprudentially, and
philosophically, from the decision of this
court in this case."
'No Social Value' '
In another dis'sent, Chief Justice John C.
Bell Jr., said Candy "is a very obscene, dirty
sex book without a single redeeming feature
or the slightest. social value, and no matter
what legal test is applied it should be
banned."
Justice Benjamin It Jones went along

with the majority in approving sale of the
book, but in a separate opinion said he did
so "most reluctantly."
"Were it' not for the decisions of the
United States Supreme Court in this area
of the law—decisions which are binding upon
us—l would have no hesitation in determin
ing that Calidy is an obscene book," Jones
said.
Justice Herbert B. Cohen took no part
in the decision.
Roberts said in the majority, opinion that
the U. S. Supreme Court justices are divided
on what constitutes obscenity. But he said
most of the U.S. justices indicate that a book
"in the absence of pandering is entitled to
constitutional protection."
Justice Bell wrote: "In the light of recent
decisions' of the Supreme Court of the United
States, no one can be sure what is obscenity
. The Supreme Court cannot define ob
scenity in language which a majority of
judges or of;lawyers or of laymen can under
stand."
In his 14-page dissent, Musmanno said
the "Supreme Court of Pennsylvania had an
opportunity in this case• to unlimber some
heavy artillery in fighting for American
morality . The majority of this court re
tired from the field of battle without firing

From the Collegiate Press Service
WASHINGTON—Georgia Ave
nue is the main route from Wash
ington to Howard University,
It is a broad, straight road, well
paved• and well-maintained, but it is
bordered by the dingy, interminable
rows of two-bit ,business establish
ments that readily identify the area
as a black ghetto pool halls, bar
ber shops with their striped barber
poles askew, second-hand clothing
stores; bars with their neon window
signs flickering half-lighted, a food
market overflowing - the ground
floor of a turn-of-the-century brick
warehouse.
The sights to be seen along
Georgia Avenue help to explain why
Howard may be in for a "long, hot
fall." The message of the ghetto,
forcibly brought home to the coun
try at large this summer, is also
getting through to Howard. Unfor
tunately, Howard is ill-prepared to
receive it.
Among Negro colleges, Howard
has always held a special place. Al
though suffering from the paterna
lism and conservatism that is charac
teristic of Negro colleges generally,
Howard has had a good reputation
academically and has been known
as well as the place where Negro
leaders 't'he black bourgoisie"—
get their start.
In the broadest sense, it is the
question of what kind of leaders
Howard should be producing, that
lies behind the present unrest at
the school,
Lynda Blumenthal, a white in
structor at the school for the past
two years, says Howard has tra
ditionally tried to implant white
values in its students,
She explains that Howard has
tended to reinforce the "negative
identification" by students toward
their being black. "Now the students
are learning to be proud of being
black," she says. "They have confl.
dence in themselves. That's why
They're more critical of paterhalism
at Howard."
The issues of student power and
black power are not really separate
issues, according to Miss Blumen
thal. Talks with student leaders
confirm this judgment.
Ewart Brown, president of the
Student Assembly, and the leader
of the group of more than 150 stu
dents and faculty who walked out
during Howard President James
Nabrit's opening address last week,
wants Howard to create a black
leadership that• does not accept
white values.
"Black leadership must be de
veloped in the black universities,"
Brown said. "We need leaders who
can infiltrate the system and not be
Uncle Toms."
Brown and other student lead
ers are devoting most of their ef
forts now to winning student control
over "non-academic affairs," par
ticularly over disciplinary matters.
They are confident, "The stu
dent body this year has the deterini
nation to do things," . says Torn
Myles, head of the Student Rights
, :::%:,.;;;,....,;*:,'„?:. ::',:.:::,.
Organization. "We're more unified
than ever."
Myles, expects strong support
from the freshmen. "This year's
freslimen are more aware, more
militant," he explains. "They're the
'Birmingham babies;' they've grown
up with the movement."
According to Brown, Howard
President James Nahrit has indi
cated that concessions will be made
to the students. Greater student
control over disciplinary matters is
probably in the offering.
But the concessions may not be
enough to keep Howard from hav
ing a long, hot fall. The legacy of
bitterness from last spring's, con
flictg between students and the ad
ministratiOn will make a peaceful
resolution of present conflicts hard
to come by.
Throughout last year, protests
over matters affecting student rights
escalated on the campus. Matters
first came to a head, however, when r
draft director Gen. Lewis Hershey
arrived on campds to give a speech.
A group protesting the sending of
Negroes to Vietnam greeted him
with signs and chants. He left with
out delivering his talk.
Thotigh the group protesting
Hershey's visit was small, its num
bers grew when the • university
scheduled hearings for four students
charged with leading the Hershey
demonstration.
A group of students broke up
the hearing: They charged that the
administration had named one of
the four students, Robin Gregory,
because she had become a symbol
of black power on campus,
Miss Gregory, who was elected
homecoming queen lest cull, was at
the time part of a women's group
associated with the Black Power
Committee and the Student Non-
Violent Coordinating Cdmmittee
(SNCC).
Finally, in May, a one-day boy
cott was organized by a coalition
of student groups to dramatize six
student demands. One of these was
the demand that no one be disci
plined for ,pblitical activities on
campus.
As a result of the boycott Pres
ident Nabrif agreed to meet with
the leaders of the coalition. They
say he ' committed himself at the
time to foregoing any disciplinary
measures against political activists.
Nabrit - and an assistant dean who
attended the meeting, Carl Ander
son, deny it.
In any case, this past summer
14 students were expelled and five
faculty members notified that they
would not be rehired. The univer
sity took the action in mid-June,
without prior notice and without
hearings.
The faculty members and four
of the students took the case to
court. In the course of proceedings
it was revealed that dean Ander
son had prepared memoranda for
the dean of students, listing students
Who were most actively involved
in protests.
One of the listsi dated April 20,
listed one group of students under
the heading "Black Power" faction,

It also contained the suggestion
that SNCC and the COmnkunist
Party were behind the "demonstra
tions and other disruptiVe activi
ties."
' On appeal, the court ruled that
the students be reinstated pending
a hearing (two of the four have re
turned to Howard). It recommended
hearings for the faculty members.
but did not order them. The faculty
case is still in litigation.
Two of the faculty members
are teaching at other colleges this
fall. Two are awaiting the results
of the litigation. Nathan Hare, a
boxer who had 22 amateur and
two professional victories before he
gave up the sport in 1963, is in
training for another fight.
Hare, who took hiS Ph.D. in
sociology at the University of Chi
cago. is a short, compact man, wtih
a voice that is unexpectedly high
pitched and nasal. When he speaks
of his long-standing feud with the
Howard administration, his gaze is
intense and his tone bitter.
"I want to return to Howard,"
he says. have .contacts there,• and
They • have been intimidated."
Hare's ACLU lawyer asked
him to forego applying any extra
legal pressure to the university
while the faculty case is in court,
but Hare demurred.
"I could tear the place down,"
he says. "I have contacts here, and
I have support from the commu
nity."
He speaks of using demonstra
tions, and other tactics "more crip
pling and more anonymous" to get
the university to reinstate the dis
missed faculty 'members,
Hare would like to see Howard
become "a Center for black thinkers,
with a curriculum that emphasised
African culture, He sees it now as
an institution that "apes white aca
demic trivia," and rewards those
faculty members who exhibit the
appropriate docility.
If the Howard administration
does not meet student demands re
specting student .government in the
near future, the moderate 'student
leaders may wind up in open alli
ance with Hare. A long, hot fall at
Howard would then be assured.
"Students here are oppressed,"
says student leader Myles, "and op
pression breeds violence. When the
normal processes of adjusting-griev
ances break down, it opens the door
for violence."
That is the familiar lesson from
the ghetto. It may be a lesson that
Howard officialdom is about to learn
the hard way.

'learning, the report says. "Too often
we say come to our group to meet
people like yourself' when they
should be saying "come to the
Greek System to meet pebple both
like and unlike yourself. There
should be a chance to promote a
tolerance of out-grOups within a
fraternity."
The report states that the
:'Greek System provides a freshman
with security—this is good. How
ever, often Greek freshmen have a
tendency to become :too confident.
Complacency results and a tendency
not to realize problems objectively
prevails."
Fraternities, the l report con
tinues, continually ship older men
out of their houses. The 'causes lie
in inadequate housing for all fra
ternity members, interest in out-of
house activities, being tired of house
responsibility and structured sched
4:Ule of participation, • more self-cen
tered interest rather than group
centered, and freedom gained by
living off-campus, the report stated.
The report •suggests possible
solutions such as programming for
more mature activity' in, houses—
above sophomore activity, using
juniors and seniors Lin :prominent
positions, and upgrading sophomore
dictated activity to provide pro
grams of interest to seniors.
"Good Greeks are great—aver
age Greeks are no better than
average anything. They Are falling
far short of - their potentials" the
report continues. "Joe Average
Greek has more faith in what his
pin will do for him than what his
house will,"
•
Fraternities must program closer
to their ideas. They must do more
than build good executives 1 and
hostesses. Fraternities should take
time to evaluate each year What
they are really doing with men they
pledge. They must ask themselves,
"What do we really do for • our
freshmen, sophomores and Upper
classmen?"
The report feels there is a tre
mendous credibility, gap between
what houses are really doing and
what they tell the general public.
Yet, Greeks criticize the public for
their contempt.
Long-range planning commit
tees should be established to deter-
mine where a house is going, in
stead of functioning from crisis to
crisis.
The ISU system is at present
behind in programming pledge
education, according to t thei report.
Other schools have developed regu
lations concerning; pledge activity,
control of pledge skips through
registration at IFC offices, police
committees made up of fraternity
representatives for enforcing rules
and a permanent pledwa education
officer on administrative board.
