Ali Calls for' Total Separation of Races'
Former Heavyweight King Rejects Integration;
Calls Racial Issue 'America's Worst Problem'
By STEVE SOLOMON
Collegian Staff Writer
. Muhammad Ali said last night that the only
peaceful - solution to the racial crisis in America is
"total separation of the races."
, The former ,World Boxing Association
heavyweight champion and the second keynote
speaker for Colloquy, labeled racism as America's
worst problem, "worse, much worse, than the con
flict in Asia." He said black and white in this country
will never find peace together.
"By nature, black Americans and white
Americans will never get along." Ali said. "They're
opposites, like yes and no. If it's your opposite, it's
your opposition then it's your opponent.
'Just Nature'
"This is not race hatred, it's just nature." Ali
said.
Dressed in a black suit and looking fit enough to
step into a ring, the 27-year-old Ali rejected in
tegration.
"The Negro slaves are marching all over
America thinking they are trying for equality with
whites," Ali said, "when in reality they are seeking
equality with the whites' dogs."
Ali labeled the integrationists as
"Frankensteins," stomping his feet on the stage and
leveling his hands out in front of him at the same
time, in imitation of the literary creation of Mary
Shelley.
Like a Bull
Ali compared them, in their fight for integration,
to a bull running down a track head-on into a train.
"You might say the bull is brave," Ali said with
a sarcastic smile.
• Known as Cassius Clay before his conversion to
the Black Muslim religion. Ail defined for the crowd
of approximately 4000 the difference between a
"Negro" and a "black".

Lewis Speaks to SDS;
Presents Guideline List
By ALLAN YODER
Collegian Editorial Editor
In a.tense and openly hostile meeting yester
day, Vice. President for Student Affairs Charles
L. Lewis told a group of Students for a
Democratic Society supporters that students
"arc welcome to assemble on the Old Main
lawn," but that they must abide by certain
guidelines to "help prevent incidents of
violence or arrests."
The guidelines stated are: "The University
upholds the rights of freedom of assembly and
discussion as long as such programs do not in
terfere with the rights and freedoms of others,
or result in damage, destruction or violence.
"There are specific procedures to obtain
clearance for establishing banner displays, etc.
"The 'University reaffirms that destruction of
University property or alteration of grounds is
not permitted. Construction of temporary
structures without prior clearance is not per
mitted."
Avoid Violence
The guidelines continue with a statement urg
ing all students to avoid physical violence and
unruly assemblages.
After Lewis read the statement, Barry Stein,
a member of SDS, said, the guidelines
represented a list of demands which Lewis was
presenting to the students.
Stein also accused Administration officials,
through' Lewis, with refusung to protect stu
dents involved in fights and encouraging stu
dents, to start fights. Stein was referring to
Thursday's flag lowering incident, in which one
student was arrested and a number of fistfights
were started.
Lewis replied. "We don't want any violence,
and I do not accept your charges that our staff
encouraged violence. Some personally told me

wants to eat with whites and marry white women."
he said. "The black studies his own culture. marries
black women, and tries to make his own people clean
and respectable."
Ali said the Negro is still the siave of 200
years ago.
"He has to be re-brainwashed," he said. "He has
already been whitewashed."
Ali said separatism could be the only answer,
because blacks are still servants of a white economy.
"We are 22 million, a nation within a nation, and
we don't have two feet of land to call our own." he
said. "If we were your equal we would make our own
jobs, have our own restaurants.
"We wouldn't have to ride donkeys in the jet age
to get with you," he said sharply, referring to the
Poor People's Campaign last year in Washington.
Ali said the secret of black survival in America is
realizing where the "boobytraps" lie. He said he
knew "how far he could go" in dealing with whites.
"The trouble with many of our people is they
don't know where to go or how far to go," he said.
Then Ali seemed to hold some hope for racial
reconciliation.
"If all black people knew this you wouldn't have
no trouble. How can we integrate when we're not one,
a whole people? As soon as we're done cleaning up
ourselves, then we'll think about - integrating,"he
said.
Ali said the Negro needs a knowledge of his own
culture and history.
"Black people must be free mentally before they
are free physically," he said. "They must be taught
to know themselves before they can be free."
Pointing his finger at the crowd, Ali charged
white society with creating the racial problem. He
said the blacks brought to America as slaves were
robbed of their Islamic religion and respected only

that they acted to stop fights, not start them."
Stein said
Lewis' only reply was that the best way to
avoid violence is t o have the "students
withdraw and let the campus cool."
At that point, Stein walked out of 'the meet
ing, followed by three other SDS supporters. As
he left, Stein said. "If you • want further
discussion, come outside and talk to all of the
students."
Lewis told Stein he was not "willing to sub
ject" himself to the students outside. "We are
always ready to talk to students. Mr. Stein in
dicated his unwillingness to talk. We do not in
tend to have the campus torn up," Lewis said.
Another point raised at the meeting was
Stein's accusation that the University is aware
of and regulates the activities of police un
dercover men on campus.
"We do not specifically regulate the actions
of police on campus," Lewis said. "If we seek
their assistance, in the case of a theft for ex
ample, they come on campus and we have no
further control over them."
Undercover Agents
Lewis added. "If I were aware of undercover
agents, I would not object to their presence, but
neither would I seek their assistance."
Tom Richdale, former SDS chairman, asked
Lewis if the University would lower the flag in
commemoration of the death of a student at
Berkeley. "Our position," Lewis said, "is-that
the flag flies at full-staff and is lowered only
according to protocol. We do know that the flag
is lowered at the time of the death of a long
tenured faculty member."
In reference to Thursday's activities in front
of Old Main, Lewis said that "the majority of
students seemed to' want" the flag at full-staff.
"Our intention is to keep the flag at full-staff.
The students who lowered the flag yesterday
risked violence by lowering it," Lewis added.
Whitewashed Negro
Black Survival
By ROB McHUGH
Collegian Staff Writer
Students for a Democratic
Society yesterday presented a
five-point statement to the Ad
ministration, including a call
for the dropping of charges
sworn by Old Main against stu
dents for their part in lowering
the American flag Thursday.
Charles L. Lewis, vice presi
dent for student affairs, then
issued a reply to the students,
which SDS members termed,
"no answer at all."
SDS sponsored a third day of
rallying on Old Main lawn in
protest of the killing of a
bystander to a May 15
demonstration at the
University of California at
Berkeley. In recent days large
clouds of tear gas have been
dropped on the California cam
pus from a National Guard
helicopter.
Lock Breaking
Both Wednesday and
Thursday, students at Old
Main succeeded in breaking
locks and lowering t h e
American flag to half staff.
Thursday's action resulted in
one student being arrested and
charged with "malicious
mischief" to University pro
perty.
Several fistfights occured
both Wednesday and Thursday
but no violence took place
yesterday.
The statement. presented to
Lewis at 2 p.m., was signed by
four students: Scott Gibbs and
Jon Winelan d, SDS co
chairmen; Barry Stein, unsuc
cessful candidate for the Un
dergraduate Student Govern
ment presidency; and Malorie
Tolles (12th-general arts and
sciences-Wayne).
The statement presented to
Lewis called for:

for their ability to work and produce more slaves.
"They were robbed of their knowledge of self," Ali
said. "and this is what started the problem."
Ali said this problem was intensified by "white
power." Everything of authority and power in this
country, he said, was made white.
"Who ever heard of a white tornado?" Ali asked
mischievously, referring to a television commercial.
"Everybody knows tornadoes are black."
While extreme in his proposed solution to the
racial problem, Ali said he rejected the fighting and
looting as have plagued urban ghettoes in the last
five years.
" * Picking up a rifle is a joke." he said, reminding
his black brethren,, in the audience that white
America owned the forces of repression.
Although he made no mention of his boxing
career in his speech, Ali reaffirmed in an interview
yesterday that he is through with the sport and will
retire as the world's only undefeated black heavy
weight champion.
"I am through with boxing forever," Ali said.
"My, leader, Elijah Muhammed, says violence is
suicide. I want to be a 100 per cent follower of Elijah
Muham.med."
Ali was stripped of his heavyweight crown in this •
country in 1967 on grounds of his federal indictment Muhammad Au

could whip either man.

Apollo 10 Generator Fails;
Poses No Threat to Mission
SPACE CENTER, Houston (AP) A
short-circuit in a cooling pump system has
idled one of Apollo 10's electric generating
units but poses no threat to the moon
orbiting astronauts, officials said yesterday.
Air Force Col. Thomas P. Stafford and
Navy Cmdrs. John W. Young and'Eugene A.
Cernan were reported able to continue nor
mal operations on the moon-orbiting flight
with the spaceship's two remaining electric
units called fuel cells.
Stafford asked and got permission to
move the planned 40-minute television
show—Apollo 10's last , from around the
moon—from 7:09 p.m., EDT, to 12:45 a.m.,
EDT, today.
Spectacular Views
Stafford said the five-hour. 40-minute
delay would permit the astronauts to beam
to* earth more spectacular views of the
moon's austere landscape.

Throughout the day, Stein
charged that security officials
in the crowd Thursday had en
couraged conservative students
to reraise the flag. .
While standing in the crowd
with Pelton. Barnes said to
Pelton that enough boys were
there to take the flag "if the
word's given."
Barnes and Pelton were
standing near a group of stu
dents who opposed the lower
ing of the flag.
Several students came to
Barnes and asked when
something would be done about
the flag being down.
At one point, Barnes turned
to a student behind him and
asked, "Do you guys think you
can put that flag back up
here?" When asked the student
how many were in the group,
the student replied, "A lot, and
more coming."
Could Not Confirm
When asked later about the
conversation, Barnes said he
could not confirm any specific
statements. He added that
there are "many questions you
might ask to determine exactly
what's what in a crowd.
"If there's anything I can do
to prevent trouble or violence,
I'll do that," Barnes said.
"A lot of students came to
me and said 'what are we
going to do," are police com
ing,''who's making th e
decisions.' " he said.
Plans were made yesterday
for a pig roast on Old Main
lawn to last throughout last
night and today. According to
Wineland, a 75 pound pig was
purchased for 535.
Wineland said last night at
an SDS meeting that the roast
ing would take about 15 hours,
and the pig should be ready by
5 p.m. today. The purchase
will be financed through con
tributions.
Stein said yesterday the pig
roast had not been approved
by the Administration.
However, it was reported at
the SDS meeting that Dean of
Student Affairs Raymond 0.
Murphy had okayed the roast.
Murphy was , not available for
confirmation.
Yesterday's rally opened at
12:30 p.m. with a teach-in to
discuss recent events on cam
pus and at Berkeley.

morning, spent their final moon•orbiting
hours yesterday solving lunar navigation
mysteries that will help the Apollo 11 crew
land there in July. . .
Stafford also revealed for the first time
yesterday that he and his crewmates have
been coughing, sneezing and itching for
three days because their spacecraft at
mosphere was polluted by floating fibers of
glass wool insulation.
As for the fuel cell. officials said it can
be activated when needed, such as in major
rocket burns, but is kept idle to prevent
overheating.
Fuel cells produce electricity by com
bining hydrogen and oxygen. The resulting
controlled reaction gives off electricity and
water.
The crew performed land-mark tracking
photography with a special camera. Scien
tists hope the film,. when checked against
the time taken, will establish a reliable way
to navigate over the moon.

Following Not Leading
In a post-inaugural address, Thompson told
Congress, "Our constituents are getting im

following them (the constituents) instead of
leading them."
Thompson said the true purpose of USG is to
"act as final authority on all matters of an all-
University nature." He added, "Anything that

Curfew Continues
In Berkeley, Reagan reduced
a daytime loitering ban from
citywide to a 10-block area

agreement, subject to approval
by the faculty senate and the
Board of Higher Education,
could eventually make the stu
dent body more than half black

less than a quarter nonwhite.
Negotiators, including the
college's acting president,
Joseph J. Copeland, reached
the agreement at 3 a.m. It
would step up the number of
blacks and Puerto Ricans mit
ted in rapidly escalating stages
until they would make• up
about half the freshman class
of the free-tuition college in the
fall of 1970.
The black and Puerto Rican
students, who forced two-week
shutdown of the school on April
23rd, also won other major
goals—including establishment
of a separate school of urban
and third-world studies.

"The radicals looked upon
the project as a means of
