Radically relevant
I wish to express my personal applause and admiration for
Ms. McClellan's educated and effective response. to Jeffrey
Imm's letter on radicals. Also, I would like to present a fewrel
evant points that Claudia McClellan did not approach or per
haps does not adhere to. Understand, please, that the views
presented in this letter are not comnion to the entire radical
and revolutionary population, but only to certain • modern
revolutionary groups and their adherents, who remain
discretely silent.
Most importantly, Mr. Imin does not understand that it is
not within the power of contemporary government of any type,
party, or inclination to implement the plans of revolution, to
listen to revolutions policies, and to change itself and society
in the way that revolution demands. This is simply not a
revolution of politics. Unlike our more conventional comrades
Letters policy
The Daily Collegian encourages comments on news
coverage, editorial policy and campus and off-campus
affairs. Letters should be typewritten, double spaced,
signed by no more than two persons and no longer than'3o
lines. Students' letters 'should include the name, term and
major of the writer.
Letters should be brought to the Collegian office, 126
Carnegie, in person so proper identification of the writer
can be made, although names will be withheld on request.
If letters are received by mail, the Collegian will contact
the signer for verification before publication. Letters
cannot be returned.

I try hard, really I do. In my campaign
I promised to lower unemployment, I
promised to lower federal spending, I
promised to revitalize this country's
sagging economy and. to give the nation
a new, bright future.
I could do all those things but the damn
(oops! pardon) Congress keeps taking
half measures and cutting back the legis
lation which is this country's only hope
for survival.
I mean, who the hell (sorry) do they
think they are, anyhow?
I had really big plans but somehow
they've gotten confused. My special

Letters t• the Editor
(socialists, Black Power, etc.) we, the modern revolutionaries
are not principally interested in a ,change of goyernment. A
quick view of history will show that government, whatever its
external form, remains the same a device by which certain
individuals gather influence and power.
The "good of the people" is definitely a secondary con:.
sideration. Government is necessary, for the comfort and
order that it brings. We should leave it alone, until it interferes
with the functions of society; and then, we should reprimand it
with all the power that society can bring to bear.
As you may have noted, society is the key word in the above
statements and society is the key factor in revolution.
Unless the minds of the people-at-large are opened, their
consciousness as a whole raised, their abilities, dreams,
ideals, and goals lifted, the rewards and potentials of
revolutionary ideas will never be known.
"Today's kooky notion is tomorrow's orthodoxy." Thank
you, Ms. McClellan.
There are many ways of speaking to society, Mr. Imm. This
letter is one. Posters and slogans are another. Individual
speaking and discussion still another. And, very definitely, so
are "bothersome" demonstrations or even violence. (For
these methods, by their power and disruption, communicate
their message far and wide) letters to politicians and "student
lobbies" ( With the exception perhaps of such groups as
NORML), while valuable within their province, have minimal
effect for Revolution. .
I propose to you, Mr. Imms of the world, that you do not
understand in any way the goals or techniques of revolution.
Look around you; see our incredible energy crisis, food
shortages, overpopulation, pollution, environmental
destruction, the threat of nuclear war, the degraded human
condition of three-quarters of the world ( including much of the
U.S. ), the apathy and boring, half-dead mentality and spirit of
people all around you ( especially PSU students). Then tell me,
with conviction, that great and immediate change is not
, something about La rhumba this or la
rhumba that.
My ambassador has a near terminal
case of foot-in-mouth, and m y little
daughter, bless her heart, wants to take
her school class on a junket to
Disneyland.
On top of all this, my press secretary
wants me to pay $6,000 in federal taxes
when I legally don't owe anything! Me
and my "Morality in government of
ficials spending" speech! Jesus! Six
thousand bucks! What does he think I
am, a millionaire?

Signed, Troubled in D.C.
Dear Troubled,
What you're experiencing is a com
mon ailment contracted frequently by
politicians who expect the world, but
only get the shaft. I call it "prospects
pox.'
It's not the Congress that's really
giving you a hard time, it's your an
tiquated notion that the Presidency is
some kind of one-man-band. .
It's unfortunate that you broadcast
this to your country's populace in such a
manner that they expect your God
fearing image to raise you to be a god
like administrator.
You are not a Lincoln, and some would
argue you aren't even a Ford, and you
certainly aren't the kind of politician
who's going to get everything you lust
after.
- Perhaps the legislature from which
you came is a pushover compared to the
big league you're in now. Perhaps you
thought that politicizing ended on
election day.
In any case, now's the time to settle
down and rid yourself of prospeCtsi pox
by developing better relations with the
Congress, and by asking it for advice,
instead of expecting it to rubber stamp
all your proposed policies. - ,

Nothing wrong with that, right, Anita?

vitally necessary , for the survival and continued growth of
culture and the world.
We quite seriously face, within our lifetime, cataclysm and
destruction right out of a sci-fi novel and you complain
about bothersome demonstrations.
. - Revolution is the most demanding, exciting, and impoilant
job that we face. We shall have to shoulder our responsibility,
face our fear; give up our comfortable blanket of apathy, and
work now! I hate to be a harbinger of doom ( though I only
report what many others and myself can clearly see), but if
we do not act quickly, our children may face a world in which
scavenging for survival is the highest good.
Fight in any way you know.
Hot item
While I have existed at the University Park for less than a
month, it has become quite apparent that the University
Concert Committee, (UCC) is a hot item when it comes to the
editorial page of The Daily Collegian. The article, "Booking
Hard for U.C.C." (June 22) is sheer fallacy to anyone who is at
all familiar with concert bookings.. Being a native of Allen
town, ( where's that?) I find the UCC's excuses rather weak.
In Allentown, a high school organization, The Allentown
Council of Youth ( ACY), has booked such no names as Blue
Oyster Cult, Kansas, Rush, Angel, Richie Blackmore's
Rainbow, Supertramp, Mott, Styx, Montrose, Budgie, Foghat
and Kiss, to name a few. The average attendance was about
3,000 and yet the ACY president has time and time again
stated how successful their adventures in the concert bookings
have been.,
Imagine that, the ACY is in the black with such massive
audiences of 3,000 and tickets selling for about five or six
dollars. It is almost inconceivable that our own tried and true

Another excuse is the expenses encountered by the booking
of the band ( i.e. dry ice and carnations.) This is a fine example
of the 100 per cent pure, genuine simulated, sugar-coati,
vitamin enriched bullshit that is being tossed around. Thatis ?
the equivalent of Blue Oyster Cult telling the ACY to buy them
a laser, light show or Richie Blackmore asking the ACY to 40S ,
hiS band a 50 foot computer-operated electronic rainbow. B,py
oh boy! If Z.Z. Top came to PSU, they could probably talk the
"UCC into buying them a new Texas-shaped stage complOe
with buffalo, long horn steer, rattlesnakes, etc. pr
Not every touring band is grossing the same as Pink FlOid tai
or the Who ($lOO,OOO-plus), therefore because of the :rio
stadium policy of the above, plus Led Zepplin and a very fpw
others that are in that price range, cannot be possible. i
However, there are many bands that will perform here for:4
reasonable fee. If the ACY can do it, I believe the UCC can;flo.l
it if they stop letting the harassment bother them and set out to "
do the job at hand. ,
