The policies carried out by the present Iranianregime differ
from the revolutionary aspirations of the peoples of Iran. The
policies include: the undemocratic approach to the question of
the Constitution, the elimination of the freedom of the press,
and the brutal suppression of the Kurdish people and the other
nationalities.
I state again, loudly and clearly, that only the people can and
will overcome oppression.
I ask all American people, freedom loving individuals and
organizations to condemn the harboring of not only the ex
shah, but also all the dictators and tyrants of the world who
would seek refuge from justice in the U.S.
Student ideas, hah!
' All knowing administrative fathers that watch over us, did
you hear the one about the student proposal that worked?

senseless
How quickly we forget.
Civil rights, freedom to be black, and respecting the dif
ference. And who was it that marched right next to their black
friends in the ’6os? The Jews.
Jews feel prejudice and discrimination just as blacks do.
Why, then, is one oppressed group spending so much time
and energy oppressing an already oppressed group the
Jews? .
If you don’t think that prejudice against Jews exists, it is
only because of ignorance.
It was ignorance that held back black progress.
It was ignorance that kept blacks from their civil rights.
It was ignorance that caused people to believe blacks were
not equals.
And it is ignorance that is causing people to believe that
Zionism is racism.

A cancerous nation
“Death to the shah,” “The shah must die.” The
placards rang out the political cries of the Iraniaj
pathizers on the campus mall last'year. The group inti
inform everyone of the grave travesties caused under
of Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi.
Now the Iranian “mentality” has seen fit to make
of 60 Americans in their embassy in Teheran, three]
kill them if America refuses to release the shah
vengeful hands. For that one life, for their on
mistake, innocent Americans may die.
Instead of trying to unite the ravaged nation,i
Khomeini has backed this outrageous display of ter j
demanded the Shah’s return.
The whole idea behind the Series of evei
Penn State, like many major universities in the country,
accommodates students from Iran studying abroad. What
effect has the kidnapping of Americans at the U.S. Em
bassy in Tehran had on these Iranian students, and how will
they be treated here now? - How have other University
students, staff and their families reacted to actions and
ultimatums from the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and his
militant following who have blatantly defied the long
standing principles of diplomatic immunity.
On Tuesday, Dec. 11, The Daily Collegian Op-tsd page will
examine the implications and emotions behind the crisis in
Iran. Please send your opinions on the events to the Daily
Collegian Editorial editor, 126 Carnegie Building,
University Park, Pa., by Friday, Dec. 7.
