TO THEEDITOR:THE GIRLS OF CARNEGIE BASEMENT,

ONE OF THE NICER ON-CAMPUS dorms, havesome complaints which,although a bit frivolous,arevery justified.

The first complaint is that we still have not re-ceived a Vacuum cleaner or a television set. Now werealize thatour purpose at Davidson College is not tovacuum ourcarpets and watchTV, but we dopay thesame tuitionaseveryoneelse atDavidson College anddonotreapthesamebenefits.Is it thestudents'respon-sibility to supply these items,especially in an on-cam-pus dormitory?

Another complaint is that one room requested aladder for their loft and closet doors for their closets.One poorgirlhas tospend somuchtime trying tofigureout how to get into her loft, while at the same timekeeping moths, whichby the way are extraordinarilyattracted to the excessivebrightnessofherclothes,outofthe closet that she barely has time to study.

Anotherbigproblem withour dormis that wegetno announcements or news aboutcampus. Forexam-ple,anumber ofus went tovoteonWednesday only to

find that we couldn't.As an on-campus dorm,are weallowed toelectasenatortorepresentus,ordo we votewith anotherdorm?These are thekinds of things thatweneed determined.

Theserequestsdo notseemoutrageous,butwedonotknow whichchannelstowork through. All we real-ly want is to feel that we are partof theDavidsoncam-pus, not juststuck in limbo betweenonand offcampushousing. Where do we turnnow?

clear to thecollege community thatIhavenothing todowithBargmann,nor withhiscandidacy forPresident.Iwasanunwilling andunknowingvictimofaplot todis-credit Bargmann, but (in my opinion, anyway)Iwasthe onesuffering the greaterdiscredit.

Thewhole thing was mildly amusing, as longas noone se-riously associates libertarianism with Mr.Bargmann'sbrand ofconservatism.

The Student Conduct CouncilDavidson CollegeDavidson, North Carolina . s

To the members of the Student Conduct Counc iI:

The past few terms have been bad ones for the Honor Code and the Code ofResponsibility.

Not only has there been an inordinate number.of violations, but there has alsobeen serious questioning of how fairly punishments have been applied.

-We feel one way to begin solving these two problems Is to open the recordof Honor Coda and Code of Responsibility cases.

Of course the names of accused students should be kept secret, but thenumber of cases heard each term, the types and severity of the violations, thenumber of convictions, the harshness of the punishments, and the names of thestudents and administrators who handled the cases ought to be made public onaregular basis.

- . ' ..We believe that making the community aware of how the honor system functions

will lead to two Improvements In the way the system works. First, students willbecome less inclined to violate the Codes. Once they read that their peers aretried arid punished for violations, they will be nore conscious that'the same,standards apply to them. The Honor Code and Code of Responsibility will seemlesB like rarefied, idealistic principles and more like the serious regulationsthat they are.

■■

" .. -. ■ ■■ . ".." ■.■ ■:

Second, the Dean of Students and Honor Council will he less likely to handdown punishments that are unfair or inconsistent with other punishments. Once theirdecisions are open to public scrutiny,. tliry will la fnrrec to Justify t.. r.'iecoununirv an;' decisions tnat ncm Jmf tfcwa just.

Student Solicitor Bill Purcell de-clined to comment on Pat's statement.He said,"Thereare alotof thingsIwishwe couldexplain, but we can't."

Dean Terry commented,"PatSheridan's case was handled adminis-" tratively and ifhe has chosen to com-ment publiclyIwillrespond.

Mr.Bolding said, "Last yearroomswapping got out of hand. . . . Com-plaints from students were rampant.One wholefraternity switchedat lunch-time."Hedeclined toname the fraterni-ty.

Under the present system randomnumbers aredrawn from ajarbyallstu-dentsinorder ofseniority. Anystudentswho were forced offcampus draw first,then rising seniors, etc. The studentwith the lowest number chooses hisroom first. The more desirable roomsnaturally go first. Roommates use theirlower number tochoose.

but it does not 'beat the system' — itmerely cheats other students who be-lieve in and follow Davidson's uniqueandinvaluable code ofhonor."

Mr. Bolding said this week,"Wetried to give flexibility in good faith,"but too many people were "cheatingothers by swapping rooms." Anychange wouldprobablymean lessflexi-bility,he said.

SGA Vice President Chip Hurleysaid the RHC will be meeting in themiddle of October to discuss possiblechanges. TheRHC ismade upof repre-sentatives from each dorm and ischairedby the SGAvicepresident. Chipsaid the "main focus will be on roomswapping," but thecouncil willconsid-er any ideas on improving the system."Bill [Bolding] willdo anything. .. ifwe can devise a better way," he said.

TheCollegeofWilliam andMary,uses a lottery system similar toDavid-son's, but they eliminate the roomswapping problem by not allowingroom changes until four weeks into theterm. "This pretty much takes care ofit," saidhousing office secretary KathyClark. Lottery numbersare assignedbycomputer.

TheUniversity of thSouth uses afairly personalized system according toDean of Women Mary Sue Cushman.Theyusea combinationofseniorityandacademic standing to determinepriorityin selecting rooms. "We pretty muchtalk to everyone to avoid swaps anddodges. . . .It shows up when the stu-dent arrives to switch rooms. We tellhimno,"she said.

Presently, one way to get aroundthe system isby going through the selec-tion process withsomeone withagoodnumber, and then switching rooms inSeptember. For instance,a sophomorecould find a senior who has a lowernumber than his intended roommate,and 'borrow' this seniornumber bygo-ing through room selection with him.Bothstudentswould thenswitchroomsin September to be with their intendedroommates.

Mr. Bolding said inWildcat Dens,a 1981 housing office publication"There is nosystem of lottery whichis

failsafe from the unfair manipulationsof those students who want to 'beat thesystem.' Roommate pairs may switchand swap inorder to get thebest lotterynumbers and then switch roommates inthe fall when they arrive on campus.Thismaybeeffective forsomestudents

. byMark Elmore '82Ina week withonly onegame, theDavidson soc-

cer team lost toBelmont Abbey 1-0 in the last 7 se-conds, i

On their final offensive surge, Belmont Abbeyshot and hit a Davidson defender and the ball rolledover the cndlinecausing acornerkick.

Thekick sailed over Davidson's fullback on thenearpost andhookedinto thegoal untouchedfora last-second score. "We were just unlucky," admitted Se-nior Co-Captain AlexMcCallie,"for we played themequal inthesecondhalfandtheirgoal wasn'treally theresult of superior play." In fact, Davidson was onlyoutshot 19 to 17,and actually hadbetter opportunitieswhen they did fire ongoal.

Coach Slagle stated that "we have continuallycome out slow in the beginningof games. Thisgame,we failed to openup lateron like we have inthepast."As aresult, play was sloppy and concentrated on oneside of the field.

Davidson played much better the second half;they bUilt offense slowly and worked the ball up thefield with fallbacks. When they stopped trying give-and-go passes, they put together consecutive play,built momentum anddominated.

ivrCallieeasedthelossby saying,'it deflatedourego and showed us we really have to work to win."Well, the Cats willcertainly have to work Saturday asthey faceWashington &Lee at home.

Thegameshouldbe interesting.Last yearatLex-ington they virtually refused Davidson use of then-training room before the game, and the match turnedintoan angrybattleinthecoldrain.Davidsonlost2-0andhas not forgotten.

TheCouncil finds major deterioration inparts of the country's infrastructure —that is, vital services such as clean wa-ter, reliable transportation, efficientports, and competent waste disposal,which are indispensable underpinningsfor an industrial : ystem. The reportfinds— asany traveleronUnited Statesrailroads knows -r— mat "the mainte-nanceofpublic facilitiesessential tona-tional economic renewal has been de-ferred."

Simultaneously, the means ofproduction of United States industryhavebeendeteriorating.

Production incompetence, nowen-demic, isspreading fast, notonly inthewell-publicized case of automobilefirms but also in the following indus-tries: steel, machine tools, radio andtelevision manufacturing, railroadequipment, precisionoptics, finecame-ras., men's shoes, flatware, hi-fi elec-tronics, etc.,etc.,etc. " "

TPX Y I977, FOR EVERY $100OF NEW|-£ (producer's) fixed capital form-jL3 ation, the United Statesapplied$46 to themilitary economy. InJapan,the ration was $3.70 for the military.Theconcentration ofJapan's capital onproductive economic growth goes far toexplain the current successofthatcoun-try'sindustry, whereproductivity grew6.2percent in 1980. By contrast, withthe United States' aging machinerystock, the average output perperson inmanufacturing industry decreased 0.5percent in1980.

The United States has "achieved"itspresent state of industrial deteriora-tion by assigning to the military eco-nomy large quantities of machinery,toolsiengineers, energy, rawmaterials,

skilled labor, and managers — resour-ces identified everywhere as the "fixedand working capital" that is vital forproduction.

SINCE A.MODERN MILITARY BUD-get isused to purchase such re-sources, it is,effectively, a capi-

This can occur only if the president moves for-wardwiththeboldnesshehassofar shown tothecoun-try and the world.

Of course, wemustmaintain, as thepresident in-sists, a level and quality ofnational security that is afull match for its economic strength. But the militaryestablishmentmustaccept thereality that it, too, mustshare the budget reductions that are inevitable if thepresident'sprogram is tobe accomplished.

We havealso acted decisively topickand chooseamong the literally thousandsof federal aid programsto scrap those not worth saving/and to improve thoseofclear benefit tothe Americanpeople.

We have insisted that responsible fiscal policyrequires that taxescanbe reducedonly whencounter-productive federal spendingis alsoreduced sharply.

We have moved rigorously to eliminate costlyregulations that have crippled the free enterprise eco-nomy by making it difficult — ifnot impossible, in

It is easy to see the dramatic alterationofcoursethat the president and Congress have made when welookahead to1984. Ifwehadfollowed thepath set forAmerica by former president Jimmy Carter, thegovernment wouldhave collected$915 billionin taxesin1984, and spent $889billion.

UndertheleadershipofPres'Reagan and withthesupport of the Congress, the federal government willcollect $770billionand spend$760 billion.

FINE FILMS HAS COME UP WITHsomething of a curiosity thisweek. The Quiet One was

made in 1948 froma fine screenplayby James Ageeandwasoneofthe firstAmerican films to address seriouslythe problems of delinquency and thedebilitating effectofinner-city lifeonethnic minorities.

Put another way, it's about theinevitable slideofone Donald,(anas-tonishing performance by DonaldThompson)ablackkid inHarlem,in-to corruption and youthful crime be-fore his rescue by a benignly omnis-cient psychiatrist. The Quiet One ofthe title is ofcourse Donald himselfwho retreats into a highly personalworld whendown at street-level. Al-though this suggests a treatment ofstreet-life firmly rooted in the innerworld of afully-drawn character (ad-mirably helpedby Agee'spenetratingcommentary) the approbation whichthis feature has drawn fromcriticsofthe orthodoxly Marxist mould proba-bly means thatpersonality anditscon-cernsaregradually extinguished infa-vourofa more class-oriented viewofdelinquency, in which base is exam-inedat the expenseofsuperstructure.

But thisstory isno fairytale;ifs sculptedinfleshandbloodand yearsof work.Nor is thestory forgettable to us Davidson stu-dents who cram for examseach term inE.H.LittleLibrary— theman'sgrand-estmemorial edifice.Would youlike tohear the old rags to riches story, onceagain?Well, itall startedona farmnearLongCreek...

'MrLittle entered the world wear-

ing nothing, as we all do, on a farm,about 15miles southofDavidsonwhenCharlotte's population was only 7000.He wasthefifthoftwelvechildren,bornto George Washington andEllaHowieLittle.Hesaidmatwhenhewas sixteen,"Davidson's the place whereIrode amule, taking my olderbrother Charlesto college.Mymother wantedheroldestto be a minister, andhemade it." (ForyearsRevdCharlesLittle waspastor ofCharlotte's Sharon PresbyterianChurch.)

Mr Little never attended collegehimself,but left home soon after Cha-rles did to work with J.S. Withers, aCharlotte grocer and official cottonweigherforMecklenburgCounty,earn-ing room, board, and $10 per month."WhenIcame along, times werehard,andIhadneither theinclinationnor thetools to go tocollege. At sixteen,Ileftthat mule andwent to town."

"Iwas determined tomake good,"said Mr Littleofhis early attitudes, "Ialways believed in work and that youcoulddo whatever youweredeterminedtodo.Iliked to takeoh tough jobs."

In1902,Clarence"Booster"Kues-ter,headofthe ChamberofCommerce,recommendedhim to theColgateCom-pany for a salesposition. MrLittle be-gan selling Octagon soap through theCarolinas fromthebackofabuggy.By1906 his sales record was so good thathe wasnamed districtmanager for Col-gate inMemphis,Tennessee.

Soon after Mr Little's move toMemphis, the heavy orchestral swellsenter ourmusical, ashebegan tocoax ayoung aristocratic beauty named Su-zanne into his arms. The young ladywas the daughter of the Judge and Mre

Finally, after nearly four years ofillness, Mr Little became well andvowed tolive to be 100,because "it'sanice round figure." >

In1919he joinedtheB.J.Johnsonsoap Company, thenmarketing Palmo-Hve soap. In two years he brought theterritory west ofDenver to the highestper capita soapsales inthe country. Forthis achievement he was named assist-ant sales manager and moved to NewYork.

Mr Little's next big opportunitycame in the late 1920's when he wasasked to manage the company's Euro-pean operations from their beginnings.Mr Little went toEurope on Europeanterms. He gave foreign executives toppositions. Instead of continuing thewidely accepted practice of translatingAmerican advertisements into the na-tivelanguage, hehadmarketing tailoredto local custom and idioms. By 1959,European operations accountedforoverhalfofColgate-Palmolive's totalsales.

In1938,whenColgateandPalmo-livemerged, MrLittlewaselectedpres-ident and chiefexecutive officerof theCompany. At that time, worldwidesales were $100 million and theprofits$782,000 per year. When MrLittle re-tired in I960, sales had risen to $600million andprofits to $25 million,andhispersonalsalary wasamong thehigh-estin the world."My work seemsmorelike agame to me thananything.Isup-pose that's why therehas beenso littlewear and tear on me personally.IlikesellingandIlikecompetition," hesaid.

So that's the end of our tale. Ex-cept for the "setting up the kin-folks" part. He gave Davidson

over $2 million through the years.Countlessmillions went toother institu-tions as well, but he gave more toDa-vidson than toany placeelse.Why? Dr

Chalmers Davidson remembers thatMr

Littlealways said"Davidson ismy col-lege."MrLittleexplained"Theyneededit.Ihad it, soIgave it to them. I'vetaken care of my own pretty well.There's nousehangingon to it."

When MrLittle gave $600,000 toQueensCollege tohelpsolvedormitorysecurity problems, thegirls gave himalock, mounted on a plaque withanin-scription thatread"Fromthe700girlsatQueens, whose doors are never lockedtoE.H.Little."

#ne day in 1910, NT Littlewent to see a Dr Mitchellabouta gloomycoughhehad

MrLittle'sspirits were crushed,ashe toldMissTrezevantinhisdrearyletters. In one letter he hinted that hewishedshe could join forThanksgiv-ing dinner; against her family'swishes she made the train trip toDenver. Despite doctors' protests hemetherat thestation.Theyhadbreak-fast, went to thepark to talk,and weremarried ata friend'shouse mat after-noon.

or in small apartments. Except formealtimes, they spent all their timeout on screened-in sleeping porchesboth summer and winter. "At lunchtime we would eat with the familyagain, and then go right back out tothe porch," he said. "It didn't makeanydifference whattheweathermightbe. In the wintertime we dressed infur-lined sleeping slippers, warmcaps,andheavy woolshirts. Atnight,we'd weigh ourselves down withblankets. Sometimes itgot as cold astwenty-five degrees below zero, butwe becameaccustomed to it."

Many Davidson students are ex-tensively involved indifferent facets ofthe church's activities. "We certainlyinvite students to plug in at any levelthey want to," Reverend Stith ex-plained.

World peace and hunger are two issues withwhichSummers isparticularlyconcerned.Hehopes he"can encourage students to thinkseriously about theseproblemsand develop sensitivity" to suchissuesas thearras race and over-consumption. He stresses the im-portance of Davidson students' awareness of world-wide problems because Davidson graduates "go allover."

Davidson'snewest philosopherJoeBeatty's been around

Af-ter one masters degree in literatureand.writing, Mr. Beatty began todevelopa serious interest inphiloso-phy, especially Greek, on which hebeganon asecondmasters.TheViet-nam War, however, interrupted hiseducation: as a conscientious objec-,tor, he fought against the war ratherthan init.Mr.Beatty felt the war was"politically and morally unjustifia-ble" and saw "hodifficulties in beingardently against it."

Hereturned to finish inphiloso-phy at Northwestern. Receiving aKent Fellowship to Williams, hetaught ethical,social, andGreekphil-osophy for eight years. In1978, Mr.Beatty was chosen to be aFellow at

daughter, Joe Beatty is patient, en-gaging, and happy. He talks at hisdesk,calmly andhonestly,abouther,andaboutalifededicatedtothe idealsofthe liberaleducation.

SchooledatLaSalle,JohnsHop-kins, Haverford, and Northwestern,Mr.Beatty went on to teach at Will-iams,Duke,andnowDavidson.Lib-eral arts schools have played amajorpart inhis life.Tohim,it isaperfectly

Society needsphilosophersInaTimemagazinearticle on the

National Humanities Center abouttwo years ago, Joe Beatty made thestatement that "Society needed phil-osophers." He defended that state-ment last week inhisoffice:"Philoso-phy gives people a chance to under-stand better some of the notions andconvictionsthatpropel their livesandtounderstandalso thedrivingconvic-tions of prejudice that they shouldabandon. Philosophy isan attempt toscrutinizethe notionsofa societythatmake its people who they are." Inaletter to a man who questioned Mr.Beatty's claim in the Time article,hereplied, using Plato's Apology, thatthe philosopher is like the horseflywho consistently awakens andarouses asluggish horse."Theexami-nation and critique ofclaims to truthand rightness is the business ofphil-osophy,"he wrote.

Inanincreasingly technical era,Mr. Beatty warns of the harm oftransferring the right to make soci-ety's decisions to technicians andtechnocrats. The importance, hesays, is not just on doing somethingefficiently andwell,butalsoonbeingable "to defendthe good ofdoing it."

A man's philosophy, likewise,can't be summed up in the ground-level beliefs that many people sharewithhim. Philosophers are, instead,interested in the arguments that de-fend those beliefs, to grasp fromthoseargumentsa knowledgeofsoci-ety'sconvictions and a freedomfromitsprejudices is theever-presenitcon-cernofJoeBeatty.

OSEPHSON PORTRAYED HIMSELF IN HIS ROLE ASfellow traveler as aman at the edgeof thecrowdmore thanat the front.Heinsisted that healways

made up hismind independent ofparty influence.Butthere ismore tobesaidon thisissue. True, Josephsonnever inclinedtowardmembership intheparty.Andashe emphasized time and again in later years, he fre-quently andopenly disagreed withparty policies con-cerningculturalmatters. Nevertheless, on mostmajorpoliticalissuesinthe1930s andafter,Josephsonprettymuch followedtheCommunist line.Likesomany fel-low travelershepragmatically fasteneduponthe Utopi-anpromises and immediate relevance ofcommunismwithout recognizingor admitting the gross vulgaritiesandhuman inequalitiesofcommunism inpractice.His- own idealismat times betrayed himandhiscritical fa-culties.

Josephson also later insistedmat hedidnotexpe-riencesomethingakin toasuddenreligiousconversiontocommunism, as so manyothersdid."Iwasnot,"hewrote,"one whoexperiencedareligious conversiontoMarxism and read Das Kapital as a breviary, butIfound Marx wonderfully timely and apposite in thosedays."On the surface,however, Josephson's transfor-mation fromDadaist toMarxistdidindeedseem torep-resent an incredible transformation from Dadaist toMarxistdidindeed seem torepresentanincrediblerev-ersalofattitudes, aremarkableabout-faceanalogous toa religious conversion. After seeing Josephson at a

age 22/ DAVIDSONIAN/Friday 2October 1981

Communist rally during the early 1930s, MurrajKempton remarked with astonishment: "There wasMatthew Josephson, the playboy of the revolution oithe wordinthetwenties...previously identifiedwith. . Secession, transition and Dada." Josephson '»

change of roles and attitudes, however, was not scmuchrevolutionaryasevolutionary,not somuchareli-gious conversion as a sequential intellectualprogres-sion.There was anunderlying unity ofvalues at workbehind such a spectacular transition in ideology.

In some respectsJosephson was attracted to com-munism for the same reasons he had earlier beenattracted to Dadaism. His basic intellectual out-

look:hadbeenshapedby the modernist literaryattitudehehadadopted as acollege student inGreenwich Vil-lage,an attitudethatmeantgreat esteem forthose writ-ers who were most revolutionary in their artistic ap-proach:Pound,Eliot,Joyce.Josephson latex found theDadaists appealing because they, too/ went to ex-tremes. Now he embraced the Communistposition atleast inpart because ofits radicalism.He Clearly pre-ferred it to thesocialismofNormanThomas,whichhederided as an "educationalorevolutionary socialism,devised by our granddaddies." The Communists, onthe other hand, did not compromise or temporize inpromoting revolutionary change. Andsuch.dynamismwas what the contemporary crisis demanded. As Jo-sephson exclaimed in1932,"Mydisgust, mypessim-ism.... leadsme to support, ifanything, those ex-tremists whodisturbourinertsociety alittle."Whetheras Dadaist or as fellow traveler, Matthew Josephsonwasbynature adisturberofthe peace,amancapableofgreat indignation and oriented toward group action."No Protestant liberalism for me," he told Cowley,"notin these times, anyway."

Inthissense Josephson fitsdiedescription thatT.B.Bottomore hasapplied to the fellow travelersinhisstudy Critics ofSociety.He points out that literary in-tellectualswereattracted toMarxismnotprimarilyas acomplex social theorybutmore asameansofcontinu-ing,"inanother fashion,thatalienationfromAmericansociety whichhadbegun toward the endof the nine-teenthcentury."During thetwentiesJosephsonwasal-ienated from the convention of genteel literature andthephilistinismofbourgeois life;inthe thirtieshe wasalienated from the callousness of Western captalism.AsDadist andas fellowtraveler Josephson wasboth adistinct individualandpartofagroup.Inbothroles hewas involved insociety yet also detached from it;hecherished his involvement andhis detachment. Thus,inbothDadaism andcommunismhe foundahaven, asenseofcommunityand involvement, thatservedasanantidote tothealienationhe felt.Hisattachment ineachinstance, therefore, wasrelativelysuperficial.Inneith-er case didhe develop athorough undertanding of thehistoricalor theoreticalbases of the movements. Nordid he ever give himself totally to them, as did hisfriend Louis Aragon. He was, in the literalsense ofthem, a fellow traveler, both as Dadaist and as Com-nunist.

The VotingRights Actca to follow thepatternofSouth Afri-ca andresort toviolence. Americare-sponded positively to the civil rightsnonviolent movement; South Africadidnot.

Thus, as the most important andinfluential response to this non-vio-lent movement, the Voting RightsAct is of great importance both toblacks and to America in general.Renewal of a strong Voting RightsAct is for blacks a reminder thatAmerica does respond to nonviolentprotest. At a pivotal time in the hiso-try of black / white relations in thiscountry, the U.S. Congress withtheleadership of President Johnson,affirmed thatsenseless violence isnotthe way to attain social progress inAmerica. Tofailtoaffirmthat impor-tant lesson, especially when blacksace ominous about the future pros-pectsof theNew Rightmovement, istoopenup the threatofhavingablackmovement conclude that, as inSouthAfrica,.non-violence has brought nosignificant progress. Only the mostradical KKK or Neo-Nazi groupswould support policies that wouldlead to an era of violent confronta-tion.

A strong Voting Rights Act is,finally,criticaltoAmericaasshecon-tinues to champion the principles ofdemocracy. Nogroup hasbeen morevictimizedby.theU.S.practice ofde-mocracy and federalism thanhas theblack race. Americanracismhaslongstood out as an "American dilemma"to quote Myrdal. The Voting RightsAct is clearly the most, importantmove that America has made to re-verse thispatternofoppression and toextend democratic principles to allher citizens, to fail to reaffirm thatcommitment is to reopen the woundof thisAmericandilemma to thecriti-caleyes of worldopinion.

John Eley is a junior politiclscience major form Ahoskie, NorthCarolina. He is studying as an ex-change student atHowardUniversitythisyear.

America notes that both movementsbegan witheffortsatcooperating withthe existinggovernment structures.Inthe U.S., this was marked by twostages: lobbying and litigation. Boththese stages werecarriedoutprimari-lyby theNAACP.Stage three devel-oped inSouth Africaand in the U.S.in1949 and 1957, respectively. Thiswasthestageofdirectnonviolent pro-test. For South Africa, this ended in1961and wasreplacedbypolitical vi-olence. Kelson Mandela, a civilrights leader of South Africa, sum-marized the situation thus: "Whensome of us discussed [our previoustactics] in May and June of 1961, itcould ot be denied that our policy toachieve a non-racial state hadachievednothing."

The black niovewmnt in theU.S.hasavoided awidespreadpolicyofpolitical violence asa means ofat-taining a recognition of inherentrights.ThesimilaritieswiththeSouthAfrican movement and the sporadicoutburstsduring thelate 1960's leavenodoubtthat this wouldhavebeen thenext stage in the struggle for humandignity. There is, however, a differ-ence betwen the U.S.and South Afri-ca to which we can attribute the fail-ureof theblackmovement in Ameri-

political experience, most blatantlyironic in their association with theU.S. politcal system and with theAmerican Creed. Ironies such asthese have conspired to give blacksthisnotionofbeing"subject to"ratherthan "participants in" the govern-ment.

TheVotingRights Actiscrucialtoblacks in that itrepresentsan oasisinthevastdesertofironiesandblatantinjustice that has marked the historyofblacksin this country.Itis the sin-gle most significant factor inalteringblack attitudes concerning their rela-tionship to theU.S.government.

TheVotingRights ActiscrucialtoAmerica inthatit wastheculmina-tion of fifty-five yeans of protractedstruggle for civil rights. The VotingRights Actbrought success totheciv-ilrights movement in its third stage:nonviolentprotest, rather than itsyetto come fourth stage: political vio-lence. Scholars have noted an amaz-ing similarity inthecivilrightsmove-ments in South Africa and in theUnitedStates.Miltonp.Morrisinhis1975 work The Politics of Black

Pased overwhelmingly by Con-gress in 1965, the VotingRights Actmarked what most political analystsfeel was theendof a fifity-five yearstruggle forcivilrightsandthe begin-ning of a new and promising era ofblack politics in America. Thisneweraofblack politicshasnotdeliveredon thedreams that were so ferventlyfelt in 1965. Economically, blacksstill findthemselves on thefringesofAmerican society, witha median in-come only 60 percent the median in-come of whites and making up adis-proportionate one-third of allpeoplein Americaclassified below thepov-erty level.Socially,blacks find them-selvesina stateof floating,voluntarysegregation. Politically, blacks stillface alily-whiteU.S. Senate,a corpsof all-white lieutenant-governors,

: and a collectionof governors devoidofanyblack faces.

These political facts notwith-standiong, progress has been made.Before 1965, less than 100 blacksheld public office. Today, nearly5000 hold office. TheNational Con-ferenceofBlackMayorshasbeenor-ganized, and as pointed out by thisweekend's scheduled events on Ca-pitol Hill, the Congressional BlackCaucusis strong bothinnumbersandin qualityofpublic service. Theem-pirical evidence leaves no doubt inanyone's mind— thesinglemost sig-nificant factor inbringingabout thesechanges has been the Voting Rights

Placing empirical evidenceaside, however, one must note thatthe Voting Rights Act ismuch moreimportant toblacks than any of thesestaggering statisitcs might suggest.As Milton Morris has pointed out(1975); the black experience inU.S.history has led blacks to feel the-melves to be"subjectsofrather than"participants in" government.
