(FPS) At Chelsea High School in southeastern Michigan the student council recently signed a contract with a band to play at
their Christmas dance, The school principal, who had earlier said it was alright for
that band to play, later. decíded he didn't
want them to play aftet-al1l and forced’'thħe
student council to break the contract;
After exhausting all- the bureaucratic’ways
of trying to change this, the student council took the last action open. It called
for a sit-in. Two hundred twenty three students who sat in at the schoo1's office òn
the day announced by the students council
were. all immediately suspended.
The students' next move was, in this
situation, a strake of genius. The student
council prepared a public letter stating
the students' side of the story and sent it
to the parents of every suspended student.
The purpose of the letter was to calmly and
logically expose the stupid and authoritarian nature of the administration's position,
The administration said the band could nat

Speech after speech contained lines like,
"I moved here five years ago and the worst
thing I've found about this community is tħe
attitude of the school board," or "from all
the students I've talked to it's been a
piling on of aggravation after aggravation,"
or "I contend that the school system needs
a whole revamping right from the top to the
bottom." Many parents left the meeting
muttering "we'11 fight them in court."
The case of the Chelsea 223 is far from
over but a lot has been gained. The students learned that the only response to unjust authority must be for everyone to stand
together and defy it. By taking the initiative to explain the justice of their
position they have turned parents into allies. The students gave the community a
chance to see their administrators as the two
two-bit dictators they really are — and the
community didn't like it at all. The principal and the school board, who started out
so pompous, now look like fools.
A former high-ranking Nazi propagandist
is serving on the Republican National Committee and has been appointed by President
Nixon to the Small business Administration,
according to columnist Jack Anderson.
Joseph Pauco, who served Hitler as
editor-in-chief of the official Nazi newspaper in Slovakia during World War II,
came to the U.S. in 1950 and took over a
weekly newspaper, Slovak v Amerike", in
Middletown, Pa.
Pauco was made a member of the Repub-
lican National Committee as an advisor on
relations with the Slovak-American community, then was appointed by GOP Chairman
Sen. Robert Dole of Kansas as comptroller
of the committee ethnic council.
Three months ago Pauco and J.M. Kirschbaum, a Nazi living in Toronto who has
been accused of sending Slovakian Jews to
the gas chamber, held a meeting in Toronto
of the Slovak World Congress, an organization they had established, The meeting
was attended by various U.S. Senators, and
incredibly, by the offical of the Justice
Department responsible for keeping track
of ex-nazis, Assistant Attorney Generai
Robert Mardian, :
At the conference Mardian said, according to Anderson, that he "felt especiaily akin to you and your organiza- N
tion," and added, "It is a common heritage
that binds us together here today.'

resolutions states that 'the Conference was

A measure of the powerlessness of young
people îs the fact that this society provides no organization or mechanism which
young people can use to determine the common interests of the mass of yöuth and to
organize youth pressure on the seats of
power, Every ten years, however, there
comes an unavoidable tradition --— the White
House Conference on Youth: e
The 1971 White House Còónference on Youth
was planned with great care tó minimize the
effect of any criticism of present policies.
It was held 1800 miles from the White House
near Estes Park, Colorado, 7500 feet up in
the Rocky Mountains, at thè same time as the
spring anti-war mobilization, under two feet
of snow. After the conference, it took
months for any published account to appear.

Here 4s the Preamble written g0 the
conference by delegates to it: :
We are in the midst of a politicr1,
social and cultural revolution. Uncontrolled technology and the exploitation of people by people threaten to dehumanize our society. We must reaffirm the recognition of
Life as the Supreme Value which will not
bear manipulation for other ends.
The approach of the two-hundredth anniversary of the Revolution which gave birth
to the United States of America leads us
to reexamine the foundations of this country. We find that the high ideals upon
which this country was ostensibly founded
have never been a reality for all people's
from the beginning to the present day. The
Constitution itself was both racist and sexist in its conception. The greatest blemish on the history of the United States of
America is slavery and its evil legacy. The
annihilation of the Indians, genocide, exploitation of labor, and militaristic
expansion have been among the short-comings
which have undermined the ideals to which
the people of this country have aspired,
It is time now to finally affitm and
implement the rights articulated in the
Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Each individual must be given
the full rights of life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happinėss, the Bill of Rights
must be reinterpreted so as tò be meaningful to all persons in our society. In addition, tħe following rights are crucial:

tenet of this nation, that the government
is responsible to the people, in whome power
resides, and that the people are therefore
fully responsible for the policies and actions pursued in their name,
We, as have so many before us, dedicate
ourselves to struggle and sacrifice for the
realization of the ideals embodies in the
program we have set forth.
Out of the rage of iove for the unim; le-
mented principles we here assert, we chailenge the government and power structures to
respond swiftly, actively, and constructively to our proposals. We are motivated
not by hatred, but by disappointment for,
the unfulfilled potential of this Nation.
The fear of youth identifying with adults
and vice-versa, the fear of people identifying with themselves, the fear of people identifying with their race, the fear
of people identifying with a country -a11 create a climate of fear which permeates this natíon.
Tnternal divisiveness has contributed to
a loss of national purpose.
The recommendations which follow we sub-
mit to the people as a realistic, positive,
fundamental, minimal program for the redress
of such grievances and the regognítion of
these Rights. :
We are aware the "commissions, conferences" and "reports" have often been used as
a mechanism to divert the attention and energy of the people, in the guise of furthering communication", This. Conference
shall not be so used.
Youth has been seeking reform of political and social institutions. Evidently
these institutions are threatened by the
basic insecurity inherent in change. The
result has been rperession which has transformed our struggle for reform into a Struggle for survival.
We must recognize that change is not restricted to the realm of history, but is an
ongoing process, the central dynamic of life,
We recognize further that while youth is
often most receptive to change, they are not
alone in desiring it. We affirm our kinship
with persons of good will of all generations.
This affirmation stems from our appreciation
of the inđivisible nature of liberty.
We are aware of our responsibility to
fight for the rights of alli people. We
recognize that we in the United States Of
America have strayed from the fundamental

Nixon is not trying to wind the war down.
He is trying to win it by using technology
instead of massíve numbers of ground troops.
He's trying to win it with bombs. The
tonnage dropped so far during Nixon's administration has averaged close to 100,000
a month, compared to around 65,000 during
Johnson's. The bombs themselves are getting
bigger and bigger. Professor Bert Pfeiffer
of the University of Montana claims that a
bomb is now in use which is capable of destroying an area of 770 acres. He'says 'this
bomb is the closest thing to nuclear weapons
yet" but that its existence is not being
admitted by the Defense Department for fear
of "adverse public reaction. ' It íis used
mainly to start landslides and create
tons of explosives for every square mile

Kennedy High School is a controversial

changes in an attempt to make Kennedy a

"T do not wish to seem over-dramatic,

ten years left in which to subordinate their
ancient quarrels and launch a globai partnership to curb the arms race, to improve
the human environment, to defuse the popu-
lation explosion, and te supply the required momentum to the world's develop-
