Lom “Paine y saws Tbe wintertime soldiers as the opposite of ‘‘sunshine patriots,” those who will mouth the words of freedom and devotion to country when such rhetoric is not likely to be personally costly. Unfortunately, most Memorial Day celebrations this year will be in the hands of today’s sunshine patriots; those who will wave the fac and talk about love of country while — sacrificing nothing. If George Washington’s army had been made up of those who hid behind the flag rather than those who laid their lives personally on the line for the principles of that flag, we would all be speaking with a British accent today. And I cannot help wondering now the rhetori¢ of today’s sunshine patriots would change if the draft age were raised considerably. It is so burned their draft cards, the sunshine patriots of America pushed through an anti-draft card burning bill. Yet America has still not produced an _ anti-lynching bill. Every traditional Memorial Day celebration should be haunted by the recognition that America officially has more respect for a piece of cardboard than for human life. President Nixon has announced the formation of a blue ribbon panel of prestigious individuals to investigate recent killings on -ollege campuses. More important than investigation is a comment to the eradication of the conditions which cause student prot ~' in the first place. And one of those conditions is the continuing racism whieh produces an investigation only when white students are killed. After the slaughter of students .in Orangeburg, South Carolina, there was no national concern for investigation.

MARR Penn House Director Picks Up the Gun Keith Miller, the red- neck psuedo,hippie, who makes $12,00 a year by misusing the core of our Black Gold,the welfare mothers, picked up the gun on some brother when they entered the Penn House.

This peckerwood, faggot and faggots like him have to be treated like mad dogs, and removed from the Black Community by whatever means necessary. during war, they can function there all the time. And this viewpoint, women occupy- ing a secondary place in society, is shown to be so fallacious as we always knew it was. “Everything women do is viewed as secondary in capitalist society. Evenhav- ing a baby is secondary because men can’t do it. “But in a socialist society the labor force needs everybody, and therefore women are not looked on as secondary citizens.’ Kathleen and Eldridge, who gave the revolution a baby boy, Maceo, last July, are now expecting a second child, accord- ing to the Post rerorter. ALGIERS (LNS), . Kathleen Cleaver, Com- munications Secretary of the Black Panther Party, is living here in exile wit h her husband Eldridge. A reporter from the Women’s Page of the Washington Post recently interviewed her. The reporter asked Kathleen what was a woman’s role in the revolution, probably hoping to get a recipe for revolutionary apple pie. Kath- leen replied: “No one ever asks what a man’s place n the Revolution is, nN wartime conditions, women do the jobs of men. But when the war is over, women are expected to return to their secondary Positions. ‘If women can function inmen’s roles CYN Sister Turner who has lived in the Black community of Lawrence since 1945, well understands the political misuse of Black People.

We must acquire land and resources, and develop institutions in order to gain control over the destiny of our lives and enhance the :lignity and respect of all Black peopfe. around Watts' motion there was an amendment to the motion. This amendment was that the Black Caucus, the fund and reconcilliation committee, world service committee and the program council meet to determine how much should and can be appropriated to minority communities and to formulate the adminis-— trative arrangements. These groups in turn would bring back these arrangements to be voted on by the conference. The only thing that was acceptable to the Black Caucus was the amount to be appropriated. This amount was 6% of the conference's total budget, $54,000: $50,00 from the World Service Committee and $50,000 from the program cou- : ncil.
