Well 6 e f On The Demon ScFnewln

On Monday this newspaper published an editorial which contained a qualified endorsement of the demonstrations of the last several days: demonstrations directed against the on-campus interviewing of CIA and Dow. These demonstrations were variously construed by the participants as being against Dow Chemical and the CIA, against their presence on campus, or against Dow and the CIA being granted the privilege of closed recruiting on campus. Most demonstrators had this understanding of the affair: demonstrate, make a showing, against Dow and the CIA, even though it won’t do any good. A few of the Administration Building campers Betty Doerr simply redognized that, the event was a festival. They resorted to a purely simbolic understanding of their presence under the Dome at the same time as the “ evil” recruiters. But the former attitudes clearly set the tone of the past three days. Irrelevancy? The most basic and obvious objection to the demonstration - Why Dow and the CIA? —was competently discussed yesterday in the Observer, in Steve Moriarty’s open letter. We wish to object further to the thoughtlessness and carelessness of the demonstration. It is clear for instance, few of the demonstrators knew what they were about Monday night was festive and the students sat listening to folk If they genuinely opposed the Dow recruiter’s presence, for example music. Beneath the dome Father Riehle brooded over the why was he not confronted hwen he addressed a meeting of the local demonstrators. chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers or when Riehle mourned the wasted manpower. He felt that the students he dined at the Moriss Inn?

He felt that the students should concentrate on was not a ferret-like creature, but a recent Notre Dame graduate. acquiring a liberal education to provide a basis for practical living. Moreover, he was not a management trainnee, but a chemical engineer. Riehle considered the demonstration irrelevant. The students stayed for mass, and then a number of them spent No one has really faced the basic question - “Why allow recruiters the night. The next morning they awoke to the sound of from industry or government to come here at all?” The university scrubwomen. Some of the students were hungry, and all of them certainly could restrict the use of its facilities. In light of its present were stiff. The slumber party was over. nature however, we ask if it is inappropriate that such recruiting go on. Tuesday night’s demonstration began at the movies, but the mood Probably not, considering that there are on campus two research wasless festive. The students began to feel that their demonstration institutes almost wholly supported by government grants and that was irrelevant. They had become a community of care. Everybody industry also indirectly supports a considerable portion of the research cared. You could tell they were Christians by their love. It was a on this campus. Further considering that many graduates go directly spiritual movement. The students were together. But they had come into work either for government or industry, probably not. together for political reasons. Loving one another was not enough. It is clear that if the demonstrators were asked if they believed The students began to look inside themselves for a reason to stay on. that their ideas of the university could prosper in such an atomsphere, The demonstrators begans to talk and then to rap. But it was time they would say no; but the depressing fact is that most of them are for mass again. This time it was different. The offertory praryer became a statement of individual purpose. And yet, the community simply not aware that government and industry are a distinct fact of feeling remained. After mass, the rap continued. The students began life at Notre Dame. to talk about tactics and found that they differed. Some felt that It is, however, doubtful that demonstrations can change this more direct confrontation was necessary. This minority decided to situation. Demostrations as Notre Dame seem doomed to remain sit directly in front of the placement office and force confrontation. pointless defiances of the structures of the university; this is simply The others would remain in support of the minority. because demonstrations staged here seem conceived completely outside On Wednesday, the CIA showed up to recruit. And the students of this university situation. They are being carried out as they are sat in front of the recruitment office. Riehle was bugged. He wanted to suspend the students so that they could be arrested. Rossie elsewhere, but the situation hereis relatively unique since this is a small, pointed out that Riehle could not suspend the students, because that non-urban, university, which at least makes some pretense of running was the job of the judicial board.

At the concluding stand opposed to the secrecy, extralegality and immorality of the CIA. mass, the remaining students sang “We have overcome,” rather then We must wonder, though, if the demonstrations were a success only in “We shall overcome.” But in terms of their original purpose, political action, the demonstrators were not successful. The only success was terms of yesterday and perhaps today. And we must also wonder if the one involving personal confrontation. The demonstrators had past three days will really change this university’s tomorrow. confronted the administration and the CIA. But the students had also confronted themselves and that confrontation was very real. In a sense, the demonstrators had fulfilled Riehle’s definition of the student. They had acquired a basis for practiceal action in the future. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1968 THE OBSERVER PAGE 5

Those point totals might be just a bit short of his fast early pace of last season, by the way, but you have to consider neither of his regular line mates, and Tom Williams, has gotten off to a particularly good start. Even so, the Esposito line is currently tied for team leadership in Mil goal production with 15-a figure matched by the veteran trio of Fred Stanfield, John Bucyk and John McKenzie. Esposito picked up a goal and an assist last Sunday night while elping lead the Bruins to a 6-3 conquest of the Oakland Seals-and X x * both points were typical of his style of play. The big center may not be a particularly fancy skater or a blazing shooter but he gets his job done extremely well with a kind of dogged determination that can drive rival goalies right up the wall. His goal was on an unassisted play in which he stole the puck just after a center ice faceoff and almost casually lobbed a high spot past the startled Seals’ goalie, Chris Worthy. His equally typical assist came on a Bobby Orr goal in which “Espo” and Ron Murphy harassed the Seals near the Oakland blue line until they gained possession and set up Orr for one of his blistering long shots. Esposito, who recently purchased a home in nearby Salem, is ready to put down roots with the Bruins and the NHL club is obviously delighted to have him do just that. They awarded him a rare three-year contract after his first season and might very well consider rewriting it if he can help make his “we’ll win it” prediction come true.
