Sanlei White Robes, Cross burnings, torture and murder; ignorance developed to new heights; fascism in America — these and other descriptions are, in almost every mind, the conceptualizations that are created when one thinks of the Ku Klux Klan. Mere thoughts of the Klan are to the decent person like a nightmare drawn forth from the recesses of his mind and which fill us with feel- ings ofterror and abject disgust. That the Klan is still in existence, and in fact growing in strength in Canada, as well as the United States, in the North as well as the South, that it still flourishes, still terrorizes,‘ still brutaliZes and seeks to inflict its perverted will upon those whom it sees as its enemues (and.that list is a long one including ' Blacks, Jews, Catholics, Ibpublicans, etc.) and deprives them of their natural, or if you believe God—given, rights to "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness", is ’nothing short of criminal. There is not enough rope available in the still Free World to inflict the solution to the problem of the KKK that was in my mind the night those rascist bastards murdered four more victims in Greensboro, v NorthCarolina, a few weeks ago, but I wish there werell No matter how much pleasure may be had in seeing every last robed coward swinging gently in the breeze, as rational beings we must choose another path. First we must consider just what. causes human beings to act like savage beasts, surrendering their humanity in the night by the light of a flaming cross. Second, we must seek ways of vaccinating our society against the various dis— eases that groups such as the KKK, or the Nazi Party, or so-called "Marxist— Ieninists" (or Maoist— Stalinists if you will) , V have polluted our race (the one and only human race that is 1) with. Third, we must act as individuals, or groups, in our political, civic, religious, and other organizations, to see to it that in every situation the rights, the’basi‘c undeni— able human rights, of each and every limman being are. forever ensured. This last point must be stressed once again — eaCh of us must act; no one is spared the responsibility of action in the defense of (lug sacred Liberty, for should liberty die, so too OPEN READINGS ¢ Interested students or anyone else who knows how to spend a few hours productively, stay tuned.> open readings are still being held; last week the was held back in the interests of the Symposium.

INTRAMURALS MEN'S INTRAMURALS HOCKEY e It's astonishing how far this league has comegin three years. in 1977. this year it is down to seven teams. that Deacon club was given the axe. Last year its membership doubled. The league cOnsisted of four teams However , . The reason is I suspected that would happen because those organic smoking "Hippos" ~on the team could not.handle the rough and tough pace of the league. Also, league President Vince Mulligan got fed up with their feebleminded excuses for not attending their games. gFor the rest ofithe teams it looks like it's going to be a good year. ;_ Be watching in next week's paper for a brief-run year. , -\ down on the league this r_\f I l".‘,’ ) :1..\«1.. *./~. w- .L‘\‘ THE UPEI SUN, Thursday, November 15, 1979, page 12. will our humanity be buried with it. I am reminded now of the greatest prophet of our time, the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. , who'had a dream - a dream of a day when "all , God's childra‘l, black and white, rich and poor, Catholic and Protestant,- Jew and Gentile" would be- able to share in the blesSings of liberty and bathe in the clear baptiz— ing waters of peace. Dr. King's dream must be our dream, but not only that - it is up to us to make it into a reality. ' In response to the problems presented the beginning of the last par— agraph, there are no easy answers, but there are indeed answers. One of the things we must put aside is our dogmatic assumptions ' of any sort, political, philosophical or religious, ’ There must be no place for the fanatic - fundamentalist or idealogue — to become a parasite upon the mind of man. ,Chce free from dogmatic bondage, we must - we will '— beCome able to View things more clearly in the light of Reason. No one will be our enemy. for any reason because hostility, mistrUst and hate will-have been justifiably destroyed. Once this most difficult first step has been accom- plished, then we must move W {1" . ON T THE UNIVERSITY" RIGHT on to the second diffiCult step, mat is the ' "vaCcination" of humanity " so that the ills which once ‘ plagued it may never return again. We cannot act here by laws against 'dogmatism, or then, like some ofrour Red "friends" (right Albania?) , we will begin to see things that are freedom incarnate, and within the full rights of individuals as being"anti— reason", as they ,(the Reds) claim things to be "anti- revolutionary". But rather the price is mudq greater than a few laws; _ the price is eternal vigilence and education. But more than that, it is an~ honestcommiunent by each one of us to treat everyge as an equal, subject to I the same Rule of Law, and entitled to the same rights as ourselves.
