Forum examines election issues
mm
By CAROLYN ESTEY
Doug McComb spoke on
"Choices Facing the Young
Voter in the Coming Election"
at last Tuesday's forum. He
said that we are not going to
face much of a choice in this
presidential election.
We are now concerned more
with complex issues than with
the particular person we will
have as our president for the
nexit four years.
A difficult time lies ahead,
said Doug. What do we want
of our nation? Do we want a
fountain of hope? Is America
by nature a violent society?
People came to America to
build, but their dreams sadly,
were mostly self-cestered. Man

3. Cool. 4. C'mon.
My oxygen tanks have red
and green running lights.
A thermostat—keeps
the suit an even 72°.

batteries when your legs
get tired.

Living Insurance from Equitable.
I like to feel secure It can give you a lifetime of
wherever I am. security. Protection for your
family when you're young, and
when you retire, an income that
lasts as long as you do.
Now if I only knew
how to swim.

Doug McComb
is basically an egocentric being
and the problem is that we
don't realize just how egocentric
he is, said Doug.
By nature we seek personal
security, but we must find it
for all man. We really don't
understand our basic needs at
the present.
Our nation believes in freedom
under law, yet sometimes
our citizens have to fight for
their freedom. One example
is the labor movement of thirty
years ago, and the steel
strike of 1937, one of the
bloodiest riats in our history.
Now black men are desperately
fighting for real freedom.
Leisure time presents a big
problem now, said Doug. The
main problem here is the ability
to reach out and become
involved with others. We think
that one day we will be able
to communicate by the mass
media.
The poor spend their leisure
time in want and misery, while
the rich spend it in idleness
and abundance. Factory workers
work hard eight hours a
day, and go out to the local
bar for the evening.
What will happen when men
work only four hours a day?
How will we develop our
society so that we understand
each other better? We keep
building commercial complexes
without any consideration
for the people who will man
them. No one goes to the local
store where they know the
proprietor anymore. They treat
themselves like numbers, and
don't even know the people on
their own block.
A mother living in a tenstory
building cannot watch
her children properly and "lias
fear for their safety if she lets
them go out to play. Our governmental
programof urban
renewal has failed."^
Doug stated that bureacracy
cannot possibly handle the
problem with its impersonal
approach. We need people
really involved with the problems
of the ghettoes, for instance.
Programs should concentrate
on other things besides
housing and jobs. We have to
teach people to get more out
of life than just their pay-"
check.
i
Responsible people in the
civil rights movement are asking
us if we want to live in
a society wrought with fear or
if we'want to reach out for
greater human understanding.
Martin Luther King said, "I
have a dre&m." But dreams are
not made true overnight, said
Doug.
People working for better
community development are
the only ones who can help.
The question, Doug concluded,
is whether we want to retreat
into arsenals or whether we
tare about more than just physical
survival.
