VOL l - No. 22 BOSTON, MASS. lacks make steady gains; SK will act on 13 demands . V YETER LANCE R Northeastern's Black Community won a quiet victory Tuesday when President Knowles accepted all 13 of their demands for increased Black student enrollment, scholarships wd curricula re-evaluation. "The university is in sympathy w the objective implicit in your ith m emorandum," Knowles said of the list of demands received Friday. He emphasized the importance of "insuring full and fair treat ment for members of the black student community at Northeastern so that their status shall be the same as that of white students." Knowles acceptence of the d• mands came on the heels of his announcement Friday that the University will more than double its financial aid to black students during the next aca· demic year. About $175,000 in aid will be added to the $125,000 now provided blacks in graduate undergraduat., part and fulltlme programs. The formal list of demands wv · ratified by more than 200 black students at .a meting in the ballroom Friday and presented to Knowles by William L. Hazlewood, 71 LA, Delano B.

"THROUGH self-discipline comes the greatest happiness." Buckley explores our role, Diust 'Inoderate' stance BY MARTIN BEISER William F. Buckley Jr., the chan1pion of right-wing polysyllabism, entertained, lectured and generally fascinated an overflow crowd in Altunni Auditorium Sunday night. Speaking on "The Role of the Student in Today's World," Buckley's theme was that while "the primary purpose of the student is intellectual, individuals of both the Left and the Right agree that formal education is not enough." He emphasized the vital necessity for student involvement in politics on both an active and an intellectual basis. The audience, a receptive, conservative body, by and large, cheered and applauded their . hero frequently during his address. Probably the most enthusiastic arousal of the evening was generated by former Stu· dent Council President Roy Wheelock's announcement that the ABC network has chosen Buckley to be commentator at this summer's political conventions. Returning to his theme of student involvement, Buckley adapt- Abernathy speaks at NU By BOB MATORIN Managing Editor "Time is not running out, but rather time has already run out,., warned Rev. Ralph David Abernathy at a $100 a plate dinner held at Northeastern, Thursday. Abernathy, successor to Martin Luther King as head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, addressed over 200 people at the Speare Hall dinner held in connection with the Poor People's March on Washington. "It is a sad but true fact," said Abernathy speaking of the death of Dr. King, "that they killed the '~PICTURE yourself in a boat ''IT'S a still-life water color of dreamer in Memphis, Tennessee. on a river •••" Lennona now-late afternoon •••"-Paul But they cannot kill the dream."

It is an ancient and basic rule of human society that no one should starve when there is plenty. "It is suicidal for any society to develop a people who do not feel part of that society. They will eventually rise up and destroy that society and themselves with it, for they have nothing to lose. The bill for generations of responsibility and neglect is now being pre&~nted for payment. The bill is going to be collected willingly or unwillingly. "We are not talking about a few job training programs," he continued. "We are talking about decent jobs for all who need them. We are not talking about a little more (Continued on Page 5) ed Harry Truman's dictum that "if you can't stand the heat, you should get out of the kitchen.'' He claimed that "in today's world we have no morally acceptable alternative to living in the heat." Morally unacceptable to Buckley is lack of political involvement. "How" he asked "can the Columbia student not b~ involved with politics? How can the individual living behind the Iron Curtain ignore politics? . . . Why should free men content themselves with only the mundane a.ffairs of their families? "Accept passively the strictures of your texts and you will soon find that ideas which you think and debate about abstractly are no longer abstract but rather concrete reality." Buckley cited a number of the responsibilities of the American student. As regards their instructors, students owe their teachers respect for their knowledge, but also owe them a skepticism in the classroom for their ideological pretenses. Further, students should "medi· tate on the fact of being Ameriican." In the search for an education, students, he said, are often cast into the opinion that national backgrounds mean nothing. But being an American is unique and the student should study its history and institutions. Buckley also said that the student should ' 1 insist that reason be re-introduced into all discussion---which has been the principle contribution of conser· vatism/' The final responsibility of the student, he stated, is to "moderate not only their political appetites but also their appetites for sex, booze and drugs. Through selfdiscipline comes the greatest happiness." �P ize 1960 Film Sunday The cultural Activities- Committee will present its nextto last feature of its International Fihn Festival Sunday.

Martin Luther King physically, his body has been buried. IS dead, and Its temporary resting place is a simple crypt at Southview, a cemetery once used to bury black slaves. But what he devoted his life to, and gave up his life for, cannot be put to rest with days or weeks of mourning; nor can it be put to rest with a chorus of praises to his courageous leader ship and greatness of spirit, and raising rne1norial buildings or scholarship funds in his name.
