State Rep. Joseph Forbes Calls for Legislative Action to Stop Anti-Semitic Activity on WSU Campus The South End paper de- rives its revenues partly from advertising and the bal- ance from the University. This points out that perhaps the Legislature is support- ing papers such as this which spew hatred throughout the community. It is time we in the Legislature took a stand on what is fair and what is right. "We should take some drastic action against this outrageous policy of foment- ing hate so that once again we can have a paper with a voice that shows all sides of the argument and not just Recommended by Physicians one." sr - FRIFI CONSULTATION The issue created by the SHIRLEY PERSIN anti-Jewish articles that ap- 11.grstereel ilientrefegor and peared in South End will be AuVANCE BUILDING NIS ORCHESTRA dealt with by the university's 23077 OINENNILD 'teem 740 . authorities at a meeting PHONE 557-1104 Monne F ., Al parkins scheduled for today by WSU is 'we. owwwww LI 5-1244 President George Gullen with members of the university's board of governors and the - Lei Is }inert/lip les - student publications board.

JOSEPH FORBES "The board has responsi• ',Hales to WSU students and faculty and to the citizens of Michigan, a n d it h a s evaded them so far." On Wednesday, the South End printed a letter to the editor signed by the "Wol- verine Student Bar Associa• lion Black Alliance Faction" which assailed "the entrench- ment of a Jewish power as a real social dynamic in the political and economic hege• mony of America—naturally as another vested interest in- herently obstructing the movement for true egalitar• ianism." The letter appeared over another apology by the South End editors "to those who were offended by the un- fortunate use of the Star of David and swastika Jan. 10 and 11. Due to the pressure applied to the editor by the draft board and the lack of night personnel caused by the budget cuts, this error was committed." The "Wolverine" letter stated that "Just as every white is NOT a honkie im- perialist. neither is every Jew a Zionist. But a fact which has to be reckoned with is that the Jewish people as a national ethnic minority in America are as rip-off minded as the hankie. and this every Negro, admittedly or not knows." The letter also suggested that the 1967 "ghetto upris- ing" was "as much a revolt against Jewish business in the ghetto . . as against WASP dominance." After assailing Israel's sale of polished diamonds to South Africa, the letter says that "the tremendous influence, 'nterest and control of the Jewish minority cannot be lightly put aside.
