EDITOR'S NOTE: Under
Stokely Carmichael, the Stu-
dent Nonviolent Coordinating
Committee has done a drama-
tic about face since the days
when it helped thousands of
Northern white students to
fight for civil rights in the
South. Last week, Carmichael
stumped Northern cities and
found , receptive audiences in
Negro districts., Here's a com-
prehensive report on his mes-
sage as developed on the tour
and previously.
By AUSTIN SCOTT
NEW YORK ()-The applause
t within the Harlem church was
frequent, almost deafening. Even
from the street, through heavy
wooden doors closed to keep out
whites, cries of "that's right," and
"preach, brother," could be heard.
But many of the remarks tum-
bling rapidly from the lips ofthe
. slender young Negro behind the
pulpit microphone were sharply
at odds with the religious setting.
"This country is moving to de-
stroy black people," he shouted
to waves of applause. "We cannot
afford to be part of the American
system. We have to destroy West-
ern civilization. Integration is just
a trick bag. Nothing counts but
power. We have to hook up with
the people of the third world."

his listeners also included a great;
deal of love-love of black people
for themselves, their families, their
communities, their culture.
But despite his statement in an
interview July 6 that black power
does not mean antiwhite power,
love was clearly reserved for non-
whites.
"We got to start loving our-
selves because we are black," he
said. "We don't have to lose our
blackness to become equal with
white savages." His cheering aud-
ience rocked the wooden floor with
stamping feet.

Committee, the handsome young
Carmichael found a receptive aud-
ience for "black power," his bat-
tlecry for Negro militance and
self-determination.
He said shortly after he was
elected in June that civil rights
movements "weren't even talking
to black people in the ghettoes but
were in fact gearing their' pro-
grams to what white liberals
thought should 'be done.
"For once," he said, "we've got-
ten enough strength to talk to our
black people who need to be talked
to. Everybody in the country talks
about them. No one talks to
them."

Zlupfing is to drinking what
smacking one's lips is to
eating.
It's the staccato buzz you
make when draining the last few
deliciously tangy drops of
Sprite from the bottle with a
straw.

But. If zlupfing Sprite
is absolutely essential to your
enjoyment; if a good healthy
zlupf is your idea of heaven,
well...all right.
But have a heart. With a
drink as noisy as Sprite, a
little zlupf goes a long, long
way.

He's Tryingt
That's what he is trying to do.{
His Harlem audience happened
to be a fund-raising rally. It
might as well have been the cheer-
ing crowd in Jersey City, N.J., the
night before, or the standing-room
only crowd in a stuffy, second-
floor room in Newark, or the thou-
sand Negroes who blocked a Phil-
adelphia street.
Trinidad-born, but raised in
Harlem and the Bronx, Carmichael
is one of the new SNCC leaders
whose roots are in the valleys of
the big cities, not the dusty vil-
lages of the rural South.
Not All
While his radical statements
catch the headlines, they are by
no means all that Carmichael is
trying to say to "black people"-
he shuns the word "Negro," using
It as a term of derision.
