He cited cases of "black folk who gave their lives, who perished" for the cause of equal rights. "If we fail to do something for them, we're not worthy of the sacrifice they made for us," Hooks said. "Black folk have paid a tremendous price in this country." Althugh he praised the Civil Rights movement of the 60s, Hooks said of the 70s: "This is the most conservative age ys Hooks we've seen" for quite a while. Whites, said Hooks, are "trying to roll the clock back" on the blacks. Hooks, however, said he is opposed to racial polarization. "If you go around hating folk, you won't destroy them - you'll kill yourself," he said. In a final statement which was, like many of his others, followed by enthus- iastic applause, the orator stated, "We talk about building a better black community . . . we will never build it unless we start giving of our womanhood the respect it deserves." greek week FCC SING tues. march 21 ,r /_ rb..~ 8-1 theatr 1' I f Begin, Carter talk as fighting goes on Vietnam teach-in: No paidA 60s nos By MARTY LEVINE A singer's calm protest songs fought the noise of a restless crowd at Schorling Auditorium last night. After a few minutes, he picked up his guitar, left the stage, and this week's Vietnam teach-in got underway. History professor Marilyn Young stressed that the current teach-in, held this week to com- memorate the 13th anniversary of the first teach-in, was "not an exercise in nostalgia, nor a glorification of the 60s". Young takes strong exception to those who feel any "mythology" has grown up around Vietnam. "We are being asked to forget and misremem- ber," she said. People today, Young contended, are trying to "re-write the war so we can do it again." "THE AMERICAN gover- nment lost in Vietnam," she-aad- ded, "but the people of America and the people of Vietnam won." Abqal Ahmed, of Washington's Institute of Policy Studies, spoke at last night's teach-in and at the first teach-in. Ahmed stressed the importance of being con- scious of history. "What we are doing tonight and what we will be doing tomorrow - it ain't so little," he said. "It might take a lifetime to show any result, but heck, our children and our grandchildren will know we did something." AHMED AGREES with Young: "That wasn't our war, it was their (the government's) war. The enemy (the American government) was bombing ta gia tri Hanoi. It was a victory for the American people and for the Vietnamese people. That the con- sequences of Vietnam." Long-time anti-war activist David Dellinger, a defendant in the Chicago Seven conspiracy trial, ended the evening with an emotional talk about his ex- periecnes. "ONE OF THE glories of the sixties," he said, "was that people learned to rely not on the experts but on themselves. But it wasn't all glamour. There was a tremendous sense of strength and solidarity." Dellinger has a great confiden- ce in the anti-war movement today - in fact, he sees it as being the healthiest ever. "Nothing has changed," he concluded. "The institutions (in., America) are still intact. Nobody was born too late. Maybe some of us were born too early." (Continued from Page 1) Israeli evacuation of Lebanon. THE CARTER administration believes the Israeli response was out of proportion to the provocation, and has helped push through a United Nations resolution calling on Israel to withdraw from southern Lebanon and authorizing a 4,000-man peacekeeping force for the area. Israel has long been skeptical of U.N. efforts to ease tensions in the Mid- dle East and Israeli government of- ficials have expressed doubt over the propriety of Sunday's U.N. Security Council action. In Jerusalem and at U.N. headquar- ters in New York, there were signs an Israeli withdrawal, followed by stationing of U.N. peacekeepers in the area, would not be quick. It might take "weeks or months," said one U.N. of- ficial. Israeli officials said Begin will outline his ideas for dealing with the problem in southern Lebanon during his meetings with Carter. Before his departure from Jerusalem on Saturday, he told reporters he had a formula in mind but gave no details. The U.S. side is described as anxious not to allow too much of Begin's visit, originally scheduled for last week, to be spent on a discussion of southern Lebanon. Among other things, the ad- ministration is hopeful the talks will narrow the obstacles blocking a resum- ption of Israeli-Egyptian peace negotiations. Carter has objected strongly to Begin's contention that U.N. Resolution 242, which calls for Israeli withdrawal from occupied territory, does not apply to the West Bank of the Jordan River. Unless Begin changes that view, Carter said recently, it would be "a very serious blow to the prospects of peace."

THE ACTION came on the last day that charges could be brought before the five-year statute of limitations ex- pired. Although ITT Chairman Harold Geneen had also been a prospective target in the department's perjury in- vestigation, he was not named in yesterday's action and the department said in a statement that "no other ac- tions ... are contemplated." All three men testified at hearings by the Senate subcommittee on multinational corporations that ITT had not acted in any substantial way to prevent the election of Marxist Salvador Allende as president of Chile in 1970. However, it was disclosed in late 1975 that both the CIA and ITT had funded Allende's election opponents, with ITT giving at least $350,000 to support Allende's opponents in the 1970 elec- tions. Allende was later killed in a Sep- tember 1973 coup. In New York, an ITT spokesman who asked not to be identified said the com- pany is confident that the two executives charged by the Justice Department will be cleared. I OL. 0.1..
