Fleming: A second chance
WILL THE GAY LIBERATION FRONT (GLF) ever fade
away. Poor President Fleming has asked them twice
not to bother him with their request to hold a Midwest
conference on homosexuality at the University, and now
they're back again. This time though, their demand has
the added support of SGC.
After Gay Liberation was first refused University fa-
cilities in April, they - joined by several other student
groups and some faculty members - picketed the Presi-
dential tea where one Regent expressed sympathy for,
and agreement with the legitimacy of the group's re-
quest, but confided, "The time is bad - the state legis-
lature is fed up with all the BAM demands. Why don't
you just wait a while .."
FLEMING TOO expressed sympathy for GLF, but you
know how alumni would feel about all those homo-
sexuals running around - and all in one place. Fleming
responded to gay liberation's request, not directly, but
through a letter to Barbara Newell, acting vice president
for student affairs.
In the letter, Fleming stated that any conference on
homosexualiy should be "clearly educational in nature,"
and that the Midwest conference did not meet that cri-
teria. But, in their letter to Fleming, the group had specif-
ically stated that the Midwest conference would offer
workshops, public lectures and panel discussions by "such
outside specialists as jurists, doctors and religious lead-
ers," who would speak to the public-at-large on legal,
medical and religious aspects of homosexuality. Not only
would the conference be educational to homosexuals, but,
more importantly, it would also educate those who know
gay people through the one-sided stereotypes of books and
films as well as through their own deep personal preju-
AFTER REFUSING them University facilities, Fleming
threw gay liberation a crumb - he allowed them to
sponsor a dance at the Michigan Union. The dance is of a
purely social nature, and certainly not "educational" nor
under observation by professionals. As GLF member Gen-
ie Linzer says, "It's a dilema to me what's in Fleming's
head. You'd think he would prefer us holding a conference
than having us dance together."
Obviously then, Fleming is acting from a fear of out-
side legislative pressure. No doubt the fear is a valid one,
for many people are uptight about homosexuality. But the
University should not participate nor condone the repres-
sion of any group, especially one peacefully struggling
against prejudice and discrimination. By refusing gay
liberation the conference, Fleming is extending society's
repression and tacitly approving of it.
President Fleming obviously has no base for his argu-
ments.
If he has no firm grounds for objections, he should
stop being an obstacle and allow the GLF conference to
be held at the University.

By DONALD KUBIT
A Man Called Horse is an Indian
version of Tarzan. The tale is
supposedly history, but the pro-
ducer's attempt to humanize the
circumstances distorts the impact
of the film and leaves it with a
faint smell of hockey melodrama.
An English lord (Richard Hor-
ris) denounces his heritage and
travels to 1820 America to shoot
grouse. His experience is mainly a
distraction from elite boredom un-
til he is captured by Indians and
treated like an animal. Realizing
his only hope of escaping. from
this hell is to prove his valor, he
accustoms himself with the Indian
way of life.
His only communication with
the other members of the tribe
is through an interpretor, who he
discovers is a fellow prisoner that
speaks not only the native tongue,
but French and English as well;
verifying the theory that a tri-
langual Indian is a definite asset
to any Indian movie.
Our hero quickly adjusts to the
customs of his new family and
proves his worthiness by killing
two trespassing Shoshone-scalp-
ing one of them-and is accepted
into the clan. Although he is a
peace-loving man at heart, his
Noble Savage actions are not at-
tributed to madness, but rather
to his ulterior motive of some day
gaining his freedom.
He asks for the chief's sister's
hand in marriage and is granted
this privilege if he can pass the
final test of true warriors-the
Vow to the Sun, a ritual that is so
gruesome that it was later banned
by the federal government. I will
not spoil the fascination for those
with a masochistic mind by de-
scribing this ceremony, since it is
the big moment of the movie, but
believe me, it is torture you,
wouldn't even wish on your big-
gest enemies.
Of course, he suffers through it
and is offered the hand of the
young squaw. Considering the pain
he has endured, a more just re-
ward seems in order than some
evening bliss in a teepee with a
virgin.
A Shoshone attack is the cat-
alyst for the white man to be on
his way, as the plundering takes
his pregnant's wife's life, and al-
lows him to display his military
training by lining up two rows of
archers and having them fire con-
secutively until the charging vil-
Hans are repelled.
What we learn from this film
is that being an Indian is tough
business, it entails getting your
body scarred, and showing emotion
only when your wife, who you
can't communicate with anyway,
dies. If the idea behind this film
was to show man in another cul-
ture and how he can learn from
-that experience, the result is un-
satisfying. For the character ad-
mits that the tribe is Just as mean
as vicious as all the other people
in the world and as for taboos and
rituals, the Indians definitely have
the market on them.
Save for some beautiful photo-
graphy of unpolluted America and
the performance by Dame Judith
Anderson as an ancient squaw,
A Man Called Horse is nothing
more than Tarzan with a head-
dress. Had the hero stayed in his
new environment, I would be
kinder in my evaluation, but be-
cause he considers it better to re-
turn to his buckskins, I will con-
sider the movie, like his experi-
ence, a momentarykoccurrence. If
mediocre is a valid adjective for
the movie you see when there is
nothing else to do, A Man Called
Horse is a mediocre film.

Letters to the Editor
Heroes
To the Editor:
THIS LETTER is in response
to D a v e Chudwin's editorial
(Daily, June 2). Chudwin makes
reference to ex-ring champ Mu-
hammad Ali (Cassius Clay) being
"a member of a racist organiza-
tion which preaches hatred to-
ward whites."
Chudwin is obviously referring
to the Nation of Islam, which does
not preach "hatred t o w a r d s
whites." However, its leader, The
Honorable E l i j a h Muhammad,
points out that our white control-
led "system" or establishment is
infested with corruption and im-
-morality.
Chudwin in h i s article men-
tions a few of the symptoms of
this wicked system.
Surely no one can blame Mu-
hammad Ali and other black men
for joining hands so that they
may pull themselves free f r o m
this quagmire of inhumanity,
which is polluted with hatred.
The distorted image of "preach-
ing hate" is the result of the prop-
aganda of the white controlled
press. The same news media that
misled this nation by telling lies
about the situation in Viet Nam.
And the same news media that
profits by publicizing the private
antics of the athletes whom
Chudwin finds "difficult to look
up to."
I am certain Chudwin can find
only a few if any "heroes" in the
news racket.

BIKES AND SCOOTERS
The figures say 'killed in hostile action'
By ERIC SIEGEL{
EVERY SO OFTEN, the wire services
send a story to their member papers
listing the names and home cities of the
latest victims of a senseless, seemingly
interminable war.
And c it y editors in dozens of cities
across the country hand the list to re-
write men to check if anyone on the list
is a "local boy." If he is. the rewrite hack
makes a few phone calls to get some
background, and then writes up three
paragraphs that get buried under the
more important stories about new wea-
pons systems and corporate mergers,
FEW PEOPLE ARE ever made aware
of what the war involves in the simplest
of human terms. They read the numbers,
maybe even the names. But "Killed as a
result of hostile action" is a relatively in-
nocuous phrase and almost no one be-r
comes aware of the circumstances sur-
men for not humanizing the war might
be a little unfair. Few people have ever
been able to describe the grotesqueness
and savagery of war in a way that we
can all feel as well as understand. Then
again,few people have tried.
The media has been strikingly negli-
gent in trying to present the human di-
mensions of the war at all. A while back,
Life magazine published pictures of all
the men killed in a single week in.Viet-
nam. For that one week, in living rooms
and offices, the faces of the dead - and
in those- faces, the force and horror of
the war -- enveloped us.
THIS HAPPENED AGAIN a couple of
weeks ago when CBS news brought home -
the war's force and horror with a. docu-
mented report showing a South Vietna-
mese soldier murdering a Viet Cong pris-
oner. ,
Otherwise, the media has been desen-
sitizing. At the best, the dead have been
"local boys" worthy of a three paragraph
story; more often they are just statistics
and sometimes, not even that. The prose-
cution and convictions of clergymen and
others -who burn draft files is always a
front page item. But. when it comes to
delineating the moral repugnancy of the
war as it affects human beings - not
statistics - the reports are virtually non-
existent. Yet, columns and sometimes
whole pages are devoted to analysis of
Wall Street statistics. They tell us why
the stock market fell, and even how the
fall will affect Big Business.
Of course, the media isn't the only
thing to blame. The hacks are every-'
where. It- took most people in this coun-
try three or four years to learn to count
to a hundred. But the chief information
officer at the Pentagon uses that num-
ber and higher ones to report on the
number of people, US and Vietnamese,
killed in a week's time and the people
hardly bat an aye.
And don't forget the humanitarian
hacks who run the bureacuracy in Wash-
ington and who are so willing to "help"
the Sou
militarily
tape long
t h Vietnamese politically and
that won't even cut the red
enough to let a group of doc-
tors bring large numbers of napalmed
Vietnamese children to US hospitals for
treatment.
Rather remember the hard hats with
the brass buttons measure their gains in
terms of arms caches, and the political
hucksters who get on TV and talk about
saving lives, even as fresh bombs are
dropping and half a million troops are
marching.
The furor over the shooting of-students
at Kent State seems to have happened
years ago. Nevertheless, Attorney Gen-
eral Mitchell has ordered an impartial
investigation. This is the same man who
flew down to handle the investigation
at Jackson State, but wound up speak-
ing to a luncheon gathering of wealthy
Republican businessmen miles from the
black school.,
And, as with the war, we've forgotten
that the people killed are more than
statistics.
