'.1...... The Michigan Daily-Friday, January 25, 1980-Page 3 LARGE AUDIENCE HEARS ACTIVIST Gregory says public manipulated C INEMAII Presents THEI WILD BUNCH r' a (Sam Peckinpah, 1969) W By MITCH CANTOR " "It's just a crazy game," repeated activist Dick Gregory for about the 10th time yesterday afternoon. The 48-year-old comedian and author told the packed audience of more than 350 at Washtenaw Community College, that they are being manipulated by the wealthy and powerful in this country. For two-and-one-half hours, Gregory told the lively crowd of mostly students *hat they have been propagandized, swindled, and lied to by the powerful and upper class strata of this country. "THEY DON'T CARE about you. Somewhere you have to start caring for yourself," Gregory said. The first 30 minutes of Gregory's ap- pearance was more or less a string of political jokes directed at the problems in today's society. For instance, he called Pope John Paul's visit to the U.S. ast year the most important event of he 1970s for blacks. "He was the first white man in 20 years who went to Harlem after dark. Of course he went through it at 90 miles per hour," Gregory jested. THE AUTHOR also made fun of President Carter's participation in a 10,000-meter marathon last year that he quit because of exhaustion. "I can see why he doesn't like the Olympics." He said the leader's physical weakness made the country .look bad. "I wouldn't have been surprised had Jamaica at- tacked us," he said. After making light of several other current world situations, including the hostages in Iran, Gregory turned to a more serious and pessimistic attack of the current power structure in the coun- try and what he called oppression of the average person. "You really think he (Carter) can make the Russians move their tr opq from Afghanistan? I mean he can't even keep the oil companies from rip- ping us oft," Gregory said. His tone became morose. "Never before in this country have you approached the in- sanity that you approach in the next three weeks." THROUGHOUT THE speech Gregory made about a dozen, allegations of manipulation or lying by' -government officials and corporate bigwigs. For instance, he claimed that U.S. of- ficials could: have secretly brought the shah of Iran into the country. He said that if U.S. iintelligence could keep an aide of Ayatollah Khomeini's in the famous Mayo Clinic without publicity, they could surely have kept the shah's presence under wraps. i i Escape from the mid-winter blues with this typically out- rageous Peckinpah shoot-em-up.
