George Wallace, the demi-demagogue from Alabama, two-stepped through his first Northern tour of the current political season proclaiming: "Right now the only one who satisfies me is me." From Syracuse to Pittsburgh to Cleveland to Terre Haute last week, he called the roll of evils he is against: big government, Communism, crime, the Supreme Court, federal civil rights legislation and "intellectual morons," an apparently large group of citizens that seems to include professors, liberals, editors, beatniks, Vietniks, and anyone else who finds Wallace odious and is either a college graduate or would allow his daughter to marry...
...condition. SNCC lost most of its white money and support when it decided that the white community as a whole was its enemy -- politically, culturally, socially, and economically. In order to make up for the loss of white money and white support, SNCC launched a new appeal aimed at northern Negro college students...
SNCC's sensitivity to the developing Negro activism on Northern campuses showed a still present line of communication between SNCC and students.

SNCC's money is Northern, "guilty," white -- and decreasing. SNCC has not really done anything to change that. In the North and South, SNCC has perpetuated the myth that the left is the Negro's final resort. But it has gone left without really understanding what leftist politics in this country are all about. SNCC's recent declarations that Socialism is the Southern Negro's last hope is simply intellectual dishonesty...
...door-to-door campaign to raise money to send food to India is being organized by a graduate student and a Nieman fellow. Craig Eisendrath and Hiramay Karlekar are forming the League for Indian Famine Emergency (LIFE) which will send aid to three of India's drought ridden northern states through CARE's India Relief Fund. David Riesman '31, Henry Ford II Professor of Social Sciences, Bernard Malamud, Lecturer on the Freshman Seminar Program, and Kusin Wair, Indian author, have agreed to be sponsors...
