              LOYOLA MAROON Vol. XLIV Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, November 10, 1967 No. 8 Altered communism evolves By MARY O'LOUGHLIN Hilsman notes change Roger Hilsman took a modified stand on U.S. foreign policy Monday night in Danna Center, saying. "I am neither a hawk nor a dove." The former aide to John F. Kennedy, now a professor at Columbia University, covered topics dealing with the Soviet Union and the cold war, emerging nations and nationalism, Communist China, and Vietnam. Hilsman, a leading authority on foreign affairs and international politics, was directly involved in the administrative decisions at the time of the Cuban missle crisis. "I think there has been a fundamental change in Communism since the Cuban missle crisis," Hilsman said. "The Soviets have become more sober and more responsible as U.S. policies have "combined firmness with flexibility."According to Hilsman, the cold war has been successful. "We have gone 30 years without a war," he said, "but the Communist world is no longer monolithic. We now have to adjust our policies ... to treat the different Communist nations effectively."Hilsman then turned to the problem of the nations just emerging from the many centuries of their peculiar village cultures. The Asians and people in Egypt and similar countries are not really Communists, Hilsman believes, but they exhibit "an extreme form of nationalism." Characteristic of this emerging nationalism is the search for an identity in the world. The Phillipines, India, Vietnam, and Indonesia all have what Hilsman calls an "identity crisis." "They want to control their own destinies," he said. They have a heritage of colonialism, he explained, which makes them want modernism in the sense that they want "all the things that make a nation strong and powerful." "They will modernize," HilsmanHilsman said, "with our help or over our dead bodies." "China holds a central strategic position," Hilsman said. Their 700 million people have never had "the historic experience of equality." They are ready for freedom, he said, but going against Secretary of State Dean Rusk's opinion, he believes that the Chinese will be "very, very cautious." Hilsman compared Mao Tse-Tung to Martin Luther. Just as Luther's "father-hatred" armed him to take on the Catholic Church, Hilsman says Mao's "father-hatred" has armed him to take on the whole Chinese family system, trying to bring about utter and complete turmoil. The United States needs a new policy regarding Communist China, Hilsman believes. "People who say everything will be all right if we will only recognize Communist China are quite wrong," he said. Hilsman believes that the U.S. should work toward reversing the policy of isolating Communist China and yet "meet and deter any Communist aggression." Concerning Vietnam, Hilsman said that the American people have deluded themselves. "It is much worse than they realize," he said. "I've just been in Vietnam, and it seems to me we're doing better there. The AmericanAmerican effort is better organized . . . this • is encouraging, but not enough . . . the Vietnamese just aren't doing their share." "I don't think there's any doubt that the U.S. can win militarily if they use their power," Hilsman said, "but what happens after we win?" Hilsman pointed out the problem that there would be no allegiance to the U.S. after a victory because the Vietnamese would not have won their own war. The U.S. would have the alternatives of either occupying Vietnam for two or three generations or withdrawing completely, and Hilsman believes neither is the solution to the war. Hilsman proposes that the U.S. take two main steps to end the war in Vietnam. "On sheer military grounds I would stop the bombing in the North," he said. "The damage has already been done, and it is costing us more than it is worth to continue the bombing." Hilsman's other proposal is that the U.S. start "turning back responsibility to the South Vietnamese." In this manner, the war, whether won or lost, would refelct more of what the people in Vietnam really want than if the Americans win their war for them.

The football game, which was held in Tad Gormley stadium in City Park, featured the presentation of the Loyola Homecoming queen and her court during half-time. The queen and her six maids will be presented again at the Homecoming Dance, Saturday night. The seven girls were chosen from three evening division and 12 day-student finalists.A second part of Homecoming will be held in mid-December to coincide with the traditional basketball game that has become a customary feature in past Loyola Homecoming celebrations. The division of the ceremonies was done in order to "include the traditional as well as the new," Roland J. Hymel, chairman of the Homecoming activities, said. Rules concerning use of Field House explained by Loyola business manager Thomas R. Preston By LOUIS LASSUS Simon and Garfunkel are one of the few recording groups who are allowed to appear in the Field House, said Thomas R. Preston, university business manager. The university does not allow "rock 'n roll groups" who play the type of music that "excites young people," and "causes rowdiness" in the audience, he said. The type of music Simon and Garfunkel play does not affect audiences in a violent way, as many popular rock 'n roll groups do, he added. Loyola has this policy because of past experience with rock 'n roll groups, Preston said. After such a performance, the young people in the audience are keyed up. Many unwind by committing vandalistic acts to residences and the universities in the area, he said. Ray Charles is an example of a performer who arouses audiences, said Preston. "I don't have anything against the man personally, but his type music excites people," he said. University functions take precedence over outside shows, said Preston. "At the beginning of the year, the university sets certain dates aside for university activities," he explained.Promoters who wish to rent the Field House must schedule their shows so that they do not conflict with university activities, said Preston. Even the New Orleans pro basketball team had to schedule their games so that they would not interfere with the university's schedule As a result, they must play ten or twelve home games elsewhere, he said. Preston said that there will not be (continued on page 3) (continued on page 4)
