Page 4 Commentary The Daily Collegian March 1,1979 The Dairy Collegian J. Carter & Co. President Jimmy Carter was not very happy to see Jack Danforth at a recent reception for a Thailand delegation. It wasn't that the President had anything personally against the junior Senator from Missouri. Rather it was that Danforth and others have skillfully managed to poke holes in yet another one of Carter's great achievements - normalized relations with the People' s Republic of China. Danforth made the CBS evening news recently with a statement he gave to the Senate Foreign Relations Com¬ mittee. The Missourian pointed out that the man with whom Carter had founded this new era of cooperation had "been purged twice and is 74-years-old. * Continuing his statement about China and its Vice Premier Teng Hsaio-Ping, Danforth said, "We have no reason to believe that Teng's comments will have any value five or 10 years from now. Certainly, we cannot rely A definite lack of longevity seems to be a major feature of Carter's great achievements The Camp David Summit is a case in point. The pomp and circumstance which surrounded the summit won Carter the cover of every newspaper and news magazine Yet the world is still waiting for that much promised peace Carter does deserve credit for cracking open the door for peace in the Middle East; but then, so does Richard Nixon Carter does deserve credit for normalized relations with China; but again, so does Richard Nixon. Carter has yet to achieve a victory that is his and his alone. And he has yet to achieve a victory that is complete. Furthermore, success is going to become much harder to achieve as the presidential election year rolls closer. Yes, Jimmy Carter isn't very happy with Danforth and company. It's easy to understand why. And it's easy to understand why the public isn't very hapW with Carter and cc Dear Collegian, I've received word that there are currently plans brewing to merge the La Voz De Aztlan newspaper with The Dairy Collegian. I consider this ill- conceived attempt an affront to the whole Chicano community both on and opf campus, as well as to the integrity and independence of the newspaper it¬ self. 1 Story Penthouse The Chicano community struggled to establish the independence u, La Voz and will not now stand idly by and watch that independence miti¬ gated. I support to this eminent minor- voice. Together we will settle for no¬ thing less than an independent and Chicano La Voz De AztUn. Roberto Cafe DC snowed in Sliding down Capitol Hill From Page 2 the strong 50 miles per hour wind made the 30 degrees feel like zero, but still there wasn' t any snow. My first week in Washington, the natives kept asking me how I was doing: "Are you warm enough," they asked laughing. I told them yes, but even if I hadn't been I wouldn't have told them. I trudged out into the snow, determined to show them that Californians could take it. So what if my fingers were turn¬ ing blue and my face was turning red. But after the second week of snow, pride started to bend to common sense. The 30-minute trudge in the snow to the Senate building was replaced by 45 minutes of stop-and-go traffic up slippery, icy Capitol Hill streets on a Metrobus, Then it happened. The forecaster predicted four to eight inches of snow We got 23. At midnight, I got a call from my boss, a press secretary. She explained that her boss, the junior Senator from Missouri, who had spent last week fogged in at St. Louis, was now snowed out of DC. 'Don't go to work," she said, 'No¬ body's there. Besides tomorrow's a holiday anyway." Some holiday. All the Washington Birthday Sales with eager buyers had to wait. The streets were buried. The cars were buried. The assistant secretaiv of the Senate was found dead in the snow. He had a heart attack. Still I had the day off. I had to do something. I called stores. Nobody answered the phone. They were snowed in and couldn' t get to work. I called the Smithsonian and got a tape recording which said it is open everyday except Christmas. They should add "except during blizzards." But I had to do something. I refused to be isolated and snowbound. Even my roommate from San Diego knew we had to do something. pairs of socks, two T-shirts, jeans, a long-sleeved shirt, a scarf and a coat. I was ready to find out what was left of Washington The scene was like something out of a science fiction movie. It was beauti¬ ful. The sun was shining It was a warm 30 degrees But the streets were deserted. The buses had stopped. The subway had stopped. The federal government was shutdown. All that was left of life were a few l looking for the remains of e VW was buried up to Then suddenly two police cars appeared. The radio announcer had said the police wanted people to stay off the streets and I thought we would be ordered back inside Instead one cop called out over his loud speaker: "Watch out for that first driverl He's crazy." The first driver, another cop, just honked his horn and laughed. Washington is a disaster and people here had two choices: enjoy it or cry. From what we saw, a lot of people opted for the former. As we walked toward Independence Avenue and the Capitol, we discovered some of the natives who had decided to make the best of it. Some people made snowmen in front of the Health, Educa¬ tion and Welfare building Some skied on the Capitol parking lot. Some wrote silly sayings in the snow While others, including this Califor- nian, went on a 2'/. hour hike in knee According to the D.J. on the radio, the nation's capitol will be dead tomor¬ row, too.

'Howdy JimmyOlsen, what's up?" "Dais', did you hear about the seal slaughter up in Canada? Every year, hunters club baby harp seals for their skins. Little seals, less than a week old. They just club their heads to a bloody mess, then skin them for their white fur. The Canadian govern¬ ment allows about 200,000 seals a year to be massacred." "That's gross. Just godzaful ugly. That really makes me sick." "Yeah, some organization wants me to send them some money to help them stop it." "Well, I'd sure send a few bucks. Cute, little defenseless seals I'd do something to stop it." "Why Daisy Mae, I didn't know you were an activist." "I am when something that criminal is allowed to go on." "Tell me, would you get involved if the seals weren't so cute and defenseless - say like a rattlesnake? You know, they hunt them down for their skins also.' "Yeah, I hate rattlesnakes - they' re ugly." "So are a lot of other things Like people starving while others throw away steak. Like some people living in shacks while others live in *>1,000-a-month penthouses.' 'Oh God, spare me. I can't get involved in everything. Let the government take care of 'em.' 'Come on, where's Daisy the activist? The disparity between wealth and poverty in this nation isn't criminal? Are you an acti¬ vist only when the situation' s black and white? 'Everyone agrees killing little seals is terrible - except the seal hunters and fur buyers. That's an easy cause to get behind. Let me see you get involved when the answers aren't so easy. Every¬ body's willing to help when solutions don't require much effort. Let's see you sacrifice some time and energy in solving some real problems ' 'Well, Mr. Hot-Shot Reporter, just what are we supposed to do?* 'Daisy, dear, If I knew the answers I would be knocking on the White House door tomorrow. I do know that it's going to take some sacrifice...' "Sacrifice! I don't even own a color TV." "...sacrifice on the part of those in control. You and I, Dais', are not exacly sitting at the top of the heap. I mean sacrf ke from those who have the power to change things. 'I don't mean throwing around a few tax dollars here and there, I mean restructuring the way this government operates." "You want the people who are in control of the power structure to change things, even though it won't benefit them." -Yeah." 'Dreamer, you're nothing but a dreamer. Can' you put hands "Seriously, I'd like to see them do something." "OK Jimmy. How do we go about this task?* "Well, I figure we might start by identifying who 'they' are, how 'they' got where they are. what..." 'This sounds like work." 'Like I said, 'sacrifice some time and energy.'" 'Sounds noble, real noble. You got the address for that seal or¬ ganization?' 'Quitting already, huh? Why don't you get off your checkbook and do something.' "Hey - I may not be at the top of the heap, but I'm not at the bottom, either. I can handle things where I am.
