The Young Rebels In America
Youth has been the traditional rebel against the
status quo. It has always been youth expressing
boredom with things as they are, through demon¬
strations, political drives, protests of one kind or
another. Even Mao Tze-tung has complained that
the youth of China is bored with revolution, which
is the status quo in that country. In America, there
is general contentment with things as they are which
weds the majority to the status quo; when youth
voices Its boredom It turns to revolt.
This Is clearly a major reason for student pro¬
tests against the war In Vietnam. On the one hand
the young American hoars the pious mouthlngs of
the politicians who cry out high-sounding phrases
about freedom tor the gallant people of Vietnam,
and how we are saving them from Communism
and helping them in their noble struggle against a
vicious aggressive enemy. On the other hand, Amer¬
ican correspondents send back reports and pictures
of brutalities committed by these noble, gallant
people of South Vietnam, horrible tortures, burning
of villages, and the Inevitable shots of women weep¬
ing over their dead babies, stories of bombings and
killings. This Is not exactly tho picture of a valiant,
virtuous people struggling to remain free, of the
good guys who are fighting Evil.
So there Is conflict In the mind. What to believe?
Then the American youth Is asked to reconcile
patriotism with practicality. There Is the Draft.
That is a device by which the Organized America,
the Government, the Establishment, reaches out to
snatch you from your home and your girl and your
Job ai
to kill a
behalf of those wonderful, noble, free people of South
Vietnam and save them from Communism. But the
Draft Is something you can get out of one way or
another, maybe, and if you don't, then the fellow who
can dodge It and stay home, still has his girl and
above all, his job and his Income.
It Is not surprising^ that the American youth tends
to look upon Government as a monster which tries
to regiment everybody and tell people what to think
and what to do, and when to go out and get killed. It
used to be that Big Business would fight Big Govern¬
ment as an enemy, a competitor, something to be
throttled betore it got too big and stuck its nose into
private business. Today Big Business looks upon Big
Government as a partner and a major customer,
for without the Government, where would business
be today? And—Labor used to be the big protesting
force to America, protesting against Big Business
and Big Government. Not any more. Today Big Labor
maintains Big Lobbies to Washington to help Big
Business get those g o v e r n m e n t contracts which
mean money tor their members back home.
Nobody is left to cry out against Big Government
any more, that is nobody among the elders to Amer¬
ica. They are softened Into contentment and resig¬
nation by the general prosperity, the new cars and
color TV and electric can openers.
Nobody, that is, but America's youth. Youth, the
traditional rebel against the status quo. Youth sees
the American government making the big decisions
and demanding obedience. The government says:
Bomb North Vietnam, and everybody must agree.
The government says: Bomb Vietnam, and every¬
body must approve. The government says: We are
fighting "Communism* to keep China out of South¬
east Asia, and the nation rubs Its sleepy eyes and
nods Its befuddled head and plays Trilby to the new
White House Svongall.
But there Is that Draft. The Draft is part of the
new Organized America, the new regimentation, the
new Establishment. The young man, fired with the
spirit of adventure, bored with cliches and stereo¬
types and eager tor outburst, protest, rebellion,
can see the draft as something you can get out of
If you're smart, and only the dumb guys get caught
in It. Even if it means getting married and becoming
a father when you're still to college, >ven if that
will ruin your life, your education, your happy
home—It means beating the draft, beating the
Establishment, beating the Organized America.
Along come Communists. They are natural revo¬
lutionaries. They want not only to end the Vietnam
war, end the draft too, but to end the entire Ameri¬
can economic, political, and social structure. For
the moment, their opposition to the draft and the
war make them seem like valuable allies. And, they
have fire, and drama, and they are exciting. So one
a»»a The Students tor a Democratic Society, for in¬
stance, occasionally demonstrating with placards
that say: 'Down With the US Imperialist Pentagon
War Mongers and Their Running Dogs and Hyenas.*
The students talk of sending food and blood plasma
to North Vietnam, and they hear an occasional
faculty-member like Eugene D.Genovese of Rutgers
University announce (during the recent New Jersey
state election campaign): 'I am a Marxist and a
Socialist, therefore I do not regret or tear the Im¬
pending Vletcong victory to Vietnam, I welcome
It." (Of course there were prompt demands by some
people on Capitol Hill tor an Investigation of So¬
cialists and left-wingers on all campuses, right
away.) Professor Genovese loomed to some eyes as
the hero-rebel who dared speak out against the
Organized America. And It's smart to defy so boldly
and so shockingly.
There are young Communists side by side with
young non-Communists to the student protest move¬
ments and why not, under the circumstances,youth
asks. In World War n the United States considered
it proper and wise to embrace the Soviet Union as
its ally to the fight against the Fascist Axis (which
wanted to regiment everybody). So it may appear
to modem American youth perfectly proper and wise
to welcome Communists as allies in the fight against
the Organized America (which wants to regiment
everybody). In war as In revolt, "an enemy of my
enemy is my friend.*
The top politicians are afraid that the public
demonstrations by students and others might give
North Vietnam the Impression that the war Is un¬
popular to America, and that might encourage them
to believe the American military might be slowed��down or halted. Maybe that is so. But on the other
hand, would It be better to give our own government
and the world the false Impression that the war is
popular with all the American people? To American
youth, this government effort to silence protest is
simply characteristic of the drive toward bigger
and bigger government, and more and more regi¬
mentation. Big Business which used to fight Big
Government, has been bought off; so have tho farm¬
ers who now get government subsidies; and Labor
which used to fight the existing order of things,
now supports Big Business and Big Government.
And there Is nobody left to do any protesting, no¬
body left to fight, to cry out against the Authority—
nobody but the American Youth.
When the Mayor of Los Angeles issues a procla¬
mation calling on all citizens to support the Govern¬
ment in the Vietnam war, and to snow unity, he
merely sumbollzes the Organized America, where
everybody is expected to behave like everybody else��and believe like everybody else, and above all to
believe that everything the Great Father (or Is It
Big Brother?) thinks and says and orders auto¬
matically becomes gospel and anybody who dares
question Its justness and Its wisdom Is a traitor.
Let us not stifle this modem Young America.
Let us encourage it, and let us be grateful tor It,
tor Its courage and Its daring and Its fighting
spirit. Burning a draft card Is an act of defiance,
a violation of a new law. So was dumping tea into
Boston Harbor.
Let us also remember that America's youth may
be drawn not away from, but toward Communists,
to the common effort at protest. And that when youth
protests, it Is seldom subtle and delicate and silk-
gloved, but that even the natioc
VISTA Volunteer
Values Her Job
Parlier's VISTA volunteer is
a pert auburn haired college
graduate who could easily be
recognized as a school teacher,
homemaker or career-gal.
Instead, Lucy Norman joined
Volunteers In Service To Ameri¬
ca upon graduation from the Uni¬
versity of Michigan, where she
received a bachelor's degree to
English literature.
Working In West Parlier's
colony, Miss Norman describes
her year as Terrlflc—*thai's
terrifically bad and terrifically
good. This is like ten years of
true life experience," she
bubbled.
A fervent Interest In joining the
Peace Corp led Miss Norman to
Join VISTA. 'Waiting all those
months for acceptance and clear-
a VISTA application from the
Peace Corps offices. I filled It
In and joined and was assigned
to Parller.*
Par Her, Is approximately 12
miles south east of Fresno.
Miss Norman visited Fresno
State College yesterday with
VISTA recruiters, Sheldon Butts,
Donna Whitley and Frances Lee,
all of Washington, D.C.
e been ai
Monday answering
her acceptance at the Colony.
"They ask your motives. If you
say just a willingness to help,
they ask, but why?' If I tell
them I want to become a teacher
and tills Is good experience for
me, they'll accept it.*
Miss Norman was responsible
tor establishing a day care nur¬
sery to Parller. Assisting her
with this project were the Future
Homemakers of America at Par¬
ller Union High School. The FHA
group Is working with VISTA as
part of a project In their Nation¬
al Program of Work, "Partlcl-
.lati.n ii C immunity Services.*
In answer to the Colony's re¬
action to the Delano grape Strike,
Miss Norman comments that
some of the people are against
stand It and some question It.*
The Colony located one mile
west of Parller, Is comprised
of 1,600 migrant farm workers.
About half are citizens and half
of those are registered voters.
Miss Norman attributed much the
Colony's plight, a real poverty
target area of the central San
Joaquin Valley, to apathy. 'This

bitterly unhappy about what
society, are likely to be savage when they get mad.
Let ua not lose sight of what America's youth
has done to tight the Injustice of white man's arro¬
gance, of the thousands who volunteered to go into
the deep south and risk Jell and the indignity and
physical barm and even death In order to fight
against the established order, the Organized Amer¬
ica that exists there. Let us glorify and extoll and
also let us thank them for their rebelliousness, and
the rest of ua might hang our beads to shame tor
having stayed boms and clucked our tongues and
shaken our lazy heads ai the sight of some of them
with beards and sloppy clothes.
It Is America's Youth which refuses to accept the
cliche that we are "fighting for freedom "In Vietnam.
But there U a fight tor freedom. It Is right here
in our own country. And It Is young America which
Is fighting tor it, and if the fight should be won, the
rest of us will have the Rebel Youth to thank tor It,
not ourselves.

Part of her job includes model¬
