US.-parthl to Israel
Moat Arabs have now come to the politically correct realization
that the US, rather man being merely partial to Israel, Is actually
part of the conflict and la an active oppon
Perhaps the American people are u
towards the Arabs, Just aa many of them are unaware of their prej¬
udice  against  their non-white  countrymen. It Is now clear to the
lallty of a dialogue' la surprisingly simpler than the complex anti-
Arab phenomena In this country. When a people think of themselves
as the moat free, moat advanced, It la very unlikely, without some
backward,  should be able to convince them of the basic Justice of
In order to understand the unlimited support in this country
of Israel, one has to know certain historic, psychological, and
political facta. Historically, both the white Americans and the
European Jewry have displaced a native people of their land. No
falsification of history whatever will change the basic fact that
those who have conceived, planned, and executed the formation of
Israel were Europeans or Americans. The underlying principle being
that   'he   who   could   make better use of the land shall have It*.
Psychologically, there are two main reasons for American
partiality. The most obvious is the feeling of guilt that haunts
European and American Christians regarding their ancestors per¬
secution of the Jews. The Arabs serve as an ideal sacrificial
lamb to which their guilt complex may be displaced. The Americans
feel that they have done too little too late to rescue the Jews from
Nazi butchery, and they have to make it up now. Another less
conspicuous psycho-historic reason with some Westerners Is the
subtle satisfaction felt at the defeat of the Arabs as a result, per¬
haps, of some godly retribution for their humiliation of the Cru¬
saders many centuries ago!
Where politics comes Into the scene, we find that the govern¬
mental and propertied classes are principally concerned. There,
the fact that the Arabs, as well as many Third World peoples, are
driving toward Socialism, that they want to assume control of their
own affairs and he the beneficiaries of their own resources, that
they are antagonistic toward the US Imperialistic and exploitive
policies round the world, that Nasser and other progressive Arab
leaders are determined to fight Western alms not only In Arabia
.but also elsewhere, all this cannot make hut bitter adversaries for
the Arabs in this country. Therefore, It Is logical to expect the U.S.
to strengthen, protect,   and further the expansionist alms of Israel.
It would then be enormously naive for the Arabs to try to change
by propaganda what had become undisputed articles of faith In the
minds of Americans. As to those who tell them that Israel Is now
a 'fact*, let them, reply: such a fact could only be altered by the fact
of armed resistance; that we shall make it so hellish for the rapists
of our land that they will finally be compelled to disgorge what
they have greedily swallowed. Moharned   Hassan

Our system allows
to plan ahead. No
plans can be made. Often courses
for major requirements cannot
be obtained. Both work and study
plans cannot be considered until
after registration. Books must be
bought Immediately, often within
a day's flme, overcrowding our
Inadequate bookstore and not al¬
lowing time to locate and buy
used books. Fees must be paid at
registration, allowing notlmefor
loans to come through, or'the
chance of money being scarce on
that day of the year.
Our system also wastes time,
such as the time spent on plan¬
ning trial schedules. One of these
schedules must be copied over
several times in a registration
booklet.. Then when three of the
five classes you wanted are
closed, or you need an unobtain¬
able green card, all the time
spent becomes wasted. The hours
waiting In line outside and Inside
the gym are also time needless¬
ly spent.
Pre- registration would help or
alleviate all these problems.

It is now a matter of established fact In the community at large
that State Senator Hugh Burns Is on the take. This Is no revelation,
having been well documented In the recent past by the Los Angeles
Times and Is common knowledge to every serious political reporter
who has covered the Capitol beat.
The Senator has dishonored this community and this state of
California which he has sworn to serve. I remind you that this man,
In his oath of office, swore to uphold the law and, Implicit in this
vow, Is the promise of honest and aboveboard conduct. This oath feas
been shattered In one ugly episode after another — from the Initial
report of his sub rosa dealings with insurance company cronies to
his ruthless off-wlth-thelr-heads treatment of fellow senators who
opposed him In his bid for re-election to the all-powerful position
of senate president pro-tern.
Yet nothing Is done. District Attorney William Daly is silent; the
Grand Jury stands mute; the Van Ness Avenue elitists have made
no outcry. The example seems to stand and aU of the literate youth '
of Fresno Is put on notice that shady operations are rewarded with
continued power, with full favor from those who perhaps stand to
gain from their inaction. Where Is the law?
Instead we see the spectacle of a Superior Court Judge, Matt
Goldstein, the Clovts Police Department and the Clovls School
authorities continuing their witch hunt against suspected users of
marijuana. This sorry episode of mindless vengeance against youth
— with arrests, expulsions, the terrors of Imprisonment and the
permanent stigma of the felon attached to their names — suffices to
make one with even a trace of warmth in his attitudes toward his
fellows grow faint with concern.
This swinish attitude has spread:
In Santa Barbara, hundreds of thousands of gallons of crude oil
is dumped on the beaches and the Secretary of Interior hema, haws
