Viole nee Popular As Apple Pie, Tarpey Says

By LIZ WARD
"Who will cry 'Peace,'" he
said, and answered his own question.
"No one. Because it is far too
profitable to promote violence."
Dr. Lawrence X. Tarpey, professor of business administration,
is concerned that the .whole
economy of the United States is
apparently based on violence.
Speaking of nonviolence as a

personal ethic rather than a political pattern, Dr. Tarpey proceeded on the premise that war and
viplence are, for the United
States, cultural values.
"Youngsters are raised on war
toys. Young boys are taught early in life to fight back. Violence
is equated with manhood and
patriotism," he said.
"Anyone who is pacifistic is

And that can be an advantage.

Come to work for this giant and you'll begin to think
like one.
Because you're dealing with bigger problems, the
consequences, of course, will be greater. Your responsibilities
heavier. That means your experience must be better more

giant can give.

part of heads of families.
.There are diverse economic
forces which make violent behavior acceptable and desirable;
for example, the toy industry
which designs games and toys
for children based on man's inate
tendency toward aggressiveness
and violence.
Another example is the offering of scholarships by the military establishment which gives
men the opportunity to complete
college and simultaneously trains
them to kill to perpetuate violence.
America is a nation where violence is as popular as "apple
pie and sex," Dr. Tarpey asserted.
"Moral restraint is not a part
of the history of our economic
development. Economic violence
is a way of life," he continued.
His general conclusion, which
he termed "so trite, so trivial,
I am almost ashamed to state it,"
is that we must take the profitability out of violence. If we could
do this, we could limit it. But

You'll develop a talent for making hard-noseimagina-tiv- e

If you'd like to be a giant yourself, and you've got

Inside Facts Hard To Get; Davis Said He Got Them

By GUY MENDES
Kernel Staff Writer
Ten thousand miles away, our
country is engaged in war. Except for reports from an occasional correspondent, the usual casualty figures and statistics con-

cerning the bomb tonnage
dropped on them, we know little
of the people we are struggling
against.
If more were known about
the North Vietnamese and conclusions were drawn from facts
rather than assumptions, perhaps
the present situation would be

ameliorated.
But facts from inside North
Vietnam are hard to obtain, and
even if they are obtained, they
are likely to be taken with a
grain of salt by a skeptical American public.
An assistant editor of The New
York Times, Harrison Salisbury,
toured North Vietnam in 19G6
and wrote a series of stories that
presented the North Vietnamese
nation to the American people.
But the reaction to the series
was mostly shock and disbelief.
One year following Mr. Salisbury's visit, another American

retraced his steps. Rene Davis,
of Stuone of the
dents for a Democratic Society
(SDS), was among seven Americans invited by the North Vietnamese government to visit the
country.
Mr. Davis,- who is presently
director of the Center for Radical
Research at the University of
Chicago, attended a conference
in September of 1967 in Bratis-laviCzechoslovakia, between
31 members of the peace movement in the U.S. and representatives of the National Liberation
Front and the North Vietnamese
government.
From there he was invited
to visit North Vietnam.
Mr. Davis, who spoke at the
Vietnam Forum Friday night,
said he viewed the inhabitants
of North Vietnam first-han- d
for
19 days and one of the conclusions he reached was that "the
real tragedy of the conflict" is
the fact that "the American people have little understanding of
the North Vietnamese people."
"There is a tremendous determination and confidence of
the people . . . the evidence is
-

a,

everywhere," Mr. Davis said.
"As in Britain in World War
II, there is a spirit under the
bombs. I was impressed with
the society they're building underneath the bombs. . . I've seen

Peaceful Women
There arc too few UK women
involved in the peace movement
and in the draft protest, and this
is probably because there is so
little pressure on women to be
active. However, action is such
that it need not come solely out
of pressure. Rather it seems the
lack of women activists comes from

in the Movement." Twenty-fiv- e
women attended. The reasons that
led them there were all quite different.
One woman, a housewife with

small community. How could she
motivate other women to be concerned? Discussion leader, Mrs.
A. Braden offered this suggestion:

others are concerned. There is no

in the dorms."
Many women are timid and the
