(From a talk delivered by Linda Kanner during our
College Night Services)

Two visions--one of a single community, the
other of the World as a whole. Does accepting one

necessarily mean forsaking the other? Our schools—— )
the ones to which you, our parents, have sent us-—
stress universality, and the principle that all men ’ ?

must live together, in peace, lest we die together,
in War. We have learned that the World is our home——
and we have learned that someone has scattered gun-
powder in every corner of this home, You fought

for freedom in Germany, Japan and Korea. You are
pleased with local progress against segregation. But
in spite of all this, the task left for the future is
appalling. Perhaps you have done all that is humanly
possible; yet'we feel that We can, and must,
accomplish much more.

Are we frightened of mere chimeras? Are we
just too inexperienced and too gullible to realize
that all is not as gloomy as the politicians would
have us believe? NO! There is doubtless some
exaggeration. But as long as the bombs and the
nuclear submarines continue to grow larger and more
deadly efficient, we cannot be satisfied. Even our
jokes have a grim note: the optimist teaches his
children to Speak Russian; the pessimist teaches
them Chinese.

'Within our own communities we can act; but
what of the larger vision? Is it too great for us?
Shall We wait until We are older, and have gained
wealth and reSpect, and very possibly have lost our

devotion to the vision? We are accused of apathy, ?
and all too often the charge is true. we forget,
or don't bother, or haven‘t time; but most of all, 3

we are overwhelmed by the magnitude and complexity
of the World, and fear that We are not strong
enough to act. If one rabble—rouser can stir up
riots in the South, cannot we make our voices heard

 in a more noble cause? Voices have been raisedr—
and they have not always gone unheeded. Throughout
the nation students have protested racial segregation
by sit—ins and picketing; have Worked within their
OWn schools to abolish fraternity and sorority bias
clauses, and discrimination in housing. Indignation
at the Un—Ameriean Activities Committee's policy of
“guilty until proven innocent” has been expressed
by riots in San FranciSCO and petitions in other
schools. we did not originate the idea of a Youth
Corps; but after John Kennedy and Chester Bowles
challenged us to serve our country and the world,

it was our wildly enthusiastic responSe which
persuaded Senator Kennedy to make a public commit—
ment to study the program. The very name of the
group formed to support the Youth Corps prtposal
expresses the reaSOn for our enthusiasm: Americans
Committed to world Responsibil; y.

'We have idealism, altruism, and great eagerness;
we lack the wisdom gained only through years of
experienceo For this, we ask your help and guidance.
we know that our dreams far outweigh our abilities;
but don’t tell us to stick to the smaller, more
immediate problems at home-uremember, our home is
the World. Don't laugh, or remind us that we can't
fight city hall or change human nature, or that
after a while we‘ll get tired of beating our heads
against the wall. 'We ask encouragement, not
ridicule, or a patronizing attitude. Give us
constructive criticism, all you'want; but respect
our visions.

{irom a talk given during our College Night
Service by Lance Liebmana)

We have studied. We havellearned. WE have
traveleda we have seen. 'And now we sit in our
ivymcovered dormitories, and We meditate on the
‘WOrld and on our place in ito

Our nnnd.is torn by a dnal vision. On the one
hand we see this World, its problems, its
challenges, its opportunities. From our Gothic
vantage it is easy to behold it all., The world
is nuclear disarmament, secretaries of state,
Algerian wars, lonely crost, Wave theory,
Jackson Pollack's painting, and Fidel Castro.
Those are the problems, the challenges, the
opportunities. And we are the generation about
to inherit theme A few years in grade school and
out we’ll go to solve those problems or at least,
by God, to go dOWn trying.

That, hOWever, is only half our vision. 'Wbere
we saw the warld-indeed the universem—now we
concentrate on a tight geographic bundlem~
Lexington, Frankfort or'Winchester, Haméen,
Worcester or Winnetkae "Where the questions en-
gaging our attenti,n qualified quite neatly as
Ne's That‘s Fit to Print, now We see I.hings that
hardly rate the so“iety p“ge of The H01 alda It
is 9w5 jobs; forms in tripliiate, diapers, nursery
schools, couriry CJHJS7 board of directors
m-ect:ngs, gr0i3ery oillsa It is the stuff of life,
and we see it, and know that someday soon We will
settle into it, but why.

Neither one of our visions presents a very
satisfactory picture. But somehow_we feel that
if We had the chance we could solve the big
problems—~could bring sense to the World and
achieve disarmament and integration. For it
only takes a little commom sense and some

knowledge of history to see the obvious solutions.
And even if We didn't succeed completely, at
least the tasks would be Worthy of us, of our
abilityh nd education, and trainingg But because
of our educations uni our realizations it may be
that we can overcome them, can at least make this
world a bit better than We find it. TWO factors
give us the chance, the ability to do $0. One is
the possibility that we will be able to merge our
tWO visions, the all—encompassing picture of
universal events and the specific View of un~
important routinesj that we will be able to apply
what we knsw of the world to our actions in that
tiny fragment of it that we are able to affect;
If we could? for example, apply cur knoalecge of
great men and great issues to the choices We make
in voting boothsJ rather than determining hose
choices on parochial bases of selfLinterest; if
we could act in our personal race relations the
Way we are sure people ”ever therefiu~ in Little
Rock, New Orleans and New Rochellemwshould act;
then we can certainly make things better.

Our other possibility is that We shall be able
to preserve the objective? even academic, method
of analyzing a problem and a situation that is
perhaps the finest skill that mosern higher
education teat-hes.3 Surely a substantial part of
the difficulties of this world are due to manis
inability to use his rationality once he be—
comes personally involved in a situation; It is
so 6 sy to see the world in blacks and whites,
with ourselves always among the Whites) but
crises? demagogues, and fear mar the only results
of this absence of the gray from our worldsa

In a speech at Yale recentlyp Archiha C matheish
commented on the general WillingnesS' ’
We are now in a "time of crisis," 533i:-

 “Avufi_ -.V a- or A _ A-

(From a talk by Richard Munich on College Night.)

Some of us are beginning to think now about our
futures. One of those questions that invariably
runs through our minds is where we want to live. '
Naturally; for those of us who have grOWn up here,
Lexington lies first in our hearts. So we turn our
thoughts homeward and like the good scholars we
consider ourselves to be, We begin to weigh the
pros and cons of Lexington. What kind of place
will it be in five years? 'Will some of those values
we have learned so laboriously in college turn out
to be just mythical? Or is there a possibility
that our college eXperience was not just a fouryear
kick? For you see, those of us who made college
an intense experience learned many things that are
not congruent with what We see around us.

On the positive side, we see a great deal.
Physically the tOWn is almost ideal —— there is a
university with a number of easily accessible and
startlingly bright men° There are a number of
satisfying social outlets —— enough sports to
assuage the most avid sportsman, a concert ~
lecture series that has brought the finest en~
tertainment to those who care about it, and just
enough people so that a certain degree of ink
timacy on many levels may be found. Economically;
Lexington seems to be fertile enough and finally..
it is home. There is a vast amount of personal
Vigor that exists in potential and in reality;
there is a feeling of dedication —- if only to the
most personal of goals. There is a good feeling
in the whole athSphere, a cosmopolitanism,
festered by the relatively high degree of
education and a vigorous transient population. At
the same time the smallness of Lexington keeps us
away from that horrible big city onrush of social
bombardment and oppressive competition.

But there are some dark spots on the Lexington

 

  

    

  

Horizon..uspots that make some of us wonder. we
'have a race problem which is‘far from over -— even
though not as noisy) perhaps, as New Orleans or

Atlanta —— but just as deep and just as pernicious. )
Most of the people I have talked with don‘t seem 3,
to care about this - "maintain the status quo -— ~

We can't do anything about it, integration will

come by itself.“ The city seems run by the staunchp
est voices of concern and the long dead Confederacy.
Downtown luncheon clubs that throw mottos around
like "service above self" only listen to what they
want to hear and walk out after their hour of ego
building with a stultifying security. Other
organizations seem worthless —— the same people
doing all the work and something as important as

the UJA has gone begging for leadership for as

long as I can remember.

Since most will always say that those kind of
problems are way beyond their responsibility -
although in fact they are not —— let us muse about
some of the more tangible projections. ‘When'Will
the petty; yet curiously pernicious pockets of
nasty gossip and muckracking about those from
whom'We are supposed to be deriving some measure
of satisfaction stop? Why is everyone around here
afraid to tangle with some of those questions they
put away with their textbooks twenty or thirty
years ago? 'Why is it so easy to get a card game
going and so difficult to find competent leaders
for community Work? If the youth see now how
difficult it is to cultivate any kind of comp
munity feeling, what will it be like for us and for
our children in the future when our elders have
shOWn us “the easy way out" of reaponsibilities
and obligations?

All of us are getting educations. But what for?
Is it just so that we can develop a mind —— or is
it to use? I am enough of a materialist to want
to use what I've Spent a lot of time and effort in

.r i ’ ’y,

 getting. Where do We turn when at‘every step we,
are met with pettiness, rotten values and a sur—
prising amount of apathy. A breed of sensitive
children searches for identity, and the whole pop- ‘
ulation sits back and tells them it is only a phase.
Maybe what exists is right, but the great questions
of our troubled age can only be approached by
people who know Why and what they are doing. Lear-
ington is doing nothing and gives only graveyard
silenCe and reactionary precepts to help us.

What do you want us to do? Shall We apologize
for not grinding through the depression? Shall "
we apoligize for not fighting in the war? Thank»
fully we haven't had to Weather any of those storms.
Perhaps this is the only reason we can question
what we have and look for better answers. But we
are looking and We would like your help, not your
disillusion, not your laughing scorn, not your
smugness and not your condemnation. But suddenly
we see the irrelevance of Lexington's petty judge—
ments for our lives and losing the security of
home like that; We are no longer smug.

If some of our elders would only ask themselves
what am I and why - and in searching for those
answers turned to their neighbors, can you imagine
the transformation? Pettiness would dWindle.
Gossip would have .no value for then We Would be
saying something about ourselves. When we realize
how much we need each other, then We Won‘t have"
to put ourselves above those about whom we talk.
To know that gossip and bigotry only betray the
highest forms of insecurity and loneliness be—
comes, in the end,‘ our greatest victory .a. our
highest beginning.

Then community responsibility becomes a lot more
significant than “four dot, five crack,“ or three
'spades, six hearts, Weimun or Goren. Because
through community comes the ultimate realization

 

     

    

:of self. Then all the textbooks of the world open
to us and illuminate our lives more than a fifth
of scotch, a hole in one or an overflow of saleS.

we must learn to live with people in an honest
way o. for in the foreseeable future —- not only
in Lexington, but in the whole World we will be
fighting for room to stand upon. But before we
learn to live with people, We must learn to live
with ourselves. Integration must first come in our
own hearts and.personalities. The time has come
to turn ourselves inward and develop a more
sophisticated and more mature selfeknoWledge -— a
knowledge which negates the false idols of our
civilization and points us toward the only real
and enduring object —— Man. Knowing that only
through man can we ever find ultimate justification,
We shall certainly find more humility and brotherly
love. Man's need of man does indeed constitute
his highest perfection, for in the realization
of this need and the positive action necessary to
fulfill'it comes that subtle fusion of thought and
emotion, of maximum satisfaction and ultimate
justification.

Home Again. I'm not so sure I agree; but I will be
forced to if the love and reapect that all of you
so desperately want is forever destroyed by your

The following supplements my comments of last
Week about the U.J.A. The budget below was adopted
by American Jews after a Study Mission in Israel:

I '

1961's SPENDING BUDGET .. $72,7ho,ooo.

” For a program encompassing the reduction of the
mal'eioarot population by at lease 2,000 families; for
the continuation of child care and youth services
through the Youth Aliyah centers at the 1960 level
(51‘ 12,000 3 for the transport, reception and pro-
cessing of a minimum of 30,000 new immigrants: and
for the first hase of its consolidation program on
behalf of the E85 farm settlements - the JeW13h
Agency in 1961 must receive from the U.J.A'u..'uu’

$51,095,000.

For its program of welfare services on behalf of
200,000 Jews in Europe, in the Moslem lands and
underdeveloped countries, and for the care in IMel
of a nfinimum of 29,000 sick, aged and handicapped
imigrants by its Malben network of homes, hospitals

UNDERSTANDIEJG THE PARABLE OF THE DRY BONES

Ezekiel par-opounded his basic convictions, in the
vision of” the" valley cf Dry Bones (Ezeldel 27), one
of the most electrifying passages of the entire
Bible. Israel .- in Chis vision - had ceased to be
a. living nation. Her people had lost faith in God
and in themselves.

To dramatize their plight, Ezekiel likened them
to scattered heaps of bleached bones, lying in a
valley. - '

But the Lord, Who had brought this terrible curse ,
on His peeple, promised to bring the dead bones to
life -- and to restore a unified Israel to its own
land under a descendant of King David, saying, "And .
I will make a covenant of peace with them and it
shall be an everlasting Covenant with them; and I
Will establish them and multiply them and will set
Hy sanctuary in their midst forever... ~
