V feedback I No one else? i*i - _v population. The (fldfc t mtenocfrlWhen. (dl Amin' presided over mass genocide in Uganda, including murders of Americans; the Tanzanians took advantage of the weakened economy and decimated population to take over. - v To the Editor: The Shah didn’t murder thousands of Iranian people; Iranians murdered thousands- of Iranian people. The lust of the population for blood is reaffirmed by the replacement of the murdering Shah with the Murdering Khomeini. Nothing article Time will prove Iran has more to fear from the enemies which surround it (such as Iraq) than from the US. Our oil prices have doubled lately, certainly another 5 cents a gallon will not lead us to war. The U.S. should not have supported the Shah. But he may have been the best alternative tor the Iranian people. To the Editor: A Jewish-Russian refugee to the country said, Perhaps “Robert\ Gentile made the comments as attributed to him by Joe Simon In his article \Two-Year Old International College Hurt by Lack of Funds,\ I certainly did not. More importantly, when I agreed to answer Joe Simon's questions about 1C, its courses and its funding, I did so only on the provision that he would read and report qqjny Annual Reports of 1978 and 1979. He did not, awhlch seems to me to lack honesty as well as scholarship. , In those reports I documented the history of the College, the governance procedures established, and the rationale for the decisions to offer only a few new courses, if hindsight proves that the Steering Committees of two years and I were mistaken in the approach we took, so be it. As chief administrator during those years, I accept responsiblility for implementing policy decisions and providing leadership to the college. As for the claim that Ms. Brown “... had complete control over what was going on, if there was such a mandate it's because that's what she wanted\ (sic.), first, it is not true and, second, I have trouble believing that Larry Knipfing said what he was quoted as saying. So what is to be made of the article? Nothing, I hope'. If anyone is Interested in a historical analysis of International College, s/he may wish to begin with the above-mentioned Annual Reports, the Report of the Faculty Senate Chartering Committee, the College's old and new charters, and proceed from there to conduct interviews and/or draw Inferences. People get the goverment they deserve”. The U.S. may have pushed the Shah on the Iranian people, but I am certain it could not have been done without at least tacit acquiescence by a majority of the population. The U.S. didn’t interfere when Pol Pot presided over mass genocide; the Vietnamese ended that reign with their own executions and mass starvation of the Would any other leader have supported less murder? Certainly not Khomeini. Possibly there was no one else. Eric Andruscavage Learn to spell To the Editor: little to do with the percussion set. The next song of the set, \Warf Rat”, is correctly spelled “Wharf Rat\ “Bertha”, a favorite rocker to old time DEAD HEADS, Is sung by Garcia, not Weir. Weir’s vocals on the song are minimal. The encore, \U.S. Blues”, may have been a surprise for you, but it was certainly no surprise to me or any of my fellow DEAD HEADS. “U.S. Blues” Is one of their standard encores, along with \Johnny B. Goode\ and \One More Saturday Night”, amoung others, but certainly not \St. Stephen”, or “Uncle John’s Band\. In essence what I am saying is: Why do you let assholes write about the greatest rock and roll band ever? They deserve better treatment than that considering their status in the music world. I suggest that next time you need an article written about the Dead or their relatives, you should contact an informed person. I would be willing to write an article for you any time to se the Dead the embarrassment of asshole writers. Quite surprised tpat The Other One did not include an article on the Dead show in its 11/15/79 edition, your article was quite welcome, However, tpat is no excuse for irresponsible journalism by a writer who obviosly knows little about the subject he writes uh on. He referred to Jerry as being “Angry throughout most of tpe first set.” On the contrary, he was livelier than could be expected, considering he was spending a cold, rainy, Friday night in Buffalo. As to jerry being“lost in the crowd,” my memory and the tape of the show back me up in hroving the band (including Jerry) was tighter than ever in both sets. They opened the second set with “Dancin’ In The Streets”, and contrary to the title, it is not disco Dead, but is in fact spaced-out rock and roll. If Stephen Bogorad wishes to write newspaper articles, I suggest he learns how to spell correctly. This would not even mean buying a dictionary, but merely looking at album covers to get the correct song titles. For example \Estimated Profit\ can be simply corrected to \Estimated Prophet\ and “Sarin Getty” therefore becomes “Serengetti”. Simple, isn’t it? This brings us to the fact that “Sasengetti”, a song composed and performed by the dynamic duo, has J. Ronald Gentile Applause, applause Joel Hskowitz To the Editor: Editor's note: All typos and misspelled words in this letter are the author's. Sorry for the embarressment The following is a copy of a letter sent to Editor Joe Simon: (sic). I was pleased with your article on International College in yesterday’s The Spectrum. Given the complexity of the situation and the changing condition of the college, I thought your article was fair and representative. Thanks. Appeal to reason Murray M. Schwartz, Dean To the Editor: right to self-determination.” Has he forgotten that any press releases'from Iran are reviewed by the Khomeni government first? How can you support a country's right to self-determination when the inmates are running the asylum? Lastly, Pfoltzer altadks Pres. Carter for his “selective persecution” of Iranian students In America. The \persecution” Carter has ordered all students to report to immigration authorities to update their passports so that they won't have any legal hitches In the future. To date one Iranian has been deported. Now really, Dan ... persecution? You say Carter will try to stop people like you from “telling the truth\. At least you don’t have to worry that he'll cut your hands off. The Politburo in Moscow toasts to your name, Dan Pfoltzer. The welcome mat of anti-U.S. propaganda is on Iran's doorstep; Moscow eyes the next domino. I promised myself that I wouldn’t contribute to the mass of editorials about Iran, but Dan Pfoltzer's article, “An Appeal to Reason\ in the Nov. 15 The Other One was just loo much to bear. If we begin to believe narrow, sensationallstic views like his, this country Is lost. Pfoltzer mocks the U.S. national interest as If it were a tacky, passing fad. He considers strategic military positions and the securing of oil for Americans minor details. This warped “reasoning” is epitomized in his assertion that the U.S. wages undeclared war on Third World countries, which I assume implies Vietnam. It is people like Pfoltzer who actually believe that the tiny, unorganized armies of North Vietnam and not communist China were the motivators in the so-called “civil war”.

Had the “patriots” insisted that our country stop supporting dictators who stay in power by killing and torturing, we would not be in the mess we are in now. We would also have a country which I could be genuinely proud of. As a teacher and as a community organizer, I’ve been working full-time to make our country a better place to live. I care a lot about America, but I won’t join the flag- wavers and so-called \pro-American” demonstrators. While I too condemn Iran’s taking of American hostages, if I demonstrate for anything, it will be for peace and for a U.S. foreign policy that is consistent with our cherished Meals of democracy and respect for Walter Simpson, Instructor Rachael Carson College Coordinator, Western New York Peace Center Labels?
