I think you will enjoy reading it: Jenkin Lloyd Jones, writing jn The Ti sa Tribune the other day. was pondering an interest ing event that occurred a few weeks ago near Santa Maria, California. A notorious motor cycle gang known as Hell’s Angels had announced that a rally would be held on a beach near Santa Maria. And, as he observed, many small Califor nia cities have, in the past few years, been literally taken o\ei by what Mr. J ones called the bearded, bare-bellied beatniks on motorcycles who symbolize rebellion without cause.” But this time, aeeord’ng to his account, Mr. Jones said that the motley crew found them selves with a massive police escort that led them into a ♦ lead end road. And when one of the frustrated beatniks took a poke at a cop, his trip to jail broke all known speed records. The rally of the bums on wheels faded out. Why did this happen? Well, the managing editor of the newspaper at Santa Maria put it this way: ‘‘We thought,” he said, “that decent people should put on a demonstration for their civil rights.” The world has been full of demonstrations for the past few years. A demonstration is simply an attention-getting de vice. It can consist of lying down in a street, or a chorus of voices raised in the back of a lecture hall, or a picket line in front of the White House. Or, as in the case of Santa Maria, it can even consist of throwing a punk in jail. Not all demonstrations are bad. Nor are all of them good. But one thing is certain: A civ ilization is on the way to chaos when it reaches the point that jt cannot distinguish the differ- though this true- k driver. had heoh kilted decal!.w i eidor. 1 n.-tead. tile pie; and social wurke • r - i ' s u e d familiar stalemet at: The ; at Watts were, tl lev .'am. ur;v- < 1 11 to their action out u! i {.■el ation. ” This double standard of mor ality has now moved about a • close to tile seat ol our national government as it is possible to get. A short while ago. some 4U oi' 5(> Negro sharecroppers from Mississippi pitched tents in I .a Fayette Square directly a cross from the White lFc,se t*» protest what they felt war in adequate fedeial handouts. 1 he tents were clearly in w datier of the law. But did arty bod<!o anything about it? No indeed! Instead, the Department of the Interior issued a s’ateiueiit say ing that it wa.- all ngnt. "They’re not camping." said the government spokesman. " ’ In > are demons! rat ing. " It would be intere-lnm to know how long some group not in Lyndon Johnson's favor would last if the\ trad a tent eolony demonstration n a pun lie square across from the White House, There is one obvious ques tion in all of this, and that is: Do we believe m equality or don’t we? There is no equality involved in surrendering to pressure groups which deliber ately flout the law. What we have now is precisely what (leorg. Orwell described when he forecast a system of equali ty where “some are more equal than others.” There’s a lot of agony wait ing for all of us down that road.

( Ince you have made tin- determination. you have taken a Cng step toward a world of freedom in which men can hoid in their own names the {rower to decide the eietirse of their own lives.” Wagnci has been associated with the Tenne.''ee Valley Au thority .'ince IP.vb and was ap pointed chairman of the Board in l!»o2 by the late President John F. Kennedy. He also has a record of service to the Lu theran Church and the Boy Scouts of America. The speaker reminded the graduating class that no man can make life’s choices in iso lation. “The choices are made with an awareness of our total society and its relationship to those decisions,” he said. “And I in either case, we have come to : expect of a democratic society that it should leave us free to choose and decide as our indiv- j idual consciences move us." , In defining freedom, the , speaker pointed to the words of Salvador de Madariaga who said: "That man is free who , knows how to keep in his own hands the power to decide, at each step, the course of his lift*, and who lives in a society which does no block the exer cise of that power.” Each of us must cope with i change, Wagner said, for life is neither fore-ordained, nor automatic. "And that man is fret* who keeps in his own hands the power to decide— the power to make those choi ces as he resolves the uncer tainties,” he declared. “Change is not something to he feared but to be welcomed. Change is the process of progress. It is the vehicle of growth and ad vance. ” Pointing to change as our ! way of life, Wagner said that decision-making is our way of roping with it. He listed atti tude, development of an abil ity to think and analyze and the ability to choose the right ideals as important factors in decision-making. i “But even in a democracy i such as ours, conditions exist which for many people can limit the power of choice, which can remove for some individ uals their power to fully free decision,” Wgner said, in ref erence to the second part of ths Madariaga definition of freedom. He cited conditions such as unequal economic op portunity, prejudice and dis crimination, and war. “The church is concerned with forces that debase and brutalize the human personali ty,” he said. "The church has an active role in seeking out the truth in matters of war and peace, prejudice and brother hood, poverty and plenty.” One hundred six degrees were awarded at the commencement exercises and six students re ceived certificates for comple tion of a two-year business course.
