The Black Panthers are a po¬
litical party with a political pro¬
gram, but they have gained more
notoriety because of their advo¬
cacy of armed 'self defense."
"Must defend ourselves"
In one of the few Interviews he
grants, party chairman Bobby
Seale said, "People have always
thought of the gun bit when the
Panthers talk about self-defense,
but we must defend ourselves
against poor housing, poor
schooling -- we must defend our¬
selves against unemployment,
against racism -- because the
horror of ge' oclde Is lhat It Is
Does this
make sense
to you?
Let's accept the idea that you
need life insurance... now. And
you'll need H more as Ihe years
goby.
One of the smartest things you
can do now is to talk to your
College Life representative. Lei
him tell you about the BENE¬
FACTOR; the life insurance pol¬
icy that is individually tailored lo
your specific needs.
You are a preferred risk—that
means your life insurance will
cost you less. You can benefil
from deferred deposits.
College Life serves College Men
exclusively. That's why you
should get in touch with the
College Life representative;
don't wait for him to call you.

"This has always been a part
of our definition of self-defense.
The reason for the police-both
United States and local-Is (that)
they protect the racists, they pro¬

But despite his claim of "self-
defense," the November shootout
with the police was the fourth In

college campuses to help kindle

Headquarters raided
Only a few days before the In¬
terview with Seale, two Oakland
policemen were charged with
shooting up the Panthers' main
office ln Oakland. That Incident

Early In 19C5, Newton became
one of the first 10 members of
the Afro-American Association,
a black nationalist group, and
pursuaded Seale to join.
But both had dropped from the

Both admit their theory' was
largely drawn from the writings
of Mao, Che Guevara, Frantz
Fanon. and MUcolm X -- whose
emphasis on black unity and self-
defense has most heavily Influ��
enced the current activity of the
Panthers.
In the summer of 1966, the
Black Panthers were officially
formed and the first recruit was
14-year-old Bobby James Hut-
ton, who also became one of the
panthers' first victims when he
was shot to death by an Oakland
policeman last April 6.
Since then, both men and wom¬

Seale emphas Izes that "the

the Ku Klux Klansmen or other
racists who hate a person be¬
cause of the color of his skin. We
hate something all right, but It Is
this racist oppression we're sub¬
jected to — the gross unemploy¬
ment, the Indecent housing, the
murder of black people by racist
policemen, the drafting of black
people into the military."
Silting in a Berkeley coffee
house, one Panther observed,
■My fight Is not 10,000 miles
away but right here ln the streets j^
of Oakland, the same streets
where my beautiful black broth¬
ers have died."
The exigencies of the Panthers,
and Indeed many blacks, cry for N
resolve. But so far they believe
that the white community has only
sought to resolve the reaction
and disorder and not the causes.

WEDNESDAY
—SELF   DEFENSE   C!
In the last few years business has
changed as much as skirt lengths. So
has the work of the CPA.
Today the CPA helps solve a host
of problems rising from new technol¬
ogy (including the computer) and the
changing social scene.
He must be able to develop and
interpret a wide range of economic
data as a basis for decision-making
and corporate planning*
If you are a creative thinker, with
a strong analytical ability, account¬
ancy may be the profession for you.
You might join an independent
accounting firm, serving a varied list
of clients, perhaps becoming a part¬
ner eventually. Or you might start
your own practice.
Or you might become a key man
on the management team of a busi¬
ness, or join a non-profit enterprise,
or work in education or government.
What other profession offers so
many choices?
You can select college courses
that can lead to your CPA certificate
soon after you graduate. Or you /can
go on to graduate school. Ask your
faculty advisor about it.
We'll be glad to send you a booklet
with the whole CPA story.
